- Born in Mexico City, Miguel left his mothers home at and very early age to come to the
United States. While working in Albuquerque, New Mexico Miguel rented a room over the shoe shop of his new and
good friend Jesus Paiz. Living over Jesus's shop Miguel soon would fall in love with Maria Santos Paiz, wife of
Jesus. Because Jesus felt that Miguel was not a good enough suitor for his daughter, Miguel was soon to fall out
of favor with Jesus. It was then that he would take Maria and Elope to California.

- While traveling with her husband through out the South West, Maria raised fifteen children
(ten girls and five boys). It wouldn't be till the late nineteen sixties that Maria and her husband would finally
come to permanently settle down in one town. Here in Los Angeles Maria would live surrounded by her many children
grandchildren and great grandchildren and for her that would be as perfect as it gets.
