Death Certificate of Francisca Gamboa, 1923

Below is the death certificate for Francisca Gamboa, daughter of Andres Gamboa and Francisca Gamboa. She died of unknown causes on 4 Sep 1923 in Edinburg, Texas at just 25 years old. Her mother Francisca Gamboa was the informant. Her husband was not named, but in 1930, a Teodoro Medina died in Hidalgo County, He was a widower, and his late wife’s name was given as Francisca Gamboa.

Teodoro was also born in San Fernando, Tamaulipas in Mexico, a town where Luis Gamboa (a son of Francisco, brother of Enocencio, and possibly father of Andres) is known to have lived and had children. Teodoro’s mother was named San Juana Gamboa, and her age (in the 1930 census of San Fernando) was right to be a daughter of Luis Gamboa and his wife Barbara Rodriguez. In other words, Teodoro would have been his wife Francisca’s first and second cousin.

Marriage of Paulino Serda & Santos Gamboa, 1898

Below is the Catholic marriage record for Paulino Serda and Santos Gamboa on 16 November 1898. They married in Hidalgo County, Texas, but their marriage was recorded in the nearest church, which was in neighboring Starr County. The record mentions their parents (Donaciano Serda, Lorenza Ruiz, Andres Gamboa & Francisca Gamboa) but little other information. The padrinos (godparents), Alberto Vela & Carlota Vela, were both the children of Macedonio Vela and Mercedes Chapa, the owners of La Noria Cardenas Ranch. Paulino Serda and the Velas all had recent Zamora ancestry and chances are that they knew that they were related. In any case, Paulino probably spent most or all of his life on the ranch, and the families would have been long-time acquaintances.

Abstract:

Photo of Francisca Gamboa

This large, oval photo of Francisca Gamboa, daughter of Enocencio Gamboa & Antonia Car, was hanging in the home of daughter Santos Gamboa Garza. It eventually passed to her daughter Andrea Serda Valenzuela, then to my mother, who related to me that it was her grandmother Santos identified the person in the photo as her mother, Francisca Gamboa.
