My father-in-law, Guglielmo Mario Eva, known as William or Bill Eva, was born in San Francisco, California but was raised in Caraglio, Italy where his parents were both born. My husband, Ricahrd, was also born in San Francisco. We understand that if you follow our family back far enough they come from Scotland (hence the number of redheads in the family). Does anyone see any connection to their family? My mother-in-law was also born in Caraglio and her maiden name was Ribero. Another family name was Lerda.
I just received a correspondence from John Eva in Australia who says his family is from Cornwall and the Evas in Cornwall were pirates for the King way back when. Any connection?
