Since the spellings you provided are all used in Italy your best bet to find the correct spelling is to go to www.ellisisland.org and locate both arrivals into the USA as immigfrants and check the ships manifest for the proper spelling and locate the towns of origin which is all you need to proceed back to 1809.
If you rin into a rpblem there then use the www.castlegarden.org websitge putting in just the last name and if too many show up put in their first names (IN ITALIAN...yes there are people who would put in "frank" as a first name on an Italian document.Petertimber
