Question:

How might the surname "Sequoto" be spelled in Italy?

I am working on a family tree. Many names were changed/mis-spelled when people came to the USA. I have only found the surname in writing once. I don't think it is spelled correctly. I am told the family was from Sicily. Can anyone give me some variations of what "Sequoto" might actually be? Thanks!

Maybe you could supply some sites that you think might help me rather than tell me to research it. I have already been on the genealogy sites (ancestry.com, genealogy.com. etc) and have found no answer.

In American English the name is pronounced "sa kwo toe". If you said the name that way is it similar to any Italian names? I found one Ellis Island record of someone named Socouto which I see as a name that could be the same. Some people have told me to change the "e" to an "o" or an "i" and to change the "q" to a "g". Any thoughts?
