Dear Carmen:
I was happy to hear from you so fast, I was afraid I would have to wait another 7 months.Another thing we have in common is your daughter being born in May, my son(37) was born on the 6th,and my husband on the 15th, my mother on the 20th however, she passed away in 1978. My fathers name was Manuel Leyva the family called him Tio Mel b:1885 d:1961, Tia Josefa b:1891 d:1971 (she was a half sister I'll tell you about her later.Tia Adela (I dont have much info on her)that why I'm so happy to hear from you.Tia Maria b:1896 d:1971 Tio Juan b:1910d:1995, Tio Erasto (no other info though I met him when I was very little no one was interested in our history at that point in time and we didn't inquire from our folks. Tia Justina b:1897d:1996 Tio Jose though he died in 1972 I have fixed a time of death. As you can see a very large family with large family from each. I would love to have you email me at eratttt@aol.com I would be able to go into more detail. I still have two sisters Bertha 82 she knew your grandmother Clotilde and Irene 71 they were very excited when I told her about you.
Love Your Cousin, Romie
