Welcome To Ethnic Texan!
Join us as we explore the genealogies and history of Texas!
##### A Quick Note on Names To help you navigate our family history, we use a specific naming style: 1. **Daily Names:** If you see a name in (parentheses), that’s what the person usually went by. 2. **Avoiding Confusion:** We use the Spanish tradition of **"Father’s Surname-Mother’s Surname."** This helps us keep everyone’s branches clear and ensures that persons with the same name don't get mixed up.Temporary Helper for DEC 29 meeting > Dec 29 meeting
