The origin of Bertolin family

This Blog has the objective of collect informations about the Bertolin family’s history.

Identify the origins and register the history of these men and women that left Italy to begin a new life in America.

More than 130 years ago the family of Lorenzo Bertolin and Maria Magdalena Moresco arrived in Brazil. Their descendants spread over the whole country, that’s why we can easily find the name Bertolin in all regions of Brazil. We don’t know if all of the Bertolins belong to the same family, but maybe, with the internet and tools like this blog we can study and learn about our history or even approximate people.

The history of my family

Patriarchs:

Lorenzo Bertolin and his wife Maria Magdalena Moresco are the patriarchs that came from Italy to Brazil. They got married in Santa Maria Assunta Church in the city of Maróstica – Vicenza in 1854.

In December 31^st of 1877 they embarked in the ship Isabela and left Genoa bound for Brazil. In 26th January of 1878 they arrived in Rio de Janeiro. After that, they went to Dona Isabel colony in Rio grande do sul where installed themselves. Nowadays the colony Dona Isabel is called Bento Gonçalves. With them also came their children. Maria, Stella, Orázio, Luigia, Vittória e Alexandre. Maria was the oldest with 18 years old and Alexandre the youngest with 7 years old.

This is the church Santa Maria Assunta in Marostica City, Vicenza, Italy. Where my great-grandfather Orazio Giuseppe Bertolin was baptized in 1863.
