Dear TLaterza45,
I believe if you read my report (posted at
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/74900551/NOTES_ABOUT_THE_FAMILY_OF_GI...)
and if you also read a response I have provided to the owner of one of the Casagrande
family trees (posted at
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/74900551/20130712-1702_Ehat_to_tcasag...), you
will be able to see that the oral history is correct: your great grandmother was placed in
an Ospizio (orphanage) in Genoa after her birth there. She was born in about 1834 or 1835.
Her name, however, was not "Rosa Casagrande" but was instead Anastasia
Casagrande. (Rosa was her daughter, b. 12 Jan 1861 in Tasso in the community of Lumarzo,
where her mother and father were living after they had been placed there, following their
own respective preliminary placements in the orphanages, hers in Genoa and his in a
yet-unknown place, though probably Genoa.) It was Anastasia Casagrande and Lorenzo
Casagrande w!
ho were married to one another. Read more about the family in the report and in the
response.
