Note: Victoria's birthday was always celebrated on January 17th. However, the Birth Certificate lists the date as February 7th. The reason for the discrepancy is unknown.

Manuel remarried to a Theresa Couvillion; there were no children from that marriage. Upon her death in 2012, I was able to locate one of Theresa's relatives who graciously provided me with Manuel's photograph album, the source of most of his pictures below.
