I'm looking for information on the Vela Family.
Manuel Vela born in Guerrero, Tamp, Mexico. I have no actual dates. He married Juliana Garza who was also from Guerrero, Tamp, Mexico. I have no actual birthdate for her. She did pass away in 1922 but it was in Texas. They had a son named Alvino Vela born December 16, 1885 in Guerrero, Tamp, Mexico he married Maria Del Refugio Garcia. She was from Nuevo Leon. She passed away in 1927 in Texas. Hoping someone out there is connected to or knows of this family.

If you are interested Borderlands Book Store in San Antonio has a book on our family. Title Los Velas de Revilla. Guerrero was originally named Revilla.

I am also a Manuel, named after my father, and greatgrand father, Manuel Maria Vela. We are all related thru Jorge Vela who came to Mexico in 1531 and received land in the lands of the Chichimecas. Francisco Vela. about 1625, from Cuencame, present day Durango is another direct ancestor.

Thank you for the information regarding the Book. I'd like to look into this. I have one named Los Vela de Revilla/Ciudad Guerrero. The author is Jose Felipe de la Pena. Is this the same book?
