The Ghiorzo family traces its roots to Teviggio (in the providence of La Spezia), Italy. My ancestor, Giuseppe Ghiorzo, emigrated from Italy in the year 1893 and eventually settled in Solono County, California. The information I have on the Ghiorzos is somewhat limited, as Joe spoke little English.
