Hello,

My ancestor Giuseppe Predolin was born in Lussin, 12 march 1821 and emigrated to Argentina in 1846 where he started a family. His parents, Antonius Predolin and Catharina Boscovich were not married in the island, but had 6 children there who married also to Martinolich, Budua, Penso and Udina families. I would like to get in contact with any Predolin, Boscovich, or any other of these families to look for a connection and continue my family tree. I'm sure they were from some other place in Istria or Italy -Predolini. Thank you. Ema Macias Predolini

Leanne,

Try the Family search site. The LDS (Mormons) church get the records (births, marriages and deaths) of Portole and Stridone.

Hello, My father is the history buff in our family. Thanks to CBC radio interviewing Caterina Edwards, I found a piece of history that few know exists. Now I can converse with my dad about Istria! I have just finished reading "finding rosa", and I'm anxious to explore an obviously well run and organized web site. Thank you for inviting me to sign your guest book. Thank you for spending so much of your valuable time with the website to help others in many ways. I hope to learn many new things!

By far the best web site about Istria.

Ho appena scoperto questo guestbook che mi ha incuriosito molto dato che ho sempre seguito con attenzione la martoriata storia di questo bell'angolo del mondo che purtroppo non ho ancora avuto modo di visitare. Io sono un italiano che vive a Londra e mi piacerebbe molto mettermi in contatto con Italiani che ancora vivono in quei posti per capire meglio come vivono la loro italianita' quotidianamente. Comunque faccio i complimenti a chi ha intrapreso questa bella iniziativa per mettere in contatto gli Istriani di tutto il mondo che io saluto affettusamente.

I would like to Thank Marisa Ciceran for the hard work. This is the best and balanced Istrian site in the world. I had a look at the other sites, but they do not even compare to this site. On this site one can find history, music, art, poetry, cuisine, Istrian News etc etc. I could not even list what this site contains.The list could go on and on. This site is not educational for Istrian people only, but it could be used as an information for schools. It contains more that one language so it is universal, and multi-cultural.

Once again I would like to Thank Marisa Ciceran and all the Istrians and non Istrians that have contributed to this site. Wonderful site. "Second To None". Good Day, Bon Giorno, Dobar Dan, Bon Jour, Buenas Dias, Gut Morgen. Thank you for allowing me express my gratitude.

Ciao,Bruno C.
