My father came to this country in 1915. His father Guiseppe before him. My father's older brother Nicholas came with him. My uncle Nick as he was called dropped the L from DelBalso and the name from that time on and still is to this day is DeBalso. My father's name was Anthony Joseph DeBalso. My dad died September 14 1993 at the age of 92. My father had another brother Angelo. He was the youngest. He did not come to America with my father and uncle. He came after World War I. My grandfather Giuseppe DeBalso married in the old country. He married Filomina Farinacci and their family name was changed to Farnach. I believe there are still DelBalso's and Farinacci's in Gildone Italy. I hope this helps. Thanks Jerry DeBalso
