If my records are correct Gabriel de la Garza is my 7th generation grandfather on my father side.
Hola Moisés. También Gabriel de la Garza y Clara de la Garza son mis ancestros, a través de su hijo Ignacio de la Garza b. 1680, casado 1711 con Polonia Fernández de Castro b. 1694.
Sabes tú si Gabriel tuvo segundas (o más) nupcias?
Hi Moises: Gabriel DE LA GARZA is the husband of the 10th great-aunt of my husband. He descends from Gabriel’s wife Clara DE LA GARZA y MONTEMAYOR’s brother Juan DE LA GARZA y MONTEMAYOR. Thank you for sharing this information.
Moises; One of my great g-mas is Librada Garza daughter of Froylan Garza. Going back generations, I found a son, Francisco de la Garza de Las Casas, of a Gabriel Garza BUT this Gabriel’s wife is Maria de Las Casas?? The time period matches. Different Gabriel?

It’s the same one. This Gabriel married three times. Maria de las Casas, Petronila de Renteria, and Clara de la Garza Montemayor.
Saludos Moises. Yo soy descendiente de Gabriel de la Garza Garcia y de Clara de la Garza y Montemayor, por el menor de sus hijos Juan Antonio de la Garza y de la Garza casado con Juana Francisca de los Santos Coy el 17 de Agosto de 1717.
