Why I created this Web site!

For years we thought we were the only people in the world with this name. My grandfather Luigi came to this country some time in the 1890s. We were told he was an orphan and assumed there were no relatives left behind. Recently through the power of the internet I've been discovering a growing number of  potential "cousins". Recently I was contacted by the Australian "cousins" and we started wondering if we were somehow connected.

There are no members of my family still living that can be of any help in tracing my grandfathers roots. So I would very much like to borrow the memories of other Barbuscios

 About a year ago I received an add from a company that said it was 
publishing "The New World Book of Barbuscios". 

My first reaction was that this would be a very short book. After the third solicitation my curiosity got the best of me and I decided to order a copy. To my surprise there were a lot more Barbuscios than I imagined. According to the book there are 118 Barbuscio households throughout the world:

    • Italy 96
    • United States 15
    • Canada 4
    • Australia 3 (They were right)
    • Germany 1

They estimated the number of Barbuscio people to be:

    • Italy 299
    • United States 44
    • Canada 13
    • Australia 9 (They're up to 13 now.)
    • Germany 3

What I hope to do

I would like us to share our family trees with each other and maybe even connect the links between trees. There are several Luigi/Louis households listed here and Italian naming customs would imply some common ancestry. When you look at the list you'll see other first names that repeat again and again.

Why not build a family tree using the information you can put together from your own and living relatives recollections. Free software is available from Geni.com, or Ancestry.com or from the Morman's FamilySearch web site (click here). If you start a tree and you would like to send it to the E-mail address above I will post a link on this web site so others can see if they have links.
