Hummm, good luck unraveling that one.I grew up in Chicagoland before moving to TN in 1975.Espositio seemed to be the Italian equivelant of Smith and the Hispanic equivelant of Jones in that area.
From memory:My father was Frank Esposito, son of Salvitore and Theresa (Tagleferro(?)) Esposito of Naples.They both recieved their names in an orphanage in Naples as children.
Children of Salvitore Esposito: Joe (deceased), Patsy, Johnny, Sammy (deceased, former WBBM-TV news director), Louise (deceased), Sylvia, Frank, Yolanda, I am sure that I am leaving someone out.They were not big on middle names either.My father has no middle name but gave me and my sister middle names.
My parents had only 2 children, me (Stephen) and my sister, Theresa Louise (Esposito) Newbill.
I believe all of them had children but keeping up with that was rough, I was around the 20th of the cousins.Certainly the most successful of us is Zurich (son of Sammy) and he is still around Chicago, works international banking or something.His sister, Sienna, is quite successful in television.
I have one child, Stephen II, my sister has none yet.
