Our New Media staff assisted the families with scanning images and digitizing video to create personal family web pages. View the completed family albums.
About the show:
This heartwarming drama reveals the enduring strength of family in America today as it chronicles the lives of the Gonzalez family of East Los Angeles.
Jess Gonzalez (Edward James Olmos), a Mexican-American barbershop owner, is the patriarch of the Gonzalezes: Berta (Sonia Braga), his wife of many years, and their grown children, Nina (Constance Marie), Esteban (Esai Morales), Vangie (Rachel Ticotin), Conrado (Kurt Caceres) and Cisco (A.J. Lamas). The extended family includes flamboyant Aunt Dora (Raquel Welch), Jess' sister. Together, they form an American family living through the universal struggles and triumphs of daily domestic life.
