My Great Grandfather and Great Grandmother were possibily from Bisqcquino. His name was Salvadore Gambino. He came to New Orleans, LA in about 1889. Do you know where the Gambino name originated? Any assistance would be greatly appriciated.

Do you have any more information on Salvadore Gambino? I have a Salvatore Gambino in my family- All I know is mother's name is Rosina, his father died in a sulfer mine accident after which Rosina married Salvetore's fathers brother Giacchino. They have a son (Salvadore's half brother) and it is that Gambino that immigrated to NY from Palermo Sicily in 1890 and is my g-grandfather. Any connection that you can deduce?
