Folks: I just found this msg. board while searching the net for any info. on the Alvino family name. Hopefully, those who read this can help.

FYI, our branch of the family emigrated to the US around 1904 and ended up in the Pittsburgh area, where some members remain (their name was changed to "Alvin". Our family line moved to southern NJ (Vineland area) during the Depression.

None of my remaining relatives can say for sure where in Italy we originally came from. We had always believed it to be Naples, but only recently has Campobasso been offered as a possibility.

I am interested in knowing anything and everything about the Alvino family, incl. history, branches, etc. and any efforts being made to connect the tribes. If anyone has info., please send to alvino1@erols.com. Thanks much.
