Hi. I am English and trying to trace my Italian family. My great grandfather was born in Genoa and was called Augustine Favore or Favori. The family name was changed to Fravigar when they came to England.
Hi JonnySorry - should have said great great grandfather. - I'm Mary Fravigar's granddaughter. I know you've done a lot of research too. I can't remember now where I found the info but it suggested that the name was likely to have been Favori or Favore which was a Genovese name and that the family may have originated from Argentina originally (apparently Favorii is Argentinian). Just thought I'd try here as seem to have reached a dead end. Love to chat to you sometime as always feel like I need to know who we really are :-)Cheryl
