In this article, I show how a branch of the Dalfior family of Bivedo in the 1500s became the Troggio family in neighbouring Larido.

We'll explore:

• Bleggio: Geographic Location and Place Names (including some very useful maps)

• Linguistic Roots of the Surnames Dalfior and Troggio

• The Early Dalfior in Bivedo

• Earliest References to the ‘Trogio’

• The Evolution into their Present-Day Surnames

• My Thoughts on How the Two Families Were Connected

• The Dalfior and Troggio in Later Centuries

I hope you like this one! These are some of my OWN ancestors, and I feel very privileged and excited to write about them.
