Nicolas and Inez are my great grandparents (8th degree). When you mention, “YOu will see a cutout of the census… SHOWING them with their children…”? Does this mean a list of names or does this refer to a photo of their children / family?
list of names. There were no photos back then.
Jose Antonio Zamora, son of Nicolas Zamora and Inez Munguia had children from two wives. The first wife was Maria Ignacia Tijerina and Casimira Ochoa according to the family tree at UT-RGV Special Collections Dept.. Thanks.
@mgbigboy Was this information ever verified? I’m interested in how to view this UTRGV family tree.
Go in person to UT-RGV Library Special Collections Dept. in Edinburg, Texas. They have boxes of the Reynosa Archives and the family tree. I saw it myself when I was doing research on my Zamora family.
The University in Corpus Christi also has a tree on him. Or you can just log in and see a bigger and updated tree.
Where is the update tree once we are logged in?
