The Bartoli
Family
 
I do
not really know much about my family history except from reading the
book that my father’s father lent to him, which contains information
about the Bartolis. My great-grandparents came directly from Italy
into America. I know that they began their life on the east coast,
where my father’s aunt and cousin still live today. I am not sure
and neither is my father about how they happened to make into
Arizona. He does however know that his grandparents did not move to
Arizona, only his father and one of his uncles did.
The object
that I brought to class to represent my family is the Bartoli Family
Book. The cover shows the crest of the Bartoli Family and
introduction gives a little bit of a history of where the name
Bartoli comes from. The actually opening page says “The Amazing
Story of The Bartolis in America” which pretty much explains the
book itself.
One amazing
thing that I learned from having the opportunity to have this book
was that there was still a receipt from when my father’s uncle
purchased the book. The family had to give all of the information
to a company then they put it all together to what you see today.
There is a list of all the known family members' addresses, which I
am more than certain must be incorrect now. The only thing that it
does not have is a family tree which would be a little more helpful
in understanding who my ancestors are. It does however have a
section where you can fill in a family tree, just unfortunately
nobody alive in the Bartoli family now has that information.
