There were four children who received apparitions of the Blessed Mother in Garabandal:
Note that although three of the girls have the same last name, they were not related to one another. After the apparitions ended and they became adults they went on to lead ordinary lives. Three of them ended up marrying Americans and moving to the U.S.A. and one of them married and moved to another city in Spain.

She had three older brothers, one of whom was Serafín, whose picture we showed earlier. He died in 2000. It was Conchita who visited Padre Pio in San Giovanni Rotondo, and by all accounts, Padre Pio was a great believer in Garabandal. There are reports of him sending a letter to Conchita encouraging her.
