Respuesta a Pregunta 546 - 3 April 2009My great grandmother was also Tomasa Moreno. My grandmother was Irene Moreno de Gutierrez and her daughter, Evangeline, is my mother. Aunt Felicia Stepka was also a member of Los Californianos until she passed at age 105 in El Cajon. I have done grandmother Tomasa's family history in Early California. Yes, please contact me regarding the pictures. [Lorri Frain (member), Mountain View, Calif.] Pregunta 545 - 31 January 2009
The ancestors I'm researching start with
Juan
Francisco Bernal, born1692. His son
Juan
Francisco, born 1737, was in the de Anza party of 1776.
To my knowledge the descendents settled in the San Francisco Bay area. I am
trying to find our when and where my great grandfather died. His name was
Majin Bernal.
He was born in 1856. His parents were
Antonio Bernal and
Encarnacion
Higuera.
Majin
also had a son,
Francisco, born in
September 1879. I cannot find any information on these two. Any help would
be greatly appreciated. [Jinny Nielsen (nonmember) Geneva, MN]
Respuesta a Pregunta 545 - 29 October 20091880 census from LDS Church: Pregunta 544 - 31 January 2009I'm searching for family information on
Jose CASTRO and
the connection to the
PALMER family.
These
CASTROs were from
San Juan Bautista and I believe
Jose was Governor
during the 1840 - 1850s era.
Jose had a son,
Esteban CASTRO.
I have not found the PALMER
connection yet. I believe
PALMER may have
married into
Jose CASTROs family - perhaps a sister to
Jose or
Esteban? My
information is based on a letter
Jose CASTRO sent
to
J.B. ALVARADO on
24 December 1856 stating that he was hoping to borrow 200 pesos from
PALMER to help his
son
Esteban on his
travels to Sacramento. Thanks. [Jennifer Pierce (nonmember), Elk Grove,
Calif.] Pregunta 543 - 31 January 2009We are searching for descendants of the
Hernandez
brothers,
Mariano and
Pedro who owned
the Rancho Del Puerto, specifically a Mr.
George R. Hernandez
who may now be deceased but lived in the Fremont, Calif. area. The history
of the town of Patterson, Calif. begins with the measuring of the Rancho Del
Puerto and the subsequent grant of the land to
Mariano and
Pedro Hernandez on
30 January 1844 by
Manuel Micheltoreno,
then Governor of the Californias. The town of Patterson is celebrating it's
centennial this year and we are trying to find any descendants who might link
back to the two
Hernandez
brothers. Please contact me at
Sheila-ann@Juno.com . Thanks! [Sheila Ruiz Harrell (member), Modesto,
Calif.] Pregunta 542 - 31 January 2009I am trying to locate a photo of the chapel that was built by
Rafael Castro in
1876 in the city of Aptos. It was named Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. The chapel
was demolished in 1930 and mentioned in the Sentinel and the
Pajaronian but neither included a photo of the chapel. [Marie (nonmember),
Santa Cruz, Calif.] Pregunta 541 - 31 January 2009I am completing a pictorial history of the mid-Alameda County region for
the Arcadia Publishing Series "Images of America," and I would much like to
secure an image or line illustration of
Barbara castro Soto.
Her brother was
Guillermo Castro and her husband was
Francisco Soto. She
was one of the few women who owned a Spanish land grant and was named as the
sole owner. Do you have any leads on where I might find something? I have
worked with Bancroft, the local historical society, and done rather extensive
primary source research. But, to no avail. Thanks for your consideration of
this request.-- Pregunta 542 - 31 January 2009I would like to find out the location of origin in Spain of the
Soberanes Family
of Salinas and Monterey Calif. I am part of the family and have developed an
interest in the family history because I was recently in Spain and was
wondering what part of Spain my family ( on my mother's side) came from. If
you have any clues or suggestions where I could get this information I would
be grateful. Thanks, [Douglas Moler [nonmember], California] To submit a question or respond to
