    ts September! Summer has come andgone. All our plans to work on genealogyresearch, to travel, to visit the grandchil-

    dren are either accomplished or just touchedupon. For many, the month of September is atime for a new beginningseeing your kidsand grandkids go back to school, gearing upto the holidays, window shopping for thingsyou see as gifts rather than just passing them

    by. For some it becomes another period oftravel, this time just in cooler weather.

    ***** Those of you who attended the Federa-tion of Genealogical Society Conference hadyour eyes opened by the new technology, theEuropean history that is available, and howtolay out your research. The Los Bexareos publications made ahit with several archivists at the FGS Confer-ence. Hopefully, our collection of publicationswill be added to two or three more librariesacross the country. I was encouraged when I visited the LosBexareos booth at the FGS Conference to seeyounger people perusing and buying LBGHS

    publicationsmore so than at other booths.This reflects that our children are interestedinresearching their roots too. As a society wemust do more outreach. Speaking of youngpeople, we want to congratulate our twoscholarship winners: Eric Benavides andPamela Tovar as they too begin their newsemesters.

    ***** Because of our involvement at the FGSConference, there were several requests forspeakers by groups in and around SanAntonio. There may be a need to develop an

    LBGHS Speakers Committee. If you wouldlike to participate in the LBGHS SpeakersCommittee, please let me know via email ordrop me a line at Los Bexareos P.O. Box. Wewill come up with a history of the Society andother things we do. Besides a general intro-duction about the Society, you may want totalk about your special interest. If you have atopic that could be presented in 10-25 minutesto a group, let us know. This would provideus with other topics to present.

    Make plans for the THGH Conference. Thbuzz from many folks is that the new McAlleLibrary is the biggest in the country.

    *****

At what period they became hereditary is a difficult problem. Manoccupation names were descriptive and could be varied. In the Middle Ages, at lea

    smallholdings. In early documents, surnames often refer to the actual holder ofwhether the church or state. In the 8th century, Spain fell under the control of the Moors, and this influence, which lathe 12th century, has also left its mark on Hispanic surnames.

    Fue presidente municpal en tres ocasiones. La primer en el ao de899-1900, despus en 1911, y en 1913, un ao turbulento por el asesinato

    de Madero, por lo que comparti el periodo municpal con don Jess Faras.Sin duda alguna se puede considerar uno de los ms sobresalientes alcaldesue ha tenido Piedras Negras cuando esta poblacin se llamada Cuidad

    Porfirio Das. Un rasgo excepcional de este servidor del pueblo fue queuando sirvi como funcionario pblico, nunca cobr sueldo alguno.

    La recaudacin municipal durante su primera gestin era muy exigua,as contributiones no eran suficientes para cubrir el gasto pblico, y susngresos extraordinarlios eran por el concepto de los ingresos de la ferianual, y con este presupuesto tan austero, logr emprender la construccin

    del Palacio Municipal, un edificio que se ubicaba en aquel entonces en la callearez, con un diseo arquitectnico denominado Art Nouveau y que fuenaugurado en 1899. ste despert la admiracin de propios y extraos

    durante su existencia, sin embargo, lamentablemente en la dcada de llos 60,

    iniciativa del Programa Nacional Fronterizo, se propuso construir unaPuerta de Mxico, y dispuso que este inmuelble se derrumbara y seonstruyera otro, pero sobre la calle Abasolo. En 1889 se acord construirle

    una torre a la iglesia de Guadalupe, con este motivo don Rafael Mzquiz

    adquiri un reloj monumental que donara a la parroquia, sin embargo, construy dicha torre y tiempo despes, don Hilario le pidi que donarareloj para lucirlo en el nuevo edificio municpal. Por otra parte, orde

    construccin de la primera escuela para nias en 1900. Su visin en cual progreso se percibe cuando solicit al Congreso del Estado que permitiera la construccin de una lnea telefnica, misma que se autsegn el decreto nmero 809 del 21 de diciembre de 1899, donde se espeque se aprob el contrato que con fecha 29 de noviembre celebr el Ejeccon el Sr. Hilario Delgado para el establecimiento y explotacin de una telefnica entre Ciudad Porfirio Daz y Allende, incluendo las poblaciintermedias. En lo particular, se dedic al comercio de abarrotes y madesu establecimiento era administrado por su hijo Antonio, quien se distin

    por su gran iniciativa. An sobrevive la construccin de una construida por l, y se localiza en la calle Galleana esquina con Guerrque ya se encuentra muy deteriorada.

    Este extinto caballero procre tambin a dos hijas: Mara de los n

    Delgado y la profesora Esperanza Delgado, quien se distingui comogran maestra del piano en el norte de Mxico.

