[edit] Footnotes
- ^ FamilyTreeLegends.com lists him and his brother Carlos born on October 2, 1983 in Los Angeles, California. This database is from the California Birth Index, 1905-1995, Center for Health Statistics, California Department of Health Services, Sacramento, California (see also Ancestry.com). (FamilyTreeLegends.com retrieved and verified on 2006-08-20). Also, the Clark County, NV marriage recorder shows he married Iyari Limon in October 1998. Other sources list a dubious birth year of 1983 [1], which would have made him 15 at the time of his marriage to a woman seven years his senior.
