Zuniga family from South Texas
Our Zuniga family originated from Burgos, MX from what I have been told. 3 brothers left Burgos & 2 settled in the U.S. (Lozano, TX) & the 3rd in Reynosa, MX.We still have contact with each other. My grandfather's name was Heremerejildo Zuniga & he was married to Perfecta (Garza or Garcia) Zuniga. I believe one of his brothers names was Julian Zuniga.They had many children and their children had many children.
My dad's name was Dionicio Zuniga, Sr. & he married Julia (Padilla) Zuniga.I am 1 of 8 kids.My dad was a farmer, served in the Korean War, educated himself, was a school board member at Rio Hondo ISD for 8 yrs.One of my sisters has followed in his footsteps.
My dad had family in Wharton, TX (an aunt I think) but I'm not sure who they were.About 1/2 of my dad's siblings settled in Kalamazoo, Michigan and live their to this day.
