Happy August, Friend
Lynn Serafinn from Trentino Genealogy here. I hope all is well with you. Here in England, we've FINALLY had some proper summer days (it's been very hot and muggy!). I've been mostly indoors working on an eBook (which I'll tell you about in a minute), but I plan to spend some time out in the sunshine over the weekend. | I'm writing today to announce that I've FINALLY finished a research project I've been working on for the past 2 years! Today, I've published it as an eBook on my website. it's called:
| | You can READ about and BUY the book at this link: This is is a SUBSTANTIAL study, that ended up being too large for the blog. It is a 79-page eBook in Letter size (74-page in A4 size) downloadable, printable PDF, clickable table of contents, 40 colour images, genealogy charts, etc., footnotes, extensive appendix of pergamene (legal parchments), and resource list.
This project has been a labour of love. It represents over 2 years’ worth of research, study, analysis, writing, and rewriting. It traces the Benassuti back to the original patriarch — Benassuto of Cles — who lived in the latter half of the 1300s, in the post-Black Death era. Tracing the early family history via means of notary documents and diplomas of nobility, and connecting these with later parish records, I have done my best to piece together a viable genealogical model of the Benasutti, from their origins to the present era. I have also addressed many of the misconceptions of past research, and have included some fascinating glimpses into the lives and personalities of many of the Benassuti through the centuries, and the history of their times. The finished work is significantly longer and contains many more images than my other surname studies, so I really cannot publish as a blog article (as it would probably crash your browser!). Thus, to give you a taste of what the eBook is about, below I’ve shared:
The INTRODUCTION, entitled ‘Why Study the Benassuti’ The TABLE OF CONTENTS, which shows you all the chapters and subheadings covered in the book. The TABLE OF IMAGES (40 in total), to give you an idea of the visual content of the book.
OR, you can watch this 6-minute You-Tube video if you prefer not to read the intro:
| | | | I'm so sorry that I won't be able to meet many of you at the ITTONA conference in September. My ongoing health issues are preventing me from travelling anywhere. HOWEVER... I am now taking client bookings for OCTOBER 2024. Then, we can set up a free 30-minute chat to discuss your project. | OK, that's it for now. I've got so many other articles I am trying to finish this year, including extended studies on the Melchiori, Visintainer, Malanotti, and others. I will keep you posted. Until next time, please stay well, and I wish you great success and joy in all your genealogy research.
