John Frink (1633/34-1717) was possibly born in Brixton, England. He married Grace Stevens in 1657 supposedly in Massachusetts. He probably arrived in Stonington, Connecticut in 1667. Descendants lived in Connecticut, New York, and throughout the U.S. and Canada. Also includes a section on the Frink families of Kittery, Maine and some families that are as of yet, unconnected to John Frink of Stonington.

The definitive book about the explosive Rizzuto crime family On May 5, 1981, three rebellious members of New York’s Bonanno crime family were gunned down in a Brooklyn social club. One of the gunmen was Vito Rizzuto, a man who would rise to the top of the underworld in Canada and then expand his reign across continents to become a global superboss. The Sixth Family, now revised and updated, reveals the hidden history of the rise of the Rizzuto clan, the alliances it forged around the world and the bloody events that led to charges against Vito Rizzuto in the United States and Italy for racketeering and corruption. As police in the United States, Italy and Canada meticulously pieced together the puzzle that is Vito Rizzuto, established notions about the nature of authority within the Mafia were called into question. Who was this so-called “John Gotti of Canada”? How did he become one of the biggest names in global crime? And how did he survive the deadly assault from gangland rivals that almost destroyed his family?
