i think several italian surnames in the states are wrong, looks like santora that is sure santoro or massino that could be messina and several others
The processors at Ellis Island did a major job of butchering last names of immigrants from all over the world . My grandfather told me about a friend of his whose last name was Belladonna and they change it to Bell . There's also a bunch of Rossetti and Rossi's that changed their names to Ross . It's crazy how people can just cut away generations of family history just to try and fit in.
