Having a family reunion
this month has prompted me to make some charts to show how various branches of
the Spadoni and Seghieri families are connected. While I’ve shared this with individuals before, it occurred to me that now might be a good
time to post this information online to make it available to a broader
audience.
The charts don’t include
all contemporary families, for the simple reason that I would have run out of
space, but it shouldn’t be hard for most people to figure out how they fit in
from what I’ve provided. For example, for the Seghieri family that settled in
California, under Egidio Seghieri, who moved to the United States in 1905, I
didn’t have room to include all of his children, so I followed the line of
Tristano and then chose to include Donald, knowing that his brothers and
cousins could easily figure out where they fit in. For my own line, I include
my dad and myself, knowing that all my Gig Harbor Spadoni and Seghieri cousins understand
how their families fit under our shared grandparents or great grandparents.
I had to make similar
decisions for other lines as well to save space, and I hope this doesn’t cause
anyone to feel slighted. Also, there are many other lines in both families that I didn’t include in the charts because the connections are considerably more distant. The complete family tree is included on my
sister-in-law Rosemary’s Ancestry.com website. If you are related and politely request
permission to view this extensive database, I’m sure she will be happy to grant viewing access. She has delegated the Italian branches of the family to my care, and I
hope to add much more information and photos in the weeks to come from information gained at the reunion. Please take a look at these charts, and then feel free
to email me with questions or additions or send me a Facebook friend request.
