Latest Rossura Parish Registers from
1661 are currently being transcribed and cross referenced against family books that exist for the village. The process is very slow as the documents are difficult to read.
Rossura is situated between Faido and Calpiogna/Campello and when
Fontanedo was abandoned some families moved to Rossura whilst others
went to Campello. The data is being merged into the main
Diviani database and a copy of the transcript has already been lodged with L’Archivio
Cantonale, The Comune of Rossura and the Society of Genealogists in
London. There
appears to be a derivative of the name of Diviani in Rossura, in the
early registers the name is shown as Diviani but then changes to Diani.
All incidences of Diani are also being researched and recorded. This
project will complete many families and the descendancy for some of the
females of the Diviani and Brentini families who married men from the
Rossura parish. | Transcripts January 2014 Transcripts of family information for Calpiogna, Faido, Mairengo, Rossura, Chigiogna & Calonico started.
