Juan Candelaria, from Rincoln
It is quite possible that the last child on your list is my grandfather. I believe he did live in California at one time, before crossing the country and residing out his life in New York. He was married to Irene (italian) and they had three children, John, Willie and Danny, and then they adopted another child a bit younger than the others, also named John. It is this John who is the father of the former Pittsburg Pirates pitcher, John Candelaria. I am trying to find out more on this family as well. I knew my uncles save for John the younger...John the elder was my father. He passed in March of 1989.
Juan died in the early '70's. I have a reel of movie film of him with our family in California after my youngest brother Joey was born. He is holding Joey in our backyard. (Oakland, I believe)
Hope this helps!
