The Pagoria Family Tree

Our History

All Pagorias throughout the world originated in Caccamo, Italy (about 30 miles east of Palermo, Italy on the island of Sicily). All eight of the original U.S. Pagorias have been confirmed as having been born in Caccamo. There are three families that appear to be the common bond between all of the Pagorias in the United States. All Pagorias contacted in the United States are descended from these three families.

The Main Pagoria Family Tree Page details all the information that has been collected on the eight Pagoria branches and their descendants. The families are all related and their roots have been traced back to the early 1700s in Caccamo. The Pagoria history from the earliest known Pagoria to the time the eight U.S. Pagorias were born is documented at the following link (The Pagoria Old Timers).

All of the following Family Trees are linked to the main Tree and are also available at the following links:

• The Pagoria Old Timers - the Pagoria ancestors linked back to the early 1700s. Includes the patriarch of all Pagorias (who have retained their last names) that walk the Earth today.
• The Paoria Family - a branch from the main Pagoria Tree that did not embrace the common spelling of the family name.
• The Scalfano Family - May include all Scalfanos in the entire world. The Scalfano name is an Americanized version of the name Sclafani. The Sclafanis also have a rich history that springs from Caccamo, Italy.
• The Porto Family - Another family tree that originated in Caccamo and has multiple branches in the United States
• The Cincione Family - Another rare Italian name. The Chicago Heights Cinciones and their ancestors are included on this page.
• The Buzzelli Family - A branch from the Cincione Tree, which (like the Cinciones) originated in Castel di Sangro, Italy
• The Wells Family - includes the ascendants and descendants of Dick Wells and Nancy (Thatcher) Wells
• The Schweizer Family - Information on the descendants of Robert Schweizer and Lou Marsh are included on this page.
• The Pulcini Family - the ascendants and descendants of Rena (Pulcini) Cincione
