It isn't surprising since Tyrol was part of Austria until 1918.denman922 wrote:Thanks for the help. I looked for the book you mention, but am unable to find. Do you recognize any of the names in my "signature"?
Also, ( just to add to the Tyrol subject line) I see in my maternal Gm family that my grandmother's ( born US but 100% Tyrolean) grandparents are: (F) Giovanni Froner, Giulia Ell and (M) Jacob Metz, Antonia Bonati. Three of these four surnames are not "traditional" italian names. I don't think I havn't seen anything on this board or anywhere else, a posting or info on people with "german" sounding names from Tyrol.
My Grandmother's parents were from Valle di Cadore & Pieve di Cadore (Nebbiu)denman922 wrote:Yes, I saw that. My Maternal GF's family is from Belluno, also.
Borgo Piave and Ponte nelle Alpi.
Thier name is Cabriel. In America, Gabriel.
I noticed that 99% of my ancestors with German/Austrian surnames, have traditional italian first names. I guess they were "italianized"
Very cool Sal, I don't think they were natives of Spadafora or lived there very long. They moved around a lot evidently. I am at a loss as to how to find where they came from.Sal wrote:James,
Just a note -- I saw your website (from the link you gave), and note the village of Spadafora. My father was born there, and I have info on his family back to sometime in the late 1700s -- but no link to your families.
