My great grandfather was born on El Soliseno Ranch....not sure about the date. His children (whom I can recall) were Jose Gutierrez Solis, Francisco Gutierrez Solis and Juan Gutierrez Solis (twin to a female) were born there too. Juan and his twin were the youngest and were born around 1895. All three brothers died in Palacios Texas. Looking for any relatives. Please help.

My mothers Grandfather was named Siverio Solis, and his brother was Dolores Solis, both were sons of Marteo Solis, whos father was someone named Juan Jose Solis. Both Mateo and his father Juan Jose Solis were from El Soliseño and La Palma ranches.

Is this the same Juan Jose Solis and if so, do you have any information about him, his date of birth, place of birth, mother and fathers name, pictures, etc...

Juan Jose Solis is my 5th Generation Grand Father.

On my dad's side, my grand father was Encarnacion Hinojosa, and his father was Rafael Hinojosa. Do you have any information about them. Both were from El Soliseño and La Palma ranches.

Any information you can provide is greatly appreciated. I am working on my family tree on Acestry.com - Named: Hinojosa-Zamora Family Tree. It is public to view.

Thanks

Juan J. Hinojosa

Dolores and Silverio Solis's father was Mateo Valdez Solis his father: Santiago Hinojosa Solis mother :Gertrudis Valdez.
Santiago's father: Juan Jose Solis mother: Maria Gertrudis Hinojosa.

Which would make him your 6th gen, not 5th. I wish I had more information for Juan Jose Solis, I just thought I should let you know about the missing generation.

The history of the San Jose Cemetary in Hidalgo Co, made a point to note that Juan Jose was a Spaniard, but because of the definition it's hard to tell if this means he was Peninsulares or Criollos.

San Jose Ranch was established in 1860s by Silverio Solis (1845-1921 and his wife Maria Ana Cavazos, and his brother Dolores (1844-1918). Brothers were grandsons of Juan Jose Solis, Spaniard, from Rancho Soliseno, Tamaulipas, across Rio Grande just south of Bluetown. Ranch was purchased by American Rio Grande Land & Irrigation Co. about 1912.

Thanks for the information. Please let me know about anything else you come across. I am still looking for information about my father side of the family, the Hinojosa's from La Palma.

My father was named Guadalupe Hinojosa-Yanez. His father was named Encarnacion Hinojosa-Garcia and his mother was named Isidra Yanez-Martinez.

My father was baptized under the name J. Guadalupe Hinojosa and his batismal record indicate (erroneously) that his father was named Concepcion Hinojosa.

Please let me know if you have any information about La Palma, Tamps., Mexico or the Hinojosa/Yanez of that area.

Anyone have any connection to Manuel Maria Hinojosa who married Elsa (or Celsa?) de la Llata on March 12, 1857 in Santander Jimenez
