Hi Everybody: Last week I not only found the name of my great-grandfather, Donaciano Flores but also found the parents of my great-great grandparents, Cristobal Gonzales and Refugia Hernandez. I also found out that my maternal great-grandmother, Ana Maria Gonzales, also had a sister named Maximiniana Gonzales. Maximiniana Gonzales was married to Geronimo Garcia and had a daughter Guadalupe Garcia Gonzales. Guadalupe Gonzales was married to Juan Arredondo Mireles and they are the parents of my grandfather, Adelfo Mireles. I have been looking for these people for about 40 years so you can imagine my excitement.

I am now trying to find information on Donaciano Flores, Maximiniana Gonzales, Geronimo Garcia, Cristobal Gonzales and Refugia Hernandez. If you have some information on these people, please send it to me. It is amazing how just one name can open up so many other families. Thank you in advance for your help.

Great news.
How did you find them all?
Can we get a timeline?
I would love to match my Hernandez family in Uvalde, TX to yours.
Need more info.

Hi Linda,

Glad to know you have found more info on your family. Are the people you are looking for still in the Uvalde county area? Do you have dates?

All of these people are from Uvalde, Texas. I am not sure where Cristobal Gonzales and Refugia Hernandez lived.

Donaciano Flores born about 1850 in Mexico; husband of Ana Maria Gonzales. Donaciano was the unknown for 30+ years but don't have any other information on him. Did he remarry? Where did he die? Did he have other children besides Pedro and Jesusa Flores?

Ana Maria Gonzales born Aug 1859 in Nadadores, Coahuila, Mexico; first husband-Donaciano Flores; second husband-Francisco Ramirez; her parents-Cristobal Gonzales born in Mexico and Refugia Hernandez born in Mexico (no other information on Cristobal and Refugia).

Maximiniana Hernandez Gonzales, born 1855 in Mexico; died 20 Jul 1922 in Uvalde, Texas; sister of Ana Maria Gonzales; born in 1855 in Mexico and died 20 Jul 1922 in Uvalde, Texas; husband-Geronimino Garcia (no other information); children: Refugia, Cristobal and Guadalupe. I am not sure of Maximiniana's husband, Geronimo Garcia. I found his name on Guadalupe Gonzales's death certificate.

Guadalupe Gonzales born 4 Jan 1874 or 1873; married Juan Mireles (first husband)born 25 Nov 1874 in Eagle Pass, Texas; died in Uvalde, Texas 1 Jul 1941; children: Francisca, Adelfo and Martin Mireles; second husband-Evaristo Gonzales (I don't know his parents' names.); third husband-Jesus San Miguel; I think Guadalupe and Jesus San Miguel raised my father, Thomas Mireles.

Adelfo Mireles is my grandfather. So two sisters married into both sides of my family. I hope all of this makes sense but ask questions if you don't understand.

I am seeking more information on Cristobal Gonzales, Refugia Hernandez, Geronimo Garcia, Maximiniana Gonzales and Donanciano Flores.

If anybody has any pictures of these families please email me at heinz@4dv.net

I was lucky and found the latest information on www.familysearch.com and rsearched the last names and found the church wedding records. These must have just been entered online because I have been searching for at least 30 years for these names. I am hoping somebody out there has some more information. I will be glad to share any information that I have.

Your help is greatly appreciated.
