Translation of Great Great Grandfather

[maple62]

I know these translations:-

Father - Padre
Grandfather - Nonno
Gt Grandfather - Bisnonno

But does anyone know the translation of ggGrandfather & gggGrandfather?

Thanks in advance

Father - Padre
Grandfather - Nonno
Great Grandfather - Bisnonno
Great Great Grandfather - Trisavolo
Great Great Great Grandfather - bisarcavolo or quartavolo (but it's very rare the word quadrisavolo)

Does anyone have a suggestion for GGGG grandfather or GGGGG grandfather?

I think that quinquisavolo will work for GGGG grandfather, but perhaps there is a more common word.

I have no clue for GGGGG grandfather, however!

Thanks in advance.

Neither does "quartavolo" for 4th gr. grandfather

More lucky than great, I think!

I am probably at the end of the line with my 5G grandfather, but I did find the name of my 6G grandmother (born 1683) in the catasto onciaro.

I did a little Googling, and I found this:

http://www.cerromaggiore.org/dbdocs/7_p ... tuaria.pdf

which lists the following relationships

1. I genitori
2. L'avo e l'ava (i nonni)
3. Il bisavolo o la bisavola (i bisnonni)
4. Il trisavolo o la trisavola (i trisavi)
5. Il quartavolo o la quartavola
6. Il quintavolo o la quintavola

Plus, I found one reference (in an Italian family tree) for "sestavolo" for 5G grandfather.

Extrapolating from that, I'll call my 6G grandmother Maria Simeone "la settimavola" unless someone objects!
