Hi Debbie!
My name is Naomi Chisley. I have been doing a little research on my family in hopes to construct a family tree. Looking up info on my distant cousin the former actress Ann Bancroft(Anna Maria Louise Italiano), I stumbled onto your message. We are apparently related. I am related to the Italiano family. My mother Julia Ann Simone (daughter of Olga Ann Simone)and her cousin Jean Simone (daughter of Mildred Simone)have told me that they had a cousin Vito Italiano who had a son Salvatore. Ann Bancroft had two sister's, Joanne and Phyllis. Her parents were Michael Italiano and mother Mildred DiNapoli. My mother's cousin Jean said that Vito would visit from New York every year or so. Somewhere along the line the Italiano family and either the Simone's, the Portanova's, the DeLuca's, the Sorreri's, or the Regillo's came together. Do any of these family names sound familiar to you? I have an address which I am not sure whom it belonged to: 169 Sickles Avenue, New Rochelle NY... I hope this message reaches you since I know that your message is from over 10 years ago. I'll keep my fingers crossed! Please email me if you do receive this at
