I am very proud to be a descendant of these strong, proud people. I admire the strength of their character and hope that I can live up to their standards.

It is my desire that these admirable people not be forgotten. As long as they are alive in someone's memory, they will never truly die.

This page is dedicated to my father, don Thomas Robert Chaves, who shared with me his pride in his ancestors. He sparked my enthusiasm in searching for my past by feeding me little bits throughout my life. I am grateful to him for his help [on-going from heaven] in "digging up" my Cháves, Sánches, Aragón, Durán, Montoya, Apodaca, Durán y Cháves, Silva, Padilla, Romero, Baca, Lucero de Godoy, Lovato, García and all my other families.

Gracias a todos mis antepasados que hicieron mí lo que soy hoy.
