INDEX
Some
childhood memories never fade far from the surface. For Emilito
one of these is the stories his parents used to tell about their 1936
trip to Spain. Emilio SIGNES MONFORT, a native of Gata de Gorgos
(Alicante), had not returned home since his 1920 immigration to the
US. His wife Carmen LAGOS BESTEIRO, a native of Havana, Cuba, had
never visited Spain, the home of all her relatives except her parents'
family and that of two of her mother's siblings in Cuba.
Emilito gathered all his mother's letters into a document he
distributed in 1998. The title page for this document is shown
below. To see it in its entirety, click on one of the links above.
