First picture is my Great Great Grandfather Abraham Marcelino De Avila, he was a Methodist Minister in Mexico (Born 1869 died 1961)
Our family came with Cortes.
His father(Felix De Avila) started one of the first Methodist Churches in Mexico, it started in his house and eventually built the Methodist church that is still standing in Miraflores. Abraham pushed for freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and Education. He started "Hijos De Hidalgo" a school in Miraflores. He also helped 30+ towns receive communal farming land from the government. He played a big part of the revolution, and I have more pictures of him at some of the big churches in Mexico city as well at the "Templo De Metodista" in Nuevo Leon during a revolution day parade.
He was and still is a very prominent figure to many people in Mexico according to the people who have reached out to me via facebook after posting these pictures.
He wanted to give his son a different name but his wife said "He was going to be given a mexican name" so she grabbed him and brought him to the church and named him Carlos.
Carlos became a Pastor in Gallup, NM. Springfield, VT. Holyoke, MA. And Franklin, CT. There's a few other churches but I can't recall
Some more history, Carlos told me when I was very young that he met Emiliano Zapata when he was a child.
