Rewatching the series, I forgot how annoying the ROA storyline is. I think he sticks out like a sore thumb, serves no true purpose he's just there being a little whiner. I have been fast forwarding through all of him and the annoying wife's scenes. Anyone else agree?
EDIT: Thank you all for the responses. I have learned lots of new information this afternoon, appreciate it!
After speaking with the diocese of Brownsville, Texas about some records I needed for my family tree, they told me the records have been tracked down to the Diocese of Laredo Texas.
I called the DOL few minutes ago and the woman said they are not complying with any genealogical requests for the foreseeable future. Then she hung up. Called back, got another person and was told the same thing due to "no one being trained to handle the records" I'm crushed!
I've been searching for these records for 5 years, I find them and now simply being told they are non-accessible to me. Has anyone had a similar experience? What do i do? I can't just let it go lol
Can you help me find my ancestors lost grave?
I don't have much to go off but could really use some help locating info on this ancestor (my great-great grandfather). This is the info I have one him, the only thing I have been able to find are US census records with him listed. Trying to backtrack from the census is not helping.
JUAN ZUNIGA b. approx 1840-1847 - d. abt 1910.
He was born in Mexico in or near Linares Nuevo Leon.
He died in Cameron County, Texas.
His parents are presumed to have been Leon Zuniga and Margarita Ibarra.
His wife was Maria Antonia Lopez.
Cannot find any birth / baptism / death or burial record. Trying to locate his lost grave, I have an idea of where it is but would like to be more certain. I'm truly at a loss for this one, my information has been verified by several other trees yet I cannot find any info about him.
Trying to fill a gap in my family tree for my gateway ancestor Damacio Rosales.
He is the base of my tree but I am struggling to find any birth or baptismal records for him , only thing I see are some census and records for his children+wife.
I know Texas didn't start keeping solid records until early 1900s. but would anyone be able to point me in the right direction?
Damacio Rosales b. 1850 in Las Rucias, Texas / d. 1929 in Pharr, Texas
His wife was Juliana Cordova (b. 10-10-1838 in Aguascalientes / d. 3-26-1929 in Pharr, TX )
his parents were: Felipe Rosales Ponce (b.1830) approx.
Francisca Longoria (b. 1830 - d.1935)
Can anyone help me transcribe this fully? I don't need it translated, just transcribed.
From my family tree, birth record of my great-great grandmother Maria Antonia Lopez.
I'm asking for help finding information about my maternal great-grandparents. This has been a huge hole in my tree for years, appreciate any and all input. I have very limited info about them -
Dolores Chapa
b. 12/6/1906 in China Nuevo Leon, Mexico
d. 11/24/1929 in Pharr, TX
Her husbands name was Jose Flores (birth and death unknown), he signed her death certificate but there has been no luck finding a marriage record.
Family history says Jose left town shortly after Dolores died, there is 0 information about him other than he managed a general store and was from either Edcouch, Tx or Pharr, TX.
We know that Dolores died in 1929 from influenza
we have most of the information about her parents, siblings and (1) child.
We have her birth record, a couple of census records and death cert. but there is no baptism or marriage record ever found for Dolores, in addition to her grave being lost.
For the past few weeks have been coming up dry on my searches.
Would anyone be able to help with this? I have enough information about her children and spouse, I am looking for information about her parents / record of her birth. I can only find docs about her dating from 1940s and onward, her gravestone does not have a birth date.
Guadalupe Leal Gallardo (female)
b. abt 1877 in or around Brownsville, TX or China N.L, Mexico
d. Aug 19, 1928 - most likely in Los Fresnos / Cameron County, TX
My key document is a marriage license I have for Feb 16, 1905 in Cameron County, Texas (her husband was Angel Gallardo)
Hi everyone - been building my family tree for the past several years. I hit a brick wall early on with one ancestor and am coming back to it. Ancestry records get a little fuzzy when it comes to this person. Would anyone be able to help me locate info on this person?
Miguel Sosa (B. 7-19-1902 - D. 6/22/2002)
- No birth record has even been found. Born in San Fernando, Tamaulipas, Mexico. (sometimes referred to as Valle de San Fernando)
- We think his middle name was "Alan"
- We know he entered legally into the US on 3-15-1934.
- We believe his mother was named Natividad, we do not know his fathers name.
- We know he had a sister named Rita or Margarita.
- His wife's name was Guadalupe (we have lots of info on her). They married in 1932 Cameron County Texas.
I have not been able to find a single trace of evidence, aside from some immigrations documents and a census, the trail goes cold prior to 1902.
Longshot, but does anyone have a different resource or info that might be of use?
Long story short - my dad married her mom and they were together for over a decade. We basically grew up together and always had a good relationship. A few years ago (due to several reasons) it didn't work out for our parents and they separated.
Immediately after that she became spiteful, aggressive, and borderline obsessive towards my dad. This happened in like 2023... so I've dealt with 3 years of the erratic behavior, nonstop crazy remarks and conversations about my dad. It has always made me very uncomfortable and she knows it because I am very honest with her.
The thing is, we are both full grown adults and she is acting like a 5 year old. Literally every time we (try) to get together the convo ALWAYS reverts to how she hates my dad, the karma she wishes him, blah blah blah. I tried helping by recommending therapy, i bought her a journal to maybe channel some of that energy, etc. It didn't work.
So about 7-8 months ago I kind of just stepped back... I stopped texting her, stopped sending reels, kept our convos short and to the point, minimal face to face contact. The past couple of weeks she has been reaching out to me wanting to hang out and stuff. While i do miss her and want to hang out, I'm kind of over it and have no energy to put into the conversation. I know she still harbors all that hate and I'm weary of getting sucked back in.
EDIT FOR CONTEXT: It seems like now she has chilled out....but i really wouldn't know because I've had minimal contact. I don't want to cut her off, she has always been there for me in the past but i feel like my energy towards this situation is zapped and i can do nothing more.
AITAH?
