Over the past couple of years I been dabbling in reseaching my roots. Fregona is not a common surname but apparently we all originate from the province of Treviso in Northern Italy where there is an actual town named Fregona.
I discovered that I have a cousin Peter, also originally from South Africa who lives about an hour away from me in Burlington whom I contacted and we have become good friends. I took an Ancestry DNA test after I saw one of my cousins results online and was surprised to find out that I have a half-sister Elaine, originally from South Africa who lives in Galway, Ireland. We have chatted on WhatsApp and next year I am planning a trip to Ireland to meet her.
