Question:

What is the origin of the Surname DiBiano??


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: DiBiano is almost certainly Italian. More then that, you'd have to do actual research. The Ellis Island website may be able to show you all DiBiano immigrants - if they cluster in any one region of Italy you may be able to focus a search there, however, most surnames are common enough that without knowing your actual family, you'd just be grasping at straws.

The best bet to really find out more about your family is to start with what you know and work backwards, one generation at a time. Ask your parents, your grandparents, uncles, aunts, etc. Find out what they know, where they were born, lived, who their parents were, etc. Once you can get back to 1930, you can start tracing a family in the U.S. Census, which not perfect, can get you more dates, names, places, and more. That's really the only way to get anything that's not just speculation.
