Gosh, I’m sorry I thought you were Luis’s wife, your his daughter! So sorry, Fran.

Please do! I have the pictures on my computer right now! Just tell me where to send them. I have so much information, and I want to learn more about my family. I am so happy to hear from you! So are we distant cousins? Your name is Fran, right?
I live in Santa Cruz, California. The beach is on one side of me and the mountains on the other.
I use to visit my grandmother every summer. I am trying to find out about my aunt Pearl, as the story goes when the US Marshals came in the middle of the night (my grandmother was in Nogales) they dragged the five children out of the house and set it on fire, Pearl started screaming and they put her in an asylum, where she died at the age of 21.
I need to hear everything about the Boca Float.
Send me your email so I can send you a picture of your great grandmother and father.

Theresa,
It appears from what you have said that we have the same great grandmother! How neat. I will send you my email privately. I would love to see the pictures. The books might be in libraries in Arizona or you could go to the Arizona Historical Society in Tucson. God bless.

Mike is doing better and I thank you for your prayers. He had a rough time of it, but I believe he is out of the woods.

I don’t know if you are interested but I do have pictures of Gregoria and her husband, also of their daughter Pastoria aka Amelia Gastellum. I have Gregoria’s marriage certificate signed by her mother and Santiago’s mother and the priest that married them. Could I get the books you recommended at a public library?

Hi Fran! We’ll keep a good eye on him if he is well enough to travel to Austria for Thanksgiving. – Andy

My great grandmothers name is Gregora Ochoa! How wonderful to hear from you. I have a picture of Gregora and her husband. If you could send me your email address I could send the picture of them to you. I also have a picture of my uncle Tommy Parish who has an uncanny resemblance to your husband. Please this is so very important to my family.
Love Theresa
