I am looking for information about my great-great aunt, born Marie Thelma Grand in New York City 1910 and died Sept 1992 in Bexar County. May have last lived in Grey Forest, Texas.

I specifically would like to know any information about Marie Thelma Grand Hamilton Harrison's daughter, Jacqueline Hamilton, born in New York I think the 1930's.

Hi,
I am reaching out to my relations. I am a great great great (?) (I believe my grandmother, Esther Campbell Brown, was the grandaughter? daughter? of one of the children of Smith and Curbelo). I know a little about my San Antonio relations but not much and have been looking on the internet to find out more. My mother talks about her cousin Helen? having written a geneology which she offered to have me peruse but couldn't find when we went to look for it. As mom gets older, I would like to really know where I come from so I can let my daughter and her children (as they come) know.
Thanks so much,

Adam Fischer Sr. and Miller Descendants

guineamamma79 — 30 Jul 2008 3:30:42 GMT

I am trying to find out information about the half-brothers and sisters in the Adam Fischer Sr. (1844-1925) family. I think his first wife's name was Marie UNKNOWN. They immigrated from Germany in 1868. They had several children, one was named Gustav Adolph and another was named Herman (1900 Bexar County Census). The only one I could track down was Gustav Adolph Fischer (he died in 1945 and was a draftsman for the city of San Antnio for 37 years). Another child in the family was Mollie Fischer, mother unknown-she never married.
Gustav Fischer had two daughters: Anabelle & Lillian. Lillian married a Charles L. Miller. They had at least two children: Maria Antoinette and Chalres A. Miller. There were just too many Millers to try and trace them down past this. If anyone has any information on these families I would greatly appreciate it.
Adam Fischer Sr's second wife was Adella Jonas and they married in Bexar County in 1883. They also had several children. Adam Frank, Richard, Ida, and Adella. This family I have plenty of information on because of the Jonas connection. However I am mostly interested in finding out information on the descendants of his first wife and whatever happened to them all-- other than Gustav.
I may have inherited an old photo of Adam and Adella Jonas Fischer and would like to try and identify them. I inherited all the old photos of the family of Karl/Charles Jonas who was Adella's father. I am from the Frank Jonas family who was a brother to Adella.
I can be reached directly at guineamamma79@yahoo.com.
Thanks,
Linda Jonas Mullen

Alvin H. Walter Family

guineamamma79 — 30 Jul 2008 3:01:26 GMT

I am trying to locate a contact from the Alvin H. Walter family to help in identification of an old photo that may be his grandparents: Otto (1863-1891) & Alma Jonas Schaefer Arnold (1867-1929)from New Braunfels. They married in 1886 in Hortontown. Otto died in 1891 and then Alma remarried to Albert Arnold. Her and Otto had one daughter Lillie Schaefer who married a Richard Walter in 1907 and they had at least one son: Alvin Helmuth Walter who was born in 1921 in Bexar County. I have a photo of Alma, Lillie, and her second husband and Arnold children. I am fairly certain that one of the wedding photos that I inherited through the Karl Jonas family is Otto and Alma Jonas Schaefer taken in 1886 for their wedding photo.
My hope is that Lillie Schaefer Walter also inherited a similar photo from her mother and that the photo has remained and has also been passed down through the generations. I can be contacted directly at guineamamma79@yahoo.com.

Need direction on where/which library perhaps might have resources to find an obituary for James M. Allen died Bexar Co., Feb. 22, 1939. He was living in San Antonio in 1930 census. Anyone know if that year might be covered by newspaper microfilm at a library in the San Antonio area? Many thanks for your thoughts.

Alex L. Allen b. ca 1911, d. after 1976, need abstract of death certificate or oh joy, an obit

p8j8o8s8f8o — 15 Jul 2008 1:03:24 GMT

Dear Kind Volunteer,
I have traced Alex L. Allen b. ca 1911 to San Antonio. In the 1920 census he is 9, in the 1930, 19 working as a hotel bell boy in San Antonio. His brother Jesse F. Allen of Burnet died in 1976 and that obit says Alex was living in San Antonio. A relative also visited him in a nursing home there. I am assuming a death in Bexar Co. His parents were John Lovic Allen and Anna May Wilson. Alex was probably born in Wilson Co., TX but could have been born in Jeff Davis Co. as that is where he shows up in the 1920 census. Would anyone be willing to check available death records so I can determie a death date to get an obit? Many, many thanks for considering this for me.

cemetery search

laurie1401 — 24 May 2008 2:36:25 GMT

Please be on look out for burial site for Elizabeth Burnett Gilley.
Born 1856 died between 1900 and 1910 in San Antonio.

