I'm related to Adrian Aguilar and we both are from different siblings of our Paternal GG grandfather. We also have Vasquez in our family. But, I'd have to go over my notes to tell you exactly their names. I do know that my great grandmother was a Vasquez, I believe her parents were
from Ojinaga, MX which is across the border from Presidio. I'll get back to you in a few days with more information.

I have a lot of old family records from this area, wondering if I still have any relatives out there.

Vizcaino/Biscaino, Calanche/Calanchi. Ortega. Carrasco. Uranga. Natividad. Molina. Lara.

Lots more.

Please see the public Calanchi-Ortega Family Tree.

No, problem. Most people who are familiar with the internet know about URLs and how to navigate.

Thanks.

Re: Looking for family info ++ Suggested websites

OctoberFly — 2013-01-24 20:32:28Z

I have many of the same surnames in my family tree (Viscaino, Ramirez, Lujan, Acosta, Montoya, Flotte, Galindo), so another suggestion is to look in Ojinaga, Chihuahua, Julimez, Chihuahua, Meoqui, Chihuahaua, and Hidalgo del Parral, Chihuahua.

My apologies for not including a hyperlink to the websites in my last post. Usually, I only hyperlink a website if I am directing a person to a specific page. For example, a specific image of a baptism on Family Search. Search engines like Google and Bing have made URL's a thing of the past, for the most part.

Re: Looking for family info ++ Suggested websites

getzwriter — 2013-01-24 17:43:56Z

Thank you, Trevia.

I haven't found similar web sites that would cover the areas of Valentine, Marfa and Shafter. Are you aware of any?

Indeed the two subject websites are interesting and useful. Hint: remember that all readers are not experienced genealogists and it is a good thing to include the URLs that you already have at hand.

Aguilar, Evaro, Bustillos, Jimenez, Acosta, Lujan, Vasquez, Herrera and Ramirez to start, there are more, but I need to go back to my paper work to look up the others. Since, my family is quite large, my memory isn't all that great. If I see any of yours I'll let you know.

Re: Looking for family info

getzwriter — 2013-01-18 23:41:43Z

Yes, I use FamilySearch as much as Ancestry.

What are your family surnames you're looking for?

Re: Looking for family info

auxfire7 — 2013-01-18 22:04:57Z

Have you tried looking at www.familysearch.com, they may have the information you are looking for. None of the names that you have asked about are not familiar to me. My family also is from that area, Presidio, Marfa, Shafter, but my family is quite large and I am having issues locating all of them. I'm hoping to find them all before my Dad gets too old.

Looking for family info

getzwriter — 2013-01-18 06:06:17Z

Hello,

My relatives by these names lived in Shafter, Marfa, Valentine, and many more places in the Big Bend region of Texas from the late 1800s on.

I'm interested in sharing and learning more about them.

Thanks.

Re: Barrueta/ Health problems---

firehair31 — 2012-02-28 20:13:16Z

-the genealogy is not the problem here--as a prof/family genealogist, I've done that, turned it over, with documents, to the family branch who are looking.---what is needed is personal info on familial health problems. The father/grandfather,d. in MD--the living son refused to answer mail/inquiry. So--tried this approach. There are 2 of his grandchildren with massive health issues not in the maternal line. Thank you for at least responding.

Re: Barrueta/ Health problems---

auxfire7 — 2012-02-28 20:05:25Z

Looking for Lucila R. Cano in Redford

bengodwin1 — 2012-01-06 21:47:58Z

I am trying to make contact with Lucila Rios Cano in Redford or any of her kin now living in Alpine. I am interested in more information about her siblings and parents and whether her brother was Marcos Ramos Rios (1911-2005). I think that Lucila married Camilo Baeza Cano and had at least five children, one being Rosa Maria Cano Morales.

Pat, I had a touch of insomnia so spent the time with my other books. They are primarily Jeff Davis County and Fort Davis histories and sadly I did not find anything more to be of benefit to you.

It can be very frustrating when you know your people were in a place, and very probably were prominent citizens in the time frame, and little can be located about them.

