My Grandma worked cleaning houses with the Bologna/ Taormina family they were Grocerers and I believe they created Progresso soup.

If you would like to have some of those photos restored, I’d love to gift that to you. I’ve been restoring photos for 20 years. It would be all digital, so no need for me to all the originals in hand.

I grew up in New Orleans, 9th ward, my mother was born in 1951. It's great you still have pictures. My family lost all of those memories in hurricane Betsy. Thx for sharing 💗

I love when persons of African descent can trace their family history. As a Caribbean person 🇹🇹 with African descent I'm trying to trace mine.

Thank you for sharing your family history. It's awesome Have you ever looked up the Bologna family. I know there was a lot of Sicilian people in Louisiana.

All yt people weren’t bad back then there was a significant amt that were decent. But I will say, the banks were probably racist and your grandpa probably had already earned all the money that was loaned to him. Great story.

BTW, back then many, if not most, painters were basically chemists because painters often could save a lot by preparing their own (linseed oil) base and (powdered) colours. . Sherwin-Williams was the 1st ready to use paint co. and they didn't exist until 1866.
