Other households have Italian ancestors (Rita Basso's (Guelf) information). Rita welcomes any info. about that branch.

We also know from Diana Dempsey that an American branch in Michigan is descended from a George Montin who emigrated from Austria in 1911 at the age of 29. Any information about "cousins" from this branch should be sent to Diana.

Emily (Sta Barbara) has researched her branch. They are descended from John Peter Montin and his wife Emily who immigrated to the US from Sweden circa 1890. They had three children: Anders (deceased 1975) father of John Barry (step father to Emily and father to Michael Anders (b. 1965), Nicole (1970) and Ashley (1988)). Parker John, aged 2, is the youngest of that branch.
