Hi Greg, I am trying to put together the genealogy of all the Giannini's of Roseto Valfortore. I think that there were several brothers early on who fathered (grandfathered, etc.) a few different lines. I can trace back to Donato Giannini who was married in 1817, but I don't have his DOB. I am currently thinking that his father was Michele or Giuseppe.
My branch of the Giannini's came to USA about 1885 (I still am searching for entry info) and settled in Roseto, PA. They were in NJ by 1912.
Ironically, when my gr-grandfather, Donato Giannini, arrived, at some point, it became Jiannine, my maiden name.
I know they all had to spring from some original Giannini and where he came from ???????????????
