Dorsino…how? One step at a time, my friend, one step at a time…. I was fortunate in that my Bavarian ancestors stayed put in one place for a while, and the town’s Catholic church records go rather far back. When I ran out, a German cousin was able to find more in civil court records to go back a little more. Pinpointing the place from which they came is only the first step – it helps if that place has records!

I tried through my family but only came up with my grandmother’s parents!

You have lots of good research there. For my maternal side, I have found many weddings in February. They were farmers and carpenters, so I fail to see any seasonal connection with it. For farmers, I would expect shortly after harvest, so no obvious connection.
