Comments

Sharon, if you have pre-1500 cert, can you add the Italian Roots template to Columbus and relevant members of his lineage?

---

He's already a notable and I put a public comment there and asked to add the Italian Roots template to his profile. I can't edit it

Thank you Andreas West!

Well is not completly accepted Columbus was italian (exist different theories) and all the descendents of him are Spanish, the the italian root is a little weak (I think only exist a little of records about the possible father, mother and brothers and sisters not more than that)

Cristobal Columbus is one of the biggest misteries in the Spanish Genealogy.

---

His being a citizen of Genoa qualifies him.

---

Ok Michael Maranda! Thank you for the aclaration! Maybe someone can put in references something about the different theories of where is buried or where is from...

---

Those theories are strongly discounted. Provide evidence that suggests there is some validity to them.

---

The primary identity for the time period would be Genovese - it's just held under the umbrella of Italian Roots in a cultural/linguistic sense of shared heritage.

Answer 3

I'm totally interested. I have an ancestor that has a "Fontanarosa" surname, and is from Chiavari, just as the mother of Colombus.
