Hello. My name is David Russell Vargas. My paternal grandmother was Micaela Garcia Vargas, who was the sister of Steve (and Kalisco (Kelly), Daniel, and Paul. She was actually considerably older that Steve.

I believe that I was able to locate the family in the 1930 U. S. Census information at a location in Contra Costa County, California. Based on that record, Steven was born in 1925 or 1926 somewhere in California. In that record, there are listed:

Stephen Garcia, head; M, 44, Married, born in Mexico
Brihida Garcia, wife; F, 38, Married, born in Mexico
Caley Garcia, son; M, 20, Single, born in Mexico
Michal Garcia, son?; M?, 17, Single, born in Mexico
Daniel Garcia, son; M, 9, Single, Born in California
Esteven Garcia, son; M, 5, Single, Born in California
Paul Garcia, son; M, 3, Single, Born in Calfornia
Samuel Garcia, son; M, 2/12, Single, Born in California

I believe that this last child is actually my uncle Sam, who is the oldest child of Micaela (who I think it listed erroneously as a male child based on confusion over the name). Sam's last name is actually Vargas, but given potential language barriers during the census, it's possible that there was misunderstanding about who was who and the relationships between them.

Let me know if this is the family that you're thinking of. I've only started digging a little deeper in this family unit, so I would love to find out what information you may have.

Thanks,
David R. Vargas
