Hi Chuck,

If you are related to Charles F. Franco, who passed away on June 27, 1999 (http://massapequanobserver.com/glencoverecordpilot/1999/07/0...), then we are related through his sister Carmella Graf who was my grandmother. You're also then related to Danielle Franco (who posted here) who is a cousin of mine through one of my grandmother's sisters (isn't it awful that I don't know which? lol). Anyway, I'd be very interested if you know more about Charles' and my Grandmother's parents.

Re: Maria del Carmen Franco (b. 1804 Cadiz) dau of Roque Franco and Brigida Manuela Gutierrez de Ollo

dolfd1 — 2012-02-17 16:23:45Z

Castilla as a surname probably does mean that some ancestor lived in the province of Castilla at one time. (Central Spain) But it could be so far back as to be irrelevant. My ancestors come from the Sevilla/Cadiz area of south western Spain. So the surname does not really tell you anything. Luckily, the baptismal certificates of Spanish people typically have not only the parents but the grandparents listed. If you can find that for any of your ancestors it would be very helpful. Also the double names shows family name and secondary or maiden name) Segundo appelido.
Marriage certificates often have places of birth as well, so finding that is extremely helpful as well. I understand we are talking about many years ago so these might not be easily available.
If you can get to a town by doing research it would be valuable.
As an example I was able to go to the city records in Cadiz and pushed my family tree 3 generations.
Then through patience my cousin and I pushed it back 3-4 more. Good luck.
LDS records are not as good in Spain as in other countries, but they are working on it.

goldswimmom7 — 2012-02-17 16:12:31Z

I don't know what part of Spain they are from, but I see the name Castilla mentioned. I don't know if it a last name or the person is from Castilla. Also, my Maria Josefa Franco's first daughter is named Maria del Carmen.

Re: Maria del Carmen Franco (b. 1804 Cadiz) dau of Roque Franco and Brigida Manuela Gutierrez de Ollo

dolfd1 — 2012-02-17 15:14:43Z

Do you have any idea about the ancestors? Or what city or region in Spain she came from? That would be the key.

Re: Franco / Frank - Azores to Fall River, MA

downtheyard — 2012-02-13 07:33:19Z

Hi Jane
Thanks for getting back to me.Having a hard time because too many Manuel Francos (Boa Ventura;s brother)records that haven't panned out. Heard too many family stories that have not been true and no one left that remembers that generation in my immediate family, so was hoping to find others that may. I am also in Fall River and my greatuncle who kept in touch with his cousins (Francos from Plain St area) has passed on. I would like to know where in St Micheal they came from and who were the other siblings of BoaVentura and Manuel. Had heard that the father of these two brothers died and the mother remarried and so they came to the US. Also unsure of all the surnames and that may help me get acurate info in St Miguel. Any way of getting toether with your uncle? Is he a Franco? Is there anyone else in the family that has been doing family research? You can email me direct and would love to meet other Francos from FR. Thanks so much in advance
Cindy

The Franco from Tepa come from the Franco de Paredes family. This family goes back to Spain with a line of Francos in cuba. These Francos from tepa are the same Francos that intermarried with all of the other families from los Altos de Jalisco

Re: Perez, Franco -- Tepatitlan, Jalisco, Mexico

mygenes2000 — 2011-09-25 06:13:52Z

I believe that Jose Prospero Perez-Franco settled in Texas. He was in contact with Evaristo I believe. I found a person that lived in the right time frame as Jose Prospero Perez Franco that settled in Texas but I have not confirmed his identity.
This person is only named as Jose Perez.

Re: Perez, Franco -- Tepatitlan, Jalisco, Mexico

mygenes2000 — 2011-09-25 06:09:56Z

Hello Anna,
I sent an email to you at the email address that you provided, and when you did not reply, I was afraid that I had lost you. please check the mailbox for those emails and let me know if you rec'd them.

Evaristo sent a gift(money) to our uncle Melquiades, his son, when he graduated as a lawyer. Tio Melquiades refused the money saying that he did not need the money now that he had graduated and to spend it on his half siblings.

My email address is mygenes2ooo@yahoo.com My Mom is very excited to hear that we have connected. My mom and your mom are first cousins. My mom is 83 years old and is eager to exchange letters. Is anyone in your immediate family in the Los Angeles, California area?

Re: Angelo Franco

TNColette — 2011-09-12 14:15:21Z

Thanks so much, Maddy. Our Francos are Sicilian so I'm off track here. We're getting closer, may have found something to indicate that he lived in Sambuca di Sicilia before settling in Winnebago County, and later, Cook County, IL. Working on verifying.

Many thanks for your help. Inch by inch... :)

Seeking info re MARCO FRANCO, Sambuca Fabut, Girgenti, Sicily

TNColette — 2011-09-11 20:13:28Z

dob 14/8/1893

Would love to gather more information about Marco Franco, Sambuca Fabut, Girgenti, Sicily.
Also interested in any relatives who may still be there.

