Here is the December 15, 1888 Death Record of Tiburcio Mendoza who died in Mier, Tamaulipas, Mexico. He is my 3rd great grandfather.
This record indicates that Tiburcio was married to Lorenza Mireles. It does not mention the name of his father but that of his mother is Petra Ibarra.
Another great thing about this record is that it mentions that he was from Aguascalientes and thus it points me in the direction that I need to look for records.
Below is the second part of the record and then I provide the transcription to both images.

If he is also one of your ancestors please let me know how you are related to him in the comments of this blog post.
Do you have any information of who his children were? I have a great, great grandfather named Florencio Mendoza. He is as far as I can go on that side of the family. The 1870 and 1880 census say he was born in Mexico circa 1830. We don’t know if he had siblings. And he only had one son, my great grandfather Gumecindo Mendoza. They settled in South Texas, Duval County.
My Mendoza line is out of Zacatecas and Jalisco and came to the Mier area in the 1860’s.