    El 12 de octubre de 1911, la poblacin de Piedras Negras sufriinundacin y con el fin de proporcionar un apoyo enconmico adamnificados, el 22 de febrero de 1912 se constituy una Junta de Soco

    presidida or el Dr. Lorenzo Cant y como tesorero se nombr a don HiDelgado, dicha junta logr reunir la cantidad de treinta mil setecieochenta y cinco pesos.

    Federation of Genealogical Societies Conference

    The Federation of Genealogical Societies Conference just ended. There were fiveLBGHS members that worked at the four day conference. Three of us registered forthe conference, and we signed up to volunteer. This was our first time to attend anFGS Conference. It was held at the Henry B. Gonzales Convention Center. I wasinformed that it had been 10 years since FGS last held a conference here in SanAntonio. If you registered for the conference you were given the opportunity to

    volunteer and receive a discount off your registration fee. Depending on the numberof hours worked FGS offered volunteers a reimbursement of 20% to 65% as a way toshow their appreciation.

    It proved to be a very long week from assembling bags, to Room Monitor, toRegistration, to working in other areas, plus attending the sessions in between. Weworked hard in our volunteer duties; we attended sessions from how to build astronger society, to how to analyze DNA results, to using new media tools, and tohow to write and publish your family history. A "Cyber Cafe" was available at theExhibit Hall where attendees could download portions of their syllabus. There was"Blogging," "Tweeting," and FaceBook posting taking place throughout the confer-ence. We met new people, made new friends and contacts and we gained a newmember. Because of our visibility at this conference, Los Bexareos Genealogical and

    Historical Society is now a little better known within the genealogical community. Iwould like to acknowledge Santiago Escobedo and Luis Morales for their hard workat the Los Bexareos booth in the Exhibit Hall during the conference. I'd also like torecognize and congratulate Mary Esther Escobedo and Mara Tovares-Ashmanskasfor their well given presentations which touched on the roadblocks that one can en-counter in doing Hispanic genealogical research. The presentations were listed asbeing presented by Los Bexareos Genealogical and Historical Society. JosHernndez was also a volunteer. We all left exhausted but feeling accomplished!

    Some members of Los Bexareos will begin meeting this month for thepreparation of the Texas State Historical and Genealogical Conference in 2018. Wecontinue to receive compliments about the conference we presented in 2011. Witheveryones help, we can do it again!

    s the crown jewel of our blended Hispanic and NativeAmerican family roots in Texas, the Tejano Monument in

    Austin, Texas shines bright on the south lawn of the stateapitol building.Since its unveiling in March 2012, Austin residents, government

    officials, tourists, and school children visiting our state capital arenow able to see for the very first time, a memorial dedicated to therue founding of this great place we call Texas.

    All Texans should be proud of the efforts led by CayetanoBarrera, M.D. from McAllen, Texas, and carried out most ably by theTejano Monument, Inc. Committee members: Dr. Andrs Tijerina,Renato Ramrez, Homero Vera, Richard Snchez, Jaime Beaman, ando many others, such as Estella and William Zermeo, Benny

    Martnez, and dedicated working group members. ArmandoHinojosa, Laredo, deserves special credit for his gifted artistic

    reation. In bronze and stone, he expresses the dignity that Tejanodescendants feel in their hearts.

    Helping to tell our incredible early Texas story, the following listof deeds keeps growing, considering that the concerted effort beganust a few short years ago:

    1. Our Native American kin has relentlessly tried to dispelundignified movie myths about cultures originating in whatsnow the U.S. There are plenty of sites on the internet featuringeach groups goal to preserve their heritage. This is cruciallearning for Mexican Americans because being Native Americanis what makes us Mexican-descent people of the Southwest.

    2. For years, Mr. Dan Arellano has organized tribute events toremember the 1st Texas Revolution (1810-1813); the first Presi-dent of Texas, Don Bernardo Gutirrez de Laras reading of the1st Texas Declaration of Independence and the 1st Texas Consti-

    tution (1813); the Battle of Medina (BOM) memorial archeological digs.

    3. An Austin school district has already set up Tejano hislessons as part of its school curriculum. The Laredo ISDadded a block of early Laredo history in the curriculum aalma mater Martin High School. Others are in the procesdoing the same.

    4. Dr. Andrs Tijerina is part of an effort by the Texas SHistorical Association to identify and record long-forgotten eTexas Spanish Mexican historical sites.

    5. More recently, Dr. Tijerina and Dr. Emilio Zamora plus oare also putting together what will be a Tejano History segmof Texas Handbook of History Online.

    6. Mr. Bill Millet has produced a long-awaited PBS film entTexas before the lamo.

    7. Thanks to Texas State Representative Eddie RodriguezAustin), a proclamation (H.R. 1411) was read honoring the 2Anniversary of the first Texas Constitution (1813-2013).

