  1. Hi there Silv, I feel a bit random commenting on such an old post. I'm working on my family tree and even though it's a common name, I believe you are my 2nd cousin - your father comes up as a DNA match on ancestry. If he has done a DNA test, can you please email me as I would love to ask you some questions (and don't know any other way I can contact you).
    Mille grazie!
