My Italian Family

Good evening Al,
but your name is Al Loscavo or Lo schiavo?...I don't know who are your family member...I don't know these names......I hope you 'll come in Sellia next summer....with shimpathy

Stella,

Many times when Italians came to America and Ellis Island their names were changed; the family in Sellia spelled the name LoScavo and when we came to USA it became Loschiavo. I look forward visiting Sellia.

Al, that extra H makes a lot of difference:
Lo scavo means: I dig it
Lo schiavo is : the slave

Thank you.

Ok....I understand the difference......Thank You to admin and Al.....
