Hi! My name is Christina Ongarello, I am the third child of Arthur (Azzo) and Rosa Ongarello.  My  granfather was Gino Ongarello, and his father was Azzo Ongarello.  On the Ongarello side, I have  managed to put together a very sketchy family tree from bits and pieces I have gathered  from various sources.  I have also recently made contact with Sylvain Ongarello who resides in  France and he has supplied me with his family tree.  His great grandfather Filipo was the brother  of my great great grandfather Giacomo!

Last year I was fortunate enough to travel to Italy to meet up with Pierantonio and Roberta Ton,  who are the grandchildren of my great grandfather's (Azzo) brother Antonio.  Pierantonio had some  wonderful information on the Ongarello family and I spent a very memorable day at his home in  Padua looking over family documents, after I was given a tour of Padua including organising a  sighting of "The Blessed Bernado Ongarello" who was entombed at the D.O.M. Immaculate Church in  1279. It was a truly amazing experience.

I would like to also thank Maria Linders (Ravesi), Beaty Davis (Cincotta) Annette Sonego  (Dimattina)and Vince Strangio for all the information and photos on the Strangio/Ravesi/Cincotta  and Dimattina families!  Their tribal pages are amazing.

I would also like to thank Susan Haigh (Santamaria) for all the information on the Santamaria  Family.

If anyone has any photos or further information they would like me to add, please email me at  tinaonga@optusnet.com.au and I will add the details that I may have missed or edit anything that  is incorrect.

This is something I am really passionate about, I believe it is a wonderful gift to hand down to  the next generation, so they never forget and can be proud of their heritage, any help would be  greatly appreciated.

May I ask you to please sign the guest book, so I can acknowledge anyone who has been helping me  build this!  Thank you!

Love to all extended family
 Christina (Tina) xox
