United States Welcome to my web site, and thank you for visiting. My name is Cindy Balbi Oliver and my Balbi ancestry follows. My paternal grandparents, Zefferino Balbi, born in 1879 and Florinda Tegaldo, born in 1884 immigrated to the San Francisco, California area in the early 1900's from Roccaforte and Corti, located 50 miles north of Genoa, Italy. My Balbi family tree begins in 1545 in Ronco Scrivia. Through the participation of my cousin Gary Balbi in the Balbi Family DNA Project, my Balbi family's DNA is listed in the DNA results page of this web site. My other family surnames include: Tegaldo, Cavo, Risotto, Silicani, Inches and Smith. My email address is: cboliver@msn.com. Gary Balbi and his sister Marilyn's grandfather, Antonio Balbi was born in 1886 in Pagliaro, located 48 miles north of Genoa. Around 1900, his grandfather immigrated to Truckee, California and subsequently relocated to Stockton, California. Through genealogy research it was discovered that Gary, Marilyn and Cindy Balbi Oliver are cousins, by virtue of their common ancestor, Jo Baptista Balbi (1643 - 1729) whose family resided in Ronco Scrivia at that time. In 2006 Gary participated in the Balbi Family DNA Project to determine genetic relatedness with other Balbi families. Sadly, Gary passed on in June, 2007. The family of Ed, Harve and Dave Balbi live in the U. S. Their grandfather, Frank Joseph Balbi was born in Genoa, Italy in 1854 and his parents were born in France. Frank immigrated to the United States. His son, Frank Edward Balbi, who was Harve, Ed, and Dave's father, was born in 1892 in Nevada; he married Mabel Welhouser. Sadly, Ed and Dave passed away in 2006. On their behalf and behalf of his Balbi family, Harve participated in the Balbi Family DNA project. Results of the DNA test revealed that Harve's Balbi branch, Cindy Balbi Oliver's branch (first listing), and the branch of Donald Balbi, Clare Balbi and Eileen Balbi Swingle (listing below) are related.
