XYLO’s paternal grandfather is Thomas Peter Duddy, Jr. (the son of Thomas John Duddy and Mary Angela Schmuck). XYLO’s great-grandfather Thomas was the son of English immigrants John Doody, later Duddy of Hulme, Lancashire (now part of Manchester) whose parents John Doody and Bridget Murphy were Irish immigrants from Dublin, and of Catherine Rodden, of Durham whose parents John Rodden and Mary Sherden were Irish immigrants. Mary was the daughter of German immigrants Peter Simon Schmuck, of Stegers, Schlochau, West Prussia (present-day Rzeczenica, Człuchów, Gdańsk Pomerania, Poland) and of Mathilda Stolpmann, of Eisenhammer, Schlochau, West Prussia (present-day Żeleźniki, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland).
XYLO’s paternal grandmother is Dorene Catherine Vanscoyoc (the daughter of Roy Thomas Vanscoyoc and Catherine A. Young). Roy was the son of Edward Augustus Vanscoyoc, of Dutch, English, German, and Swiss-German descent, and of Dora I. Houston, of Irish descent. Catherine was the daughter of Scottish immigrant William Young, of Denny, Stirlingshire (now part of Falkirk), and of Julia F. Barrett, of Irish descent.

Giuseppe was born in San Luca, Province of Reggio Calabria, Italy, to Francesco Saverio Porcara and Elisabetta Maria Alvaro. Concetta was born in Brianza, Italy, to Domenico Ciccariello and Maria di Nosia.
XYLO’s maternal grandmother is Eileen Frances Linnell (the daughter of Rodney Stewart Linnell and Verona Mary Parker). Rodney was the son of Winslow Warren Linnell and Mariette E. Hall. Verona was the daughter of Benjamin F[ranklin] Parker, whose parents, George Parker and Mary Ann McFadden, were Irish immigrants, and of Canadian immigrant Mary Jane Bryson, later Brayson of Johnville, New Brunswick.
XYLO’s matrilineal ancestry can be traced back to their third great-grandmother, Mary, who was an Irish immigrant.
