Carol, We have tried to get my fathers brith record. They can't find it ,also maybe it wasn't recorded. My father was born in Mart, around 1924 in September. His father was Manuel Reyes and Mother Paulina Sanchez Castellano. I have their marriage record from The county of Mclennan. They were married in the city of Waco in Dec 1,1922. I would also like to find the death record of Manuel. He died around the time my father was 8 years old. I haven't been able to find that records. I have a record of pauline sanches Castellano from being born in Beaumont, Jefferson county in june 22 '1906. Any help I would be glad to give you if I could.
