Surnames: Mendoza Brito Lujan Valerio Navarette Barraza Rivas
My family are descended of the Mendoza-Brito families from the area of Ojinaga/Presidio.

My great great grandfather and his family Cecilio Lujan Mendoza was married to my great great grandmother Dorotea Rivas Brito, together they had 8 children, one was my great grandfather Juan Brito Mendoza of Valentine and Van Horn Texas.

I know that the Mendoza/Brito families lived for some time in the following towns: San Antonio Del Bravo (Chihuahua), Candelaria, Barrancos(sp?), Ruidosa, Coyame, Pilares/Porvenir. I have found many of their records at the church in Ojinaga - Parroquia de Jesus Nazareno which used to be Presidio Del Norte.

If you feel you may be related, please let me know so we can talk about family history. I have a lot of information on the Brito family from this area. Need more information on the Mendoza's.

My great great great grandparents were:

Jose Maria Mendoza
Maria De Jesus Lujan (also called Jesusita or Jesus Lujan in some family spellings)

On the Brito side it was:

Dolores Brito married to Maria Anacleta Valerio

I am also related to the Navarette and Barraza families of the same area (Valentine, Van Horn, Presidio, etc.)
