Hello!
I'm researching Antonino T. CAMPISI (later spelled CAMPISE) born 18 Aug 1877 in
Guiliana, Corleone, Sicily and lived in Bisacquino. His Passport says he came to New
Orleans in 1895 to work as a laborer. He later went into the grocery business. He was
the son of Giuseppe CAMPISI and Josephine (Unknown). He died in Houston, Harris, TX on 29
Jun 1955.
In New Orleans, he married Anna RUMORE on 03 Jan 1907.
Anna was born in Bisacquino on 23 Dec 1885 or 1889 to Sam RUMORE and Josephine
MALIZA/MALIZIA. Anna died in Houston, Harris, TX on 17 Jun 1942. Anna's sister
Angelina married a Sam SICOLA. Angelina died in Houston, Harris, TX in Oct of 1973.
Anna and Angelina's brothers were Joe, Jake, Tony, Louis and Tanny. Supposedly the
brothers were Music Professors in Bisacquino.
Antonino "Tony" & Anna's children (all born in TX) and their spouses:
1. Joseph Christopher CAMPISE married Pauline Agnes PIZZITOLA
2. Josephine Mary CAMPISE married Matteo CHIARA
3. Sam Leo CAMPISE married Antoinette Lily NAVARRO/NAVARRA
4. Vincent Charles CAMPISE died at age 20 unmarried
5. Louis Joseph CAMPISE married Johanna OGGERO
6. Anthony Vincent CAMPISE married Pearl Alice WALKER
Other surnames in the family are:
BENESTANTE, BONO, CIPRIANO, GRAZZAFFI, SICOLA, TROMBATORE
I'm hoping there is a connection with your CAMPISI family.
