#19 USA Cherie Simioni Westergarrd, Chicago, Illinois

Cherie Simioni Westergarrd, Chicago, Illinois, USA, and I have also been in contact. While I don't have any family history on her, I want to be sure to make this space for her and hopefully some future information!

Since my husband's Simioni family mostly immigrated to or were born in Michigan, just one State east of Illinois we find it amazing to know after all this time there were other Simionis not that far from us right in the USA! (just 300 miles)
We did not know there were others in the USA at all. Maybe we'll connect our families yet!

We have found connections for Cherie while my husband and I are in Cittadella.  Connecting Family # 8 Sandra (Argentina/Miami, Florida) with #11 Marco (Cittadella/Paris), and #19 Cherie (Chicago).
Cherie has added her family info below in a "comment".

#18 Robb Foust in the USA,

From Robb:


I'm a bit new at this, but I discovered the Simioni blog (from Facebook, actually), and tried to post my Simioni heritage there. For some reason, the blog or my computer would not cooperate !
Anyway, I am a Simioni descendant by way of Winterthur-Zurich, Switzerland...
My father married my mother Ilse Isleif (a very rare German name, by the way; she is deceased) who was born in Winterthur, Switzerland.
Her mother - my grandmother - was Liberta Isleif (nee' Simioni), and Liberta's parents were Bonifacio and Emirene Simioni (nee' Malagoli; 1885-1966). They moved to Switzerland from Cittadella sometime after Liberta was born (1906-08?), but before WW1.

My great-grandfather Bonifacio was born in 1874. His father was Valentino Simioni, and Valentino's father was Augusto Antonio Simioni. Unfortunately, the "tree" I have in Excell does not list any of their siblings, just the direct line to my nonna Liberta.
So, there's a Simioni branch in northern Switzerland to this day. (I've got some stories I can share sometime about them, too:).
