"A people that
take no pride in the noble achievements
of remote
ancestors will never achieve anything worthy to
be remembered
with pride by their descendants." Macauley
I am a native of Victoria, Texas. I am an author, historian, genealogist, and speaker who has been specializing in the Texas pre-Republic period since the early 1960s. I have compiled and published six booklets that pertain to Victoria County, Texas that will certainly be of interest to those genealogists looking for their Spanish surnamed ancestors.
