Martha Dumas de Romano Facebook Post of 2/9/2012 [To see translation, click on "comments" below.]
La razon por que mi padre fue a Europa es que el era gerente en la Curtidora de pieles en Guaymas Casa Fouorcade, y en Europa compraran muchos de los quimicos que se usaban para curtir pieles, el trabajo toda su vida en use llugar desde creo los 14 años ahi se formo, Estaba en Alemania cuando la guerra del 1914 y por su apellido no lo dejaban salir a Mexico , pero probo que era mexicano y yo conservo un documento que le expidieron para poder regresar a Mexico . Ese documento se lo expidieron en el puerto de Hambuergo, Alemania. Si estaba muy joven cuando fue a Europa, y estaba viudo, Duro casado muy poco tiempo su esposa Cuquita Morales murio al dar a luz a un niño murieron los dos Igual que a Graciela esposas de Max. Se caso con mi madre Concepcion Felix Escoboza el año 1919. Como te comento si hizo todo lo posible por indagar sobre tu padre Pierre Julian pero en Marsella de donde el era nativo no pudo encontrar nada, creo que el Frances se vino muy joven cuando era soldado de Maxiimiliano . Mi padre duro viudo 9 años es la razon por que todos lo primos eran mayores que nosotros los Dumas Felix de Guaymas.

English Translation of Martha's post:
The reason that my father [Cruz Dumas] went to Europe is that he was manager at House of Fouorcade skin tanning company in Guaymas. He went to Europe to buy the chemicals needed in the leather tanning process. He worked at this place for most of his life since he was 14 years old. He grew up there. He was in Germany in 1914 when World War I broke out. Because of his last name [a french name?] they wouldn't let him leave to Mexico. He proved that he was Mexican and they let him go. I have the document that he used to prove that his nationality was Mexican. This document was issued to my father in the port of Hamburg, Germany. He was very young when he went to Germany, and he was widowed. He wasn't married very long. His [first] wife, Cuquita Morales, died giving birth. Both the baby and mother died the same as your uncle Max's wife Grace. [My father] married my mother, Concepcion Felix Escoboza in 1919. As I mentioned he made every effort to find out about his father, Pierre Julian, but in Marseilles where [Pierre Julian] was native, he could not find anything. I think that the Frencman was very young when he was a soldier of Maximiliano's. My father [Cruz] did not marry again for nine years and that is why all the cousins in Guaymas are older than us of the Dumas Felix family of Guaymas.

-tanto ni padre Cruiz B. Dumas Uriarte como mi tio Julian Dumas Uriarte nos lo dijeron que el Frances era de Marsella,
[Translation: Not so much my father Cruz B. Dumas Uriarte but my uncle Julian Dumas Uriarte told us that the Frenchman was from Marseilles]
