This is a photo of my grandmother, Mary Esteban Peres, with her four children, in 1933. She left Spain in 1912/13 with her parents and brother, and went to Hawaii to work in the sugarcane/pineapple plantations. They came to California in 1916/17 and settled in Oakland, until coming to Stockton in the early 1920s. She met and married Cirilo Juanitas in 1924 and raised 4 children, until her untimely death in 1935 during childbirth. We had a chance to visit her birthplace in Spain in 1996 and the birthplace of my great grandparents. Spain was a nice place to visit.
