Hi Hughie,

So sorry I haven't responded sooner. Yes, Henrietta Lynn was my great grandmother. My dad grew up with her on Auchenharvie Road.

She passed away a couple of years before I was born... 1989 I think.

Worked with a Paul Giovannetti in 1970 in Barclays heavy engineering works in Kilmarnock. Nice guy.

Pretty sure he came from around Sannox Drive, Ashdale Avenue, Corrie Crescent area of Saltcoats.

Spent our first apprenticeship year there (he was training as a mechie fitter, I think) so we would be 16 at the time. Makes him about 62 same as me.

Haven't seen or heard of him since.

Hi all,

I knows it been a while. Just back from Barga exploring where my ancestors come from. The place is beautiful and knowing family had originated from the area made it feel so special.

I'm still on the road to finding out more information about the Giovanetti family. If you know any other stories or people you know who may be family with the family I would be greatly appreciative if you could divulge.

Thanks again for all the contributions so far.

Fiona

Hi John, the son you mentioned who had the driving school (Star School of Motoring) was my father. I am Cesare Giovanetti aged 51 (we changed the name back).

Cesare, hi.

What was you father's first name? I have fond memories of my driving lessons with him in the wee Morris Minor.

I really hope somebody can comment back. I've been tracing my family history as I have been given a snippet into my father's ancestry.

Over the Christmas holidays I have discovered that I am Louis Giovannetti's great great grand-daughter. His father I believe is Caeseri Giovannetti (I think that is how you spell it). It has been confirmed that he owned/ran the Sunset cafe in Saltcoats and lived in Douglas prior to that. The Giovannetti's originally originated from a little town called Barga aka Little Scotland (near Pisa- since the discover I am off to "sightsee" the town this May). I am also led to believe that Louis was part of the Navy - which one I do not know.

If anybody has anymore information I would be forever grateful if you could share. For me, I have no knowledge of my family history and to gain a glimpse has been fascinating.

Thank you!

Fionamcdonald1201, I am Cesare Giovanetti. My Grandfather was Louis Giovanetti who owned the sunset cafe.

I moved back to Scotland with my wife and three children from overseas a couple of years ago.

email me on: cesaregiovanetti@hotmail.co.uk and I will send you my tel number so we can talk....kind regards Cesare

I was the youngest of 4 children. Louis (now deceased), Christopher and Maria. I married Tina and lived overseas in the Middle East and Africa for 20 years. We moved back to Stirlingshire a couple of years ago. Our children are Francesca, Lucy and Massimo

If anyone else has any further info or photos on the family then please post on here...Regards Cesare
