Gian Vicenzo Gradenigo was the son of Piero Vicenzo Gradenigo, and left Venice around 1750 having killed someone in a duel. His mother was not a Betto nor a Cetto, but Daria Maria Soranzo. I will be at the Marciana soon. 2012-09-01 19:36:03Z gradenigo http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.bizio-20-gradenigo/2.1.1.1/mb.ashx http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.bizio-20-gradenigo/2.1.1/mb.ashx We in Venice are trying the connection between Giovanni (Jean) Gradenigo and the families of Venice. It's not an easy research. The name of the mother of Giovanni was probably Maria Bettio (pronunciation Bettìo with the accent on the "i"). 2002-11-19 11:37:13Z ABizioGrad8071 http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.bizio-20-gradenigo/2.1.1/mb.ashx http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.bizio-20-gradenigo/2.1/mb.ashx Any idea which Gradenigo family Jean Gradenigo belongs to? Jean Gradenigo came to the Pascagoula(Mobile) area, married Marguerite Krebs and had a big family. Eventually they moved to the Opelousas, La. area. Gradenigo eventually became Gradney. Many of us Gradney descendants are still around. 2002-11-01 23:29:15Z http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.bizio-20-gradenigo/2.1/mb.ashx http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.bizio-20-gradenigo/1/mb.ashx Il nome di questa famiglia deriva da due famiglie: Bartolomeo Bizio ha sposato una Maria Gradenigo e molti discendenti portarono il doppio cognome "Bizio Gradenigo" che esiste tuttora. Mi risulta che un componente di questa famiglia (credo che si facesse chiamare solo "Bizio") sia emigrato nell'800 in America. Sto conducendo indagini. 2002-08-30 12:09:37Z GiovanniAndreaBizio http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.bizio-20-gradenigo/1/mb.ashx http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.bizio-20-gradenigo/2/mb.ashx The BICCIO family is original of Custoza (Verona - Italy). Paolo BICCIO had at least a son, Bartolomeo BIZIO. Bartolomeo Bizio came to Venice and married Maria GRADENIGO. In Venice there were two branches of the GRADENIGO family: the branch GRADENIGO of S. Giustina and the branch GRADENIGO of Rio Marin. Maria belonged to the branch of S. Giustina that today alone does not exist more. The GRADENIGO family of the Rio Marin branch still exists. Some descendands of Bartolomeo BIZIO and Maria GRADENIGO carried the double last name BIZIO GRADENIGO. Consequently in Italy there are the families BIZIO, GRADENIGO and BIZIO GRADENIGO. 2002-08-30 12:09:37Z GiovanniAndreaBizio http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.bizio-20-gradenigo/2/mb.ashx
