Genoa (Genova) Italy
« on: Saturday 13 June 20 11:00 BST (UK) »
Hello,

My husband has traced some of his ancestors back to Genoa, Italy. Several of them immigrated to Gibraltar in the 1700's.
He has found records on Family Search which states they came from "Versiersi", Genova (or similar - spelt a couple of different ways on different records). We cannot locate a town in Genoa with this name. Does anyone have any ideas about how we would find out where it is and what it might be called now? We are hoping to get over there next year (we are Australia) and visit.

Many thanks,

Loz
