lavacchini 1854
I am trying to locate the birthplace of my grandfather, Oreste Lavacchini, born Aug. 27, 1851 in a Tuscan mountain village.
He left there, married Octavia Luisa Talini and moved to Pisa. They had a son, Vittorio (born March 1881)in Pisa and two daughters, Maria (born 1883) and Rosalia (born Oct. 19, 1895) before emigrating to the U.S. in 1886.
I have found that 93 % of today's Lavacchini families live in the Sieve River area,( Mugello valley) principally around Bordo San Lorenzo. But no birth records were found in the Florence archives. Any suggestions? or leads?
