Iafolla/Jafolla

Post by Jafolla »

Hi =)
I am wondering if anyone has any information on the last name of Iafolla? Its and i but some many years ago my great grandparents came here from Capestrona/Capistrano (1880s/1900s) and they (The Americans I assume) thought it was a J instead of an i and why my grandparents didnt correct them I dont know but its now spelt Jafolla! I only have very limited information on my great grandparents Benjamin Iafolla and his wife Angeline/Angelina Fonetticco (I may have misspelled her last name forgive me) Any information would be wonderful and I thank you and appreciate very much!

Sincerely,
R. Jafolla
