Hi all,

I am researching the "De David" family from Sedico, Belluno, Province
Veneto. The great-grandfather's name was Olivo (or Olivio). He was born in
Sedico on 27.2.1863. Married his first wife Toscana Casagrande (b.
12.07.1862 in Santa Giustina, Belluno/Veneto) on 17.05.1885 and emigrated
with her into Switzerland on 09.02.1897, where she died in Zurich on
16.05.1897.

On 03.03.1899 he married his second wife Maria Giovanna Mezzomo (b.
02.02.1899 in Santa Giustina, Belluno/Veneto) when he was back in Italy.
They both returned to Switzerland on 14.04.1899, where their first son,
Rodolfo Angelo was born on 30.11.1899. Shortly after that, in mid 1901,
Maria Giovanna returned to Italy. Olivo followed her for some months, but
returned back to Zurich in 1902. Emilia Leonilda was born in Italy during
his absence, but in 1903, the family was re-united in Zurich to live there
from then on. 4 more children were born (Oliva Stefania in 1904, Guido
Guiseppe in 1905, Roberto Guistina in 1910 and Silvio Olivio in 1917). Maria
Giovanna died on19.12.1924 in Zurich and Olivo on 09.02.1940. They never
applied for the Swiss citizenship.

This is all I know from the family. Where I am stuck now is, that I only
know the name of Olivo's and Maria Giovanna's parents and nothing else:
Francesco de David and Luigia Stalabbere and
Liberale Guiseppe Mezzomo and Bellus Maria Elisabetta.
I do not know their birthdates or their towns of birth (could only guess
that it could be Sedico and Santa Giustina, Belluno/Veneto).

I would be very thankful and would very much appreciate if anyone could help
me or give me some hints?
Please e-mail to
Thanks so much!
Best regards from Switzerland,
Simone
