Genesi Genesio Geneseo: A Family History is a book about the legacy of two Italian immigrants more than a century after their arrival in America. This family genealogy is a historical account of the trials and tribulations experienced by two Italian immigrants from the late 19th century through World War II, and the rewards reaped by their descendants because of the love and loyalty they had for their adoptive country. Genesi and Cesira Geneseo and their children built a solid foundation for those who would follow. As of December 31, 2015, Genesi and Cesira have 78 direct descendants who were born in the United States and we are all grateful to them for what we have and for who we are. In appreciation for the rights and responsibilities we have inherited, many of have served in the nation's Armed Forces, and one of us died for his country during the war in Vietnam. We have also contributed in the fields of agriculture, education, administration, medicine, science, law, technology, music, creative writing, finance, transportation, construction, public service, cosmetology, culinary art, home management, child development, athletics, industry and business. May those who struggled and sacrificed for our birthrights be always remembered by those who follow.
