Atilana Mendoza & Gregorio Garavito
My husband's Great-Great-Grandparents were Atilana Mendoza & Gregorio Garavito.I am estimating their dates of birth to be in the 1850s to 1860s.Their children were Pablo, Vincenta, Trinidad, Leocadia, and my husband's Great-Grandpa, Jose Matias Garavito (1876-1916).While in the US, Jose went by the name of Jose Barajas.Although Jose gave his children the Garavito name, it wound up being spelled Garabito most of the time.My Mother-in-Law said that Atilana Mendoza was of Mexican Indian descent.I believe that Gregorio & Atilana were both born in Mexico.Their son Jose was married in Romita, Guanajuato, Mexico.Jose Matias Garavito married Celsa (Selsa) Hernandez, and their children were Juanita, Lupe, Manuela, Santos, Porfiria, Juan & Francisca & my husband's Grandpa, Antonio Hernandez Garavito (1907-1996).Antonio Garabito married Carmen Lara.Please post or email me if you recognize any of these names.
