Re: Corsican's are Italians... why are we part of France

Salvatore_07 — 2013-04-12 14:13:24Z

I absalutely agree with you for years I've been fascinated with Corsica and don't understand why it's not part of Italy, I mean they speak Italian there and the towns are all in Italian when you look on the Corsican map, and Corsica is closer to Italy as it is to France. I think a public vote should be made declaring that they wish to no longer be part of France.

Research Puerto Rican history, besides Spanish, African Americans,there is a large population of French, Corsicans and Jewish people immigrate to Puerto Rico. My great great grandfather with the last name of Catinchi came from Corsica and help cultivate coffee, there is a plaque in Yauco PR thanking the Corsicans. I found all my info on Wiki: Corsicans in Puerto Rico, French in PR and Jewish immigration to PR.

Your book is wonderful. Thanks so much for the free download. My corsican family comes from the area of Yauco and Guayanilla. I was researching one of the family names Blasini when I found this thread.The lastnames are MicheliPiacentini,Blasini Emanuelli Paoli e Irrizarri. I understand Piacentini came from Yauco but I can't find anything back from 1910. I think my dad (86) & uncle (88) went to HS in Yauco.

A todos...mucho gusto familia...
Hola soy Daniel Delepiani vivo en Miami (Venezolano de Caracas), hijo de Luis Manuel Delepiani. Mi abuelo era de Ciudad Bolívar y su nombre era Oscar Delepiani Gilly (el famoso creador de los manuales de cuatro http://micuatro.com/acordes/tag/oscar-delepiani/ ). Mi abuelo Óscar nació en Venezuela creo que en Ciudad Bolívar, hijo de Manuel Moreno Delepiani y Ana Gilly. Oscar (mi abuelo) se casó con Ilse Chacón y tuvo 2 hijos. Luego se volvio a casar con Luisa Paz y tuvo 3 hijos. Falleció en 1987 en Venezuela. La mayoría de todos los apellidos ligados al Delepiani que apuntan todos los compañeros que han escrito en esta nota los he oído mencionar en conversaciones familiares. Mi tío Oscar ( hijo mayor de mi abuelo Oscar) fue el que me contó el origen de nuestro apellido y según su historia proviene de la Provincia di Génova (Italia - Regine di Liguria) que esta ubicada al nor-occidente de Italia, en la zona costera del mediterraneo compuesta de 67 municipios y su capital es Génova.

Saludos a todos los primos!

Frank Buzzotto or Bossotto

berryvine — 2013-02-01 00:08:54Z

I'm still looking for information on my great grandfather Frank Buzzotto. Has also been spelled Bossotto.

He was born in Corsica about 1860. His death cert says his parents were both from France. Although from France, they have an Italian surname. He was living in San Francisco bay area in their early 1900's. He married a Nellie Bona from Sicily. I don't know where he was married or what place in Corsica he came from.

Re: Corsican's are Italians... why are we part of France

vechhio — 2013-01-11 04:47:55Z

You're missing the point. Corisca was (and always had been) a part of Italy before it was given to France for money only. Genetically their closest to Italians from Genoa. Regarding Napolean, his family was originally from Genoa and Florence Italy. The Buonaparte family tomb lies in the Church of San Francesco in San Miniato (Florence Italy). He also changed his last name from "Buona"parte (Italian) to "Bona"parte to sound more French.

Hello,
Hi, my family is from Yauco, PR too. My father is Luis Nelson Tollinchi son of Mercedes Vidal and Dimas Tollinchi. I was very interested in finding any photos from Dimas Tollinchi, my Grandfather too...!!! We always heard that dad (Nelson) never really met his father because he was a todler when Dimas died... Dad is 87 now and lives in a home in Puerto Rico, my sisters who are still in PR take excellent care of him and i visit whenever i have a chance, i live in Fort Lauderdale, FL. He is very healthy and even though his mind comes and goes after our mother Elsa Rodriguez Battistini also from Yaudo, died 3 yrs ago, we know he is going to be with us for a looong while. I would love to find old photos of the family to show him.
Please you can reach me through the medium or my email: riz2399@gmail.com.

