I have heard the same thing with my husbands line. His older brother went to the area
(Tyrol) and said there were tons of Casagranda's--They were also told that
CASAGRANDA--meaning large or grand house was because it was an orphanage and that was just
the name given them??? I know sometimes it is referred to as Italy and sometimes Austria
depending on I guess WHEN you are talking about. My husbands Casagranda line settled in
BUTTE, MT.
