My PADILLA line is located in Bexar County, San Antonio, Texas. They come from Coahuila, Mexico, and if I get to trace them farther back than that, I might be able to find out how they are related to the Padilla lines in New Mexico.
These are my maternal lines: PADILLA, SANCHEZ, CERVANTES, GAUNA/GAONA, SILLER, GALINDO, OYERVIDES, HERNANDEZ, HESSBROOK/HESBROOK, VEGA, TORRES, FALCON, DOLAN, and GONZALES.
