Hi it has been a long time since i have been on here because of ill health covid and other complications.

l know this is not a new subject but cannot remember how to navigate site.

l would just like to inform you that after many years and lots of help from the people on Roots especially Steve 62 l found the birth place of my Gt Grandfather Francesco Travi 1854-1906.

He came from Domaso in Italy north end of Lake Como and my me my husband and my sister went there last week.

We also met up with descendants of Francesco they are descended from Francesco Fathers brother.

We had a lovely meal at their restaurant and winery so happy days and we spoke for many hours and even tho they did not know of Francesco as many of the family went to America and further afield.

They told us that his family were business men and affluent at that time so we decided he must have had a row with his family and went on a trip with his friends and never returned.We spent the next couple of days in Domaso in the cemetery and church, and we will be returning.

So once again thankyou for all your help there is only one mystery which we cannot finalise is why we cannot find the births of my grandfather Francis 1877 and his brother Charles 1879 all other children found but l will keep trying.

l am one happy lady THANKYOU.

He was not the informant her brother was who was also the informant on their mothers death cert in 1977 also the same addresses , this was the address l had written to hopeing for information but at least l now know it was the right address and family .

thankyou

update on Dorothy May Travi, thankyou Monical l did send for that Death Cert and the Name Trair is actually on cert but everything else on the cert matches research l have done , l am so pleased l have been following the right family and also had match DNA for Irene her 2nd great-aunts line distant but the right family had taken a risk on following this family as had very little to go on and guess work.
The thing that amazes me is that the actual death cert has the wrong name and surely Henry Travi must have shown this to prove he was a widower very strange. Dorothy did die in Severalls Hospital which was a mental hospital at the time but no longer there suprise suprise a housing estate. The good thing is death described amongst other things Schizophrenia so not Irene fault. We are now going to look for burial and my niece has just moved to Finchingfield and has spoken to the priest who said he would look it up for her once we have death cert. I also wrote to last known address of mother some weeks ago but no reply sae enclosed and return address on envelope but nothing as yet , but thank you all once again and will keep you updated .

Thank you all for your replies most l already have but Monical thankyou that is the birth l have but most of all that death really does look like to right one d.o.b and age wished l had asked you before would have saved a lot of time and money sending for cert today , l just want to give Irene some closure.
Thank you so much will let you know if you have cracked it.
