This negative envelope says, “Mrs M J Nappi, 195 Pearl St #1003.”
Why I believe this to be the individual.
• The 1937 Portland City directory lists Michael J and Georgia Nappi living at 175 Pearl.
• The 1940 US Census lists Michael and Georgia Nappi living in Canandaigua, Ontario County, New York. Living with them is his six-year-old step-son, Donald Lowell.
• Ancestry Trees suggest Michael Joseph Nappi had a daughter, Joan Josephine Nappi with Lydia Josephine Zezotarski on 3 September 1930 in Portland, Maine. In 1940, she was living with her aunt and uncle Antonio and Antoinette Scala at 28 Dalton Street, Portland, Maine.
• Ancestry Trees also suggest that Georgia Mae Nappi (née Gregory) had been married to Ernest W Lowell. They had a son, Donald William Lowell on 21 November 1933.
I am sure these photos are of Joan Josephine Nappi (b. 3 Sep 1930) and her step-brother, Donald Lowell about 1936, before Michael, Georgia, and Donald moved to New York.
