    Does anyone know what cities or areas these two last names are from, and their meaning:
    Debaldo and Vettraino

    Debaldo is not an Italian surname. Vettraino is mostly found in Latium and Campania.

    Probably, my family immigrated through Ellis Island like all the other Italians coming to the U.S. If Di Baldo an Italian surname is there a meaning or location for it? I'm pretty sure my family knows whether they are Italian or not because there weren't any adoptions in our family.

    Baldo and derived surnames seem to be particularly relevant in Northern Italy. It seems very likely that Debaldo is just a compound form.

    What are you looking for?
    Debaldo? Di Baldo? De Baldo?
    I can tell you you wont find Debaldo in Italy cause it just isn't any italian, Di Baldo is from Latium so central Italy and the surname Debaldo could be the englishised form of De Baldo that is italian but pretty rare.

    You can look for italian surnames here www.gens.info/

    That's probably it, Americans seem to enjoy destroying those sort of names, the same happens with Portuguese "De Sousa" and similar ones.

    An Upper Norman one, more likely.
