Thanks for reading Debra! My grandfather's first and last name changed several times in his life and records cite it three ways: (birth) Antonio Cristofolo, (baptismal) Antonius Christofaro, and (1920 census) Anthony Christopher, (1929 NYS marriage) Antonius Cristofolo. He ultimately used Anthony Christopher. His wife and children were Christopher, our name.
I have always meant to ask you about the name Christopher being Italian! From Christofolo?
