Pregunta 536 - 19 November 2008

I am praying that someone will know of a Ludovina (last name unknown) who married a (first name unknown) Higuera. They were born in California in the 1830s. They appear in the 1880 census, but his name is hard to make out. Ludovina was the grandmother of a Berryessa descendant I am working on, and "holds the key" to connecting him to his parents (as I have no clue who they might be right now). ANY information is welcome on them. I've stressed most internet sources, now I need to see if anyone has anything specific in their databases on this couple. Many thanks!!!

Pregunta 535 - 19 November 2008

I am a descendant of Jose Manuel Higuera. Higuera were part of 1774 expedition. They were from Villa de Sinaloa. Later, about 1777 they were early settlers. My great grandmother Alta Gracia Higuera was born at Tres Pinos , Alta California, Mexico in 1840 and died at Tres Pinos, California, U.S.A. in 1946. She was 106 when she died. I was 7 years old in 1946. In Woodland, California there are hundreds of descendants of Alta Gracia Higuera.   If any family or other folks that have knowledge of this part of the Higuera family read this, please e-mail me at apodaca@pacbell.net .   I would like very much to speak with you. I am trying to finish a book I am working on concerning the family's historic past and  and its modern day American history. [Arthur J. Apodaca, J.D. (nonmember), Guinda, Calif.]

 Francisco Gilbert was born in Murcia, Spain about 1800. He was married 6 January1828 to Maria Julia De La Luz Lopez. They had seven children that I could find. The first child was named Ramona Rafaela Juana Gilbert. She married Felipe Santiago De La Cruz Arellanes 14 October 1846 at Mission Santa Inez. They had six children that I could find. Felipe was my great great uncle. I have other information on the Arellanes family if it will be of help to you. I'm also looking for Inez Shakman who has a lot of information on the Arellanes family. Long ago I had an E-mail address for her, but it didn't work. If she sees this message, please contact me. And you Teresa, I need your help! You never answered my E-mail. [James T.
