Buschini

[gachurch]

Hello -

I'm looking for any information regarding the Buschini family from Russi. My 3x great-grandfather was Marino Buschini who was born in Russi (near Ravenna) in 1842. He immigrated to England in the 1860s.
I visited Russi last year and found some gravestones with the Buschini name on them in the cemetery. There were also 3 Buschini sisters living in Russi but the one we found would not talk to us.
We visited the civil office in the town and they were going to send us any information that they could find about Marino but we never received anything.
I believe the family may have originated around the Turin region, as there are quite a few Buschini's in that area.

Thank you in advance!

Welcome to the Forum!

From what source did you determine that Marino was born in Russi?

There are some online records for Russi, but they begin in 1866...

Could this be your 3xGGF in the England Marriage Index?

The town office may not have any civil records from before 1866 and Marino was born in 1840. You will probably need to access parish records to research your family tree. There are Napoleonic records for Russi at http://www.antenati.san.beniculturali.i ... enna/Nati/
There is an article on my blog about meeting relatives (and why they won't talk to you).

Thank you both for the information....I apologize for not replying sooner...I forgot I had posted on this site!

Tessa78 - I found the Russi connection for Marino in one of the census documents from London where he had specified that he was born in Russi. In doing further research (and during our trip there) we found other Buschinis, both living and dead so that helped to possibly confirm that he was born in Russi.

Italysearcher - thank you for the link. I'll have to check into it further. One of the 3 sisters living in Russi that we were able to track down did not want to talk to us. Our severe lack of Italian and her lack of English did not help. Her neighbor was trying to be helpful but to no avail. I realize the Italian people are very friendly but do not like to be asked about personal things, especially from strangers. Which is understandable.

We are heading to London this summer to dig into the Buschini roots there. Hopefully we'll uncover something we don't all ready know.

Hi, my husband’s family, also called Buschini, apparently originate from Russi. I wonder if the family is the same, perhaps a brother. The name is Camillo Buschini. He had a son, Amato Bastian Gasberi Buschini born 1847
