Database/Book

South Texas and Northeast Mexico
Genealogy Database and Family Book

Family Book

After much consideration I have decided to produce a book containing all of the families and names contained in the database. It is currently over 400 pages and contains close to 6000 families from South Texas and Northeast Mexico for the years 1500 thru 1900 (approx). The purpose of the book will be to help genealogists and other researchers to trace complete branches on their family trees. It would be the equivalent of searching many different record books and other documents. I have taken much of the work out of compiling a complete list of families. Keep in mind that this work is never 100 percent complete but represents the "core" of families and surnames for this area. The book will be organized as families sorted alphabetically and numbered accordingly. Each individual in the book will have an id number in parenthesis. If an individual has parents and/or a spouse a family number preceded by an "F" and surrounded by brackets will indicate the number of the family where that individual also appears. You can check out a sample of 3 pages of the book of what this section of the book will look like. The following is the sections I have under consideration.

Database Statistics

The Genealogy Database I will offer is not simply just a list of names, dates and places. All individuals in the database are linked in one way or another and presented as lineages. Simply speaking, the further back you go in the database, the more descendants there will be for any one particular person. Some lineages end in the 17 or 18th centuries, some continue on to the early 20th century.

A lot of genealogical information is available though various sources including Family History Centers, Genealogical books, Baptism, Marriage and Burial records, Wills and Testaments, etc. The data is obtainable by anyone who seeks it, the only problem is the time and effort involved in compiling it. Think of it as a huge jigsaw puzzle, with the pieces of that puzzle scatterred throughout hundreds of different places. Some pieces are lost for ever, some are just hard to find.

Although I will be offering the database on a fee basis, I will not be charging for the information itself, but for the work of compiling it and presenting in a way which can be used by other people doing similar research.

Notable People listing
This is a work in progress.

In this section I will list the names of some of the better known people and of historical interest that are contained in the genealogical database.

More to Come... A lot of them are already in there, just need to figure which are worthy of mention.

Surname listing

Please note: These are directly from the database and there may be some repeats due to different spellings. They are not all Spanish, there are some Italian and French names here as well as Anglo names. The Anglo names such as Smith, are here by marriage, although some of the other surnames evolved into Spanish-like names. The number in parenthesis represents represents how many people by that surname are contained in the database.

The "DE" in front of the surname is used to identify the generation. For example all the people with DE-MONTEMAYOR as a surname are from the first generation of that particular branch. Subsequent generations drop the "DE" changing into simply just MONTEMAYOR. This general rule does not apply to "DE LA", "DE LOS" and "DEL"

This database will be available sometime in the future probably on a fee basis. A great value I assure you, since I plan to offer it for about $25 with something like 10,000 individuals and over 2500 families. Of course this will be only the initial phase as I will continue to add names to the database and offer free upgrades via Email. Typically the database will be offered in several formats including GEDCOM and PAF. At least ninety percent of these individuals were born before 1900. The database is specific to this geographical area, South Texas, Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon, Coahuila etc. This project is still a few months away from completion.

Places Listing

This is a list of places for people from the database. By no means, am I implying that I have complete family histories for all of the places. It could be that one person from the database was born in one of these places. On the otherhand it could also mean that I have hundreds of marriages from that one place. In the future as time permits, I will provide a breakdown of the events and where they transpired. By events, I mean births, baptisms, marriages, burials etc.. In addition, I have condensed the list and limited only to South Texas and Northern Mexico.
