James Verde

Grandma's maiden name was Verde, which was changed to Green at Ellis Island (for the record Grandpa's surname was Guarino and was changed to Warino there as well as shown by the Citizenship papers below).

She had a brother named James. He was best described as the polar opposite of Grandma. He was a really cold person. I spent a lot of afternoons at his house, very uncomfortably. I was about 7 years old and the visits involved them playing cards and me sitting on a chair; loads of fun. He would receive letters from the remaining sibling(s?) in Italy and read them in Italian to Grandma. Their daughter is/was Phyl Redmond.
