We get letters all the time from ecstatic genealogists who broke through their brick walls in <\/strong><\/span>GenealogyBank<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. Grateful letters that say – “Wow – I finally found him” in <\/strong><\/span>GenealogyBank<\/strong><\/span><\/a> … thank you, thank you.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Tonight I received a “Wow – I finally found him” note from Jane Giavelli Lauhon. She wrote:<\/p>\n

Thank you so much for your hard work and dedication by maintaining your website. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n
Since 1980 (when I began my genealogy search) I have been trying to find a connection to Italy for my Dad’s Giavelli side.<\/strong> <\/span><\/em><\/div>\n
\n

Our Giavelli ancestor’s have been a huge, huge challenge because they were affiliated with The Ravel’s (a circus group from France). I have been researching Ravel’s hoping to find information about my 2nd great grandfather, Leon Giavelli and his wife, Harriet Wells. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/span>Today I was finally able to find the connection and am very, very happy.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I knew this family originated in Italy; I just didn’t know it\"Southern<\/span><\/a> until today when one of your articles connected us to Giavelli’s in Italy. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

My mother’s father, Guissepe Manno, is Italian and I have been wondering how much Italian ancestry I have. Now I can say I am 1\/2 Italian!<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you again and I am going to keep searching your site to see what other goldmine’s I can find.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,
