Now I know why I haven't fooled with genealogy software for a while. I just hammered my fingers, my right hand, and my shoulder whilst editing, re-editing, deleting, moving around this and that file. It's fucking easier to just write the goddamned shit down on family tree forms. I mean Jesus!
This is my great-grandfather Giuseppe Gammetta, where it all started, namely the twelve million or so name changes. How we wound up with Gombatto no one knows.
One of my distant, distant cousins from Italy told us that Gammetta means "little legs" in Italian. I think in my case, Gombatto means "useless legs". The marimba curse goes on and on.
