I am part of that Rael family on my mom's side. My grandmother(QUIRINA RAEL) died almost 4 years ago at the ripe old age of 103. Our family ranch is in La Cienega new Mexico just outside of Santa Fe. My brother Ken has done a family tree and his # is 505-455-2144 or you can go to Questa New Mexico and there is a little tiny store called Rael's market and they are my cousins and also have a family tree album right at the store. Have fun looking into this. Our Rael family history in the the area dates back 400 years. See ya! Bob M.
