Gangi

[janusgangi]

I am looking for the Gangi family of Samuel and Assunta Gangi who moved from Woburn Mass to NYC I hope you can help. Their children were Joseph, Orlando, Samuel, Tony, Charles, Mary, Leona, Carmela, Angelina.
Both my grandparents had the last name of Gangi although, on my grandfathers death certificate his last name was spelled with an E at the end (Gange). My grandmother had a brother who lived in Pennsylvania. I know I have many relatives in the Boston area and in Florida. My father Joseph Gangi passed away in 2001 and I have been looking for my relatives since then. I know that my Aunt Angie live in New Jersey and she had a daughter named Patricia I'm not sure bu I think their last name was Sorno. Many of my relatives lived on Long Island for a long time. If there is someone out there who knows my relatives I would appreciate the help. I can't start looking back until I know about the present. Thank You for your Help

I'm not sure if this will be of any help but my maiden name is Gangi. My grandparents are Samuel and Assunta Gangi. My grandfather was a member of the Italian Army. Not sure if this is the same family members you are looking for but there are a lot of similarities. My grandparents immigrated to the United States from Palermo, Sicily and finally ended up in Minnesota. Where they were before that time I'm not sure. My father is Tony Gangi and I do have an uncle Samuel and an Aunt Mary. Some of the other names don't match up to what I know but my knowledge of the family is limited. I also have an Aunt Beatrice. Not sure if that fits into the family your looking for or not but would be interesting to find out.

Hi Janus - I have a buddy I met through genealogy who is a Gangi. We met through POINTers, Pursuing our Italian Names Together. He and my family are both from Resuttano, CL, Sicily. He might have some contacts about other Gangi's.

Please PM me and I can send you his email.

This post is four years old, so I'm not sure you'll get my reply--but I'm sure that we're related somehow. My great-great-grandmother Mariagrazia Cagnina was the daughter of Girolamo Cagnina and Calogera Gangi, and moved from their former home in Santa Caterina Villarmosa (Caltanissetta, Sicily) to join her husband, Salvatore Seminatore (also from SCV and who'd emigrated a year or so earlier), in Woburn, MA in the beginning of the 20th century. Importantly to you, I know that she had cousins from her mother's side move to be with them soon thereafter. Salvatore and Mariagrazia lived on Flagg Street until they both died in the 1930s.

Interesting to find connections like that (:

My nme is Charles Bowen. I am researching the Gangi family for my son-in-lay, Phili8p Massa. I the saw post from 2008 and Phil ask me to reply. His mother is Susanne Patricia LaMontanaro, her mother is Mary LaMontanaro (Gangi). Phil's great grandparents are Samuel and Assunta Gangi.

Mary died in 2010 in North Carolina. Phil's mom, Sue, is on facebook. You can contact her if you like too.

Sue lives in Pinellas county, Florida.

hi everyone! Seems like i have a few extended family members posting here. I am Cristina Gangi. Grandaughter of Orlando Gangi (Sam and Assunta's son) im trying to find some information regarding possible issue with the last name. I have seen the birth record from assunta in caltanisetta BUT where i get confused is that if assunta was married to samuele gangi (my great grandparents) how was she born Assunta Gangi. I am searching for confirmation of Assunta's (went by annie, assuntine,anna, susie) maiden name. Any one of you guys are welcome to friend me on facebook. Id really like to get some of this information set so i can keep looking back. I seem to have hit a wall at Assunta. I found the manifests Of her possibly traveling with a carmello gangi which from my assumption would have been samueles brother, no? Now im confused LOL. Youre welcome to email me also. I hope everyone sees this.
