CANALES

Kathleen Canales

I am looking for information on: Anastacio Canales  I have Anastacio Canales, b. 1849 near mier mex..- immig/naturalized in 1889 or 1877 to TX. He married Librada Guiterrez in Duval county dec.15, 1877. I have their children born: Samuel 1889,Placido 1894, Alfredo 1891, Leopoldo 1895, Jesus or Jesusa 1898, Csau 1899, Antonio 1902, Casemido 1904, jose 1907, Eliza 1897, Glessria 1885. all born in TX.
I have Librada’s death cert, info: place of death is Tienditas Rch, Texas prect. #6 Realtos in Duval county. Place of burial is Tienditas Rch Hebbronville Tx. In 1941. He is not buried in her cemetery or at least there is no stone or space. Other local cemeteries have been searched by foot.
Anastacio was a farmer. Hired son Placido to work. Anastacio possible death is 1924. He is not in the Seaburry papers. Not in ancestry.com parish database.
Placido ( child above) m. Eudilia Elizondo ( this is my husbands line.)  I have found Tx census on all of the above and some death cert.'s but nothing on Anastacio Canales past the 1920 Texas census!
I have this line in Karnes, Webb and Duval counties, Realitos, Hebbronville, Tienditas Ranch, and Laredo, Texas and also in Mier, Mex.. Also associated with Mother Cabrini Church of Laredo.
 Genealogy Angels in any area that might help. Suggestions are welcome! I do not mind sending money for records/copies. I can do inner library loan through the Georgetown Public library in Georgetown Texas. Need Anastacio’s parents and/or siblings.
It is like the line disappears. There are many, many lines of Canales but this one has stumped us all. About 6 people across the US are researching this line so any help you can give us we would appreciate and passed on!
CHAPA 30 Nov 2009 Hiram Garcia Esteban/Estevan Chapa married Eduarda Martinez 12 Sep 1899 in Starr County.  They next appear in the 1900 Duval County (Hebbronville) census, the 1910 Goliad County census, and the 1920 San Patricio County census.  Their children were Regino (1897), Jesus (1901), Augustina (1908), Juliana/Julia (1910), Tomas (1914), and Christobal (1915).
The 1910 census indicates that it is the 2nd marriage for Esteban and the 1st for Eduarda, so I assume it was a civil instead of a church ceremony.
I am wanting to know the names of Esteban Chapa's parents to resolve a "mystery" concerning three different Estaban Chapa's who were in Duval County throughout the 1880/1900 censuses.  There were (1) Esteban Chapa, son of Rafael Chapa and Felicitas Leal who married Refugia Garcia 1883 in Duval County; (2) Esteban Chapa, son of Fermin Chapa and Jesusa Flores who married Cenobia Herrera in Duval County 1887; and (3) Esteban Chapa who married Eduarda Martinez in Starr County.  It is this last Esteban that I am inquiring about.
Descendants of Esteban/Cenobia and the descendants of Esteban/Eduarda believe it is the same Esteban (son of Fermin Chapa and Jesusa Flores).  As far as Esteban/Refugia, Refugia was my grandfather's sister.  And another gentleman I have been in contact with believes it is his grandfather's brother, son of Refugio (Garcia) Chapa and (Maria) Elena Villarreal.
I would appreciate anyone who would volunteer to visit the Starr County courthouse and verify the parents' names to solve this "mystery".  Does not have to purchase any documents - just verify.
CHAPA   [email protected] Hello, I am looking for information on my ancester José Matías Longoria Chapa of Porción 93.  Just to identify out line from Matias to myself, our information goes like this.  Jose Matías married Margarita Hinojosa, who had eight children, a son named Jose Ramon Longoria who married Doña Josefa García; Jose Ramon had a son named Jose Manuel Longoria García who married Doña Ma.

