My paternal grandfather's surname ended in "iglia". He and his ancestors, dating back to at least 1705, hailed from Roccasecca, Frosinone - approximately 80 km southeast of Rome.Tonal wrote:My cousin was inquiring about her grandparents and that she was told they came from Palermo. Her maiden name was Caniglia. When she mentioned this to an Italian man at Milwaukee's Festa Italiano, he said that the endings of Italian names gives one a clue as to if they were from Sicily, or, the mainland of Italy. Can anyone let me know if this is true and explain it to me. Thank You.
