Farewell to Conrad

We say goodbye to our cousin Conrad George Reich who passed away on April 9th. Conrad was the son of Lewis Joseph Reich (1908-2003) and Elizabeth Catherine Zambotti (1912-1995). He was the grandson of Pietro Zambotti (1881-1966) and Ottilia Genetti (1890-1985).

Conrad was a great friend of our family website, sharing many photos and interesting memorabilia. You can find his many contributions sprinkled throughout the pages of The Genetti Family Genealogy Project. Since the beginning of this website way back in 2014, Conrad emailed me every few months with a family tidbit he found amongst his files. It was always a surprise to open his emails. Sometimes I received a photo, occasionally it was some program or directory from a by-gone era. Last year I found in my mailbox a complete booklet for Mt. Carmel Church Centennial History 1905-2005. And sometimes Conrad just sent me a question. The last email I received from him was asking the street address for Casa Genetti in Castelfondo because he wanted to find the home on Google Maps streetview.

Farewell Cousin Conrad! I’m sure you will be missed by many.

Conrad’s memorial page has now been published on our website. Click here to read about Conrad George Reich (1938-2025).

      Hi Marti,

      The address for Casa Genetti Lanci: 55 Via Dante Alighieri, Castelfondo. FYI – Lanci is the sopranome for this branch of the Genetti family. It is used as a type of nickname after the surname to distinguish different branches from each other. My ancestors are from the Lanci branch and my great-grandfather was the last person in my immediate family line who owned an apartment in the home. Dating back to about the early 1500’s, the home has been subdivided into five apartments with each owned by a different family. As of my last visit, two Genetti sisters from the Lanci branch (my 3rd cousins, once removed) owned apartments in the home and used them as summer vacation retreats. I’m not sure if the apartments are still owned by their family.
