Surname COLONNA
Posted: Thu Dec 14, 2017 9:38 pm
Good morning to Community,
my name is Giorgio Gardino, I'm from Italy (ASTI town).
I did DDC Jewish JFDP test; the results show that without any doubt I match ancestral Jewish population.
In particular I am descending from #44 Hungarian - Ashkenazim (n=178) , Megapopulation Jewish Rank # 6.
I was interested to this test, because the surname of my mother is COLONNA. The Family COLONNA is an important Jewish family in Turin (Piemonte) during XVIII and XIX centuries. But most of them, in the past, abjured their faith by coercion.
I knew that COLONNA were Ashkenazim and not Sephardic.
This surname is most likely the modified latinization of the name of the city of provenience, COLONIA (Köln, in Germany).
Actually I'm following a personal genealogical historycal research on my ancestors, in order to reach the Jewish ancestor group.
I'm so happy the test confirmed my historical assumptions and my suspects on my mother's ancient origin.
Best regards!
Giorgio
