What I learned from this assignment was more about my maternal great grandfather. I learned that he was the first family member to come to the United States from Italy. His name was Generos Muro. He dreamed of coming to America, making money, and living the American dream. He left his parents and migrated from Italy for a new life in America. He left Italy as a stowaway. He made his home in Boston Massachusetts where he began working in a textile factory in order to make a living. Shortly after arriving in Massachusetts he met an American woman whom he married. Together they had four children, three daughters and one son.  His wife became ill and died very young leaving him a widow with four young children. Soon after the death of his wife he was introduced to my great grandmother Beatrice. She was Italian but born in America. They soon married. Together they had six children, four girls and two boys one being my grandfather Thomas. Together they raised his 4 children from his first marriage and the 6 children he had with my great grandmother. My great grandfather worked very hard to support his wife and 10 children. My great grandfather died in his early forties of a heart attack. My grandfather was the youngest of the ten children and was only two years old when my great grandfather died. I now have great respect for my great grandfather. He was a hardworking family man.
