familia sorola

Starting in 1922 with my grandmother, Margarita, Gilberto Morado Sorola (1893 - 1978) and Leonor Longoria Gonzalez (1903-1998) had eight children. Five of these children survived infancy and had children, grandchildren, and some, great-grandchildren. Today much of the family remains in San Antonio. In early June I traveled there for mi abuelita's 92nd birthday and met some of these cousins for the first time.
