my grandfather migrated from Sicily to the US somewhere around the turn of the 20th Cenntury through Ellis Island. at that time he also changed the spelling of our family name from Campisi to Campise...he initially lived in Brooklyn and met my grandmother who migrated from Northern Italy...they married and moved to Queens to raise a family...we are fairly certain that at least one of my grandfather's several brothers moved to New Jersey, a few headed south and another to California...as far as we know they all lost touch once in the U.S.A.
