I am a descendant of Jose Manuel Higuera. Higuera were part of 1774 expedition. They were from Villa de Sinaloa. Later, about 1777 they were early settlers. My great grandmother Alta Gracia Higuera was born at Tres Pinos , Alta California, Mexico in 1840 and died at Tres Pinos, California, U.S.A. in 1946. She was 106 when she died. I was 7 years old in 1946. In Woodland, California there are hundreds of descendants of Alta Gracia Higuera. If any family or other folks that have knowledge of this part of the Higuera family read this, please e-mail me at apodaca@pacbell.net . I would like very much to speak with you. I am trying to finish a book I am working on concerning the family's historic past and and its modern day American history. [Arthur J. Apodaca, J.D. (nonmember), Guinda, Calif.]
