I've been trying to find info on my family history, so far I know that the Scamardi family lived in Poggioreale, Sicily before emigrating to Texas at the turn of the century where it was then changed to Scamardo. Since Camarda, is a cognome derived from a place name in Italy I'm thinking thats where Scamardi evolved from. Anyways, if anybody has any thoughts, evidence supporting or negating that please let me know.
