Staying Connected

The Guel family has touched not only their home neighborhoods, but all of Silicon Valley through their continued service, dedication, and commitment to the community

Silicon Valley

This website was initially developed to keep the descendants of Pablo & Carmen Guel in touch with each other, but over time, it has helped us reconnect with family from all over.

Texas

As the Guel family continues to grow, migrate, and reconnect online, we are reminded of just how powerful the internet can be as a tool to bring us together over and over again, generation after generation.

Here are the last 10 years of volleyball champs… So much fun, all levels and all generations playing in the sun every year together! A definite highlight of the gathering, always! Look closely to see which individuals have made it to the finals most often! ...

Mothers and their sons… Funny story from cousin Sophie about this picture:

When Grandma Licha was sick w her cancer, she asked Angel to look through the sewing magazines to see if she left anything important. Angel sifted through the magazine and saw this photo.

When she found it, she showed Grandma Licha and then at that moment Tia Chelo happened to walk in and had come over for a visit to see Grandma Licha. Angel said it was such a good visit for Licha and Chelo to visit and laugh and share memories. They had been the best of comadres for decades! Angel said is was soooo weird though, as if Grandma Licha knew Tia Chelo was coming to visit at that moment. So connected to one another.

We had never seen this photo until Tia Chelo’s service and will cherish it forever. Joe is in the corner standing and looking at Chelo. Tia Chelo is holding Robert. Licha is holding Johnny and Leonard is standing in between Licha and Chelo.
