This is my 3rd great grandmother (Eloisa). She was a very affluent Hispanic woman, or at least her mother was, and therefore she became. She married my third grade grandfather who was Edward Gibbs and my grandfather’s name is also Edward Gibbs and they are buried next to each other in a cemetery in Los Angeles. Third grade grandfather Gibbs was a congressman and one of the first people to engineer the original infrastructure in Los Angeles. I love being able to visit our family Rucas, there’s not very many people that can say that.
