Surname: Malva

Post by thedipumas »

Ciao tutti,

I am wondering if anyone on here is familiar with or has ancestors with the surname Malva? My great-great grandmother had this surname and I can't find any record of her or her relatives. It doesn't seem to be a common surname, but I believe she either came from the Puglia/ Basilicata region OR an area around Tuscany. I only say that because my Ancestry DNA returned 30% Northern Italian and she's the only relative with unaccounted origins.

Thanks in advance!
