hi,our name is spelled fasce and our family originated in fascia then for whatever reason maybe to work in genoa ,torriglia was where my great grandfather was born also fasce's from marsano foth on out skirts of genoa,i live in new york state now but my dad was born in pittsfield mass, and his father albany new york and his father was born in torriglia as was his father.interesting that both of our families were from village of fascia and developed different spellings,i must do the dna genaology thing soon myself i bet we are decendants of the normans also as we are blue green and hazel eyes and lite skinned,a few of us have the brown eyed gene and black course hair and red heads as well,thanks for replying......tom fasce

Hi, I am a Fascia and have done a lot of research on the family name.I can tell you their isn't a lot to go on.From what I have found the name fascie is the early spelling of the name fascia.From there the spelling of the name was altered, such as Fascio ,Fasciano,Fassio,etc.Supposedly the name originated from the town of Fascia in northern Italy.I do know that there are 3 distinct areas,in southern Italy where large numbers of Fascia's live.The major areas are around,Foggia,Rome,and Sesto campano(where my relatives are from).I was also part of the National Geographic Geneographic project,where genes are tested for ancient origins.My ancestry is of Norman decent,primarily Scandinavian.It is known that the normans invaded and conquered southern italy about 1000yrs ago.Thought that was interesting.

hi,

Just happened to come across your posting. Fate? A whole family of Fasicano's settled not only in the area of Niagara Falls but also in Toronto. My grandmother and grandfather came to Niagara Falls but my uncle Frank although a child of about 16 was denied entry as he did not speak english. He went on to Toronto where there is presently his decendants. My grandparents are both deceased but they had 4 sons and one daughter all of whom are still living. Any questions please let me know. Take care. Janeanne
