  • Notes 
    • Bonifacia Mujica came to the USA from LeHavre, France on LA PROVENCE ship leaving France on 5 October 1912 and arriving at Ellis Island on 12 October 1912. Her brother, Agustin, also accompanied her. They went to Fullerton, CA to live with heher sister, Juanita Bastanchury. She attended Marywood School in Anaheim to learn to read and write, then went to San Juan Capistrano to work for Cornelio Echenique and then married. Cornelio Echenique was a son of the family she had worked for in Dancharinea, Urdax. In fact, Juanita Mugica Bastanchury worked at that house, Errecaldenea, for four years before leaving to come to the USA. When Tia Juanita left Bonifacia took her place for the next four years before she left. When Bonifacia left then Tia Francisca Mugica took her place and worked there for 8 years.
