Looking for anything on Pedro and Refugio Valdivia and their children. Pedro and Refugio were born in Mexico between 1876 and 1884 - according to ages in census records. Would like to try to find who their parents were as well as Refugio's maiden name. Children in census records from 1910 to 1930 include: Cenception Felix Petra or Patrice Juanita Olive (known as Marcella, married Adolfo Fernandez) Aristeo Cruz Temotol or Timothy Frances Michaila Anything would be a big help on this family. Thanks, Lora

Your best place to start is the California Death Index, which will list parents surnames if they are on the death certificate. I could not do much for you easily as Valdivia is a common surname and you provided neither the birth years nor birth places of the children, nor whether Pedro and Refugio were married in Mexico or the USA nor when. Here is what looks like the CDI entry for Refugio, age not quite the same as you mentioned: VALDIVIA REFUGIO 07/04/1874 F MEXICO LOS ANGELES(19) 09/14/1946 72 yrs Link to the CDI is: http://vitals.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ca/death/search.cgi On 4/27/12, LEHJDH211@aol.com <LEHJDH211@aol.com> wrote: > Looking for anything on Pedro and Refugio Valdivia and their children. > > Pedro and Refugio were born in Mexico between 1876 and 1884 - according to > > ages in census records.
