John and Bertha Sositko
Jan "John" and Bronislawa Rosalia "Bertha Rose" (Zlatykanicz) Sositko 'Susitko' in the 1930's or 1940's in Hamilton, Butler County, Ohio. They were married in Hamilton, Ohio in December 1908 (between Christmas Day and New Year's Eve). John and Bertha were both born in Muszyna, Poland. John was born in 1882, the son of Stephen Susitko 'Stephanus Susidko' and Marianne Makowicz. Bertha was born in 1883, the daughter of Peter 'Piotr' 'Petrus' Zlatykanicz and Apolonia F. Chmielowska. John and Bertha were Catholic and they were members of St. Joseph's Parish in Hamilton, Ohio. They're buried in St. Stephen's cemetery.
Several family members (descendants of four of their children) has this same exact picture of John and Bertha.
I have a copy of an audio tape of John talking in English with family members and singing songs in Polish on Christmas Day, December 25, 1962. One of the songs he sings sounds like the Christmas song called Gloria in Excelsis Deo.

She also remembers her grandfather singing along with the song Blue Velvet (or Blue on Blue) but he may have heard Bobby Vinton singing the song on TV or radio before the album was released because her grandfather died by May 1963.
