I know most of the history. John Sr. father was Frank. Frank had two older brothers, Andrew and Lawrence and a couple of sisters. Their parents were Giovanni Bapiste and Katherina. The parents, Andrew and Lawrence were born in Genoa and Frank in Chicago. They immigrated straight to Chicago. Giovanni had a brother who emigrated to San Francisco whose daughter married A.P. Giannini, the founder of Bank of America. John Sr. started and maintained about 30 different business up to his death in 1977. His son, John Jr., maintains many of them. Greg
