I'm trying to find out if my wife is related to General Francisco Coss. Her great grandfather was Francisco Edmund R. Coss. The family story is that he was the son of a man named Francisco Coss, but I don't know if that is the same man as the General. And the family story continues back a couple more generations, we think, to General Martin Perfecto de Cos -- who took part in the Battle of the Alamo during the Mexican-American War. But I can find no documentation for any of these connections, and it is particularly hard because I do not speak Spanish.

Do you know any information about the children of General Francisco Coss? And do you know if he happened to be the grandson of General Martin Perfecto de Cos?
