Famiglia Ziraldo

Benvenuto! Welcome to the Ziraldo family ancestral timeline, where the sprawling branches of the the extended Ziraldo–De Giorgio lineage trace their roots back to the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of Northeastern Italy. From the towns of Mereto di Tomba, Plasencis, and Fagagna, la famiglia Ziraldo spans generations and geographies, from the Adriatic and Mediterranean to the Americas. Here, and on our blog, we share the stories, challenges, and milestones that have defined the Ziraldo family over time.

We thank you for your patience as we work to fill out the Ziraldo family timeline. There is an abundance of material to incorporate.
