I actually do have that record and I have been studying it because in records at home I found her birthdate as June 8, 1873. Perhaps the 1872 date is incorrect. I recall as a girl that she would insist she was indeed from "Salinas" not "Sabinas??" Everything else matches except that her mom's name is spelled Refugio on the paper work I have found, mostly handwritten notes here and there. I also have her death certificate. And that's about it. Thank you so much, Jose. Mary (Garana) Allen jose munoz <jmunoz2781@...> wrote:
