I am looking up our Family's history. I know my Grand Dad was born in northern Italy and came from a small village near the Piedmont mountains between Italy and France. He was a sheep herder and a fisherman. The name of the village according to older relatives was San Vale. They claim they are considered San Valese. I would like to know if anyone is familiar with this village in Italy.
Thanks!

I think your grandfather was from Valsesia, is an alpine valley situated in the Vercelli's province.
There is a Walser community, some of my husband's classmates from the Walser community had German surnames.
