| CHAPA | 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. |

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.

| COX | Apr 1999 | Sandra Gonzales | 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 | May 1999 | 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. |

| EMMON | sandcengle | I am looking for any information on my great grandparents on my grandfather's side. The only information I have is my great-grandfather's name was Frank Emmon and he either ran or owned a ranch in Rio Grande City, TX. My great-grand mother's name was Prajedes Flores.

Do you know how or who I could get in touch with to find this information? I also know that prior to 1903 birth certificates did not exist. How did they record births in 1892? | |

| 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?? |
