I am surpirised to find out as much as I did from this web site. So, I thought I would add what I know and perhaps it might make a link somewhere.
My grand father's name was James Eugene and he came from Vulcava (Trento) area ( 25 km from Trento) and he had several brothers. We are uncertain of the year he was born and when he came to the US. I know of one brother named Primo, but dont know anything further. They settled in Victor Colorado. James was married prior to my grandmother (Clara). I am uncertain of her name. She died in the great influenza epidemic but I think she came from the same area as James in Italy, and she is buried in a cemetery in Cripple Creek Colorado.
Does any of this strike a bell with anyone? I have not been to that part of Italy but plan to go. I appreciate any comments.
Thanks, Mary Eccher

Hi, I'm italian guy, and I leave in Trento. My great-grandmother 's name was Maria Casagranda (Date born: 1895-May-26 in Bedollo,Trento-Italy; died: 1925-April-15 in Denver-Colorado). She was married for the second time with Severino Eccher. They left Italy, their country VALCAVA (VAL-CAVA:means Hollow Valley or Valley of the Quarry), around 1918/1919 destination Denver, Colorado. I found your message and your name looking for informations about my great-grandmother. She was called Mary Eccher. She died very young, but certainly she got sons bonrned in Colorado. Maybe she died in childbirth. She left in Italy other 3 sons:
Adelina (mother of my mother), Silvia, Vigilio (Partisan killed in 1945 by nazi army).
I hope these poor informations could be useful.
Ciao!

Thanks for sending me your message Dennis, I appreciate it.
I am doing some research on my end, as the names, places and similarities are too coincidental.
I spoke to my father, and my grandfather's first wife's name was GiGi and she died in the flu empidemic late 1918/1919. The name Casagrande and coming from Valcava, is too weird not to have some connection.
I will research more and get back to you.
Thanks, again........Mary Eccher

Hi: I just got your message. I have not been to Valcava, but I have conversed with the office of tourism in Trento (which is about 25 km from Valcava) and they stated that the best way to search for relatives is to go to the local church and look in their registry. You may already know that, but I thought I would respond to your email. Good luck?
