Hi there,
Many thanks for that, very interesting and I will get in touch with the tree owner just in case.
Although there must be a link somewhere I think it must be further back. I don't recollect French relatives ever being mentioned either.
My mother Giuseppina was born in 1916, the youngest of 4 to Giovanni Deideri and Margherita Savio just north of Torino.
They died there but she emigrated to Britain after the war.
There seems to be so few records online.
You have re energised me though so thank you!
