Re: Familia Manriquez

Hi Everybody,

My Name is Geri Shuster(Manriquez) and I have been a member for quite awhile. I have sat in the background and watched, listened to comments, questions. I am a little nervous but am ready to ask for help from those of you on this site that are so very generous.
I know that my Grandfather was Serapio Manriquez (from my dad's Juan B.'s birth record) Serapio was b:14 Nov 1896, Lerdo, Durango, Mexico? I found this on his death record 13 Feb 1932 Clemenceau, Yavapai Co, Arizona) However, I can not find any information about him in Mexico, only records after he came to the U.S.(border crossing in 1916). My grandmother, his wife was Francisca Badillo (Vadillo on her death record) which was filled out in the presence of her Mom and Dad(Francisco Vadillo and Cruz Alvarez). I am not able to find her birth, baptism, or their marriage records. I suspect the names are what is holding me back. I have talked with living relatives and they were not known by any other names. (I have tried to add Maria and Jose of course)

I have gone back all the way to Spain on the Manriquez tree, however can we be sure that it is the right tree without verification of birth record or something that ties us to that line without proof?

This is a far as I have gone, there may be some mistakes, but I tried to verify all the records by more than one source, if possible. Hope you can help me verify my Grandfather Serapio's baptism or marriage. I thank you all for you considerations.

Note: There is a record of Manuel Manriquez and Ma. Isabel Gomez having a child Je. Serapio Manriquez on 14 Nov 1895. Serapio had an older brother Manuel born in 1880 which would make him 15 when this child was born???
