My grandfather is Italian, his parents were Italian, their parents were Italian and so on and so forth. They were not jewish. they had no jewish relatives.
The other side of my family's grandfather, he worked for the mafia a lot up in new York City in the 80s. We're from the South, and they traveled up there in 1988 bc the economy was bad. They showed up every Friday with a suitcase full of money. Super serious kinds of people. I was only 4 and didn't spend but about a week up there so I don't remember much. My dad and granddad told me about all of it though.
Then he had friends with the local state mafia people. My dad did some kind of work for them, but I'm not even sure exactly what it was.
