Brick wall- Canales-I have Anastacio Canales, b. 1849 registered in Mier Mex..- immig/naturalized in 1877 to TX. He married Librada Guiterrez in Duval county Dec.15, 1877.

He is not buried in her cemetery or at least there is no stone. Other local Realitos cemeteries have been searched by foot. No luck. She was a midwife.

Please check the following website:

for Anestacio Canales' death. He could be the one that died in 1942 in Robstown,Tx. For obituary you could check the Caller.com website. I did find Librada had only been in Realitos for 1 month when she died. Her family was the Juan Gutierrez and Antonia Chapa family who was originally from Guerrero, Tamaulipas before settling in South Texas. There is a Juan Canales, Sr. that died in 1960 in Tienditas that lists Anestacio Canales and Librada Gutierrez as parents with Servando Canales as informant.

Try the pilot website; it is great. If you click on the black square to the left of the name, you can actually see the death record or census record.

Another good source for this family is Jerry, Sr. that runs Jerry's Diner in San Diego. He ties in to the Cantu/Gutierrez family which is where Librada Gutierrez decends from. Good luck.
