Actually, this from some1 posting on the Genealogy.com fora:
"Schiavo means 'slave' in Italian. It seems that the word much relates to Yugoslavia and 'slavonic' origins. There is a region in former Yugoslavia - south of Danube river - still known as SLAVONIA"
All the posts looked Italian. So I guess I'm wrong - but curious this poster mentions (ironically) possible Slavic connections.
And BTW, bless Terri SCHINDLER, and may God use her to fix our problems, however that may be.
Child of God...
