Hello!
I wanted to take the time to introduce myself. My name is Alexis Villagrana and I reside in Jefferson, Oregon USA. It's so nice to have found your group and was so thrilled to have joined in the research!
I am fairly new at genealogy and have only been researching since mid December 2009. Even though I am new at this, I've really taken a passion for it because I've always had a determined and investigative nature. A lot of my family's history had been forgotten and even lost!
Thanks to genealogy research, a lot of what was lost, is being recovered. My intent is to help preserve history as well as my own heritage!
Okay, now the surnames and locations I have been researching are:
1. The Villagran's from Zacatecas,
Mexico.
Descendants of Felix Villagran
Generation No. 1
1. Felix Villagran was born on 12 July 1850 in Zacatecas, Mexico. He married Apolinares Reyes probably around 1870 in Zacatecas, Mexico.
Children of Felix and Apolinares Villagran are:
2. i. Maria Villagran, b. Abt. 1896, in Zacatecas, Mexico.
3. ii. Antonio Villagran b. Abt. 1898 in Zacatecas, Mexico.
4. iii. Andres Villagran b. Abt. 1905 in Zacatecas, Mexico.
Note: My family surname
Villagran was changed to Villagrana upon them coming to the United States.
I noticed the Villagran family had also resided in Chihuahua, Mexico, just prior to emigrating to their new residency in the U.S. around the spring or summer of 1916.
2. The Romo's of Encarnacion de Diaz, Jalisco, Mexico
Descendants of Jose Guadelupe Romo
Generation No. 1
