Welcome to the Vecchio Family Website
Upon my retirement a few years ago I found myself with a lot of spare time. After hearing of the passing of the wife of a second cousin and attending her Mass, I found myself at the repast, in the midst of many people I did not know yet who were related to me! I was really touched when individuals told me I looked like their uncle!! And I could say the same thing about various individuals in the room, too!
I hope you find lost relatives as interesting as I do and that you enjoy this ongoing family tree project!
You will also find a page here about Postiglione, Italy. I am listing as much info as I can find about our family homestead.
Please feel free to send me any pictures you would like to see in this website. I can use any help I can get. Thanks!
Carl Botti, son of Marian, daughter of Antonio
Dopo il mio pensionamento, qualche anno fa, mi sono ritrovato con molto tempo libero. Dopo aver saputo della scomparsa della moglie di un cugino di secondo grado e aver assistito alla sua Messa, mi sono ritrovato a cenare, in mezzo a tante persone che ancora non conoscevo e che erano mie parenti! Sono rimasto davvero commosso quando le persone mi hanno detto che assomigliavo a loro zio!! E potrei dire la stessa cosa anche dei vari individui presenti nella stanza! Spero che troverai i parenti scomparsi interessanti quanto me e che ti piaccia questo progetto di albero genealogico in corso!
Qui troverete anche una pagina su Postiglione, Italia. Sto elencando tutte le informazioni che riesco a trovare sulla nostra fattoria di famiglia. Non esitate a inviarmi tutte le foto che vorreste vedere in questo sito.
Posso usare qualsiasi aiuto che posso ottenere.
Grazie! Carlo Botti, figlio di Marian, figlia di Antonio

Postiglione Origins
The origins of the name "Postiglione" are uncertain. We only know that it was a refuge for coastal inhabitants of Paestum during the centuries of Arab incursions along the coast, beginning as early as the 9th century. The town center is medieval, having developed around the Norman castle built in the 11th century.
