My name is Tony Leon, and this web site is an attempt to briefly share information about my family roots as a 9th generation
Angelino. Since the summer of 2004, I've been learning a lot about Los Angeles history as well as my own heritage
as a descendant of an original settler of the city, founded in 1781. It has been a labor of love unlocking
doors to the past that seem to define who I am today. I hope you will be inspired by your visit.

Acknowledgments
I dedicate this site to my cousin Felix who tried to get me involved with this back in 1981 during LA's bicentennial
year, to my children Anthony and Alexandra, to my wife Teresa for indulging me in my endeavor of exploring
my roots, and to the native peoples of these lands and their descendants who paid the ultimate price for the privileges
we all share as Californians today.