Marco came to Chicago area in 1910, age 16 yrs, on ship named "Neckar". Manifest shows he was going to stay with an uncle in Chicago, possibly named Jacco Antonina. Name below his on manifest is Martino Biletto who also listed uncle Jacco Antonina.

- Have found that some documents show him as Michael or Mike Frank.

Marco later married Josephine Las Casas of Louisiana.

Children born in Winnebago County, IL : Cologero, Giorgio, Anamae, Marianne. Cologero, born 1-15-1928, died in Cook County, IL (Berwyn, perhaps?) in 1967.

I apologize in advance for the possible misspellings.

I'll appreciate any help you can provide! Thanks.

Re: Angelo Franco

TNColette — 2011-09-11 16:54:22Z

Do you have a Marco Franco b 14/8/1893? Came to Chicago area at age 16, later married Josephine Las Casas of New Orleans. children Marianne, Georgio, Cologero, Anamae, born in Winnebego County, Illinois.

Trying especially to find the name of town he is from and hoping to see if there are relatives still in the area.

Thank you!

Hi,
This is Anna. Did we lose each other? I told my Mom about you and she's anxious to learn more about family. Where did Prospero settle? Evaristo, to the best of everything I've been able to locate, has always been in New Mexico. He & my grandmother had several children of which there are only three left. Please contact me again -- I'd really like to hear from you.

Re: Perez, Franco -- Tepatitlan, Jalisco, Mexico

Little_Anita — 2011-08-22 15:27:13Z

Oh, thank you so very much for contacting me. My mother is 85 and is Evaristo's 2nd to the youngest daughter here in Albuquerque NM. I can truly understand your grandmother's feelings. My grandfather, Evaristo, died when I was about 2 years old so the only memory I have of him is sitting on his lap as a young toddler. I have worked on our family genealogy for many years and I did find the LDS Online records but the first marriage didn't come up. To tell you the truth, my Mother's sister's suspected a first family in Mexico, but he never spoke of it (at least that they'll tell me). Some of my Mom's family is closed-mouth about family skeletons in the closet so I have a hard time digging out information. I would love to hear from you and will gladly share what I have with you. My name is Anna Leyba & my email address is Anita_Bernice@yahoo.com.

Re: Perez, Franco -- Tepatitlan, Jalisco, Mexico

mygenes2000 — 2011-08-22 05:55:01Z

A son of evaristo, Jose Melquiades, was a famous (honest)judge in Mexico city. he was named after Evaristo's father. He was a very talented/educated man. His hand was injured on the ranch and he was sent to study since he was considered to not be much help on the ranch. The injury was a blessing in disguise. A blessing because he probably would not have been sent away to be educated if he had not been hurt. He was from Evaristo's first family. I knew him. Evaristo, like Prospero, left his first family and started another. You descend from the second family. My grandmother was contacted by your family a long time ago but she did not respond. She was still upset about her father leaving. My mother often asks me if I have found your family yet.

Re: Perez, Franco -- Tepatitlan, Jalisco, Mexico

mygenes2000 — 2011-08-22 05:26:37Z

I descend from Evaristo's brother Prosepero Perez Franco. I have worked on this family tree for over 3o years. Prospero left my greatgrandmother, Juana Ramirez and stared another family that our family believed to be near Evaristo's in the united states.
My mother, Juanita is a granddaughter of Prospero. She is 83 years old.
We would love to hear from the family. I have a lot of genealogical information to share.

Hello my name is Karina Orozco. My family is from Tepatitlan de Morelos Jalisco. I also am looking for information on Franco. I found out that my fathers grandfather was his step grandfather. My fathers real grandfather is Marcial Franco. Marcial was married to some lady & had 3 or 4 kids but she died. This is total drama but he had one of his sons & wife living in the house. His son passed away & got his own daughter-in-law(Maria) pregnant. So to hide this scandal he set up a marriage for her with a good friend of his whose name is Eusebio Orozco (my fathers step grandfather). Maria gave birth to my granfather Jose & he adopted the last name of Eusebio Orozco. My grandfathers name is Jose de Jesus Orozco he married Marcelina Navarro Vera. They live on a ranch near Tepatitlan called Presa La Red. Long story short everyone found out that my grandfather was son of Marcial & his other children hated my grandfather so they never contacted him in anyway. I found out some of the daughters of Marcials last name(when they got married) which is Medina & Plascencia. If any of this information is related to you please contact me I am very interested on finding more information of my great great grandfather side of the family.

Hi all! My grandfather is Agustin Franco as well. In addition to the previous comment made by my cousin Agustin, my uncle and godfather Jesus had no child of his own; however he raised a boy called Felipe. I guess Felipe was son of Petra which was sister of Jesus´s wife, Maria. My uncle Jesus had a haberdashery with his wife Maria. He died about middle eighties from some vascular disease. I hope these family details could be helpful. Greetings
