This chart shows seven generations of Alex Pretti’s Trentino ancestors, back to his 5x great-grandparents. I researched this using the registers for several Trentino parishes, including Cagnò, Revò, Tregiovo, and Romeno, although several other parishes appear in his tree further back in time than what is shown in this chart.
I created this chart with the intention of sharing it with the Trentini community, so all of you can compare this information with your own family trees, as I know many of you will discover some type of cousin connection with Alex and his family. Any common ancestors between you and those on this chart mean that you and Alex are at least sixth cousins or closer.

DETAILS:
1. Please note that the original spelling of the surname in Trentino is PRETI (with a single T).
2. With respect to the family’s privacy, I have not included the names of his (American-born) parents or grandparents. In the interest of space, I have also not included the names of siblings of his ancestors, although I have researched them.
3. The chart shows names, dates, and places of all identified births, marriages, and deaths. Some dates (especially death dates) are estimates based on references in other records.
4. Note that I am using the modern nomenclature for the place names, so you can find them on a present-day map. The Province of Trento (a.k.a. Trentino) was not part of Italy until 1918. It was part of the Austrian and Austro-Hungarian Empires throughout the 19th century, and prior to that it was an autonomous principality headed by the Prince-Bishops of Trento, and under the greater dominion of the Holy Roman Empire.