I don't have info on; Jose Angel then had a son named Jose María Longoria who had children, one being my mother Martina Longoria Arvallo, I am Maria Elena Longoria Contreras.  Any information on any of these relatives would be greatly appreciated, especially from Jose Angel date of birth, married whom, death, and the same with Jose Maria, date of birth, whom he married, death information.  I know by my mother that there were at least three sister and one brother, my mother Martina Longoria, Tia Guadalupe Longoria-but went by the name of her step-father Gonzalez, another sister who was possibly Jose Maria's last wife who settled in Sandoval Mexico.  My Tia tells me that one of his daughter's of this last union looks a lot like my mother, guera and colored eyes
CONTRERAS 18 Feb 2005 [email protected]
Simon Contreras is one of my paternal grandfathers. Simon was married to Carmen Tovar. My name is Antonio Barbour and I am researching the Contreras side of my father's family. My father's mother was Bruna Contreras, her father's name was Justo Contreras. I would appreciate any info regarding Simon and Carmen. I believe they were residents of Villa de Carmargo in the late 1700's.  If you have any records or know where I may be able to find the needed data, I would be most grateful.
COX   4/26/99 Sandra Gozales I am looking for a death certificate for a ancestor of mine.   I would like to know the cause of death.   His name is Noah Cox.   Died July, 1882.   Buried in Roma, Texas.  He worked in Brownsville as deputydistrict clerk in about 1873 and commuted to Roma where his family lived. I'd like to know what happened to him.
CRAMER  5/20/99 Linda Foster  I am working on my surname which started with my great-grandfather William Cramer who emigrated
from Prussia/Germany.  As I don't have any dates, I am assuming it was around the 1850s.  He came into the Brownsville/Rio Grande City area via Mexico fleeing the military. He was in the military and guarded the frontier border (I assume the Rio Grande City/Brownsville area). Supposedly, he was married to a woman named Eulogia Vasquez and she was born in that area.  They had four children (to my knowledge):  William(I don't know whether they used JR at that time) (I will call him JR so I can identify each William); Lorenza, Mary/Maria, and Exiquio (my grandfather).To my knowledge, all this took place in the Rio Grande City area: William (JR) married Santos Larralde & had two sons:  Ernest/Ernesto DOB12-16-1907 and Jose DOB 09-16-1910.  William JR was also married to another woman according to the 1920 Census, but I couldn't make out what the name is:  something like Soribia P. de or Doribia P. de. Maria/Mary married Esteban Perez 27 Jan 1904; don't know of her children. f Garcia:  Felipe DOB May 1887; Petra DOB Jan 1889; Vivian (Male) DOB Dec 1890; Jose Maria DOB Aug 1892. Exiquio:  Married Antonia Moya 16 Mar 1901; l daughter:  Graciela Married Maria Clementina Almaraz 20 Jan 1910:  2 sons: Nieves & Ruperto. Married Teresa Perez in a ranch in Hebbronville, but he met her in Falfurrias because her brother, Esteban Perez was married to Maria/Mary Cramer.  Marriage occurred on 20 Aug 1918.  They had lots of children:  Galo, Lucas, Paula, Maximo, Quadalupe/Lupe (she married a Francisco/Pancho Lopez from the Rio Grande City area and now live inHebbronville); Rosa,  Apolonio/Polo, Trancito, Tomasa, Eliseo, andWillie.  Galo, Lucas, and Paula are now deceased.  The others live in Hebbronville; except for Eliseo/Cheo who lives in Bruni. So, I am hoping that there is someone out in the area that knows something about the first William Cramer. Specifically, where and when he was born and even where he was buried. (He was not buried in Brownsville nor Fort Brown.)  The last name has changed to and from Cremar and Kramer.  I would appreciate any information that I can get. Thanks.

They also lived in McAllen and Beeville.

I am searching for any descendants of Juan Guebara married to Rosa Garcia on November 2, 1891 in Rio Grande City. All of their children were born in Rio Grande City.

When Juan died about 1910 the family had moved to another town, unknown. I don't know what happened to the girls, but I was told by an uncle that one of the sisters was killed by her husband, they had children. Rafael went to look for work and was to come back for Luis, when he didn't come back soon Luis went back to Rio Grande City to stay with Ricardo Guevara his grand father for a while when he went back to the unknown town, people there told him that Rafael had come back for him. He never saw his brother again. Luis died in September of 2000

HINOJOSA, ACOSTA Feb 2013 Diana Fox
My family came from Starr County, Texas.  My mother is 93, the last of her generation.  I will become the keeper of the family tradition when she dies, and I have only been able to put together bits and pieces of my family's story. 
My grandfather was Jose' (Joseph) A. Hinojosa born to Jose' ? Louis? Hinojosa and to Rita Acosta Hinojosa.  He was born March 19, 1875 in Roma, Texas. He died Feb. 26, 1945, in St. Louis, Missouri of 2nd and 3rd degree burns.  He was a WWI vet.  
My mother said her father's middle name was Acosta, but his death certificate said his middle name was Angelo.  My mother said her grandfather was Jose' Hinojosa, but her father's death certificate said his father was Louis Hinojosa.  Nothing is known of his father's place of birth or death or of any other family members he might have had.
 
About my great-grandmother, Rita Acosta: Nothing is known of Rita's parents, but family tradition says she came from Barcelona, Spain.  Nothing is known of when or why she came to either Mexico or to the US, or other children she had, or of other brothers and sisters she had.  There are no family stories about either her or her husband.
I saw on your website that someone named Rosa Maria Hinojosa had a land grant.  Was she a relative?   The oldest of the 8 children was a girl named Maria.  Was the family of mixed native American/ Spanish blood?  native Mexican blood?  mixed native Mexican/Spanish blood? My mother and her siblings had light to medium olive skin which tanned easily, black hair and brown eyes, a longish, slender nose.. My grandfather had a slight native American look, but I don't think he was on any registry as native American.
Here is what I do know: Grandfather seldom spoke, and never told stories of his youth or of other family members as far as I know.  He never spoke much English, just Spanish.  He was Catholic.  He came to St. Louis for the World's Fair, met my grandmother, and never left.  He was a brilliant classical violinist who played with the St. Louis Symphony.  He married Florence Russell, a classical pianist,  and had 8 children, 5 of whom lived to adulthood.  The three boys  were professional musicians, and the two girls were singers.  He was friends with Buffalo Bill Cody, who came to visit and party whenever his Wild West show came to St. Louis.  Grandfather was quiet and generous, giving food or money to poor people.  At dinner, the children were always served food first before him.  When Buffalo Bill came to town, he would sometimes disappear for a few days.  He played with the symphony.   A classical violin playing cowboy??

If anyone can give me any (ANY) information, it would be much appreciated! Thank you and God Bless you, Yolanda
