Welester,
If you are in Monterrey and know Israel Cavazos Garza, could you do me a favor? Israel lives in Ciudad de Guadalupe I believe? He wrote book on the ciudad. Israel devotes a chaper in the book to El Tierra Dura in San Rafael I bielieve. The property belonged to the Sepulveda family. Israel mentions the will of Vicente SEpulveda Garza made in 1818. Vicente Sepulveda is my great great great grandfather.My grandfather Arturo Ayala y Robles was the son of Yldefonso Ayala y Spulveda and Porfiria Robles y Rivas and was born in Saltillo in 1868. His cousin was Vito Alessio RObles. Yldefonso Ayala was the son of Ramon Ayala and Refugia Sepulveda y Garza and born 1837 in Monterrey. Refugia was the daughter of Vicente Sepulveda y Garza and his second wife Maria Josefa Garza y Yslas a nd born in 1804 in Guadalupe Vicente Sepulveda was baptized in 1745 in Salinas Victoria. I would dearly like to have a copy or translation of the will. COuld you talk to him about getting a copy of
the w
ill? Also I am stuck on Maria Josefa Garza' father. I know his name was Joaquin Garza. I don't know the genealogy of Joaquin Garza. I know he married Antonia Margarita Yslas y Palacios f rom Lampazos. Anything to help me out with Joaquin Garza would be nice. I guess that is a big wish list.
Welester, I don't know if you have time for this but let me know if you can help or not. I would appreciate anything.
Thanks bvery much,
Esther
