From that point, correspondence with persons in America who descend from Luigi together with sophisticated and extensive examination of DNA test results may lead to identification of the blood ancestors of Luigi. His record of birth and baptism indicates he was abandoned "nel distretto di questa Parrocchia" ["within the confines of this parish"] (namely at the wheel of the hospital) and therefore may have been born to an unmarried female who may otherwise have resided anywhere within the province of Genoa.<br>
