I am about to publish a manuscript on James Alexander Forbes (born in 1803 in Scotland, arrived in Yerba Buena [San Francisco] in 1831, married Maria Anita Galindo in 1834 at the Santa Clara Mission) and his descendents for 3 generations. His oldest son Charles married Maria Olvera in 1864 in the Los Angeles Plaza Church. Please reply with your contact information if you have any information or photographs that you would like included.

Re: Olveras of Coahuila

solvera_1 — 2011-05-04 03:51:23Z

My father was born in Torreon, Coahuila. His name was Dario, his mothers name was Petra and his fathers name was Nasario I believe, not sure. We still have family there but I don't remember their names. One time long ago a distant cousin from Torreon visited my sister when he came to El Paso. Reason was he was looking for a car, como si no hubiera carros en Torreon, LOL. We went out for drinks one day and I never saw him again after that as he left for Mexico.I have more info on where in Torreon he was from but I would have to look for it. My father had half-sisters and half-brothers as his dad remarried or something.

we come from durango to torreon, mexico

solvera_1 — 2011-05-04 03:23:03Z

My grandparents on my fathers side came to Torreon from Durango Mexico and then Cd. Juarez, Chihuahua. Some stayed in Juarez but my father immigrated to El Paso, Texas when he was around 17. His mothers name was Petra and his fathers name was Nasario, I think. My father was born in 1906 and died at 89. We still have family in Torreon and Juarez but we don't keep in touch. Some family went to California and live in the Benning, Ca. area. I read somewhere that there was an Olvera in Cortez' expedition to the new world. When I was little, before the age of 10, there were only 3 families in the phone book, now we fill up a whole page.

Re: Olvera to Rivera

appioriley — 2010-07-15 18:38:19Z

My Mother's Maiden name is Reyna but it was changed from Olvera when my great grandfather fell out with his father. His name was Pedro Olvera. His wife's name was Reyna. I understand that My great, great grandfather Pedro Olvera was from Spain. My mother briefly lived with his relative in Kyle, Texas. This was Santiago Olvera. He had the Castillano accent as well. I am not sure if they were brothers or cousins but I do know they were both from Spain and moved to Mexico. Pedro and Santiago that is. My great grandfather said he came from Hacienda del Panuelo, Mexico. I am not sure where that is.

Munoz de Olbera/Munos de Olvera of southern Chihuahua, Mexico

Ernie_Alderete — 2009-11-30 15:06:00Z

I invite anyone with Munoz de Olbera roots in southern Chihuahua and northern Durango, what was once New Biscay/Nueva Viscaya, to check my maternal family tree to see if we have a connection. My tree now stretches back more than two thousand years, and intersects with thousands of families.

Captain Juan Munoz de Olbera and Margarita Ponce de Leon verified in the first, and second marriage records of their daughter Ana Maria Gertrudis Munos de Olbera.
Juan Munoz de Olvera was listed as deceased by the time of his daughter’s first marriage in 1726.

In 1712 Captain Juan Munoz de Olbera owned a flour mill and hacienda with 500 head of cattle, and 100 horses about one league from the pueblo of San Bartolome according to the book: Governance and Society in Colonial Mexico: Chihuahua in the 18th Century by Cheryl English Martin.

According to the book, Captain Juan Munoz de Olbera’s father also held a military title, and owned a hacienda.

Mi Tia Ucedia stated at family reunion this year that Bernabe olbera (also spelled Beneva Obbera) was born in Mexico and could have been Aztec indian. This will give me something to research. Thank you

Re: Looking for ancestors

olverab — 2009-07-14 02:25:49Z

We have a Gregorio Olbera/Olvera (depends on who you talk to) who was my grand fathers brother his wife is Ucedia we just saw her at family reunion. I have all their dates and such but depending on the time line I am wondering if could possibly be g grandpa Bernabe's (also spelled Beneva Obbera) brother??? A cousin said g grandpa was full blood apache born in Mexico but cant prove that. So I really would like to find possible brothers or sisters to my g grandpa...he married Luciano Guerrera who was born in Floresville. So hope this helps.

Olvera to Rivera

home2mperez — 2009-03-29 07:44:50Z

I'm also trying to locate information on my great, great grandparents. My great grandfather was Pedro Olvera or maybe Olbera married to Francisca Peralta. I believe they may have been from Durango, Mexico but not certain. Sometime between my great grandfather and grandfather the surname changes to Rivera??? I don't have any idea why that is...Any help is appreciated.

Re: Looking for ancestors

home2mperez — 2009-03-29 07:27:33Z

Interesting...I'm also trying to locate information on my great, great grandparents. My great grandfather was Gregorio Olvera of "La Ochoa" in Durango. For some reason my great grandfather changes surname to Rivera and the family becomes Rivera sometime in the early to mid 1900's...
