Plot:
I am great nephew to Sixto Flores,
who was (lost-at-sea), on the Tuscania sinking, WWI., and interested in
knowing more of any/everything regarding the sinking of the "Tuscania"
ship. Thanks, any recollection's will be greatly appreciated, as I am
trying to tie some family history into a more intact manner, with a
slight more detail. PS. his two other brothers, Manuel & Pedro Flores,
from Alice, Texas, survived the war, WWI, and returned; but not much is
known of their brother, Sixto Flores. If anyone can add, please do so...
