I just started my search for my family in Italy and keep running into road blocks because our Italian name was changed to Grace. I have seen our name spelled many ways some of which were in your post. My great-great grandfather(Domenick)born 1863 left the Calabria area in 1890 for the US.I believe he married his wife Rosa Desmona before leaving for the US. He ended up in Republic,PA according to death records. If you happen to have information please contact me.
