Last Names of Nuevo Leon

A week ago I received an email from Alfredo Cardenas inquiring on how to go about getting some documents form Star county. Fortunately, I was able to help him with that. I wish that was the case with everyone that contacts me, but I digress. In that email he also mentioned that he had just started a blog titled Soy de Duval which focuses on the Early History of Duval County, Texas.

I just wanted to share his blog with you all since the articles that he has posted are very interesting and informative, not to mention that they are great reads. I am sure his blog will be of great interest to all that are from, or researching families in, this county.

If your counties of interest are neighboring Duval County you might also want to check Alfredo’s blog since he does mention them on his posts.

  1. Excellent blog. It’s wonderful to see this county’s historical events written with a positive flair. I was born in Duval and am proud of it’s history – good or bad. Keep up the good work. Your articles are great not just your blog but in The South Catholic. By the way, my gr-great grandfather, Antonio Maria Palacios, donated the land where the Catholic Church now sits in Concepcion, Texas.

  2. Mr. Cardenas has done a excellent job of historical research. I found very interesting material on my great grandfather, Benito Gonzalez Garcia brother to Tomasa Gonzalez Garcia. Margaret Garcia
