                <text>Jose Sebayan Reyes was born in 1903 in the municipality of Luna, in the province of  La Union, Ilocos Norte in the region of the Philippines. He traveled to the United States in 1929 and began to work in the agricultural industry. He migrated throughout California to areas such as Stockton, the Salinas Valley, and Watsonville following lettuce, string beans, and other crops. After World War II, Jose returned to the Philippines where he met Tecla Asuncion Reyes. Tecla was born in 1924 and was also from the municipality of Luna, in the province of  La Union, Ilocos Norte in the region of the Philippines&#13;
&#13;
Tecla and Jose married in 1952. They returned to the United States and lived in Salinas, CA where they had two children: Joe Reyes (b. 1953) and Ted “Teddy” Reyes (b. 1954). The Reyes family moved to Watsonville and lived first in a labor camp at Porter Ranch before moving to another camp on San Andreas Road. Jose and Tecla worked as sharecroppers for Reiter Berries on San Andreas Road. In Watsonville, they had three more children: Raymondo Reyes (b. 1956), Roland Reyes (b. 1959), and Elizabeth Reyes (b. 1963- d. 1999). &#13;
&#13;
The Reyes family bought a house on Hillcrest Road in 1968, but Tecla and Jose continued to work in the Reiter berry fields. After Jose retired in 1970, Tecla became a foreman and supervised the work crews. Jose passed away in 1984 and Tecla passed in 1999. &#13;
&#13;
The Reyes Family Collection was donated to Watsonville is in the Heart in 2022 by Tecla's and Jose's sons, Joe, Ted, and Roland. It contains eight photographs of the Reyes family from the 1940s through the 1960s. &#13;
