Mio nonno ..name.. è nato il 7 Luglio 1897 in Nuova Zelanda.

Mio trisnonno ..name.. era nato attorno al 1825 in Trentino.

Se pensate di essere imparentati con la famiglia Christini in Nuova Zelanda, per cortesia scrivetemi. La mia famiglia desidera conoscere le proprie radici e la propria storia e sarebbero veramente felici di ricevere vostre notizie.
Se non siete imparentati con me, per cortesia scrivete lo stesso per farmelo sapere.
Grazie mille per la vostra attenzione nel leggere questa lettera e spero di ricevere presto una risposta.