    8. The Texas State Hispanic Genealogy/History Soci(Austin, Dallas, Corpus Christi, El Paso, East Texas, HouLaredo, San Antonio, Victoria, and Zapata) continue to spthe word regarding our early Texas pioneer families. ALaredos Webb Co. Heritage Foundation; Edinburgs MuseuSouth Texas History, and Zapata County Museum of Hipreserve early Texas history via their unique memorabilia displays.

    9. Mr. Renato Ramrez, Chairman of the Board/CEO, Zapata, continues to promote mariachi bands at UT-AuTexas A&M Kingsville, and Texas A&M College Station.efforts are designed to raise funds to assure awarenesmariachi musics vital influence in Texas history.

    Texas Mariachi style roots are much older than other musicgenres in Texas that came after 1836.

    10. Last but certainly not least, in the information managementarena, Mimi Lozano (Somos Primos) has spent great amounts ofher energy, time, and talents to provide a one-stop shop onlineweb site for a worldwide audience learning about Hispanichistory; Armando Rendn does as well with Somos En Escrito;there is also Beto Caldern; Foro de Comunicacin; as well as theonline LARED-L list server; Steve Taylor, Ro Grande Guardian;Dr. Lino Garca, Jr.s FESTIBA events at UTPA; LareDos; Mr. RudiRodrguez of Texas Tejano is pressing on with plans for aWilliamsburg-style Tejano Village permanent interactive exhibitin downtown San Antonio; and my own web site:

    www.tejanosunidos.org

    My apologies if Im forgetting someone.

    Yet, our Tejano heritage is under attack. The threats are constant.The most recent refugee-related situation at the border is cause toworry. Certain politicians and media are raising the temperature ofhe immigration debate by questioning our Spanish Mexican heritagend Spanish language on this side of the border. To ensure we

    each our goal to educate others about our rich story, the best defenses a good offense. Lets combine our hard work.

    As such, I make three appeals.

    (1) To our Native American brethren, join us in our quest.The wicked border fence impacts Navajo and ApacheNations much more than it does Mexican-descentBorderlands families. Its time to reaffirm our bloodlineancestral family ties.

    (2)To Early Texas history aficionados mentioned above. Allof our worthy efforts will be for naught unless we pushtogether. At every turn, lets reject any attempt to diminishour heritage.

    (3) To our extended family living in the Ro Grande Valley.You are now center stage due to the on-going immigrationdebate. Critics of your way of life who are just recently

    becoming aware of the border dont understand why thereare so many Mexican-descent Texans who choose to speakSpanish as their language of choice. Only through learningof early Texas history will they discover why it is we are notimmigrants in the U.S. To learn more, make plans to attendthe 35th Annual Texas State Hispanic Genealogy andHistorical Conference in McAllen, Texas on September 25-27.

    In closing, our past deeds do pave our way to the future. Howo we fulfill our future? By speaking with one voice under anAztln-Euro Alliance umbrella or something similar. Individually,

    we represent a small group and cause a small ripple in the ocean ofublic opinion. However, as a combined force, we will orchestrate

    millions of voices causing an impact of tsunami proportions.Bottom line: If we dont do it ourselves, no one else is going to

    o it for us. !

    Tejanos, volunteers from the United States, and Native

    American allies made a courageous bid to liberate Texas

    from the Spanish empire, leading to the first Texas

    Declaration of Independence on April 6, 1813; and

    WHEREAS, On September 16, 1810, Father Miguel Hidalgo

    y Costilla and his followers seized the prison at Dolores,

    TEXAS' FIRST DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

    issued from San Antonio de Bxar, April 6, 1813.

    We, the people of the province of Texas, calling on the Supreme Judge of the Universe to witness the rectitude of our intentions,declare, that the ties which held us under the domination of Spain and Europe, are forever dissolved; that we possess the right to establish

    a government for ourselves; that in the future all legitimate authority shall emanate from the people to whom alone it rightfully belongs,

    and that henceforth all allegiance or subjection to any foreign power whatsoever, is entirely renounced.

    A relation of the causes which have conduced to render this step necessary, is due to our dignity, and to the opinion of the world. A

    long series of occurrences, originating in the weakness and corruption of the Spanish rulers, has converted that monarchy into the theater

    of a sanguinary war, between two contending powers, itself destined the prize of the victor; a king in the power and subject to the

    authority of one of them, the miserable wreck of its government in the possession of the other, it appears to have lost the substance of any

    form of sovereignty.--Unable to defend itself on the Peninsula, much less to protect its distant colonies; those colonies are abandoned to

    the caprice of wicked men, whilst there exists no power to which they may be made responsible for the abuse of their authority, or for the

    consequence of their rapacity.

