I've been trying to find information on my dad's family. I've hit a brick wall when it comes to his grandfather, Jesus Noriega, and where he came from. With help, I've found info on other relatives of my dad, but on his dad's father's side, I can't get any further. My dad is 75 and I'm trying to make a book for him. He's been told all his life that his father's family was from Spain (they have Spanish features and light skin) I've found record of his dad, Antonio Noriega born in Tucson, 1897 and Antonio's dad, Jesus Noriega with varying dates of birth and place of birth according to US census' (Sonora,MX and Tucson, AZ). The census' that say he's from Mexico, list his year of emigration as 1878. I can't find any info on his birth, or his parents or where they came from. I really want to find info for my dad that shows his family from Spain to present, but I am just dead ended. I've looked on a database in Spain, I've looked at Fami! ly Search, I've looked at Arizona state genealogy and of course Ancestry.com. Please give me some tips on where else to look. I want to finish this project for my dad asap. My family tree is listed as Noriega - Rubalcava family tree. Thank you for any advice on where else to look!
