PAVAN GERAEDTS / Roots & continuity
Our roots move with us.
The history carried through Pavan and Galeffi remains part of our family. The name Pavan Geraedts gives this present chapter its own shared identity.
AMERSFOORT / ITALIAN ROOTS
Memory, carried forward
Pavan. Galeffi.
Geraedts.
Pavan and Galeffi connect Paolo to Italian family history. Geraedts belongs to Linda’s Dutch roots and to the family identity we carry together today. Our past informs our standards; our present gives them a living form.
Pavan
Verona, Venice & the northern Italian world
The family archive places the Pavan line in the Veronese and Venetian civic traditions, with connections to Murano and the wider Veneto–Friuli geography. These places form part of the historical memory carried by the family.
Galeffi
Tuscany, Cesena & an institutional inheritance
The maternal Galeffi line opens into Tuscany and the civic and ecclesiastical history associated with Cesena and Rome. Its place in our memory is also cultural: a tradition of attention, learning and service.
Geraedts
Dutch roots & the present family
Linda brings her own origin, professional history and lived experience. Her name is fully part of the family’s present identity, alongside the Dutch setting in which we have chosen to build our shared life.
What follows is a living family account: memory, places and names that still shape how we live. It is not offered as legal or genealogical certification.
