Site
This Web site was launched on the 5 May 2001.
The initial purpose for this Web site was to help the Manuel José Committee
promote the 2001 - 2002 family reunion. It is envisaged that the site will
grow and expand as a news and information tool for family members.
This site is designed and managed by Fieri Solutions - the intelligent
solution.
