Grettings from Austin, Texas. Looks like we are cousins, Manuel. How did you become Benito's and Camila's great grandson? They are my GGparents, too!!! I have the following info which I gleaned from Ancestry.com (Mexican Parish Records)(It costs to subscribe) and from "Hidalgo County Ranch Histories". This book can be ordered for you by your local library through their inter-library loan program. Send me your e-mail address and I'll send you a transcript of the info found in the Chapa cemetery in San Manuel. I'm from Hidalgo, by the way.
