Because Livorno and Lucca are less than 100 miles away, and families here have been around so many centuries, it is likely that we are distantly related, but it could be 800 years distant! Even here where we are staying, we know five different Seghieris who are neighbors but they don't actually know any more how they are related, and some of them live in houses that are even attached to each other. They are friends and they are cousins, but it not important enough for them to dig into the centuries old church records to find out how they are cousins.Paul and Lucy Spadonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18320762457158246716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911448537861141728.post-70373200161658608652012-03-20T08:19:55.771-07:002012-03-20T08:19:55.771-07:00Any relations in Livorno?

However, as you can see, families tended to use the same names over and again, skipping one generation and then using the name of the grandfather for the grandson. Do you know where your ancestors come from and when? If they came from this area around Lucca and Montecarlo, we probably are related. In fact, the older people in my family remember that my grandmother, Anita Seghieri (1883-1941), once took a trip to California (with daughter Clara) to visit relatives. If you can send me more information about your family origins, I can better see if and how we are related, and then I would be able to send you lots of info.Paul and Lucy Spadonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18320762457158246716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7911448537861141728.post-85925296893016278942011-04-06T21:29:50.380-07:002011-04-06T21:29:50.380-07:00I am a Seghieri...living in California..i am relat...I am a Seghieri...living in California..i am related to a giuseppe..great great I think..i wonder if we're related?
