Hi,My sister & I are travelling to Monno, Brescia,Italy at the end of May. Our great grandfather, arrived in Australia in 1881. We have made contact with the local Mayor's office, who has provided us with his Paternal family tree & discovered he was married. We had no idea he was previously married, as Australian records & family stories indicate he was single when he arrived. We don't know what happened regarding his marriage in Italy. We have also made contact with the Monno community via their Facebook page. It will be exciting to visit & meet some distant cousins.
