Welcome To America!


On August 18, 1922, my grandparents and their eleven children (ranging in age from 22-years-old to 18-months-old), arrived by ship in New York City accompanied by a nanny for the youngest. In reality, the "nanny" was the fiancee of one of the older boys.

This photograph was probably taken about 1929-1930. How did they come up with such fancy clothes and, the biggest question of all, how did they ever get all eleven children together for a photo?
