Alicia, that was really nice, and these are the same feelings I have
when researching. Every little tidbit of new information about my
ancestors gets me motivated.

Wow Alicia you made me wipe a "gotita de cada ojo." What a wonderful
group of thoughts, words and love you'll have for your children,
grandchildren and their children to read days far from now. I'm honored
to have been mentioned and so happy you joined us in this journey we
started together so long ago. together we have seen the group grow and
now with Arturo's magic the group has grown beyond what was possible
with the old technology.

thank you for you support and for playing such an important role of
nurturing the new members just starting their search. Your love and care

flows from each message.

Never forget you have a good friend so far away in North Carolina,

joseph

Eventually you will see that the combination of each baby step propels
you to those leaps and bounds that are oh so exciting.

They all immigrated to the US about 1917. The families first settled in
Peachsprings, Arizona and then permanently in Needles, CA. Ofcourse over
time the first generation has passed away and most descendants now live
in other parts of California, Nevada and Arizona and Washington state.
