I have reconstructed the history of all the families that have lived in Dermulo: INAMA, MENDINI, PRET, CORDINI, MASSENZA, ENDRIZZI, EMER, TAME, ENDRIOCHER, BATTISTI, MELCHIORI, CHISTE, ECCHER, BRIDA. I have compiled a list of the people from Dermulo that have emigrated to America, in Europe or in other Italian.

My father came from Trento in 1958 and I spent almost every summer of my youth in Terres with my uncle (Eduino). I remember walking to the campo sportivo in Flavon every weekend to party and going back in September to pick apples. All told I spent about four years there.

I was intrigued by your site especially the references to Castello di Fiumme from which my Grandmother's (maiden name JURIATTI) family comes from. My grandfather's family (LORENGO) also came from the same region and settled first in Michigan and then to Montana (mining and such).

Hi Sal; When I was privileged to be your #5000th visitor my efforts in finding my Tyrolean ancestors were satisfied. You have been so much help to me, I felt you were God-sent! Now on the 16th day of April, 2000 about 1:00PM I find that I am the 10,000th visitor!!!!

I am very excited to find your information on the PANCHERI line of ancestors. I too have PANCHERI in my blood through my 3rd great grandmother, Maria PANCHERI. Maria was probably born around 1800. She married Bortolo MOCHEN and I have a church record from Dimaro, Italy that shows they had Cattarina MOCHEN in ~1842.

For forty years I have heard of the Val di Non. There has always been a question about the home town of my wife's family. I think your site has zeroed us in on Rallo - one of the towns mentioned by uncles and aunts. Anyway thanks for putting together this website. It has given me encouragement that we may find what we are looking for. You have taken us beyond stories to factual information.

All 4 of my grandparents emigrated from Trentino. MOSER from Faver, FAUSTINI from Pochi, CASAGRANDE from Bedollo, and ALBASINI from Dimaro. My grandfathers came to Colorado to work in the mines in Central City and Black Hawk. I had 2 uncles - surnamed Albasini- who settled in Iron Mountain, Michigan.

I found your site while looking for my grandmother's village, Taio, in the Valle di Non. My father , who is first generation in the U.S. was born in Walsenburg, Colorado. My grandfather Eugenio BENINI, owned two saloons there. We are not sure which town in the Trento area my grandfather came from, but we do know that he and my grandmother had known each other in Italy. They married in the U.S. when my grandmother came here to bring her brother back home to Taio. Her maiden name was Erminina ZADRA.

I can't wait to show my father, Rinaldo FACINELLI, this site. His father, Vittorio Facinelli, emigrated from Revo in the 1920's, later bringing the whole family in the early '30's. I would love to see the Facinelli's from Revo included in this site! Thanks for putting this together!
