On her father’s side, Briana is the granddaughter of Ralph Milan Evigan (the son of George Evigan and Iona Harris) and Barbara Elizabeth. George was born in New Jersey, to New Jersey-born parents, George Eveigan and Pheebe Helen Suydam. Iona was also born in New Jersey, to New Jersey-born parents, Clark Champion Harris and Ellen R. Freeman. It is likely that Barbara Elizabeth, Briana’s grandmother, is of Polish descent.
On her mother’s side, Briana is the granddaughter of Ralph Beniamino Serpe, a producer (the son of Dominic F. Serpe/Serpi and Concetta Constantin Saraceni) and Jane Johnstone (the daughter of Samuel B. Johnstone and Ethel G.). Ralph was born in Maine, to Italian parents.
