7:24 This is José "Pepe" Figueres Ferrer, Costa Rica's former president. This picture is from Richard Nixon's visit to Costa Rica in 1955 when they visited a banana plantation.

A "labrador" is the owner of the land and administrates the property. This is different from a "jornalero" that works the land but doesn't own it. If you use United States a s a reference you might think that owning land is unimportant but that land-ownership had to be approved directly by the colonial government in Spanish colonies. Only a land owner could afford to pay for education.
Having 15 children at the time assured that some of them would survive to help the family business.

I remember seeing this and America finds out she descends from a prominent Spanish Honduran family that consisted of Honduran presidents and land owners dating back to the 16th century.
It’s weird because the majority of us Central Americans can never get that far in genealogy unless we are from the rich 1%, which America is from. I’ve noticed every Central American celebrity (very few, as well) descend from these prominent families. Unfortunately I guess it makes sense since they would have the money to immigrate anywhere (legally).

Love this program. Got me trying to make my own tree. Unfortunately I didn't get far on my mom's side for the same reason. It is nearly impossible to find records from Nicaragua. It is also such a country, with a history of political instability. It is a shame. Mom told me about her mother being orphaned at age of 8. Her mother got beaten to death by her drunk boyfriend. My grandma and her two sisters were split up and sent to live with different families. They never sent her to school, she became their maid. Also my grandma was told that her grandfather was from Spain. I have not been able to verify that either. It would have been nice to find out more. But these countries are just not good a record keeping like other countries, unfortunately.
