My dad was born in Sacramento in 1911 and has lived in the area ever since. His parents came to California around 1906.

What type of information are you looking for and for what purpose.

My second cousin in California is son of Garald Ghelfi, who lives in Trabuco Canyon, CA.
I wonder if you related to him?

Hello Pete,

It was a year, apparently, before I found out that you had posted to this geneology website after I had posted. I believe we're cousins - although I'm not sure the exact level. My grandmother is Della. Is your father her cousin?

Take care,
Chris

PS - I'm currently living in Davis, CA. Where are you?

?

I'm not sure but I think we went to school together. That is if you are between 30-32 years old.

Shasta high, Redding California?

Just curious.

bonjour,
je m'appelle Madlen Ghelfi, je suis née et j'habite à Paris.
Mon père, Alfredo Ghelfi est né à Corvarola, près de La spezia. Son père : Giovanni Ghelfi a eu trois fils d'un premier mariage; ils sont partis en Californie. D'un second mariage, il a eu Enrico, Isola, Alfredo (mon père) et Emilio. Ils sont à présent tous décédés, mais leurs enfants à part moi, vivent en Italie. La maison des ancêtres est située exactement à Corvarola, près de Bagnone (à côté de La spezia). Elio, le fils d'Enrico, y habite toujours; il a à présent 78 ans, et aimerait bien avoir des nouvelles de ses cousins californiens (et moi aussi...). voici mon e-mail : madlen@club-internet.fr
A bientôt peut-être, cousins et cousines !!!

hello
I was born and still live in Paris. My father Alfredo Ghelfi was born in Corvarola near La Spezia (Italy) in 1900.
His father Giovanni Ghelfi had three children from a first marriage. all of three went to California about 1910 ? From a second marriage he had four children, now all dead, but their children, except me, are living in Italy.
The family's house, where all were born, is in a little village named CORVAROLA, near La spezia. Elio, my cousin is still living there. He is now 80 old, and he would be very happy to know about his californian cousins, and me too ... my e-mail is: madlen@club-internet.fr
I will be very glad to receive news Merci ! et peut-être à bientôt
madlen Ghelfi

My grandfather was Pietro Ghelfi and this may be the same family! He went to California around 1906 or so and I think he had brothers as well. The family in Italy lived in Tuscany. He left Italy shortly after his father remarried. If you want to contact me, please feel free to do so.
