My grandfather's last name was "BroGato" (BROE-GAH-TOE) from Palermo, Sicily. However, there are dozens of "BroCato's" in the Palermo phone directory but no "Brogato's". I think my great gandfather was the victim of The Ellis Island rename/misspelling game? Of course my gandmother's name was Rossi/Russo and her mother's name was Esposito.
