 Notes: 1- Inclusion of these names doesn’t automatically mean these people are related to the prominent name-sake families.
Following genealogical information courtesy of Marie-Anne Marandet:
2- Abel REGGIO - son of Giovanni REGGIO (agente di cambio) & Eugénie CAPORAL - is registered in the books of the Italian Consulate in Smyrna as being born on the 12th of July 1869 (one year difference). He must have had a double nationality: Italian & Turkish.
Two other members of the REGGIO family applied for an American citizenship:
Nicholas REGGIO, born 31 August 1807 (or August 6th, 1807), son of Pantaleone REGGIO & Elisabetta CORSI, married in Boston on August 6th, 1845 to Pamela MULLER, and settled in that town - 4 children.
Hubert REGGIO, born Octobre 13th 1845, son of Ignazio REGGIO and Despina BARRY, nephew of Nicholas, married to Nicolette Mirzan and then to Adele Mainetti. Apparently most of children stayed and died in Smyrna. return to main text
