Denalsano was born November 22,1870....could be 1879, records state different places of birth, family always thought he was born in a ship off the coast of Managua Cuba. There is no record anyhwere we find that states this, only what family says. Some records report he was born in St Augustine Florida, others say Mexico,,...some records state his parents were both born in Florida, yet we do not know the names of his parents and have not been successful in finding one single thread of a hint about this mans family . He married Mary Marie Gaines Oct 16,1901 in Eagle Pass, Maverick County Texas.....in 1887 ancestry.com states he is in Columbus Ohio living at 631 Mc Coy, states he is a musician, this is odd however because he could not have been head of household, was this his father? He would have been too young if the record is correct, so now I find military record from Texas stating WALTO L DENALSANO had a alias , WALTER L NELSON.The record shows he was a musician! in the military band, date oct 18 1921, he was in the Ranger force, found at the Texas ADjutant service records, TVG 401-189, This record states He was born in MONTERREY MEXICO,, he was a deputy game warden.,, another record states he was a volunteer in the 3rd TEXAS INFANTRY , band , says he is born in Cuba and he is a soldier , it lists a town or county but i cant read it. the date is aug 24 1898 FT CLARK , BRACKETTVILLE TEXAS , In case of emergency it lists Elenor De Nalsano, in Brackettville TX I found a record, or index to record of the Civil war pension index 1861-1934, lists name WALTO L DENALSANO, NOW IN 1900 He is living in Bracketville , Kinney County Texas , living with a wife Ella( we dont know who this was, states she was born in Kentucky) and he is also living with stepdaughter 18 years old Bertha, who was born in Ohio, we do not find any other evidence of Bertha or Ella, next time we find Walto he was in Eagle Pass Texas living with wife, son Walto Leon Jr,! Chiara, Beulah, Jacob Shaklan and Thelma.................he died Dece mber 4, 1951 San Antonio Bexar County Texas and is buried with his wife MARY MARIE GAINES DENALSANO at Ft Sam Houston National Cemetery. His son Walto L Denalsano Jr was born in 1905 Eagle Pass Texas and is also buried at Ft Sam Houston National Cem. Our biggest questions ; we wonder where he was all the years we cant find him in census, we question who his parents were. We have not found any evidences that would even give us a hint about his parents, who they were, when they were born, where and when they died. We know he wasnt born under a cabbage patch, but are puzzled as to why we cant locate anyhting else about him and his parents. If anyone can find out anyhting or help in any way, it would be greatly appreciated.I wanted to mention, aside from the alias he had, the surname was occasionally mis-spelled, we have seen these various spellings, Denalsano is correct, also we find DE Nalsano, Delsano Donalsano...........
