Hello everyone, I am looking for information about my great-great-grandfather Martin Bottino Amoretti born in 1813 in Lago Di Como, son of Leonardo and Cecilia Amoretti.
He lived until 98 years old and had 13 children. These data appear in the certificate of his death in 1911.
He emigrated to South America, presumably first to Brazil and then Uruguay.
The story that I had heard from my parents and uncles is that he had fought alongside Giuseppe Garibaldi, but we do not know if in Brazil in the Ragamuffin War (1835-1845) or in Uruguay in the Great War. (1839-1851)
In 1855 his first son was born, Pedro who was my great-grandfather.
I appreciate any information that helps to learn more about his life.
