I’m doing some research regarding our families surname and came across this thread. My family immigrated from Sicily in the late 1800’s, and settled in Connecticut. My great grandfather then chased the coal boom to Scranton, PA where we still reside. From what I understand, many changes happened at Ellis Island regarding names in the registry upon immigration. I would suspect we are actually Zumpanos, as the name Zampano doesn’t seem to appear in any texts prior to the early-mid 1800’s.
