My grandfather was Jose Pais and his Brother Nicholas Pais were from San Antonio as I know it. A record that I have in my possesion has my grandfathers picture and his last name was spelled Pais, when our name became spelled Paiz with a (z) instead of a Pais with a (s) I do not know. I know little of my origins of my family Paiz. My grandfather Jose Paiz and Grandmother Paiz died and buried in Baxter or Bextar county in San Antonio. I know little of my grandmother Pais except that she was Native American or a Mexican national. I was told that my great, great grandfather Pais was instructed by the Spanish government to leave Spain,no resons were given. If your still interested in communicating with me. It will be a pleasure to share the information I have with you and your family. I had relatives on the Pais side of the family in San Antonio,Texas and Chicago, Ill. I believe I may still have numerou! s cousins in San Antonio,Texas. My fathers name was Estacio Jose Paiz and his Brother was Victorio Paiz. Bye Alicia, it was a pleasure.
