| Rossura Parish Registers from 1661 are currently being transcribed and entered into a new database for the village. Currently there are 2000 entries but 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. When transcription is complete the database will be merged into the main Diviani database and a copy of the transcript 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. |
