The Artisan

Following the recap on my 3rd-great-grandmother Dolores Quijada, I turn to her husband, my 3rd-great-grandfather Jose de Jesus Diaz. He was born in March 1841, and was a son of Jose Jesus Dias and Maria Dolores Preciado. He was baptized on 10 March 1841 and his full name was Jose de Jesus Macario Dias.
