Volume Three of Families of Salinas Victoria, Nuevo Leon, Mexico

Moises Garza | March 28, 2013 | COMMENTS:No Comments »

Just wanted to let you know that I received earlier today the following email by Crispin Rendon.

Email:

This email is going out to everyone in my genealogy address book. There is no need to respond.

I have posted another volume online. Find a link below.

Families of Salinas Victoria, Nuevo Leon, Mexico Volume Three

http://home.earthlink.net/~nemexfh/sv3.pdf

This week, while doing research for additional Families of Santiago Nuevo Leon volumes, I came across something I had never seen before. I would like to share it with you here in a narrative form.

Maria Antonia Juana Flores Abrego was baptized on July 17, 1821 in Santiago, Nuevo Leon.

She was the oldest of three born to Pedro Flores Abrego and Maria Gertrudis Vallejo.

Pedro had been married before to Maria Josefa Lopez. Maria Gertrudis had seven children from her earlier marriage to Trinidad Prieto. After the death of Pedro, Maria Gertrudis marries a third time to Jose Angel Martinez and had a daughter with him.

This is where the story returns to Maria Antonia Juana Flores Abrego.  Five months after her mother Maria Gertrudis Vallejo dies, Maria Antonia (age 18) marries her Step-father Jose Angel Martinez. They had been granted a dispensation to marry.

Best Regards,

Crispin Rendon

Articles and Books by Richard G. Santos That You Should Read

Moises Garza | March 20, 2013 | COMMENTS:No Comments »

Last month Alfredo Gutierrez made me aware of the passing of Richard G. Santos. Unfortunately I had never heard about Mr. Santos until I received that email from Alfredo. I quickly made a Google search and read more about Mr. Santos. Now I wish I would have had heard about him earlier and to have had an opportunity to exchange emails.  His articles are excellent and I thought that you should read them. Since I know you will find them very informative and his articles will bring the times that our ancestors lived into context. The following are just a few articles out of thousands that he wrote and a few books of the 37 that he wrote.

Some Articles by Richard G. Santos:

The following are some books that he wrote:

I highly recommend that you do a Google search to read more about Mr. Santos and also find more of his articles to read.
