Thank you that I could join in on behalf of my wife's Antonius Antoninis, Antonin, Antoni i(a lot of variations) from Italy, Friuli from 14th century. F. Emerges into Stockholm in 1701 as a wounded refugee from Ingermanland that was a province of Sweden before the Great Northern War (1700-1721). He is well documented in the Swedish National Archives thus we know that Italy was his ancestors land. He was a swordsman, his son became good known and durable guerillas in the mentioned war from 1711 on, before they were mercenaries contracted by the Swedish Crown, the ancestor of my wife after F. was in the service of the Princes of Orange after 1688 in Holland, then since 1702-1710 contracted for the Swedish in Baltic provinces and then fighting against Tsar Peter the Great 1711-1720 in Baltic, but mostly present Finland areas.
The family has arrived the Swedish colonies during late 16th and early 17th century from Venzone via Poland and Hungary. The family is not originally Italian origin, but emerges as German in Friuli from Schwaben, Bavaria. But it is not of any German Y DNA but from Pommern-North Baltic area.
As a swordmaster F. was not a sword maker, but a fencing master. He was seen as somewhat interesting by the Swedish authorities that we know his steps in Stockholm since his arrival in Gävle, and his travel via Uppsala until Stockholm where he disappeared by 1703. The sons after him in Finland flourish in Finland eat least. There is a lot we do not know but the origin would be in Amaro in Daniel di Amaro, a merchant of iron products and after his son's son that left for Cracow Poland. But as said, this has been a difficult path and we have found no Y DNA of Baltic Finnic origin and it looks like male Antonin have no male successors in Friuli? Also, the spouses were likely during the first generations of German origin. Problems are many following the Autosomal DNA as my wife has ancestry in Schwitzerland, and a lot of German ancestry via spouses of Anton
io, The family ancestry is known from most of Europe as they descent of many ennobled old families and in some areas as of 1000 years an 40 generations. But this on Italian male ancestry has given trouble. Only with the help Trentino genealogists, and Friulian research we know this little. The de Antoninis would be one branch of older Udine dI Antonini -if I am right. But, everything may change. We eagerly search for Toninis, Antoninis etc. and would be very thankful of any connection with.
