Hello my name is Alex Sanchez. My great-great grandfather was Francisco Devora born 1864 in fresnillo, zacatecas. His siblings were Anastacia Devora born 1867 in fresnillo, Tomas Devora born 1868 in fresnillo, and Longina Devora 1871 born in fresnillo Also. Their parents were Carlos Devora and Maria Carmen Vasquez. Carlos's parents were Romulo Devora and Cresencia Salazar. Maria's parents were Genaro Vasquez and Dolores Gurrola. I found all this information off the LDS website familysearch.org from copies of the catholic church records so this information is correct as far as I know. So Francisco had a first wife Juana Canales 1876-1899. I haven't found any children from them. After Juana died Francisco married Maria Refugio Perez From Sombrerete, Zacatecas. They were married in Suchil, Durango and eventually made it to Los Angeles and during the depression in 1930 went back to mexico to Potam, Sonora, Mx. That is as much as I have been able to find in the last 5 years. I am still searching because like you all I want to know where they came from. I have heard the name may be German or Jewish and also that there are many Devoras in the Canary Islands. In the 1860s I believe France owned Zacatecas for a couple of years and then got kicked out. Anyhow I will keep working on this. Any questions, I would love to help :) Alex