    Self Preservation, the highest law of nature, if no other motive, would have justified this step. But independent of this necessity, a

    candid world will acknowledge that we have had cause amply sufficient , in the sufferings and oppress ion which we have so long

    endured. Governments are established for the good of communities of men, and not for the benefit and aggrandizement of individuals. When

    these ends are perverted to a system of oppression, the people have a right to change them for a better, and for such as may be best

    adapted to their situation. Man is formed in the image of his Creator: he sins who submits to slavery. Who will say that our sufferings are

    not such as to have driven us to the farthest bounds of patience, and to justify us in establishing a new government, and in choosing new

    rulers to whom we may intrust our happiness?

    We were governed by insolent strangers, who regarded their authority only as a means of enriching themselves by the plunder of

    those whom they were sent to govern, while we had no participation either in national or municipal affairs.

    We feel with indignation, the unheard of tyranny of being excluded from all communication with other nations, which might tend to

    improve our situation, physical and moral. We were prohibited the use of books, of speech, and even of thought-our country was our

    prison.

    In a province which nature has favored with uncommon prodigality, we were poor. We were prohibi ted from cultivating those articles

    which are suitable to our soil and climate, and of pressing necessity. The commerce of our country was sold to the favorites of the court;

    and merchandise were supplied under the enormous exactions of the monopolists. A barbarous and shameful inhospitality was

    manifested to strangers, even to our nearest neighbors.

    The product of out soil and of our country were alike denied exportation. Our trade consisted in a trifling system of smuggling.

    Every path which led to fame or honor was closed upon us. We were denied participation in public employments; we had no rank in

    the army maintained in the bosom of our country. We expected no promotion in a church to which we have ever been faithful and

    obedient sons.

    We saw the mighty monarchy of Spain threatened with destruction, and our oppressions were forgotten; we flew to her assistance

    like faithful and submissive vassals. As a reward for our faithful services, a sanguinary vagrant, distinguished in his own country by no

    honorable action, is sent amongst us, and his government exhibited only acts of cruelty, insatiable avarice and augmented oppression.

    Nothing but the specious promise that a general assembly of the Cortes would be convened, could have restrained us. Experience has

    shown this hope to be illusory. Some miserable wretches, styling themselves as the rulers of Spain, have sold us out to a foreign power, for

    a term of years, in order to procure the means of consigning us forever to the most ignominious servitude.

    The Spanish colonies of South America, have long since declared and maintained their independence; the United States proves to us,by an experience of thirty years, that such a separation may be attended with national and individual prosperity.

    We conceive it a duty we owe as well as to ourselves as to our posterity, to seize the moment which now offers itself, of shaking off

    the yoke of European domination, and of laboring in the cause of the independence of Mexico; taking the authority into our own hands,

    forming laws, and of placing the government of our country upon a sure and firm basis, and by these means assure a rank among the

    nations of the world.

    The above is from The Weekly Register, IV (July 17, 1813)

There arehistories in the places and times they lived.Photographs and stories bring our ancestors to life.Here we intend to transport you to websites that tellour stories. !

    n 1849, W. G. M. Samuel, a former Texas Ranger, created paintings of each of the four sides of Mainlaza. The painting with the north view was used as a basis to illustrate of the ownership of theseroperties by the early settlers from the Canary Islands. Unfortunately, the structures depicted are as

    hey were over a hundred years afterthe Canary Island families took possession of these lots.

    Vicente Travieso and Mara Ana Curbelo owned the second property to the west of Soledadproperty (7), the two-story house depicted). The original house was damaged/destroyed in the 1819lood. It was again damaged during the Siege of Bxar in 1835. When it became a two-story isndetermined. Refugio de la Garza, a priest, was renting the property and living there from at least828. Sometime afterwards acquired it. Refugio de la Garza was forced to resign in 1840, and in 1841e sold this property.

    To the east is the property of Francisco Arocha (9).

    To the west, the is lot of Antonio Rodrguez and Josefa de Niz (10). They had a small stoneouse, an adobe room, and a framed kitchen. The lot adjacent to Acequia Street (Main Street)elonged to Manuel de Niz and his wife (6). They had a small adobe room and a framed kitchen on

    heir lot. Joseph Rojas acquired both of these properties (6 and 10). After one other transaction, theroperties were acquired by Simn de Arocha. Manuel Yturri then acquired these properties (6 and0). In 1836, these properties were occupied by Santa Anna during the Battle of the lamo. Then in841, a grand ball has held in its long room to celebrate the visit of Mirabeau B. Lamar, President ofhe Republic of Texas. Mrs. Juan Segun and President Lamar opened the ball with a waltz. Manuel

    Yturri Jr. sold the properties to Leopold and Saul Wolfson. A fire, in 1904, damaged the Wolfsonuilding but it was rebuilt. The Wolfson building was destroyed when another fire occurred in 2011,uring the 32ndTexas Hispanic Genealogical and Historical Conference. The site (6 and 10) remainsn empty lot to this day. !
