Hello All, I am also researching Joaquin GARCIA who brought his family to Snelling/Hopeton then Hornitos in abt. 1859. He and his wife, Maria RIVAS brought 3 young girls, Guadalupe,Rosario and Sara. They had 5 boys in California,Peter, Trinidad, Romolo and Albert. I know that the son Peter was baptised by Father Timothy Fitzpatrick of Mariposa in 1870. Father also baptised Margaret RIVERA on the same day, she is the daughter of Guadalupe GARCIA and Venturi RIVERA. Any further information on this family would be appreciated. So, I descend from 2 different families that lived in Mariposa County at the same time. Chancy __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
