Respuesta a Pregunta 370 - 6 October 2006
If you've read of "Casa
Alvitre" in a
certain woman's post, believe me, she's not related and the information she has
on her post is simply "imagination." Casa
Alvitre? Sounds
like
Sebastian lived on a
Hacienda with much acreage. Nope! He returned (from Baja) to Los Angeles and
moved to Rancho delos Nieto where he raised his family and ran cattle of his own
along with those of the widow, Doña
Teresa Morillo. He
did not live on "Casa
Albitre" but in a
simple ranch house common to that time. He lived there until his death in
1817. I will mentioned several things from a specific post (Pregunta 257) which
are not true Respuesta a Pregunta 370 - 23 June 2006 According to Marie Northrop's Spanish-Mexican Families of Early
California: 1769-1850, Vol. I: Pregunta 369 - 14 June 2006My grandfather is Alfredo Marshall (Marcial) Estrada, born 1858 in California. His father is listed in 1860 California census records as Jose Antonio Estrada, born about 1814 in Monterey Calif. My question is: who is Jose Antonio’s father? I found a reference to a Jose Antonio Juan Chinaco Ricardo Estrada, born about 1813 in Monterey to Jose Raymundo Estrada, but I can’t verify that he is the same person as my great-grandfather Jose Antonio. As a retired academic librarian I need a source to quote to rest assured this is my ancestor! Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. [Erlinda Estrada (nonmember), Santa Clara, Calif.] Respuesta a Pregunta 369 - 7 September 2006I don't know if this will help you but my paternal grandmother, Rosario Estrada Estrada, had either a cousin or uncle ( grand-uncle ) who was Marcial Estrada. I remember reading about him as a child in the then Pico Rivera Daily News, which is now the San Gabriel Valley Tribune. The article came out sometime in the late 1960s and mentioned he was a member of one of the first families to settle in the San Gabriel Valley in the 1850s. There were many Estradas in the San Gabriel Valley and many were/are buried at the the San Gabriel Mission. The graves and records of those buried early on may have been lost to flood and fire, but there are still grave markers there of the Estrada family. An early San Gabriel Valley census is on display at the El Monte Historical Museum, which shows my grandmother and her parents and siblings. It might also help you. My dad has a picture from around the 1930s of his uncle Alfred Estrada. Could he be related? Let me know what you find out. This is very interesting. Good luck with your search.

Pregunta 368 - 14 June 2006How do I obtain information on Gen. Mariano Vallejo? I am interested in his descendants specifically. Thank you. [Patricia A. Vallejo (nonmember), Milwaukee, Wisconsin.] Respuesta a Pregunta 368 - 23 June 2006 Patricia ... the General is my first cousin, 6 generations removed. He is the son of Maria Antonia Isabela de Lugo, my 5th great aunt. He is connected to the de Castros of California and many other noteworthy early Californianos.

[Howard Lee Smith (member), Trinity, Fla.] Respuesta a Pregunta 368 - 14 June 2006 The internet and your local library [perhaps through Interlibrary loan] should be able to provide you with information on General Vallejo's life.

Respuesta a Pregunta 363 - 12 September 2006 Before answering this query, I needed to consult with cousin Bob
Picha, the primary force behind the 1997 and 2004 reunions
in San Juan Bautista. We agreed that neither of us plan another reunion
prior to 2007. We will consider it next year. In 1997, the 200th
anniversary of Manuel
Salvador Larios' birth, we considered a reunion every
five years. The first reunion was a lot of work. The Sept. 11, 2004 Larios/Castro
reunion was the result of honoring the Pregunta 362 - 3 June 2006I am searching for information on my great great grandfather Jose Apolonio Dominguez.
