On to My Grandparents Home Town

My Maternal Grandparents

PHILIPO & JOSEPHINA BELLINO

with My Mother LUCIA

UNCLE TONY

Lodi, New Jersey

about 1940

I Will Go to The City Hall in Lercara Friddi and get any pertinent records

of my Grandparenst Philipo & Josephine. I will also go to the church they were

baptized in as well as being married there ..

Note : Our family Name was Bellina, spelled with an “a” not an “o” but like

many immigrants passing through Ellis Island back at the turn of the Century (1900), the

correct spelling of my Grandparents was changed slightly from Bellina to Bellino. Since that was the spelling of their name on the very important document of them passing through Ellis Island, New York in 1904, it was the spelling they stuck with and used.

The Chairman of The Board

Francis Alber Sinatra

aka FRANK

aka

FRANK SINATRA

Ancestry of Lercara Friddi, (Sicilia) Italy

My Grandparents who came from Lercara Friddi, the same town as Frank Sinatra and

Lucky Luciano, immigrated to America and settled on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in Yorkville, and lived there for a few years before moving to the town of Lodi in New Jersey, which was at the time inhabited sole of Italian-American Immigrants, of which 90% of them were from Sicily …

My Grandfather Philipo was a Shoemaker in Lercara Friddi as was Frank Sinatra’s

grandfather. It’s most likely they knew each other being from a small town in the 1880’s, 90s, and early 1900 Hundreds .. We may even be related which I will try to find out at the city hall in Lercara Friddi. “Wouldn’t that be Cool?”
