My Great Grandfather Giovanni Morano. His wife, my Great Grandmother was Annuziata aka Nancy. I believe this was taken in Orange, NJ on Matthew St behind his home. Searching for any family members from this side of my family. My grandfather was the only boy of 11 children and he may have been born on the boat coming over from Sicily, Italy. His sisters names that I have were Catherine, Filomena, Florence, Margaret, Rose, Josephine & Celia. My grandfathers name was John Joseph. There are 3 missing siblings. I know at least one died and there may have been a brother named John Jennie born before or just after my grandfather although he died I believe. My great aunt married Samuel Preziosi Sr. from Orange, NJ as well.
