some informations about the Pellegrino

I am not very familar with the Pellegrino history. I do know my grandfather, Gennaro, born in Italy (Naples), came to (& lived all his life in) Brooklyn in 1914. His belief was that the Pellegrinos were from Italy, somehow related to "The Romans".Perhaps there were more than one family, originating in 2 separate regions, one Northern, the other Sicilian; Pellegrino means "pilgrim" so I could believe that the name could easily have been adopted by/applied to more than one unique family. Any thoughts are appreciated.
