José Cubero believes that the founder of Amazon visited Villafrechós to know their roots, butnot appealed to them and has not come back.”

On this matter Jeff Bezos is not pronounced, as they explain from the company communication Tinkleafter consulting with Seattle, where it has headquarters Amazon.

One of the Bezos of the people is Herminio, whose wife, Gregoria argues that her husband isrelative “live” the founder of Amazon.

“The father of that boy and my husband’s grandfather they were double cousins, although when it came to the people not told us anything,” says this woman, who would love to have contact with them.

on the other hand, Eva, who now lives in Valladolid, maintains a posture very different. Ensures thatis relative, “far-away” the richest man in the world, though he has not had any relationship with him and have not been “bothered” in it, he says.
