Finding Gabriel Chavez

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the site and wish to introduce myself and my quest for information on my husband's family in Aguascalientes. His Great Grandfather was Gabriel Chavez Martinez, who owned and operated silver mines in the Mesillas area of Tepezala, Aguascalientes. He later moved to Aguascalientes City where he owned and operated the Hotel Paris (now a government building) and the first Ford automobile agency in that city. I have been unable to trace him following his birth record, so any help you might give me would be greatly appreciated. Carol Adams-Ramos
