Hola! Ms. Meza. My name is Robert
Amavisca Leon,
Phoenix,
Arizona. My tata's name was
Colonel Simon Amavisca. According to family he was from Sonora Mexico, had a brother(don't know his name) anyway. What I hear from long ago, is that my tata came over from Mexico after the war. He worked in the ranchos in
Tolleson,
Arizona. I did find out that we're kind of related to a family in Buckeye,
Arizona but they spell their name Amabisca. My mom use to say that she had cousin in
Heber,
Arizona (son hueros and tall men). We still have family in
Hermosillo, Sonora..(One of my mom's cousin in law was the
Police Chief in Hermosillo< and they also had a rancho there) some in Mexico City. My cousin David who works with me here says that we have cousin's in
LAA. I know of one who's name is Elizar
Amavisca who owns and operates an Air Conditioning firm in
LAA. ..In
Phoenix, we have one cousin who is a police detective for the city (Richard
Amavisca). And it's funny, that all my brothers and uncles followed in my tata's footsteps (military), there all out but live here in
Phoenix. My two tia's Manuela
Amavisca Rosales and Frances Amavisco
Garcia and one uncle
Simon Amavisca are still alive. There is one I'll call him tio (Joe Amabisca) who lives in Buckeye
Arizona is still alive he own a restuarant
LA Placita. I know that there is some Amavisca's in Tucson
Arizona. My mom also told me that we were also related somehow to the Conde/Acosta family (?). If you like you can contact me via this email
Rleon@azdes.gov (602) 231-9218..David and I were talking about this the other day, he says that his sister is doing a chart. My brother George
Amavisca Leon (he's in the phone book -Phoenix)has a chart too..but David said his cousin's (Amavisca's) were trying to have a family reuion in California..I have to go as I'm at work...The phone number is work...
