My mother's maiden name was Castillo and her grandmother's maiden name was Vela.
My Vela line starts with Ruperto Vela, Sr. who married Guadalupe Herrera 15 DEC 1884 in Texas.
Ruperto was born circa 1853 in Roma, TX and Guadalupe was born 20 DEC 1867 in San Diego, TX.
The had the following children:
Maria b. 20 JAN 1900, Victoria, TX (my Great Grandmother)
Josefina
Candelario "Luis"
Felipe
Ruperto, Jr.
Jesus
Eduardo
Antonio
Antonia "Lillie"
Pedro "Pete"
My Castillo line begins with a (Juan?) Encarnacion Castillo whom I have been unable to locate or connect to any other Castillo lines. There is a Louisiana land record that lists an Encarnacion Castillo owning about 160 acres in the Hatchitoches Parish of Sabine County in about 1889. Family oral history and my Great Grandfather's death certificate are the only evidence I have of his name. It is believed that Encarnacion married Carlota Tellez. However, it is also believed that Carlota had been married multiple times or at least had children from multiple men. Those surnames are Renteria and Rosas. Only my Great Grandfather (Ezequiel Castillo, Sr.) is known to have been their child but it is quite possible there are others. Ezequiel did have some half brothers and sisters from Carlota's other union with Sabino Renteria. They were Damacio, Tomasa, Jesusa and Natalia, all Renteria's.
Ezequiel Castillo, Sr. married Rebeca Barrera/Guajardo 14 FEB 1917 in Austin, Travis Co., TX.
Ezequiel was born 29 FEB 1896 and Rebeca was born 23 APR 1903 in San Antonio, Bexar Co., TX. They both died in Los Angeles Co., California.
Ezequiel and Rebeca had the following children:
Eduardo "Eddie" 1920-1950
Encarnacion "Joel" 1922-2007
Ruben Barrera 1925-2006
Rudolfo Valentino "Rudy" 1927-late 1990s
Lorene Alice "Laura" 1929-1989
Edmundo Mario 1932-2001
Ezequiel, Jr. "Eddie Elias" (my Grandfather) 1934-living
Francisco Humberto "Toby" 1937-living
Raquel 1938-living
Maria Luisa 1940-living
As far as I have been told, all of the above Castillo's were born in the 5th Ward of Houton, Harris Co., TX.
Let me know if any of this rings a bell or if we may have a connection.
