While I build this site, please send e-mail about your Goglia family. As this page expands, I hope to include links and information on as many Goglias as possible. Check the database for your family. "Goglia in south Italy" is a list of addresses and phone numbers. If you find a connection in either database, please share the information with me. Together, we can find our roots.
January 1, 2010: The search for Goglia has expanded my knowledge of Italian history, especially medieval history. Now, I want to know where the name originated. In the south of Italy is found Goglia. In the north, the name Goglio is found along with two villages, Valgoglio and Goglio. Travel across the border into Slovenia, the name Goglia is Golja. Travel into Istria and we find the villages of Veli Golji and Mali Golji (big and little Goglia). Travel further east into Romania is the Golia. monastery.
Question? Are these names related, connected in any way? There are more Golia in Italy than Goglia. Most Goglia are found in Vitulano. Close by is the comune of Circello and home to many Golia.
Lately, I have been reading about DNA genealogy. Tests of the Y-chromosone is supposed to indicate the location of a surname. Several genealogical groups have been created using the results of DNA testing.
Question? Is Goglia/Golja/Goglio/Golia connected to the Longobardi invasion and rule of Italy? I have created word documents for an Italian telephone search of the names Goglia, Goglio and Golia.
