John VAUGHAN presumably born in Britain about 1616 and Luigi GNARINI born 1833 in Italy are the first members of their respective families to come to America. This is a genealogy of all of their known descendants and the pedigrees of Ralph & Gaea that brought these two great families together when they married. We also have a separate International GNARINI Genealogy for all other known GNARINIs in the world.
VAUGHAN, the 854th most common name in the US (1990 Census), is the Anglo-Saxon translation of the Welsh word VYCHAN that meant a junior member of the family. It was originally used to refer to a child in a family having the same given name as a parent but it became a secondary or surname after 1000 AD. Usage of VAUGHAN begins along The Marches of England after the time William the Conqueror’s forces first approached Wales. Unlike England, William never conquered Wales and the Welsh language remained intact much longer. VAUGHAN is the original and correct spelling of the name and is one of the 35 oldest names in Great Britain. Vaughn, Vaun and all other variations are corruptions due mainly to illiteracy, transcription error or poor penmanship and were not found in ancient Britain. Census-takers and government workers were the greatest offenders.
GNARINI originates in the 11th Century mountain village of Ponzano Superiore, La Spezia, Liguria, Italy and is among the rarest names in the world. When Gaea's brother, John GNARINI, died in the year 2000, the name became extinct in North America. Ponzano Superiore was first built as a military outpost to overlook the Via Francigena in the Val di Magra (Magra River valley).
Our heritage includes four direct Mayflower lines (several more via cousin lines), scores of ties to European royalty and a few scoundrels.
At present we have over 26,000 individuals and over 5,000 different surnames.
This is an ever-growing work in progress and may need refinement. Submissions, corrections and respectful critiques to the Ancestral Charts, Articles and Photo Gallery are cheerfully invited and may be submitted by email.
