I don't know if this is much help but I am part of the "Philadelphia" Avallon(e)s. From what I know, Alexander Avallone moved his family from Italy to the US in the very early 1900's. I'd have to assume that they came through New York via Ellis Island. The oldest son, Ralph, moved with him. Three other sons were born in Philadelphia, Joe, Jack and Edward (my Grandfather). My Father, Alexander Edward, was born 1/7/1933. His birth certificate reads "Avallone" but somewhere, very early, the "e" was dropped to form "Avallon".
Good Luck
