These Capelin pages were originally established on the basis of the records of Ray Spinaze (1914-2006).

A great deal was progressively added from these sources:

Steve Capelin's substantial Capelin page.
the large family tree assembled by Barry Sommerlad, with considerable assistance from Antonio Perin in Veneto and Marina Battistuzzi at the Municipio at Orsago
further information gained by Steve Capelin from Elda (Perin-Bianco) at the Perin Family Reunion in Conegliano in June 2015, and as a result of discovering Baldassar & Pesman (2005)
