| John Crisera |
Mary Periconi was born about July 1878, in Calabria, Italy.
Her husband John
Crisera was born about 1862 in VillaSan Giovanni, Italy. They were
married about 1897 in Manhattan, New York. They had seven children.
Harry, Sadie, Jean, Samuel, Joseph, Josephine and Mary.
My wife communicated with Harry many years ago and we have saved
a letter Harry wrote her in return. Also of interest is the fact that
some of the male decendants of Mary and John changed the spelling of
their last name. A story, not necessarly the correct one, said it was
to make the spelling of their last name easier. Two versions of their
last name are "Criss" and "Christine". In the time of Mary and John,
spelling of ones name was not as it would be today. Many in those days
did not read or write. Also, if an error was found, money would not be
wasted on the name being changed through a legal system. I don't know
if we will ever find out for sure, why they changed their last name.

| Elizabeth Millspaugh |
Domingo Periconi was born 22 January 1883 in Reggio,Calabria,Italy.
His wife, Elizabeth Millspaugh was born about 1885 in New York. They were
married around 1910. They had one son Eugene Alexis Periconi.
Domingo was an artist. His paintings can still be found by searching some of
the current art web sites. His speciality, western themes, can be found on
the front cover of many magazines.
The other day while searching the internet for information, I came across
a reference to Domingo F. Periconi. In the article, he was credited with
doing the cover's on the following magazines:
Sangroo the Sun-God. 1931. in:Jungle Stories, August 1931, vol 1 #1.
H.A. McComas, ed. .$.25. 160 pp. New York. Clayton Magazines, Inc.
Trumpeting Herd, The. 1931. in: Jungle Stories, October 1931, vol 1 #2.
H.A. McComas, ed. .$.25. 160 pp. New York. Clayton Magazines, Inc.
Sangroo the Sun-God. 1931. in:Jungle Stories, August 1931, vol 1 #1.
H.A. McComas, ed. .$.25. 160 pp. New York. Clayton Magazines, Inc.
I have met his grandson, David and his family and hope they will help provide
pictures and other exciting stories of Domingo's life. David, has two
grown children. The oldest, a son, is a practicing attorney and was recently
married and a daughter who is a language teacher.
