That autobiography sounds like it would be very interesting.
Alright here goes, my father's name was Frank, he passed away in 2002. He always told a story about on the day of Dad's christening it snowed so much that Taylor had to shovel a path to the church so Dad could be baptized. He loved telling that story.
This is what I found in the census: 1910 census had Taylor's last name spelled Saam and they had him coming from Turkey/Syria. His wife's name was Sarah. For this census Taylor was 22 and Sarah was 35. I'm guessing Sarah had been married before because there were two sons. One was Wady Michaz,16 and George Michaz 10. They have Taylor and Sarah having come to America in 1900 with George, who was born that year. Sarah's brother Peter Dieb didn't come over until 1903 and he brought Wady with him. Taylor and Sarah had a daugher, Emilia who was 3 month in 1910 and Peter was living with them for this census.
1920 census: Sarah was no longer on this census, Taylor was now married to Mamie Brice (Brico), whose family was from Italy. Now Taylor's last name was spelled Sapp. Taylor was now 30 and Mamie was 23. They listed a 9 year old daughter, Emmalina (who must be Emilia, Sarah & Taylor's daughter) as Taylor and Mamie's daughter. There was also Julia 3 and Ferris 1 1/2. Peter Dieb was no longer living with them and Peter's last name was now spelled Deeb.
1930 census: Taylor and Mamie's family were now living with Mamie's family. Father, Nicola Brice (Brioc) his wife Theresa and Mamie's brother, Michael.
Taylor and Mamie's family now included Julia, Ferris, George, Grace, Estella, Anna and Mary. Emilia was no longer on this census. Taylor's last name was still spelled Sapp.
But in the 1938 Hazleton High School (Janus) year book, George's last name was spelled Sappe. My mother graduated with George.
Our grandfathers must have stayed very close because my father always referred to your aunts and uncles as his "cousins".
I hope this was interesting for you. I found it very interesting reading about people that I had heard about from my father through out the years
