Surnames: Cecchini Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/1AC.2ACI/1596.2 Message Board Post: My Cecchini ancestors also came from S. Ambrogio (di Valpolicella). My g grandfather, Paul Cecchini came to the US in the early 1900's. He and his family settled in Barre, VT for quite some time before moving on to GA. Paul (Paolo) was born in 1874; his father's name was Antonio; his (known) siblings were Lodovico (1882); Amalia (1886), and Teresina. His son Victor Cecchini was my grandfather. Do you know the name of Silvio's father? Having seen how small S. Ambrogio is, I believe it likely that most Cecchinis that emigrated from that town to the US were related. Perhaps your father and my grandfather could have been cousins, I would love to share with you.
