Need help, can't find any info on my great grandfather or anyone before him.  I was told that my great grandfather Alfredo used his mother's maiden name Avila and Huizar - Paternal - Alfredo Avila Huizar from Jerez, Zacatecas. Anyone with info or where to look please do so.  I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi,

In your very first post, you asked for help/assistance of areas to look into.  All I have are suggestions, and a little extra info on the family from border crossing slide 795. 

First,

I have no known relationships to this Avila family, which is the family (listed on border crossing slide 795) that appears in the 1930 Chihuahua, Mexico census. This family does not appear to be directly related to your Alfredo born 1903, Jerez), but may be a relation of some type.  First, both Francisco and Josefa were both born in Zacatecas (coincidence?).   They were at this location by at least 1906, as all presumed children were born in Chihuahua. The name Alfredo Avila (born 1923), Chihuahua - coincidence?) may have been named in honor of a close family member, so even though this is not your direct family, it may be a branch relation or hint to follow up on.

Jose Huizar Bañuelos and Francisca de Avila are candidates as parents of Alfredo Avila Huizar.   They for the time frame but I have not found conclusive proof.   They wrote that Alfredo H. Avila crossed with his aunt but forgot to write her name.

Rick,
That lead certainly looks promising.  I find Alfredo and family listed in Juarez, Chihuahua,  El Paso, Texas, Colfax County, New Mexico,
and as far north as Colorado in one record.  Various records indicate up to 10 children. No leads through these records, although I
know there are Catholic parishes not listed on familysearch that are located in El Paso, Texas. Perhaps more info can be found in one
of these El Paso parish records. My interest is with Angela Cueva's first marriage to Felipe Padilla, as I have a number of Padilla
connections through my grandson, who married into the Zermeno family.  I believe this Felipe Padilla may have actually died in
Juarez, Chihuahua in May 1927 (of tuberculosis); but the children of Felipe and Angela were all baptized in Tacambaro, Michoacan,
the last child baptized in 1925. Did Felipe Padilla move the entire family to Juarez, only to die in 1927? Perhaps this is him, although
the civil death record is sketchy, and does not mention Angela?

Yes it does have parental information on the back of the card.   The back of the crossing the border card that you are referring to.   The front of the card says is wife’s name and the back of the card says “Alfredo Avila”traveling with “Mo” which means mother, and “Josefa Macias de Avila.   Then for nearest relative or friend that they are traveling to it says “GrMo Feliciana Medina” who is Alfredo Avila’s maternal grandmother.   And for nearest relative that have where they are coming from it says Francisco Avila who is Alfredo Avila’s father.   It looks like Francisca but it should be a “o” at the end.   To see this back of the card go to that image that you have of the border crossing and then click the right arrow twice and it will take you to this back of the card .
