| I was born Frank Scozzari Adamo. Our family name however was not always Adamo. Several members of the family knew that our family name was changed to Adamo from Scozzari or Scozzaro in the early 1900s. Though there have been several versions of why the name was changed, to date, no one in the family knows or is willing to state exactly why our family name was change. There are two facts. First, my father, Phil Scozzari Adamo was baptized as Phillippo Scozaro, a month after he was born. That means that his last name was legally changed to Adamo after 1901. Fact 2: the records in Tampa's old phone directories show only Scozzaris and no Adamos prior to 1920 and no Scozzaris, but only Adamos after 1920. Thus the name was officially changed from Scozzari(o) to Adamo in 1920. Every member of the family I have talked to, including my father, indicate that Dr. Frank S. Adamo, my dad's brother, changed the name. Again, why? Nobody knows or is willing to say why. Some of the main lineage to the Adamo - Scozzari Family Tree Adamo - Scozzari - Ferlita - Tagliarini - Cagnina - Greco - Ficarrotta - Lazzara and many others. I have provided the Genealogy Report for the descendants of Francisco Adamo Scozzari(o), my great grandfather, is available below. My mother was born Mildred Evelyn Davis. Most of the Davis were farmers from Kansas. Their parents and grandparents settled in Tennessee. One line of the Davis family goes back to John Caruthers who may have immigrated to the U.S. from Scotland or Ireland. This lineage, dated back to the 1600s is found below. Some of the names included on my mother's linage includ Davis, Reeves, Hooper, and Caruthers Disclaimer: Information, stories and other items of interest came from memories, recollections and some from actual facts. We do not claim that the information are 100% fact, but I believe that stories and other historical information handed down from generation to generation is important and should be included in any family tree. |
