my grandmother Marlene Crescio daughter of francis crescio who was the son of david and linda crescio of Chicago Illinois is trying to research any information on the crescio bloodline as well as any other lines in relation particulary, the research of her father francis crescio.Any information would help thank you.

I don't know if I am of big help.

All I know is that here in Berlin (Germany), where I live, also lived around 1900 a certain Carlo Crescio and his two sons (Carlo and Giovanni) .

I have a picture of this Carlo Crescio the father of this two sons.

He had a restaurant which heritaded one of his sons.
after his death. I have also a foto (not very good anymore) from this restaurant (around 1906) from the exterior facade and interior of this restaurant.

Where the Crescios came from Italy is uncertain. I assume around the Province Genoa.

The first Crescio I found was in Hamburg (church book) around 1860. One line of the family is emigrated seems to me, another line stayed in Germany.

In Hamburg was a certain Gattorna (name and little town in Italy are identically), who knew something about Crescio. But unfortunately he is dead now also. From him, the Gattorna I have got the fotos of Crescio.

Once (1992) I found in the little town Gattorna in Italy a man whose name was Carlo jr Gattorna. He did not know much about his ancestors. 'The first mentioned Carlo Crescio was his Grandfather, he told me. He told me also that there exists a line in the States, from which he does not know nothing. I think he is dead now. He was an old man, when I met him. His wife is younger, but she is German and I think not interested in the family of her husband.

Perhaps this is a little help.

My great grandfather, August Crescio, was a brother to David Crescio. According to the records that I have, David and Linda had 7 children: Francie, David, Catherine, Harry, Pauline, Marie, and Lorraine. I don't have much information on those children or their families.
