The Grandmothers::Terese Lavonne Guarnera

​My Sicilian grandmother told me stories of her uncles starting casinos in Las Vegas in the 50’s and hanging out with Frank Sinatra. She also had family in Chicago that always sent money to them. After researching my grandmother’s family on Ancestry, I discovered her family was part of the “Cosa Nostra“ Sicilian Mafia.
