Good Evening Jonathan and All,
I've hit the wall with my family and wondered if your vast knowledge and resources could help tear it down. The only actual/documented information I've obtained is from Laredo border crossings:
2/12/1917 #4774 GGrandfather, Rosalio Onate age 60 (b. 1857/58?) Villa Garcia, Zacatecas.
2/18/1917 #4785 GrAunt, daughter, Angela Onate age 30 (b.1887/88?), Villa Garcia.
3/11/18 #4775 GrUncle, son, Adolfo Onate age 22 (b. 9/27/96) Aguascalientes, Aguas. Adolfo's bdate was taken from a US work permit that stated his birthplace as Villa Garcia, Zac.
My grandfather, Luis Onate,is not listed on any crossings. If it weren't for these bits of info, I wouldn't even know that my family existed! I can't find birth records/film for anyone, even my mother! I've searched films for both Villa Garcia and Aguascalientes. I even made a trip to Aguas, Aguas last spring to search for Rosalio's tomb I visited as a young woman with my mother in a church there. Everyone in the group appears to be so helpful, so knowledgable, and so related. For two years I've read all the emails, and never find a family connection. I've done everything I know to do and research, but I know that someone out there must know or have some other resources that could help. I thank you in advance for your assistance and I will continue reading. Alice BB
