Posted on: Amador County Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ca/Amador/337 Surname: Chichizola ------------------------- My paternal grandfather was a Chichizola. He lived in the New York/Brooklyn area in the late 1800s and early 1900s, returning to Italy about 1906. He married my grandmother, a Fossati. After they returned to Italy, they lived in Pontegiacomo, a village of Mezzanego, Italy--this being my grandmother Fossati's birthplace and family residence. I understand Pontegiacomo is about 26 miles east of Genoa, Italy. However, this was not the birthplace of my grandfather. A contact I made said some records of her Chichizola family were found in a church in Zoagli, Italy (close to Portfino/Genoa), but I haven't made a contact yet that connects my Chichizola family. If you find where they come from, please Email me. Maybe our families would be related. Thanks. Virginia
