Ah, that makes sense. On Ancestry, the entry for Anna DiGregorio has her parents name as "Cruciata", it looks like it was spelled that way when she arrived to the US.

Good find. If anyone can find the relation it's Nash.

There was also an Antonino Cruciata (alt spelling of Crociata) from Castellammare who the FBI investigated in the 1960s. Cruciata lived in Sicily but visited NYC and Canada, with the Buffalo family apparently trying to sneak him across the border.

I was looking into Bonanno member Peter Crociata recently and found this obituary from April 1970 for an Anna DiGregorio, who’s brother was Peter Crociata. She was married to a Giuseppe DiGregorio, born November 1887 to a Sebastiano DiGregorio.

I’m not sure what, if any, his connection to Gaspar DiGregorio is, but it might not be coincidence since Crociata was DiGregorio’s underboss but I’d thought I’d post it and see if anyone more knowledge would be able to find anything meaningful.

Here’s the obit:
