Joe:

Not sure if you still check this website. If you do, could you touch base with me at paultoffanello@gmail.com - this is my new email address.
I have just retired from my position as Director of Education from the Catholic school board in our northeast region of the province of ONtario. I am planning a trip across the states with the intention of heading to Phoenix, LOs Angeles, and north to Vancouver (where my two older dauthers live)and I thought I might swing by, if you were amenable, and visit with the Toffanello family in Chicago.
If you are open to the idea, Joe, I would be glad to see you and we could compare family notes.
Let me know if this works. If so, I might need driving instructions and names of a hotel/motel/bed&breakfast where I will park myself for a day and a night.
Hope this works for you. Would love to meet you and the family.
Be in touch either way.
Paul

Surprise, I found you, but I am not a Toffanello.

Information on Antonio toffanello

2005-01-15 03:54:04Z

Hello, everybody. I´m a Toffanello living in Brazil.
I have been trying to learn more about ANTONIO TOFFANELLO who left Cavarzere, Venetia, in 1891. He was born in Cona, in 1860. He married Elisabetta Munari in Cavarzere, in 1888.
If you ever heard you father/grandfather/bisnonno say a thing about this man, please e-mail me back. It´s very important to me. It´s for my italian citizenship process.

I wish all Toffanellos a Happy 2005.

Grazie!

OK

That would be kind of difficult.
He died about 10 years ago at age 81.
A lady from Canada posted a reply indicating that her grandpa Dominic Toffanello married in Cnaada a lady by the last name of Baratto...any connection?

Ciao.

P.S. My dad's name was also Domenico (Dominic in the States). He died about 10 years ago in Italy. He was 81.

Just saw your ad.
There's a guy from France who claims he did geneology work back to 1750 about the Toffanello name in San Zenone.
I posted a note asking whether he would be willing to share the info. Good to know there are some of us in Canada. Coming back from Italy in 1974, I first studied in Toronto for three years, then worked in Edmonton and Sarnia.

Thanks for replying.

That's great!
Would you be willing to share the results of your research?
I would be more than willing to pay for any mailing expenses of any material you can send me.

Thanks.

Hi Mr. Zonta,

I completely forgot that I posted the message on 'Ancestry.com'.
Thank you for replying.
As I mentioned, my father was from Stroppari, muncipality of Tezze sul Brenta. My mother (still living) is from Cittadella (Padova). She now lives in Cusinati (miinucipality of Rosa'), about 3 miles north of Cittadella and 2 miles NE of Stroppari and 5 miles south of Bassano del Grappa. I have a sister and two brothers still living there (the sister and one brother were born here in the States like myself). I'm single and I am a full-time probation officer in the circuit court of Cook County (that's the county where Chicago and surrounding suburbs are located).

Zonta is a very common last name in northern (especially nel Veneto) Italy.
I do not know these people.
I will send your e-mail home to Italy and see whether my mother knows anything.
As far as your half brother is concerned, try doing a phone search on a phone directory web site (switchboard.com) or access Italy's Telecom site.

Good luck.

Hope to hear from you.

Joe

Hi Joe
My grandfather Domenic Toffanello immigrated to Canada in the 40's and resided in a small town in Northwestern Ontario called Red Lake. He married a Baratto. They had 3 sons and I am the daughter of the middle son, Roy Toffanello. I believe my Nono was from San Zenone/Treviso area. He died 11 years ago. There are a few of us in Ontario. Contact me if you would like a little more info. thanks.

Hi Joseph,

My grandmother was Teresa Toffanello and she married
Giovanni Zonta - they lived in Padova; had 2 sons,
Italo and Francesco Zonta Toffanello - My father
immigrated to Venezuela S.A. after the 2nd world war -
Francesco remained in italy and died in Treviso.
Teresa from what I know had a sister named Maria that
married a Trevese. I don't remember if she had any
other sisters or a brother - (I wish my father was still
alive to ask him) ... Do you know any of these people ?

let me know. I have a 1/2 brother in Italy that I would
like to find - his name is Giovanni Zonta and leaves
in Padova. He doesen't know who I am...

Hey joseph, my name is celeste and i'm from Australia, i also have the surname TOFFANELLO, my ancestors all come from italy- UDINESE, RIVINANNO. drop me a line we might be related?

Hello I there...

2001-02-07 15:54:47Z

Well, we are a rare species...at least by surname...especially in the States.
If anyone out there in the U.S. of A. wants to share his/her background briefly...come on down! I was born here, both parents from Italy (Vicenza/Padova provinces). I grew up in Italy and I am now living in the SW Chicago Suburbs.I saw 3 listings in the phone directory (my name isn't there - I'm unlisted). Certainly there might be a few more, but probably not many...we are rare.
Ciao for now.
Joe Toffanello
