From the Mexican-American wing of my family, my niece's husband Roberto is 42 and his biological sister Jeanette is 20. Their father emigrated to Texas from Mexico in the early 80's as a migrant farm worker. Their mother wasn't able to gain entrance to the U.S. until the late 1990's. My entire family is Catholic.
I knew an older couple (now deceased) who were also migrant workers in the 80's and friends of Roberto's parents. When they were in their late 40's, they adopted the baby of another migrant worker, who was unmarried, a close friend, and died in childbirth. The baby was named Santos, who today is 44. His older siblings are in their late 60's and early 70's.
Winthrop could easily have been the child of a close friend or relative of Mrs. Paroo. She could have disclosed the child's origin to the denizens of River City or she could have chosen not to. I think that would have been quite possible at the turn of the century. |
