I have a Johanna Fiume Franco (Franko) in my ancestry.
her father was John (Joannes) Franco (Franko) born 1836/37 in Bocchere ,Mantova.
Is Fuime a surname and is it common to use it as a middle name
or was she named after Fiume (Rijika) in Croatia?
John supposedly ran away to sea age 15yrs possibly ...

is there any way to locate births in Mantova region/north Italy in period 1820-40.particularly interested in

village of Brocchere.
