STEWARD_GLINNI

NEW CONNECTION MADE WITH GLINNI FAMILY AND SCOTLAND

NOVEMBRE 2009

STEWART-STEWARD The most famous "occupational" name in Scotland, the name is derived from the office of steward (from Old English "stig" meaning house and "weard" meaning keeper).

In Acerenza we found a decendant of the Steward Family! The tombstones of the fallen soldiers from WWI clearly revealed the name. The family went extinct in Basilicata, and I was able to find traces of them in Mazzara del Vallo, the place where in 1636, the Archbishop of Acerenza Mons, Spinola transferred to---the same archbishop that welcomed my family...

Abbiamo trovato ad Acerenza un discendente degli Stuard! Sguardo in Italiano. La lapide dei caduti della prima guerra mondiale riporta chiaro il mone. La famiglia si è estinta in Basilicata , ma quale ho trovato traccie a Mazzara del Vallo , dove nel 1636 si trasferÏ l’Arcivescovo di Acerenza , Mons. Spinola, lo stesso che accolse la mia famiglia... Raffaello Glinni
