Hi Caroline ...thank you for your reply, so sorry about the delay ...I rarely check this site, having found so much information elsewhwere about the family. Yes... we are related... so happy to meet you. Your grandfather (Vittorio-Victor) and my grandfather (Leopoldo-Poldo) were brothers. My father, Olinto (Tony), was named after our grandfathers' eldest brother, Olinto. You are probably aware, I am in touch with your cousin, Arnold Barnes and have been sharing my research with him ...he has copies of all the records (Italian, Scottish, American) and I am in the process of mailing more. Met with approximately 30 Scottish family members in July and am gradually establishing connections with all the branches (4 out of 8 so far). Have just set up a (closed) family Facebook group to help everyone keep in touch... Barga Serafini Family - Descendants of Antonio and Carlotta (Marchi) Serafini. Elizabeth
