His mom had married another man within that year and they had two children, however, they both died. His family has immigrated to Brooklyn, New York when Frank was seven years old. He had quit school once finishing seventh grade and began working jobs such as pinesetter, factory worker and barber. Al Capone had lived near where Nitti lived and Nitti was friends with Capone’s older brothers. The brothers were in a crime gang called “The Navy Street Boys.” Frank
