In
the late 19th and early 20th century members of our Cavaletto family emigrated to
Chile and the United States of America settling in San Bernardo, Chile (the Osés
Family); Spring Valley, Illinois (the Cavaletto and Germano families); and Santa Barbara,
California (the Cavaletto and Cavalletto families). In the chart below Tere Osés
illustrates the familial relationships of the three branches of the Cavaletto
family in the Americas.

| A century ago Cavaletto cousins
and their families emigrated from Vesignano to Chile and the United States
of America. Michele Germano and Antonio Germano were brothers making the
Germano and Osés family double cousins. Their sister Francesca Germano
married Joseph Cavaletto, but we have not yet been able to link his
Cavaletto ancestry to the lines shown in the chart above, and settled in
Mark, Illinois (about 7 miles from Spring Valley). After her husband's
death Francesca and her son Dominick moved to
the
Detroit, Michigan, area establishing the
Michigan branch of the
Cavaletto family. Moreover, Maria Canovotto and
Maddalena Canovotto were sisters making the California, Illinois, and
Michigan Cavaletto families cousins. |
Pictured at he
left is Giovanni Battista Cavaletto and his wife
Cecilia
Peradotto patriarchs of the Spring Valley,
Illinois, Cavaletto family. Giovanni Battista Cavaletto (whose mother was
Maria Canavotto) was a first cousin of Laura
Cavalletto (whose mother was Maddalena
Canavotto).
Maria and Maddalena were sisters (their father was Bartolomeo
Canavotto). Moreover, Giovanni Battista
Cavaletto and Defendente Cavaletto were first cousins. For
more information concerning Illinois-California relationships see
