Immigrant Secrets -- with Author John Mancini

What if family stories from one side of your family just didn't exist? In this episode of Black Sheep Family History, Janet Hall Werner interviews author John Mancini, whose deeply personal book Immigrant Secrets: The Search for My Grandparents unravels a hidden family mystery that spans generations. What began as a simple genealogical search became a years-long quest to uncover the truth about his grandparents — two people who seemed to vanish in the 1930s, leaving behind silence, shame, and secrets. Join us as John shares the discoveries, detours, and emotional impact of tracing a story that was never meant to be told. 📘 John Mancini’s book: Immigrant Secrets: The Search for My Grandparents — is available on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Immigrant-Secrets-Search-My-Grandparents-ebook/dp/B09JB1745Z/ref=sr_1_1 [https://www.amazon.com/Immigrant-Secrets-Search-My-Grandparents-ebook/dp/B09JB1745Z/ref=sr_1_1], and wherever else books are sold.
