General Notes
- Secretly Married
  Added by Gloria Chuhy (Dana) on 8 Nov 2007
  My mother was not born in Tunisia. She and my father were secretly married. I believe she was sixteen at the time. She wore her wedding ring on a chain around her neck so nobody would know. Her mother, a stoic, stern woman, found the ring and severely beat her. It was then that my father and mother moved to Tunesia. The had a mud hut built and had to wait for days for the mud to dry before they could move in. I do believe Marseilles was my mothers birth place. My sister Millie and my brother Art were born in TunesiaRichard Dana Feb 14, 2005
  
  Secrets
  Added by CharmaineDAnna on 10 Nov 2007
  What a romantic story, and only one of countless secrets kept by the D'Anna/Dana family. It's nice they were able to share most of this family history later on. Our generation loves to work hard to unravel the secrets the older generation wove so tightly. I know Zio Julio and Zia Felicia were a loving couple all their lives, an example of a great marriage. It appears that a rough beginning doesn't hurt a marriage a bit.
