Hello Amber, reading yours and your fathers, I think I at least know why the name was changed. My grandfathers 'passport' was done in fancy script, and while we know it as Iorio, if you look at it, it really seems to anyone not familiar with the name, it reads "Joria." Considering, I believe, that my grandfather couldn't really read or write, the change may have been lost in translation. Please email me, or have your father do so. I tried to send him an email, but the one listed no longer seems to be in service, and there is not one listed for you.
Regards,
Joe Joria
