According to my grandpa's notes, my uncle Felipe was born on December 17, 1888 in Mascota, Jalisco, Mexico at six o'clock in the evening. Grandpa was so meticulous in his documentation. The following day, uncle Felipe was presented to the civil authorities to be registered. He is registered under number 370, file 121, front. He was baptized by Msgr. Francisco de Davalos; his godparents were Maximiano Gil and Elvira Rosalez de LLaguno.
Grandpa further notes: Felipe de Jesus married Maria de Jesus Franco. My uncle and his wife had a son named Felipe. Felipe married a second time. His second wife was Domitila Ibarra. The offspring were Armando, Domitila, Yolanda, and Florencia.
When I was approximately ten years old, my uncle Felipe visited us in Guadalajara. He was accompanied by my cousin Yolanda and two kids, one was Jacinto and I don't remember the name of the other kid. Jacinto Maldonado Reyes was my cousin's husband. I never met him.
I wish to digress. My cousin Yolanda made quite an impression on me by being so loving and caring about her family. My cousin Yolanda passed away on June 6, 2010. According to the Dallas Morning News obituary, the following was published: Yolanda Brambila was called to our Lord on May 22, 2010. Her husband Jacinto passed away on the same day. They were married on November 5, 1950 in Ciudad Anahuac, Mexico and were blessed with seven children, 18 grandchildren, and 18 great grand children.
My uncle Felipe lived in Nueva Rosita, Coahuila, Mexico. He worked as a foreman for the American Smelting Co. (ASARCO). My parents visited my uncle on several occasions. As a matter of fact, my parents lived in Nueva Rosita for a few years. My sister was born in that town.
I was a young teenager when my uncle passed away. My parents said that he was diagnosed with cancer. Prior to his death, my parents told me, he took a hunting trip with his son Armando in the state of Sonora. I was told they had a lot of fun hunting for deer.
Thanks to the advent of social media, I have been able to keep in touch with the Brambilas in both Monterrey and Ciudad Anahuac.
