Dawn, Leon Gaspardo/William Hillsinger is also my great-grandfather. I recently heard the story that he told one of his Hillsinger daughters in the 20's or 30's about his life and how he came to use 2 different names. He has been a mysterious person for years for us Hillsinger descendents, but another Hillsinger recently turned up an account written by one of his Hillsinger daughters after they communicated in the 20's for the 1st time in 25 years. My email is gflynng@yahoo.com if you wouldn't mind using it. I am also excited to hear from you. Gary
