I want to start with Harry Jacobson , Starting with My Great Great Grandpa. He was originally born in Sonora, Mexico, and immigrated to Arizona as an adult to start a family. He met my Great Great Grandma (Theresa) when he moved to the U.S. Harry Jacobson worked in The Mines in Arizona, Bisbee a tiny town until he unfortunately got deported when my Nana (Mary Vasquez) was about 5 years old. We don't know much about him except what my Nana explained before she died. He was very kind-hearted man and never gave up his dream to care for his family.

The obstacles my family had!

Back in the 1900s, My family was very poor where they lived in Arizona, Bisbee. Much of my family such as my Great-grandparents (Mary Vasquez and Adolfo Vasquez) worked every day and it was hard financially since they were only teenagers and had 7 children. Though they had their struggles, My family managed to make a better life for their children. That's why I am still here with a supporting family me in whatever.

What was going on at the time?

During the time, from the 1800s to the 19000s Arizona had just became a State instead of a territory. In Arizona mining had became a very popular industry which My Great Great Grandpa worked in as well. Though the mining industry was doing well, most of Arizona had not yet been developed as it nowadays. There was barely any transportation, the way that most people got around was from donkeys.
