https://trentinogenealogy.com . The surname Pellegrinati was present in Val Giudicarie at least since the early 1500s, and went extinct in the late 1800s. In this podcast, genealogist Lynn Serafinn walks through some of the research techniques she used when trying to make sense of the very confusing parish records for the early Pellegrinati families of Bivedo and Duvredo in the parish of Santa Croce del Bleggio. During the presentation, she talks about two different 'soprannomi' of the early Pellegrinati lines, and translates two important marriage records from 1588 and 1633.

In Val di Sole, just on the border with Val di Non, is the ancient parish of Caldes. Called 'a noble community' by author Alberto Mosca, many of its families are well documented back to the medieval era. But Caldes also has a true 'genealogical treasure' in its parish registry: a collection of family trees of the ancient families of Caldes made by Father Tommaso Bottea in the 19th century.

In this podcast, we will look at these Caldes trees: what families they cover, what the trees contain (and what they don't), how they are organised, and how to use them in your research. We'll then explore some of the surnames of the most ancient families of Caldes, including their historical, linguistic and sometimes geographical origins, as well as the titles of nobility conferred on some of these families.

Many of our Trentino ancestors tended to stay in one place, sometimes for many centuries. But SOME Trentino families really 'got around'! Long before the age of mass immigration in the 19th century, certain families migrated to many different places within the province.

In this podcast, we'll explore the migration of 4 Trentino families, who all have a connection with a village called Fiavé in Val Giudicarie. But the thing is... NONE of them were actually FROM Fiavé.

Which families will I discuss? Well, you'll just have to tune in to find out.
