I have a link to my father's family tree in WorldConnect in the files for this group. My grandfather was Francisco Olague and my grandmother was Gorgonia Garcia. I have searched the IGI and the LDS films for Jerez, but have not been able to find a birth record there for either of them, nor for my father. My father obtained a birth certificate by going to Jerez and hiring a lawyer there prior to his filing for Social Security benefits. Francisco's father was Pedro Olague and his mother was Rafaela Tinajero. Yes, that is my father's Social Security record you found in the SSDI. I was just relating the story of how and when my immigrant father came to the U. S. in response to someone's asking how our immigrants came to the U. S. Emilie Garcia Port Orchard, WA ----- Original Message ----- From: Arturo Ramos Sent: Tuesday, August 02, 2005 5:22 AM Subject: [ranchos] Re: My Father's Immigration What were the names of your grandfather and grandmother? The
baptismal records of the parish in Jerez, Zacatecas are extracted
through the end of the 1800s on the LDS Church's IGI database, so you
should be able to find their records there, but there are lots of
Olagues in that city so you will need some more information... Do you
have a copy of your grandfather's birth certificate or know what his
maternal (second) last name was?
Go to http://www.familysearch.org and select International
Genealogical Index on the left and then type in your last name and
select Mexico and Zacatecas in the region fields at the bottom.
I take it this social security death record is your father's?

alien status. His father and grandmother and sister settled in
Brush, Morgan County, Colorado, where I was born in 1939. In 1941 my
father, at my mother's insistence (she was a native of New Mexico),
became a Naturalized Citizen. During WWII, my father and his uncle
and cousins relocated to Northern California where they obtained jobs
in defense plants. He had sent my mother, my sister and myself to my
mother's relatives in New Mexico. My father was a welder at the
shipyards that were building the Liberty ships. After the war, he
went to work as a welder for Westinghouse in Sunnyvale, CA, and he
sent for us around 1948 and they bought a house in San Jose near
Willow Glen. My husband's mother and siblings also moved to
California around the same time from El Paso, TX. My husband was a
friend of one of my cousins. We married in 1962 and lived in Silicon
Valley until 1996 when we retired and moved to Washington State. My
sister and her sons have moved to Las Vegas, NV. Our parents are
buried in San Jose at Calvary Cemetery.
