My ancestor Cesare Acquacalda was born in Ravenna in 1837 "figlio di Giovani e di Tersa Ronconi" This name doesnt exit any more in italy Where could i find any trace of my family? Thanks for any information

Hi there, I am searching for information on the family of Antonio Tognolini that arrived in Australia in 1874 on the Northumberland ship. He was born around 1850-55 in Tirano, Italy. According to his marriage certificate, his father's name was also Antonio and his mother's name was Madeline Tuni. If anyone could help I would be very grateful. Thank you. Narelle Tognolini Victoria, Australia.

Hello If you run across a road block, do not forget that a resource for finding family members is through Italy's Land Registry which can be accessed by going to www.landfinder.it You can also get maps and parcel numbers. Suggest you take a look at some of the free examples to get an idea of this important resource.

There was an Italian consulate in Toulon, France during the second half of the nineteenth century. I found a record of a marriage in the civil records of an Italian town (Thures) that was a transcription of the original sent there from the consulate, apparently since one of the wedding party was born in that town. I would like to know where the Toulon consulate's records of marriages in the nineteenth century are kept (if they were) because I am seeking information on another marriage that was not reported to Thures. The consulate itself (if still there)? In Rome? Somewhere else? Thank you. Bob Bouvier

>If I had Southern Italians or Sicilian (or both) ancestors, do they in >any way descend from Romans? Of course, I would have some Italian >(non-Roman), perhaps Phoenician, some other stuff, but would ANY of my >personal ancestors be Roman? Or, were Romans so thoroughly dispersed >finally that some modern Italians have absolutely no Roman ancestor? Although the Romans did plant colonies in southern Italy and several prominent Roman families maintained estates there (especially in Campania), it would be impossible at this point in time to claim definite ancestry from the Romans. You also have to consider that the term "Roman" changed over time as well. While it originally referred to those actually native to the city of Rome itself, Roman citizenship was gradually expanded to encompass the entire free population of the empire, including the whole of Italy and Sicily. Using this expanded definition of "Roman" then I would feel safer in claiming Roman ancestry. Said ancestors may never have set foot in Rome itself, and may indeed have been of Greek, Syrian or other background but they would have been "legally" Roman. Another difficulty for claiming ancestry would have been the terrible disasters that befell southern Italy and Sicily after the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in the late 5th Century AD. Thanks to famine and plague, invasions, piratic raids, natural disasters, etc. large areas of southern Italy and Sicily were depopulated. Whatever ?Roman? element of the population survived would have eventually blended with later arrivals including Greeks, Saracens, Lombards and others. Still, it is not entirely impossible that some "Roman" or even ancient Greek DNA may possibly be floating around in you. A few years ago, geneticists developed a theory that the populations of several villages and towns in the Cilento area of Campania were essentially still largely ancient Greeks thanks to their relative isolation from the rest of Italy. This, however, would morely be the exception for southern Italians rather than the rule. So, in answer to your question about "Roman" descent for southern Italians and Sicilians, it is definitely "Maybe." hesperius@aol.com Robert Rizzolo

If I had Southern Italians or Sicilian (or both) ancestors, do they in any way descend from Romans? Of course, I would have some Italian (non-Roman), perhaps Phoenician, some other stuff, but would ANY of my personal ancestors be Roman? Or, were Romans so thoroughly dispersed finally that some modern Italians have absolutely no Roman ancestor?

Ciao Sergio, vedrai che otterrai tutto ...! Saluti.

What subrace of "white" are you? When you tell people what car you have got do you tell them "A white one"? No? Well that's how we describe people! Did you know we have changed little physiologically for thousands of years, but the races of Europe can be seperated into subraces such as: Irish Brunn (John Wayne)? Borreby (Marilyn Monroe, Robert Wagner)? Keltic-Nordic (Tony Blair, Lix Hurley)? Falish (Arnold Schwarzenegger, Val Kilmer)? Paleo-Atlantid (Sean Connery, Catherine Zeta-Jones, George Harrison)? To find out which breed of white you are upload a photo and get a free anthropological classification on any of these websites Skadi http://forum.skadi.net/forumdisplay.php?f=238 Dodona http://www.dodonaforum.com/forum/index.php Stirpes http://forum.stirpes.net/forumdisplay.php?f=75 PHYSICAL ANTHROPOLOGY LINKS Society for Nordish Physical Anthropology http://www.nordish.com/ Anthropological Glossary http://www.nordish.net

Hi Anne, Thank you again for the compliments. I only try to do what I believe is right :) I have VERY good news for you and your father. Today I received 2 more emails from the commune of Tombolo. Here's what I've been told: The correct Italian name for Eliza was Elisabetta Tonietto. She was born in Tombolo on 3rd Dicember 1877, not 1875, according to their archives. She married with her husband, Cesare Vettore Cavicchiolo (yes, this was Victorio's real name), on 12th December 1894, in Tombolo. Cesare Vettore was 29 years old when he married (which is correct, since he was born in 1865, as you wrote me earlier) and his parents were Luigi Cavicchiolo and Caterina Manganello. Cesare Vettore first emigrated to Brazil on 6th September 1891. Then he got back in June 1893, married in 1894, and on 25th May 1896 left for Brazil again. Together with him, this time, went his wife Elisabetta and their daughter, Giovanna, born in Tombolo, on 9th September 1895. This is what I was told. Let me know if I can help you more :)
