My children descend from a variety of cultures.

The BRIGHT family relocated from Pennsylvania to the booming riverfront town of Wyandotte, Kansas, shortly after the Civil War.

The MOORE family, of Scots-Irish descent, lived in the upcountry of South Carolina for a hundred years or more.

The THADEN family came from German immigrants and Tennessee Scots-Irish clans.

The NICHOLAS family originated in Tripoli and Beirut, Syria, and lived among a Syrian colony in Jacksonville, Florida.

The HAHN and LUTES families raced for land in the Oklahoma Land Run of 1893 and had been ever on the frontier prior to that time.

The ROMEO and MOTTA families immigrated to this country at the turn of the century from Sicily.

The Lower East Side Tenament Museum


I would love to visit this museum some day.  Concetto and Santa (Romeo) Pappalardo lived in a tenement like this in New York City after they arrived in America.  They later moved to Connecticut. Nicholas and Elizabeth (Yazigi) David stayed for a short time in a tenement here before moving on to Jacksonville, Florida.  It would be fascinating to get a glimpse into their lives by spending some time in this museum.