I will keep your information and should I happen across anything else as I research, I will post it here.

Re: History of Marfa and Presidio County, Texas

Hello Pat,

The entry I sent this morning on J. Selman was the only thing in either volume for that name.

I have just reviewed both volumes and NONE of the other names you listed are included in these books. I was surprised because I am sure I have read something of the DeGraffenreids some where... I have some other books on this area and will check them tomorrow, just in case.

I am so sorry I didn't find more for you....

Diane

Re: History of Marfa and Presidio County, Texas

PatKennedy45 — 2010-10-12 18:12:01Z

This was a wonderful new "look" into some history about John Selman. I am working on a family book and this adds to our history. Would there be any history in these books about his children?

Henry Smith Selman 1868-1949
William Mathis Selman 1870-1952
Margaretta Mazeene Etta Selman Alderson 1872-1950
John Marion Selman 1875-1937

or a: Adam Milton Lawrence/Laurence or Milton Adam Lawrence

All the above children were raised by John C. McGrew.

Thank you,
Pat Kennedy

Re: History of Marfa and Presidio County, Texas

p_d_scannell — 2010-10-12 13:28:16Z

In Chapter 8 of this book, Mrs. Thompson is discussing the lawlessness following an outbreak of Smallpox in February, 1879. The Lincoln County War in New Mexico caused uneasiness among the Indians who found a leader in Victorio, bringing bloodshed and devastation to the area for months to come. The lawlessness and outlaws were epitomized by Billy the Kid who was a member of a gang in New Mexico known as the Jesse Evans gang. This gang eventually moved on to Presidio County, committing fourteen assaults and robberies in less than two months. On May 21, 1880 the county attorney request the Texas Rangers to come to the aid of the beleaguered area. In the meantime the Graham brothers were caught and jailed at Fort Stockton.

"An agent of the Evans gang, by the name of J. Selman, applied for the job of jailor as no posse would guard the jail for fear of attack by the outlaws. J. Selman was appointed deputy -- a monstrous joke."

There is no further mention of Selman in this volume. I will keep looking for the other names.

Re: History of Marfa and Presidio County, Texas

Presidio County marriage in 1917

MarthaHiter50 — 2010-08-30 17:26:48Z

This question has probably been asked before, but is there a record of marriages for the time frame of 1916-1919 in Presidio County? I am trying to verify the marriage of Mary Ethel Midkiff to Walter I Wilson, and believe it occurred in 1917 in Presidio. Thanks for your help!!

Re: Will country clerk work with me over the phone?

WilliamHowell0187 — 2010-08-30 01:12:34Z

Not sure it the county clerk will help you over the telephone. I can say that when I was there and looking for documents they were very helpful. Having been there several times now I can say that they are a small office and each time they tended to my need right away.

Will country clerk work with me over the phone?

adamssx — 2010-08-29 19:17:15Z

I think that my grandparents - Douglas Timothy "Tim" Dalton & Ercel O. Morrow may have met and married in Presidio County during the WWII era. Ercel was from Marfa and while Tim was from Illinois, he was part of the Army Air Corps during WWII and so I think they may have met when the Marfa Army Airfield was open.

If I contact the County Clerk's office, will they help me research the documents over the phone? And will I be able to order a copy of the marriage record through mail? Or is this something that I have to do in person?

Thanks!

Re: Obituary

auxfire7 — 2010-03-20 06:53:28Z

According to the Records on FamilySearch.org. Charles W. Rude was born in July of 1858 in Indiana. His wife's name was Lula and their Residence in 1900 was at Justice Precints 1, 6-8 in Presidio, TX. But, I did not see where he died in Texas. I only saw that he went back to Indiana and died there. You might want to go to the Morman Records and research it there.

I'll also try and help you when I can.

Good Luck in your search for Ancestors!!

Is there someone who does obit lookups in Marfa, TX? Charles W. Rude, a baker in that area according to the 1900 census, died of typhoid fever in June or July of that year. He had family back in Scott County, IN. His wife Lula died about a month later. I'd appreciate copies of the obituaries if they exist.
