Francesco (Frank) Ninivaggi, born about 1898 in Italy and emigrated to America around 1920. He was a barber and owned his own barbership in the Bronx on Huges Avenue, near the corner of Tremont Avenue. He married Rafaella Nuzzo on Fevruary 24, 1924. They had five sons - Angelo, Vito, Nicolas, Dominic, and Francesco. His cousin, Evangelista (Angelo) Lorusso (my grandfather) worked in the same barbershop with him. I'm looking for his ancestors plus his sons and their families.

Jim, so very glad to hear from you. Your grandfather and my grandfather, Evangelista "Angelo" Lorusso were cousins who worked together for decades as barbers just off of Tremont Avenue in the Bronx. We share common great great grandparents - Francesco Ninivaggi born Januarly 21, 1827 and Catarino Incampo born February 4, 1828. That makes us fourth cousins. Since both our grandparents lived about two blocks away from where they worked, I saw your grandfather many times at the barber shop that he owned when I was visiting, but the rest of the family only a couple of times. There was a large age difference between me and Frank's children so they were soon off and married while I was still a child. Our grandparents were best men and maids of honor at their weddings which were only 3 weeks apart in 1924. My email address is rpu9@aol.com. There is much information, including photos, that I would love to have on your extended Ninivaggi family. I have lots of information on the older Ninivaggi families dating into the 1700s and some photos already, but very little on your father and his siblings and their families. I also have a photo gallery site SmugMug.com with some Ninivaggi photos. Are you okay with inviting each other to our family trees? I'm sure we would have a lot to talk about. My phone number is 940-455-7430. I now live about 30 miles north of Dallas and Fort Worth..
