We Are Cousins Has Started a Membership Site!

Moises Garza | April 8, 2013 | COMMENTS:No Comments »

I am super exited to announce today that We Are Cousins is now a membership site. It is my intention with this post to provide you with more information about it.

The Reason

For the past year and a half I have been providing you with posts on various topics concerning South Texas and Northeastern Mexico Genealogy. I have also been getting more involved with online businesses requiring more of my time. It was either focus more on those other activities and shut this blog down or turn We Are Cousins into part of  my business and I opted to keep it going. I will be honest with you, it is my intention to generate money with this blog and at the same time continue to provide you with free as well as paid content. Read the rest of this entry >>

Lauro Garza Marroquin

Moises Garza | April 7, 2013 | COMMENTS:No Comments »

Lauro Garza Marroquin was born in June 8, 1944 to Eulalio Garza Lopez and Dominga Marroquin Gonzalez. He is the third of six children.

Chances are that you have never heard about him and you will probably not hear about him from anyone other than me, Moises Garza, his fourth son. He is not famous, or rich. He is only a man that has lived and is still living his life. Whose only legacy, will be those he will leave behind. A legacy that we all should be thanking our parents for, since that legacy is us and has been the one of our ancestors as well. No other legacy will endure the millennial as this one has and will continue to endure. It is important to talk about him to better understand that men and woman like him have contributed a lot and are contributing to society without being seen or named, since a person’s life no matter how great or small will forever resonate.
