I was excited to find this post. Though I am not sure of the ancestry exactly, I am fairly sure I must be a part of this US family tree. I know that my grandfather (who died around 1958) was named Peter. I also know that somewhere along recent the paternal line I had a relation named Tony (Antonio?). I very recently had a lengthy conversation with my grandmother who told me all about the Tarsio family history but sadly I didn't write it down (she married into the Tarsio family). I know my family lived on Long Island/Queens/Flushing and now in Rockland County, NY (near NJ). I know of other Tarsios in relatively nearby areas though I don't know them personally. I also was recently contacted by a Tarsio in Argentina.
