    Ordonez Family

    By RORDONEZ  |  Posted October 22, 2009  |  Glendale, California
     

    My family immigrated to america (Territory of New Mexico) in 1903 from Chihuahua, Mexico.  I have traced my family as far back as 1754.  Since immigrating to america, my family has in all sense of the word assimulated to the american way of life ; however, still mainting their rich mexican tradition. In our family, you have WWI, WWII and Vietnam veterans. We are, as a family, served and continue to serve the american way of life. The attached photo is a picture of my family in Studio City, California in the 1920's before it was the metropolis it is today.
