Midlothian / Re: Butti family 1796

Hi Josie,

I would love to have details of how you found Alexander Butti's date and place of birth in Italy.

My sister, Vicky, who speaks some Italian, is going to the Lake Como area of Italy in the next couple of months to track down Buttis (we're descended from Alexander's brother, Luigi Giuseppe).  It would be great to have any info on Alexander's dates, etc. before she goes.

Thanks and best wishes,

Sarah

Hi Fiona,

Great to hear from you.  We found a couple of wills online but hadn't been through any local papers so it was great to hear a bit more about the Buttis.

I thought Louis Joseph was Luigi Guiseppe.  (Died 26 SEP 1868, South Leith, Midlothian, Scotland.)Does that tie up with what you have?

Sarah  :)

I'm a descendant of Louis Guiseppe BUTTI and recently spent a weekend in Edinburgh.  We discovered a curbstone outside the address of the family shop (7 Queen Street) with the name BUTTI carved into it.  The shop/house has been stripped inside and turned into open-plan offices.

I've just put our family tree WATSON onto Ancestry.co.uk.

Also very interested in finding out details of L G Butti's arrival in Britain...
