Hello Marianluisa, my name is Emilia Miná from Buenos Aires, Argentina. If you search the phone book in my country you will find 16 people with that surname. I don’t know since when they are in the country, but at least now you know that there are families with that surname in Argentina too. I hope this helps. Best regards, Emilia Miná e-mail: emiancestry@yahoo.com http://www.geocities.com/emiancestry surnames: Miná, Filardi/o, Mena, Weht, Heim, Holzmann, Narda/Nardo, Garino/Ganino, Martínez, Fernández, Acosta, Pérez, Molina, López y Olivera.- ----- Original Message ---- From: sisibo <sisibo@gmail.com> To: GEN-ITALIAN-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, April 29, 2006 9:51:08 AM Subject: Re: Your Family Origins My name is Marialuisa Boin, I'm italian.
