Help find my Italian name Florence..? |
Hi.. right.. Many many years ago my Italian ancestors immigrated to scotland. They were from Florence, Italy.
Our italian name is Florence. My ancestors we're re-named Florence because no British folk's could pronounce their real Italian name.. and since they were from Florence, they we're called this. Would there be anyway that I could find what my REAL Italian name is?
I would be greatful for any information on this. Thank you x
Additional Details
Thank you.
Well nobody knows at all what my actualy Italian name is because we have only been known as Florence. Since this is where we are originally from.
We have looked in various places to find it, but no hope. So thank you all very much. |

You need any legal document for an ancestor who lived in Florence, so that way, he/she would have his/her true last name in the document.
Otherwise, it would be very hard.
Or if you know where they were located, visit, and ask... but i do not know if you would come out with something or not. |

Have you tried looking for legal documents (such as birth certificates, marriage certificates etc.)? |

Your family's name could be Firenze which is the italian translation of Florence, maybe the fact that they were from Florence is why they used this translation. I have seen a few sites and there are quite a few Firenze's in Italy but its not a hugely popular name.
This site is in Italian but where there is blue that's where the surname is more popular, which you'll see is around the Tuscan area. Its say there are 909 people according to their data with that surname:
http://cognome.alfemminile.com/w/cognomi/cognome-firenze.html
I found on another site a few of places where there is this surname. They are about 50km from Florence and maybe your family were originally from one of these towns and not quite from the heart of Florence.
Castelfiorentino
Gambassi Terme
Capolona
Doesn't anyone in your family have any information. I could only find sites in italian but not with much info. Hope this little bit has helped! |
