Hello everyone!
I have recently begun working on my family tree for both my grandmother and
grandfather’s side. They were both originally from Jalisco, Mexico. They
lived the majority of their lives in Tonaya. My grandmother Maria Inez
Bautista Diaz was born in Cuatlancillo on April 20, 1903 to Marcos Bautista
and Gabriela Dias – she was 1 of 7 children born to Marcos and Gabriela. My
grandfather Antonio Michel Flores was born in or near El Limon/La Cienega on
January 17, 1900 to Leandro Michel (born 1868) and Maria Flores (born
1874) – he is 1 of 9 children born to Leandro and Maria.
I have spent countless hours at the family history library as well as on my
computer at home but I seem to have reached a road block – If anyone has any
information it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Julie Fernandez (Michel)
