hello, my names rocky.
my grandfather was frank camp, originally francesco ciambrone, or frank cambroni, or francisco chambrone, or any other of too many names i have run across in my search for my family history.
i read your thread on ancestry. com about wanting to find realitives with this last name, and saying when you asked family members it was like they didnt want you to know. this struck me becausei get the same feeling.. my mother just does not know a whole hell of a lot about her own father, besides that he was kind of a maffia type guy, and his mothers maiden name was donato, or donata, and she had realatives in canada by the name of mastria.
she lived with him untill she was 15, and thats all she knows.
and whats stranger, i have found different documents where he spells his name atleast 3 or four different ways in his own hand, its realy odd to me also, like he didnt want my mother or her sisters knowing too much about him.
he owned nightclubs here in houston, also in san antonio, and chicago, that i know of., i know he was a taxi driver in ny in his earlier years, his fathers name was antonio, or anthony, his mother, rose, rosina, or rose, maiden name donato , she does have realitives in canada, i have actualy spoken to, i wasnt able to get much out of them.. any how, thats all i got, if you know anything , or anything strikes you about anything i have told you. please let me know. thanks.
