Lisa...I was down in Long Island visiting my grandmother today. She's in an extended care facility and is 96 years old. Anyway, I asked her what her maiden name was and she did say Pisaniello. Sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner, but I've been busy, not only with work, homeschooling, and family matters, but also I've found some interesting information about my father's side of the family (Garzilli) and have been communicating with a 2nd cousin from Argentina and a more distant relative from Italy. It's been very nteresting.
Relatively speaking, Pisaniello seems to be a more common name than my other Italian ancestors' last names. My grandmother is from Naples, and she has family still there. It seems as though in her family people were tailors and musicians. I have some info written down about her family. E-mail me directly if you're interested, OK? (
