Please leave Frank Sinatra out of it. His only connection (to the mob) was likely that he was Italian American. What you are suggesting is way worse than racial profiling, it's racist. We were discriminated against too, you know. Remember Protestants United for the Separation of Church and State?

This is dangerous ground you're treading, for Italian Americans, he's still quite an idol. Hands off!

The biography by Anthony Summers and Robbynn Swann places a Lercara Friddi Sinatra in Luciano’s phonebook and in baptismal/marriage records at the local church. I wish those two would send me the documents. Those are MY relatives! I have been trying to locate documentation for my family tree.

Whether Frank Sinatra is related to me or not is another subject. According to A&E’s “Biography” on Frank Sinatra shortly after his death, they claim the singer had relatives in New Jersey which his family didn’t associate with because they were bootleggers! That’s my family. I guess it doesn’t make as sensational a story if you’re not famous or even acknowleged.

As for Summers and Swann, maybe some further fact-checking would be in order. It’s assumptions like this that create more misinformation. Perhaps Random House should be notified?
