The Bravo family story starts with the Doane Family. There were 4 sisters: Georgia,  Elizabeth, Grace and Clarice and 3 brothers: George, John and Francis. This is where  the story gets a little confusing. Francis was Jean's biological father, Jean's  mother is unknown. Jean was born in Chicago. It is not known whether Jean's mom died  or just left her with her father. Francis was unable to care for Jean so his sister  Clarice and her husband Frank Cuido adopted her thus the name Jean Francis Cuido. The  only thing Jean remembers about her dad is that he was mean. At some point in time he  remarried and had a son. So Jean has a half brother somewhere. Clarice and her  husband Frank divorced and Jean had to live with her Aunt Georgia and her husband  Bill Secora. By the time Jean was 3yrs old she moved from Chicago to Connecticut to  Troy NY. She lived in Troy until the 6th grade (approx 11yrs old). Around this time  Clarice remarried and took Jean with her to live in Phoenix, Az. They then moved to  Peach Springs, Az on route 66 between Kingman and Seligman Az. Her step father owned  a cafe in Peach Springs on RT66 (The Comacho Cafe). It was here that she met her  husband Juan Bravo. 
 They were married in Kingman Az (date unknown). Juan's father was born in Mexico and  his mother was born in California near Fresno her name is unknown. He had 3 brothers:  Fernando, Bobby & Phillip and 2 sisiters: Isabel & Juana. Jeans's first five children  were born in Arizona (John, Stella, Phyllis, Phillip and Canda). Early in 1953 they  moved to San Bernardino Ca and later that year Cathy was born followed by Jim, Frank,  Debbie, David and Raymond. Jean and her family moved very often mostly in Chino.

This narrative is thought to be correct but date's and names have faded over time.
