Maybe I am Italian?

June 13, 2016
Roland Street

Street name with Rolandino on it. Roland(ino). Any ideas as to its etymology is are welcome.

On my dad’s side of the family, only 50% of our heritage is known – we are Romanian. The other 50% is not certain, however we believe we are of Eastern European descent – exact location is unknown.

I have always wanted to know where the remaining 25% of my blood is from. Here a street name with such a distinct similarity to my name makes me wonder…

    Just read post about Rolandino Italy, well Romania was part of Italy during Roman Empire and all roads lead to Rome so they could have lived south in Italy and hot summers went up north to Romania, AC has only been around for only 60 years… Mystery Solved.

    Could be! We are still searching. Heading to Greece this summer and might do some further exploration in Romania.
