I'm curious about Olmos.

I know he was born and raised in LA but what about his Family?

Did they move to LA in the 1940s like a lot of other Mexican immigrants or has his family been here since before the Mexican War or somewhere in between?

Couldn't find any information on it but I did find something interesting.

Olmos mom was honored as the "Grandmother of the year", "Mother of the year", and Woman of the year" plus a bunch of commendations from the state and city. Can read the article here with a bit of their family history:
