9. I couldn't tell you, but they did well for themselves
until the Revolution of 1910. They were then kicked out by the Villistas. One part of the family moved to the western part of the US and my family moved first to Piedras Negras, Mexico but was later found by more Villistas and kicked out for good. They then moved across the border to Eagle Pass, TX. My great great grandfather died of appendicitis there. My great, great grandmother started a boarding house. Here is a recent picture of it right on the border. You can throw a rock from there and hit the Rio Grande.

And one last pic of my family in front of their house in Piedras Negras, Mexico.
