Is he married or single.... :?:

Re: Lise: Surname of g g grandfather and missing g grandfath

It could be that we're confusing two Antonio's. There's one Antonio who was born in 1887:

ANTONIO LISE
Birth: 20 May 1887
Death: Apr 1978
Residence: 11791 (Syosset, Nassau, NY)
SSN: 094-01-7558

Did we mention this one? Don't recall one from Syosset...

Is there an entry for him in this post ...
