Hello
My grandfather was Ralph Jodice (born ca. 1898, died ca. 1968). My family lived in Bergen County NJ for many years (until the late 1980s). On some old italian documents it appears that our name was spelled with the first letter as an "I". In fact, the Ellis Island records I found had ourname spelled with an "I" also. My grandfater came over from Naples in 1908 on the ship San Giorgio. Ralph was married to Veronica Santino who came over from Sicily. The Santino's had many family members in the Bergen Co. area as well in Brooklyn and Stante Island.