I haven't been able to locate her death record or where she is buried.
Perhaps there will be a headstone or marker where ever she is buried.

Rumored is that she died in childbirth in her early 50's. This child would have been her 13th baby. The child may be buried near her as well.

If there are cemetery volunteers out there in this area, please just keep an eye out if you see a site for this person.

I would certainly appreciate any help.

Old Campo Santo Cemetery

Robert Garcia — 6 Jul 2005 12:42:31 GMT

There are two schools of thought out there as to what happened to the bodies buried at the old Campo Santo (current Milam Park) in downtown San Antonio. Some folks say the bodies are still there and others believe the bodies were removed and reinterred at San Fernando Cemetery #1. If they were removed, does anyone know the date and has anyone ever located a newspaper article about such a move? Thanks for any help.

San Fernando, Campo Santo Cemetery

LoisKindlaSmith — 10 May 2008 2:24:28 GMT

Regarding the oldest "San Fernando Cemetery":

The very first Catholic cemetery in old San Antonio was within the grounds of the Alamo compound, where the Post Office Building is now. Next there was a San Fernando cemetery, maybe the same as "Campo Santo Cemetery." Bodies buried here may or may not have been removed from this area for the construction of Santa Rosa Hospital.

There is also now existing San Fernando No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3. Best place to find exact locations are the maps on FindAGrave.com. Please search for "Old Campo Santo Cemetery" in this Bexar County Message Board to find all the information I have turned up so far.

Andrew & Lillie Westmeyer

BarbaraMatthews13 — 7 May 2008 6:45:49 GMT

I am looking for any information I can get on the family of Andrew E and Lillie Westmeyer.

Andrew Westmeyer is the son of George & Emma Westmeyer. He was born abt 1893 in Indiana. Lillie his wife was born abt 1896 in Texas where I think they met.

Both Andrew and his father George were listed as Machinist on different Census.

I have found Anderw in the 1910 - Kenedy, Karnes, Texas with his parents and sister, Florence Westmeyer and with his wife Lillie in the 1920 - San Antonio Ward 7, Bexar, Texas and 1930 - San Antonio, Bexar, Texas Census.

I would love to know more about these people as I'm hoping to prove that Andrew's father, George Westmeyer is the 1/2 brother of my Great Grandmother Frances Renesch of Cincinnati, Ohio.

Thank you

Dear Volunteer,
Found a "person of interest" in the Texas Death Index: Eliga A. Satterfield died 15 Aug 1921, Certificate No. 21420. I am looking for an Elizabeth Amanda Satterfield and feel the "g" might be a "z". Elizabeth Amanda died after 1920 so this seems pretty close. Would you have time to get a synopsis of death certificate? Perhaps from that I can tell if an obit would be good to pursue. Again, many thanks for all you do!

George Thomas Howard - Mary Frances McCormick

wcbryson_1 — 23 Mar 2008 9:46:17 GMT

George Thomas Howard, of whom William E. Howard III wrote in your August 2002 Ancestry web posting, was my Great Great Grandfather. His daughter Isabel (Belle) Howard married Willis Green Edwards at St. Marks Episcopal Church, San Antonio. Their names are on a plaque in the narthex of St. Marks acknowledging their gift of pews (as I recall). Many of Willis Green and Belle Howard Edwards' descendants reside in Kerr County and San Antonio Texas where we have fond memories of Summers spent with our grandmothers' cottages during the 1930's, 40's, and 50's at a family enclave, Pleasure Hill, on the Guadalupe River between Ingram and Hunt. Willis' brother Frank Mudge Edwards purchased the Pleasure Hill property in July 1911. We Edwards descendants are planning a centennial celebration three years from now. All of the Pleasure Hill is still in family hands, most owned by first and second cousins of mine.

