Researching Family History Lisanti & Crispi

Posted: 2 Jan 2012 7:40PM GMT
Classification: Query
Surnames: Lisanti, Crispi, and Tortora
My GG Grandmother Franchesca Lisanti came to New York in 1892 from Roccopolumba Sicily. Her birth year was apprx. 1887. Her parents names were Giovanni Lisanti and Rosalia (Sansone) Lisanti. She had two siblings that I have found so far. Anna Lisanti and Giancho lisanti. Frances lived in Queens,Kings County and Long Island where she ran a vegetable store and managed the Railroad Apts. She married Giovanni Crispi (my GG Grandfather) who was from Naples Italy and immigrated in 1892. His birth year was apprx. 1878. He worked as a Barber and was assaulted by the "Blackhand" organization at the time. That happened in 1908. They had three children Rose,Jeanette, and Tony Crispi. My Grandfather died in 1913 and the rest of the family moved to California in 1923. I am trying to find any family that may be living and could provide more information about my Grandfather and Grandmother's family and origins. If any of this sounds familiar please let me know! Thanks. Also, my Grandfather came to New York with a
sister (Anonette Tortorro and Giuseppe Tortorro) and I am guessing the last name has changed to Tortora.
