Jose Martin Garza Garcia is my great-great-grandfather on my paternal side. Unfortunately I don’t have much information about Martin and I am currently researching him further. The only thing I have been able to find was his baptismal record on FamilySearch. According to an informal interview with my uncle Horacio Garza he stated that both Martin and his wife are buried in the Cemetery of Los Trevinos, Miguel Aleman, Tamaulipas, Mexico but I have not been able to find their graves. I still have to search the Cemeteries in Mier and El Nogalito to be completely sure that I may never find their graves.

Note: The above information comes from FamilySearch, Ricardo Salinas, and my uncles Horacio Garza and aunt Amelia Garza (both brother of my father Lauro Garza Marroquin). Also keep in mind that there may have had been more children but these are the only ones I have found since snippets of their lives were documented.
