my mother, Andrea Abrego, was born in El Ranchito in 1936. El Ranchito is a part of La Paloma county, near San Benito.
her brother was Federico Abrego. Abrego was her mother's maiden name. Her mother was Esperanza Abrego. Her mom died in 1944.
I know of my father's family and history; however my mom's father always seemed to be a mystery. Living in Chicago; it's quite hard for me to get to Texas and figure it out. My mother met her father a couple of times, his name was Rafael Isazi (spelling is what was on certificate).
She mentioned when she was 16, a woman by the name of Marina (sp?) told her that she was her half sister, but when she told her family; she was told quickly to forget about that information and never bring it up again. Here aunts, Rebecca and Beatrice made sure to have my mother never see her father after her mom died. I don't know why and what to find out.
If any one knows of Marina, I would like to know who my grandfather was. If I'm bringing out any 'calaveras' out of the closet and you wish not to tell me; I understand. With warm regards from a Windy City. thanks
