Hi, Welester,

Yes, I did mention that the Col. Palmarin had shared the archivo address with a member of our group.

I told them the names and birthdates and birthplaces of my grandfather, his brother, and their brother-in-law, and mentioned that they had left Jerez in 1913. That is all I know. I don't know if they were Revolutionaries or Federales, nor what battles they fought except it was around Jerez. I mentioned that the reason they left was because they had been scheduled to be executed by a rifle squad. I know through a cousin that they were officers of some kind, but they never spoke to their children about what happened during the Revolucion.

I'll let you know what they say, if they find anything,

Thanks again,

Emilie

Hi Emile ,

You were right to send the e-mail , make sure that you put as much info as you can to get better results . When I sent my mail I put it to ¨TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN ¨ AQUEIN LE RESPONDE ¨

It took approximately a few weeks and then I was sent information on my dad , it came signed by a general . I thought that was a nice touch .

My friend Tte. Col Ricardo Raul Palmerin is the person who passed me this site . It couldn´t hurt that you mention his name in your request . ( Me paso este direcion el Tte.Col. Ricardo Raul Palmerin )

Good luck ,

Welester