Many thanks and take care,
Riz

Because they are French and Italian and a mixture of both.
My grand parent was french from Corsica. Napoleon Bonaparte
was born in Corsica France. Maybe some fought with the German's ww-2 (Italian's). And some fought with the resistance (French)ww-2 But who really give's a hoot. Both are good people. Proud to be American.

I have a LOMBARDINI ancestor who arrived in Corsica around 1800, I do not know if he was born of Italian-speaking (Ticino) Switzerland or Italy.
I am looking to learn more about him.

Re: Cervoni/Chervoni/Bonapart

hanegroni — 2012-12-28 16:01:21Z

There is no family relation between the Cervoni and the Bonaparte Families. The families were just friends and a member of the Cervoni Family was a General in Napoleon's Army as well as a lover to Napoleon's sister Pauline. That is all.

Hi Lorraine!

I have the same great grandparents! My grandfather was Luis Cervoni and my dad is his son!

This tool is amazing, thus, I was just figuring out the lineage going back to France. I am blown away, hopefully we can collaborate.

You can also find me on Facebook under Michael Cervoni in Murrieta, CA!

Hi Sidney,

I'm a descendant of the Antommarchi/Matey family from Corsica.

My grandmother (93) who is still alive. Her name is Elba Antommarchi and her family was originally from Corsica.

My great great grandfather is Jose Agustine Antommarchi Matey (born in 1863); son of Santos Antommarchi and Susana Matey.

I would like to try and trace the genealogy back to Juan Antommarchi and Bidgetta Matey but may need some help.

Re: does anybody know

cavenezia — 2012-09-20 23:36:56Z

There are two Eidel families in the Corsica phone directory. One, in Ajaccio.

http://www.u-corsu.com/

Franceschi, Novili - Corcega

wiwf — 2012-09-14 02:25:18Z

I am trying to get info on my family from Corcega. My ggrandfather, José Franceschi Noviti (or Nobili) migrated from Corcega to Manati, Puerto Rico in 1884. According to his death certificate his parents were José Franceschi and Estrella Noviti. I have a picture of three older people with a note on the back that says Becani Cap. I believe that is were we are from.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: does anybody know

StephaneEidel — 2012-09-13 12:43:48Z

The Eidel familly arrived in september 1839 in Ajaccio from Soufflenheim in French Alsace. The head of the familly was Antoine born in Gunstett in 1792 from Georges Eidel and Marianne Baumstark. Antoine has an elder brother Bernard who remained in Gunstett. Antoine was married in Soufflenheim to Julian Burger. They had many children born in Soufflenheim. After the death of Julian in 1840 and Antoine in 1841, the surviving children were adopted by the people in Ajaccio. The name of the children were : Pierre (death 1847), Antoine (death 1905), Bernard (death 1904), Georges (death 1905), Joseph (death 1889), Caroline (death 1843)and Xavier (death 1841).

Re: corsica my family is also from their

hanegroni — 2012-08-29 20:36:32Z

Learn the difference between there and their.

Their is a form of the possessive case of they used as an attributive adjective, before a noun: their home; their rights as citizens; their departure for Rome.

There is an adverb which means in or at that place ( opposed to here): She is there now.

Re: Denegre, Joseph. Who were his parents?

cavenezia — 2012-08-26 06:19:39Z

In addition to the Archives in Ajaccio, try the Archives Departmentales for these locales in Haute Corse (2B): Bastia, Canari and Venzolasca

Also, there are two Joseph Denegri's that were naturalized during the same era; maybe related, esp. the one from Sardegna. :)

1 BB/11/109 naturalisation ; DENEGRI Joseph ; Italie ; Italie ; 29 décembre 1815 Nat
2 BB/11/103/2 naturalisation ; DENIGRIS Joseph ; DENEGRI ; Apennins ; Sardaigne ; Italie 31 janvier 1815 Nat

There are more details from here: http://www.archivesnationales.culture.gouv.fr/arn/

also interesting:

many Denegri's ended up in Algeria, though some may be from Italy:
