Volume 1 – José
José and Josy began this endeavor by compiling stories about José’s ancestry and early life through his return from the army in 1946. It was published in 1995. The introduction states:
"This is a work of fiction. It is fiction because we do not have affidavits or legal documents to support many of the statements we make or our genealogical charts. It is a work of fiction because a great deal of the material is based upon our memories of incidents that occurred many, many years ago. It is a work of fiction because several of the accounts were passed on to us by people who themselves only heard (or claimed to have heard) them from other people, and these other people were not actually present but, again, claimed to have heard the accounts from relatives or good friends."
