Her father, Morris Schinasi, was a Sephardic Jew born in Manisa, Turkey. At the age of 15, he left Turkey for Alexandria, Egypt, where he would live until he was nearly thirty. It was then that Garaffolo, a successful Greek tobacco merchant, who informally adopted Schinasi in Alexandria determined that Schinasi should seek his fortune in America. In 1893, Morris Schinasi exhibited the cigarette made with his patented cigarette-rolling machine at the Chicago World's Fair. Schinasi then returned to New York City to found Schinasi Brothers with his brother, Solomon. Together, the Schinasis imported Turkish tobacco and produced ready-made cigarettes at their factory on 120th Street and Broadway. Morris Schinasi’s success was acknowledged by Abdul Hamid II, the last Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, who gave him the Medjidie Medal of fourth degree "for his excellent efforts in promoting this industry, which won for him His Majesty’s commendation."〔Schinasi, Altina. The Road I Have Travelled Santa Fe: Apodaca Hill Press 1995, p. 4〕
Altina’s mother, Laurette Schinasi née Ben Rubi, the granddaughter of Schinasi’s business associate Joseph Ben Rubi, was a native of Salonica, then in the Ottoman Empire. Upon Morris Schinasi’s death in 1928, his widow Laurette Schinasi traveled to Manisa, Turkey to establish Moris Sinasi Çocuk Hastahanesi, or Moris Sinasi Children's Hospital in the city of her late husband’s birth. It remains in operation today.
