The pioneering. enterprising. freedomloving Geracesi comprised of all nationalities in all walks of life depict the story of America. At the turn of the century when the tides of immigration reached American shores.-many Geracesi settled in the Passaic area. others trekked westward to Colorado. Texas. and California. Today. hundreds of descendants of the original arrivals and the founders are still to be found in the north Jersey area and there are thus more Geracesi living in New Jersey than in the historic village in Sicily.
