Dear Eduardo--

Many thanks for your message. I do have the people you mentioned. They are all great uncles or aunts to my husband. The ones I am missing are as follows:

Child 3 Juan GODINEZ born about 1886
married 22 Sep 1910 to
M. Felipa GUTIERREZ

Child 4 Estefania GODINEZ born about 1888
married 21 Nov 1906 to
Ildefonso ESTRADA
(She died during the great flu epidemic of 1918)

Child 5 Maria Trinidad GODINEZ born about 1891
spinster
died in Tijuana, B.C., Mexico about 1980

Child 6 Francisco GODINEZ (not Francisca)
A twin born 1 Oct 1893 in San Joaquin, Atotonilco el Alto.
married Ma. Encarnacion ARRANAGA about 1925???

Child 7 Nicolas GODINEZ born 1 Oct 1893
the second twin, bachelor
died 7 Sep 1925 in San Joaquin
killed by lightning while under a tree

Child 11 Manuel GODINEZ born 12 Jun 1906
younger brother of Nicolas, bachelor
died 7 Sep 1925 in San Joaquin
killed by the same lightning along with a friend of theirs
The friend's name I no longer have.

Child 12 Jose GODINEZ born 29 May 1909
apparently died very young, no one remembered him

Please tell me what names you are researching. Currently, I am in the process of indexing the 1930 Census for the villages of Margaritas, Milpillas, Santa Elena (previously known as Ranch Viejo, Salitrillo (it only had 60 people in 1930--most who were either DUENAS or apparently married into the DUENAS family, and San Joaquin. I also have some information of the ranchos/haciendas of Bramido, Aguascalientes, El Nacimiento, and the city of Atotonilco el Alto.

I truly thank you for your help with the GODINEZ siblings.

Sincerely,
Patricia Burton
San Diego

PS Eduardo, where are you located?
