Pedigree of 1600
Somebody had already thought of it before ...
I found a manuscript of 1700 with information taken from a parchment of 1600: pedigree of Verlato the year 1004 to 1620, with stamp of authenticity made in 1718 under the Venetian Republic ...
The emotion was so great, even if the parchment was rather quiet, lay there for a while waiting to be opened.
I ordered a copy for potermela to read it at home.
The first impression is that our branch, which still exists, it is disconnected from Verla even before the widespread mutation of the surname from Verl Verla, probably around 1350 by Giovanni Verla "Verlato commonly called" the son of Negro Verla.
Probably the main branch formed by Giovanni Verla since 1004 has continued in Roveredum, then called Villa Verlaria in Vicenza and then Villaverla until at least 1700, when between daughters and sons canons (priests) do not become extinct.
One of the many branches formed by the second, third quarters etc etc children has instead continued wandering around somewhere ... until the first reliable data on the presence Arzignano around 1600, where a list of participants in a meeting on the Church of St. Agata Tezze appointment in the presence of "Domenego Verlato.
When can I have copies of the parchment (not before 20 November 2009) I can give you a list of unofficial genealogical progression, in any case the maximum order is: John
Verla ( Aureato the Order of the Glorious Virgin Mary Milicia , who served under the name of Henrico According to the first Imperator et de 'Germans, and Duke of Bavaria, came to Italy in the year of the Lord MXII )
Otonello
Francesco Verla Verla
(the main branch continues with Verla Negro, born in 1328, and his son Giovanni Verla "commonly called Verlato)
separation here, with:
Otonello Verla
Verlato Mascarello (?)
Otonello Verlato
Giovanni Francesco Verlato
Verlato
Galvano Verlato
Galeazzo Verlato
Alessandro Marco Verlato
Verlato
Verlato
Francis Alvin Francis Verlato
Verlato
Domenego Verlato (and here we are probably in Arzignano)
with their children: John
Giuseppe Antonio
Collatino
Domenego had a brother named Alexander had a son Paul, but the branch seems to stop.
This sequence partly explains the strangeness relationships between Verlato in Vicenza and in Verlato Tezze Arzignano, contrary to previous assumptions that could see the Verlato Arzignano arrive after the expulsion from Vicenza around 1400)
Tezze recall that it was a desolate place, marshy, subject GuĂ flood of the river, in practice left free to poor people who had the courage to risk their lives, while the "Lords" or lived at the Castle of Arzignano (the area high on a hill) or in the surrounding slopes.
The parchment is then reported on the time the imperial eagle in the arms of Verlato, or with the decoration of Domenico Verlato (obviously not ours above) as the privileged of the Eagles by Massimiliano The Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire in 1500. The emblem of the original
Verla cherries are then 6, the imperial eagle comes only in 1500.
