My ancestors are Anglo-Italian, but through a complicated story via Australia. My Grandfather, probable name Francresco DE MORI, mother Lucia BARBAROTTO was born in 1876 near Conegliano in the Veneto Region. Along with 300 other Italians from the Region, they joined the Marquis de Rey expedition to Australia in 1880 which ended in disaster. There is much published about this expedition which is part of Australian folklore. Would however be interested in hearing from anyone who has links to either the DE MORI or BARBAROTTO Families in the Veneto Region. Ken in Brussels --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
