Hello Margaret,
Tell me, why was the ranch called La Mota? My maiden name is Mota. My brother and I are very interested in researching our family. In speaking with an old relative,(we know few) he mentioned that our family had originated somewhere in Zacatecas and then moved to Mexico. He said there was a ranch
called la Mota in Zacatecas. I reside in California. Please reply. There is so much I want to know and perhaps you can enlighten us. All this research is for our children.

Brooks County Marriage Records

PaulineReynolds40 — 2007-09-25 22:57:18Z

Does anyone have access to the marriage records at the Brooks County Clerk's office? My father Thomas Edward Kirby married a lady named "Jo" (last name unknow to me) between 1930-1940 somewhere in the Valley. I knew nothing of the marriage until recently and would like to have a copy of their marriage record. My father died when I was 3, so I don't remember him, but trying to "piece" his life together through research. Would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Re: Marr. of Clemente Sanchez to Elisa Vela

geniegirl7 — 2007-09-24 18:09:15Z

I found children for Clemente & Elisa Sanchez
under the Tx Birth Index 1903-1997
Dario Sanchez 25 Oct 1940 Brooks Co
Enrique Sanchez 13 Jul 1948 Hidalgo Co
Lillian Sanchez 23 Jan 1953 San Patricio Co
Ofelia Sanchez 21 Jul 1944 Hidalgo Co
Biola Elva Sanchez 21 Sep 1945 Hidalgo Co

If you have appx birthdates & death date for Clemente & Elisa it would help finding them on the census, since I found several with the same names.

You might write to the Brooks Co courthouse to see if they have a marriage date for them and if they dont, perhaps try a surrounding county. Also, you can write to genealogical societies by starting with Brooks Co or one close by - search on the internet for their address.
Ancestry.com only has marriages for TX from 1814-1909 &
1966 - 2002.

Glad to be of any help.

Jose Carrejo - Falfurrias

nunmn42 — 2007-02-12 22:10:04Z

My grandmother - Epigmenia Carrejo Garcia married Juan Becerra Garcia. My grandmother had three girls: Corina Garcia Bacco, Diamantina Garcia Albidrez, Domitila Garcia Porras, Alejandro Garcia. These are my aunts and uncle, and my mother is Domitila Garcia Porras, I remember Maria Carrejo - she did not marry, she was teacher at one time, I remember this from by childhood. I do remember her going to take classes at a college ( I don't remember which one though). My sisters are as follows: Viola Porras Arellano, Yolanda Porras Lopez, Alfred Porras Jr., Diana Porras Moore, and me - Minerva Porras Nunez. I live in San Antonio, Texas, where my all my aunts and uncle resided, except for my aunt Diamantina (Aunt Annie, to us.) I have been trying to reach someone to help me with the ancestry of my grandmother Epigmenia Carrejo Garcia. Hope you will return this message. I also remember going to Corpus Christi to visit Flora and Marcial Carrejo and their daughters Alva Nelia and Ana Maria and Marcial. I also remember Flora's sister Narcisa.

La Mota Cemetery

VictoriaPuente — 2006-09-06 02:32:55Z

I am looking for information on La Mota cemetery right outside Benavides, Texas. I was told some of my ancestors are buried there. I would like to know if anyone knows who may own the land it is on. It has a large gate with a sign that states "La Mota Cemetery" and it has several large locks on a huge chain. It is between Benavides and Gonzalito's store going towards Kingsville. Texas Law prohibits the restriction of family members from being able to visit those graves even on private land. This information is available on a website called Save Texas Cemeteries. Any information regarding the ownership of the land would be greatly appreciated.
