Aguascalientes Ancestry Info Found for Esparza/Gamez Family


By Visitor - Posted on 31 July 2006

Hi,
I am new to this forum. I am doing my husband's geneology. His descendants are from Aguascalientes, Mexico. I am new at this Family Geneology searching but I think I made some real strides last night. I went to Familysearch.org looking for my husband Hector's grandmother on his father's side. I noticed that Mexico was one of the choices for location so I gave it a try. Boy, I hit the jackpot. I found his father's birth info, grandparents, great grandparents, and I think even great,greats! Here is a summary of what I found:

I am very interested in more information on Luis Esparza's family tree. I think he may have moved to the states as day laborer and may have had another family in the states. He also had a son named Jesus Esparza, my husband's godfather who was born after Martin Gamez, my husband's father. My husband would really like to speak to anyone who knew his father Martin because he left the household when my husband was very young and never had contact. He found that he died in 1988 right before he had a search company find his records. Heart breaking to say the least. I hope I helped any of you out with the info. Any info would greatly be appreciated!
