Is Isabel #4 and Ana Benavidez #6 one in the same?
At the moment I don’t think they are but again I am still doing further research.
I’ve been doing research sporadically over the years. After attending my first Hispanic Genealogy conference I am even more interested. I haven’t done much since then because of other matters that take up my time but I am glad to see all theses resources that you make available. I need lots of help, I now know.
Seeing your blog on Baez caught my eye because my grandmother was Romana Barron Baez from Cuidad Victoria, Taumalipas, Mexico. She was born in 1896. Her parents were Manuel Barron born in 1850 and Justa Baez born in 1860. Her parents were Gregorio Baez or Vaies and Ramona Becerra. Maybe we are cousins!
More than likely these are your ancestors too but the fun is finding out how.
Hola this is GREAT! my mother is a Benavides and my father’s mother is also a Benavides from the Monterrey area. I have uncles that have done genealogy and said that our family descends from Francisco. Would love more information about him if you have any?
Saludos
Ana, Francisco, Lazaro and Isabel Baez Benavidez are all my ancestors.
Some cousins and me made it a point to visit the Canary Islands a few weeks ago. We went to the Gran Can arias and to Tenerife. We were impressed.
Raul, that’s awesome, I hope you had a great time and enjoyed yourself. Hopefully one day I can also visit the land that some of my ancestors were from.
So were my ancestors! Glad you were able to go! Did you sneak some dirt in your pocket. I like to keep dirt of where my folk have lived. I need some from La Grulla. Its either dirt or rocks.
