Dear cousins and friends, the time has come to have a frank conversation about our family website and make a few difficult decisions. Since there has been no interest (or sales) in over a year through our family Shop or Bookstore, I have decided to discontinue both sections of our website. As of January 2024, the Genetti Family Shop and Bookstore will be removed and the products offered will be discontinued (including Family Tree Prints).
This advance notice will give you enough time to purchase Christmas gifts or Family Tree Prints, as well as take advantage of holiday sales offers.
You can find our Genetti Family Shop at: https://genettifamily.com/shop-2/.
The website Bookstore is located at: https://genettifamily.com/shop/
It takes time and energy to maintain both accounts, (the Bookstore is part of Amazon; our family shop is through Redbubble). Originally the stores were added as a means to subsidize annual costs involved in creating, building and hosting our website. Unfortunately, this has not been the case and the small commissions generated from the two online shops have not met research and website expenses.
Since I established the Genetti Family Genealogy Project in 2014 as a source of ancestral information, it has been my personal responsibility to meet all requirements involved in maintaining the website. Researching family history, posting news and updating our ancestral tree are just a few things I do as your webmaster. There are also many costs involved in keeping our website up and running, including: membership at genealogical research sites; an annual fee for hosting a large, public online family tree (Tribal Pages); URL domain renewal fee (GoDaddy); and website hosting fees (WordPress). I had hoped our Bookstore and Family Shop would cover part of these expenses. As this is not the case, I have made the difficult decision to discontinue both stores in order to simplify our website and decrease my responsibilities.
If you have been putting off buying a family tree print, a “Tyrolean” apron or a mug with the Genetti coat-of-arms, now is your last chance to make this purchase and support our family website. Plus take advantage of holiday specials at Redbubble! Right now Redbubble is running a sitewide discount of 40% when you use the coupon code: FEEL THE JOY. I don’t know how long this special will last, so don’t wait!

I’m sorry to hear your news but I certainly understand. I did order my Tyrolean T-shirt tonight and hope to order a few books shortly. While my Tyrolean family name isn’t listed I certainly enjoyed the information. My mother was a Molignoni from Weston. If I remember correctly her sister’s godparents were Genettis from Weston. It’s many years ago so I’m not sure of the names, possibly Lanza and Lucia??? Our family is from Coredo and is still there (https://www.pinetahotels.it/it/) Thank you for all the work you put into your website. Every time I go there I find things I didn’t see before.

Thank you Joseph! Your support is much appreciated. I believe your aunt’s godparents would have been Raffaele and Lucia Genetti. They owned a large beer hall and hotel in Weston. Raffaele and Lucia, who was a Zambotti, were related to me twice and would have been my great-granduncle and aunt. Raffaele was my great-grandfather’s brother and Lucia was my great-grandmother’s sister. Two brothers married two sisters. So their children and grandchildren are my double cousins. Thanks again and I’m so happy that you enjoy our family website.
