Mary's father changed his and his family's surname to Stauff upon arrival in the USA. Mary's brother Pellegrino, born in Italy, later changed his surname back to his christened name of Staffa. Her brother Salvine was born and christened Stauff in Wilkes Barre, PA. That's why her brothers have different surnames. Mary's surname was still "Stauff" when she married Bruno Caruso.
