I'm looking for any family members to Thomas Gangemi, deceased mayor of Jersey City. Please drop me a line.

Jennifer,

I am named for the ex-mayor, my father, Bruno, is a cousin of his. Are you my cousin Bruno's daughter? My daughter, Melissa is also researching the family name. Please respond.

Tom Gangemi, the ex-mayor, is my great uncle. I'm not 100% sure exactly how, but I know that much. My great-grandparents owned a store in Jersey City. If you can help fill in the blanks, I would appreciate it.

My dad was also one of Tom Gangemi's Nephews. His name was Anthony George Gangemi, his brothers are/were Frank, Johnny, Angelo, Mickey. They were all raised in South Jersey. Please email me at gangemi1@bellatlantic.net

Tom,
In response to your December 1st email. My great grandparents, Joseph and Teresa Gangemi, owned a grocery store on Ocean Avenue in Jersey City. My grandfather was Stephen Gangemi. He moved to Dumont, New Jersey after marrying my grandmother. My father is named after my great grandfather. Let me know if this helps. I think we may be related somehow.

My fathers Great Uncle was Tom Gangemi, Mayor of Jersey City. My grandfather is Joseph L. Gangemi, who married Rose Calabria and birthed Joseph L. Gangemi, Jr.(my father) and Savarina Gangemi (Spano).
