    Default Hi from the Alps

    Hi, as you noticed from my profile, history (especially contemporary and ancient) is one of my passions.

    For my ethnic background, I'm 50% French (I include French Switzerland, Val d'Aosta and French Savoy), 50% South Italian (with 37,5% Calabria from inland Cosenza, Sila and 12,5% Apulian from Alberobello, Bari).

    Hello and Welcome from Armenian Bishop. While my mom's folks were Armenian, I too can trace ancestry from the Alps (from my dad). In my case, my dad's father was Swiss-German.

    MyHeritage, AncestryDNA and 23andMe all gave me a high Italian Component, despite that I don't know of any Italian relatives. Here they are: An 18.7% Italian component and 0.9% Sardinian Component from the 23andMe evaluation. A 25% Italian component from the AncestryDNA evaluation. And, a 37.3% Italian component from the MyHeritageDNA evaluation.

    That very high indeed, your father has definitively some ancestors that came in Switzerland from Italy.

    Mon arrière grand-père paternel était un ferrailleur valdotain mais je ne saurais dire d'où il venait, par contre mon père avait trouvé un parent dans la commune d'Introd.

    La commune d'Introd se situe à l'embouchure du Valsavarenche et du Val de Rhêmes, et marque la limite du parc national du Grand Paradis.