Bartholomeo Obriotti & Catarina de Cresto & Lina Obriotti Rodriguez

mqt — 10 Jan 2008 5:09:30 GMT

I am looking for information on Bartholomeo Obriotti (first and last names spelled variously) born abt. 1853 in Italy and his wife Catarina de Cresto born in Italy and their children who were born in Bexar Co. TX. I want to know where they came from in Italy and to confirm that they were the parents of Lina Obriotti Rodriguez who was born about 1882 in Texas and died on 21 Dec 1942 in San Antonio, Bexar, Texas.

The San Antonio City directories from 1891-94 list Bartholomeo as either having a saloon and grocery or just having a grocery. He lived at 1143 Laredo.

Per the 1900 Federal Census he still lived at 1143 Laredo, came to the US in 1881, was a widower and was a merchant. I do not know if he and Catarina were married in Italy or in the US. But Catarina had died by the 1900 census day. A Teresa Alberto (Ancestry reads it as Alberts) living with the family was a sister-in-law to Bartholomeo and a clerk in a store. She was born in Italy but no date of entering the US is given

I have not found Bartholomeo or Catarina in Ancestry's immigration records. I am not familiar with Italian immigration patterns to Texas so do not know what ports Italian immigrants in the 1880s used to get to Texas or if many went through Canada.

In the LDS IGI index I have found baptismal records for two of Bartholomeo and Catarina's children, Madalena Lina b. 1 Feb 1882 San Antonio Bexar TX and bapt. 22 Jan 1884 at St. Fernando's RCC, San Antonio, Bexar, TX and Domenico b. 5 Oct 1893 San Antonio, Bexar, TX and bapt. 25 Nov 1893.

The census never shows Madalena Lina living with the family. She might be the Lina Obriotti who married a Jose Rodriguez in about 1898 at age 16. The Obriotti family listed in the 1900 census was: Barthe Obnitta 47 head, Joe Obnitta son 16, Neo Obnitta son 14, Louie Obnitta, son 12, Johnnie Obnitta son 10, Treasas Obnitta daughter 8, Dannie Obnitta son 6 and Tessa Alberto (or Alberts) sister-in-law 27.

I do not find Bartholomeo in the 1910 census. At 108 Lopez we find Joe Obriotti head, 26, salesman wholesale grocer, Ned (Nat?)Obriotti brother 23, bottler at brewery, Louis Obriotti brother 21, salesman store , John Obriotti, brother, 19, salesman store, Domenica Obriotti, brother 17, no occupation given and Eugene Artzt, boarder, 26 a musician in a band.

Records kept by Catholic Diocese pertaining to Mission Espada

SusanGarcia19 — 8 Jan 2007 2:53:45 GMT

I'm researching my husband's grandfather, Pablo Trevino (1896-1961) and just realized he was baptized in San Francisco de la Espada, one of the mission churches.

I have a certificate of baptism from 1957 stating his baptism was in 1896 by Fr. Bouchu. It lists Pablo's parents, and his sponsors. And also where to find the info in the baptismal records, vol, page, no.

I want to find out more about Pablo's parents, about which I know almost nothing except their names, Cayetano (Caietano) and Grabiela Trevino. I think this might have been their home church.

What kinds of records does the diocese hold on these churches? Would I be able to search parishioners lists for the mid to late 1800s? Or search for the baptisms of Pablo's siblings? Or maybe even his parents. I am able to travel to San Antonio to go through records myself, or if anyone has a contact I can go through first.

