In memory of them

This site has been made in memory of our ancestors, the Venitians and the French Savoyers, to whom we owe more than life; but also in honnor of my grand-parents, Amedeo and Juliette, for the memory of them never erase from our mind.

This is a personal site, but you will find here a wide documentation about many families of the name Schiavon all around the world: geneological trees, history, art, etymology, pictures and many more.

Our database contain many thousands of names. You may find relatives or ancestors. We also have a few family trees from Quebeckers who are related somewhere to the Schiavons .

And through our Forum we try to find all Schiavons in the world whose desire is to communicate their finding about their families or contact cousins.

This is the nomadic tree of the Schiavons, whose roots embrace Venezia and whose branches hug he world.

The main goal of this page is to reunite, the Internet way, all related families, to gather information concerning the Schiavon's genealogy and try to find the common ancestor for the related parallel lineage. We're not trying here to wake the dead just to add a date on a family tree. It is rather the alive we wish to bring to life by helping to find, in this great family, lost cousins and to establish contacts with them, exchange information and data, and who knows, find new friendships.

French-Italian Genealogy

All Schiavons came from Veneto, Italy. We have been able to trace Amedeo's lineage to the XIXth century but no more, in the area of Venisia, and Burano.

In another hand, the Favres' lineage (maternal ancestors of Juliette Chantre, Amedeo Schiavon's wife) find it's roots around 1600 with Claude Favre in Savoy, France.

Juliette Chantre and Amedeo Schiavon have united Savoyers and Italians. Their descendants are Frenchs for the most, and one is Quebeker, what's explain that this site is made in Quebec

Some collateral lineages are still Italian today.

This is the nomadic tree of the Schiavons, whose roots embrace Venezia and whose branches hug he world.

This website edition was made possible by the technical help of Isabelle Renaud an anthropologist, Quebec, my daughter; Thanks to Lorena Schiavon Nunes Sõares, and Luiz Henrique Schiavon for the Portuguese translation, Brazil; Alberto Schiavon from Torino for the Italian translation, and also Giovani Schiavon and Alessandro Schiavon,   Italy, ; Osvaldo J Schiavoni , Argentina for the spanish translation; Marc Dufresne, translator and computer programmer-analyst, for some of the English translation , Osvaldo J Schiavoni from Argentina for the spanish translation, René Teissier, France, for a lot of information ...

NOTE: As I often need to add some commentaries, most of the english pages have been written by myself . I beg your indulgence, my English is far from perfect, but you can read me with a smile hearing my French accent :-) . You are welcome to write and help me to correct whatever you find unacceptable. Thank you.
