Charles Genasci Family

I've "rescued" an old family photograph of the Charles GENASCI Family of Nevada City, CA which was taken at the C. Uberto Studio in San Francisco, CA. Family members are named as follows:

Front row left to right - Fritz, Charles Jr., William, and Henry GENASCI
Back row left to right - Florence, Josephine, Mr. Charles GENASCI, Mary, Annie, Mrs. GENASCI, Fred, and Carrie GENASCI

The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's and is framed in a traditional frame which appears to date back to that time. Those pictured in the photograph range in age from about 4 years to parents in their 40’s. Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding this family:
