Gary was the great-grandson of Costantino (also known as August) and Rosa Genetti. Costantino was born in Castelfondo, Tyrol in 1841 and immigrated to the United States with Rosa in 1868. They were the first members of the extensive Castelfondo Genetti family to leave their village and come to America. The couple, along with Costantino’s brothers and sisters, are considered the founding ancestors of the Illinois branch of the Genetti family.

Condolances. I m glad the Genetti name lives on. When I was a kid I wanted so badly to change my last name from Franklin to Wilshire, my mother’s surname, of course. Then my initials would have been P. A. W. Besides Franklin seemed so plain vanilla. Wilshire sounded rather regal! But one didn’t do such things in those days. It would have been shameful plus my father’s feelings would be hurt. To this day I wish I had done it, however!

Hi Pat – I believe Gary was your third cousin, sharing 2nd great-grandparents with you: Cipriano and Cattarina Genetti.
Sorry for your loss, Louise.

It saddens me that my grandpa died, and I found out almost 2 years later. I might not have the surname Genetti, but I am proud to have known him 28 years of my life he will be forever missed and RIP.
