Campos comes from my father's mother. Andrea Campos Chapa b. 1899 Progreso, Coah. Her mother was Maria Teofila Valdez Chapa. Her father, Fidel (I think was his nickname) His name I think was Jose Federicio Campos Menchaca b. 28 Apr 1874 in Sabinas. His father was Jose Maria de Jesus Campos b. abt 1844 in Villa de Progreso, Coah. Fidel's mother was: Maria del Pilar Menchaca b. abt 1858 Villa de Progreso, Coah. Fidel's sister was Maria de Dolores Campos b. 6 Aug 1865 in Monclova. His brother's: Jose Julian b. 1859 San Buenaventura, Jose Francisco b. 1863 in Nadadores. Jose Maria's father was Jose Santiago Campos, his mother Maria Francisca Perez. Santiago's father Jose Santiago Campos his mother was Maria Anna Valdez from Santa Buenaventura, Coah.