Cordelia Hyatt Myers Vickroy d. 1897 San Antonio, Texas

shaslam100 — 31 Mar 2007 11:02:03 GMT

I am searching for any information on Cordelia Hyatt Myers Vickroy, who seems to have died on March 24, 1897 in San Antonio, Texas. I am researching her husband's family and she might have been his second wife. I am confused over why she ended up in Texas (if she did) and where her purported daughter, Helen, was! What I know is very limited and is not confirmed except through information on familysearch.com. It appears that Cordelia married Thomas R. Vickroy in St. Louis, Missouri in March 1889. Cordelia was born Apr 1861 in St. Louis, Missouri. I do not show her in any census records after her marriage to Thomas since the 1890 census was mostly lost and by the 1900 census she had apparently died in Texas (the information I have is that she died in 1897). In the 1900 St. Louis, MO census, Thomas is shown with another wife (maybe #3) by the name of Catherine...who was 26 years old...he was 66. The record on familysearch.com shows that Thomas and Cordelia married and had a daughter by the name of Helen born in 1890...but I never find a record of Helen in any subsequent Census records since Thomas died in 1904.

I have searched all of the available online information and cannot find a marriage and/or divorce in Missouri for Thomas or Cordelia...it could be there..I just can't find it. I can't find a death record in San Antonio for Cordelia under her maiden name or her married name in 1897. If anyone can provide any help...it would be greatly appreciated. You can reply by email to shaslam100@yahoo.com

Chunn, Paul marriage record

Myramarsh — 29 Dec 2007 9:01:33 GMT

Looking for marriage record between 1916 and 1918 for Paul Chunn and his bride "Rosie." Assume they married while he was stationed at Camp Staley, TX in Bexar County. Paul Chunn was assigned to Battery E 4th Field Artillery. "Rosie" died on Feb 8th, 1919 at USA Gen. Hospital #15 in Corpus Christi about three weeks following the birth of their only daughter, Ruth Chunn. Death certificate on "Rosie" list no maiden name, only that she was 17 years old at time of her death from Influenza and Broncho Pneumonia.
Requested records from National Personel Records Center for Military Personnel in St. Louis but their response was that a fire destroyed the major portion of records for the period 1912 through 1959. I am seeking to identify "Rosie" b. abt. 1902 probably in Texas through a marriage record to Paul Chunn, hopefully kept at Bexar County. Would appreciate hearing from anyone with other suggestions. Many thanks in advance for your time.

pkessel — 10 Sep 2007 8:35:22 GMT

I would like to contact descendants of George Percival Philips and Willie Helen (Dacus) Philips. They were married in San Antonio @ 1900 and raised their children there. They had two sons who reached adulthood, John Pendleton Philps and William Wallace Philips. I'm putting together a history of the Dacus family that Willie belonged to and am searching for additional family information from this line.

Thanks -

Looking for 1941 Obit. for John A Sams

I would really appreciate help looking up an obituary for my grandfather, John A Sams, who died Dec 10, 1941 in San Antonio. He was in business and lived in the area for 28 years. I have his death certificate but no info at all on his life, work, religious affiliation, second wife, or Texas or West Virginia relatives. A lookup or recommendation for a local researcher would be very much appreciated.

Can anyone tell me what information the city death records have? I'm interested in a couple from 1893, but I don't know if it's worth sending for them. If anyone's gotten an old death record from the city, please let me know what info they contain. Thanks.

Frank Peter Sanchez (29 Apr 1835 San Antonio, TX - 20 Feb 1877 Warrington, FL)

peka199 — 15 Dec 2007 2:45:08 GMT

Frank Peter Sanchez was my gg-grandfather. He was born in San Antonio according to his tombstone. He married Margaret Mary Devoy (20 July 1842 Ireland - 19 Aug 1894 Pensacola, FL) on 22 Dec 1859 in Mobile Alabama.

He is listed in the 1860 Census of Mobile, Mobile Co., AL. On this he is listed as 26, a wheelwright, born in Spain.

He and Margaret are buried in St. Michael's Cemetery in Pensacola, Escambia Co., FL.

I would like to know who his parents were, where he was actually born, what was the cause of his death, and anything else I can learn. I have the names of his children and information of what happened to the family after his death.

Thanks!

Newspaper or Obituary Avaliability

nanny261 — 8 Dec 2007 3:26:29 GMT

Where can I find San Antonio newspapers published this year that are readily available? Specifically, January of this year may contain an obituary for a James U. S. G. Park descendant from Pennsylvania. Would like to determine if Gretchan Gwaltney is identified as such in an obituary on or about 16Jan2007.
