Am a genealogist looking for family members who were in Brooks County during 1925 to 1980. Am requesting information on one Auturo S. GARZA, SR. and his wife, Beatriz Salinas Garza who were married about 1926. They had six children born in Brooks County. One of the children is Amando GARZA, born June 21, 1928. When were they born and where are they buried (Auturo and Beatriz)? Thanks.

I am trying to locate some one and need to know if any next of kin was listed in an obituary for a Zevedeo Martinez who died in Brooks County on 29 October, 1986. Any help you might be able to give me or if you can give me a point of contact where I can obtain a copy of the obituary that would help a lot. SSG Vicki Straw, RTNCO Area 3.

Seeking ANY information about Hezekiah M. Riley and his family. I believe he may have gone by the name Hez Riley. He may have died June perhaps May or earlier of 1922. I would like a obit of him or any family member, if anyone has access to microfilmed newspapers of the area. He was suppose to live in or near FALFURRIAS, TEXAS. I have a great deal of Riley research to share. thank you Diane
