Mexico research in Italy


By josiett - Posted on 21 May 2006

Greetings from Switzerland! I took some R&R time in Italy and found someone
born in Mexico and buried in Italy! I went to Venice a couple of weeks ago
and took a water taxi across the lagoon from Venice to the Island of St.
Michele. It is a walled cemetery island in a quiet garden setting and a
wide variety of memorials. I did not look at all the burial sites since it
is extremely large but, as fate would have it, I found a beautiful burial
site of a gentleman named Salvador Yturbide. The tombstone reads:

"Salvador Yturbide, nacido en Mejico el 18 Setiembre 1849, muerto en
Ajaccio 26 Febreri 1895."

I took a picture of this and will share with anyone who may connect to this
gentleman.
