Welcome to the Riva – Alaria Connections. This blog is an attempt to preserve family history from my father's side and to share it with others who might be interested in following our ancestors over the past hundred plus years.

There are three ways to find your way around this blog. 1) Under 'Family History' (right hand column) you'll find links that are arranged in chronological order of when events happened in the family including documents, photos and other research found. 2) The 'Blog Archives' is a list of blog entries organized in their posted order. 3) 'Labels' are links to blog entries that include some mention of the key words listed. My research has gone as far as I'll probably take it but if anyone reading this has something to add, I'd be delighted if you'd leave it in a comment. Or to just contact me just leave a comment at the end of any blog entry and I promise not to publish your e-mail address. ©

Update

My niece had a wonderful time in Italy last summer and she was able to find Case Riva to visit. She met a woman there and showed her a photo of my grandfather and the women thought he looked just like her grandfather. The best they could figure out is that her line and our line have common ancestors. One day I'd like to post the photos of Case Riva here but we couldn't figure out, yet, how to get them off her new iPod and on to my computer. It's a tiny place.

Update

I'm so excited! One of my relatives is going to Italy this summer, to the exact location of our ancestors. Hopefully, she'll be able to find more information to take our family tree back even farther.
