Ray/Sonora/Barcelona....Kearney

[ed romero]

Hello by chance I ran into a wopman born in Ra Arizona today at the Winco Grocery store in Federal Way, Wa.
Her name has slipped my mind. We talked and discovered we were born in the same area. I was born in Barcelona, while she was born in Ray.
If anyone has pictures of Barcelona please post them. I have none and nothing remains of the times when I lived in Barcelona as a child.
I know someone in Kearney had a website that had photos of both Ray and Sonora some time back.
If any one has knowledge of other websites of Kearney where others post their photos of the region please point me to them.

This is too coincidental, I used to live in WA, I know exactly where Winco Store is, I used to shop there also. In 2006, we moved back to Kearny, AZ where we bought a house & my husband works for ASARCO. If you just type in Ray-Sonora on your seach engine it will come up with a few websites of Ray/Sonora/Barcelona & photos too!

There was a book, I believe the Authors last name was Olmos~ The Book is titled "For The Love of Ray, Sonora,Barcelona" Incredible Story of the History of the 3 mining towns,complete with photos. I purchased a copy years ago at the Kearney General Inn.

If anyone is interested, I started a Ray, Sonora, and Kearny memories group on Facebook, I've put in alot of pictures there that I have found, and some others also. Unfortunately, I have never seen a picture of Barcelona. If you are on Facebook, just type in Ray, Sonora, and Kearny and you will find it. I still have a Kearny page on the web, but haven't updated it for awhile. I do plan to update it soon, so that those without facebook can see all the pics that are accumulating.

We moved to Kearny in 1970 when I was two years old, about 10 years after the demise of Ray and Sonora. My dad still works at the mine, and knows some people who lived and were born in Ray and Sonora.

I was born in Ray, Arizona. I am looking for documents and pictures of St. Helen's Catholic Church in Ray, Arizona where I was baptized and confirmed. I love history.

I now live in Los Angeles, Ca.
Thank you.
