Hi, Sylvia..my name is Raul Santana Cristerna Luna, originally from Needles, Ca. My grandfather came here under the same circumstances as your grandpa. My grandpa was Antonio Santana from Jerez, Zac. His real name was Paulino Acuna Cardenas Cristerna. He settled in Needles, Ca. and ran Santana's Market. His first business was a cantina. Could you tell me more about your Rodriquez family in Needles. I had an uncle named Mauro Rodriquez that lived in Needles and settled in Barstow and died there. Seems like there was a Rodriquez family that ran a meat market on Broadway in Needles...Saludos, Raul Luna

We were told they all fled because they were forced to make saddles and other leather goods such as holsters for Pancho Villa's

This is an interesting post. It contains enough history to intrigue

Thank you Rose,

Rancho Jabonera, Nochistlan, Zacatecas is where my mother-in-law was born.
It would be nice to have a book that references that area. I'll place my
order with George.

Hello,

I´m interested in buying some of the borderlands bookstore titles, but I live in Mexico and don´t know if they sell to Mexico, or just in the US. Do you have any idea about this?
