Our Stories: Honoring Family Legacy, Journey, and Stories
Sunset Library
Local author Albert Monreal Quihuis shares his family history in a unique presentation that will inspire you to research your own family stories!
In Mexico, the Revolution had begun; in Arizona, the Roosevelt Dam was completed, and it became the 48th state; and in Europe, World War I was looming. Thousands of families left Mexico for the United States. Did they leave because of the war or to seek new opportunities? This is a story of a descendant’s search for his family’s journey to Arizona, connecting their lost stories, discovering their contributions, and honoring their legacy.
