Research Notes:
Vanessa wrote to FdT probably in 2014:
"I started my family history research without any experience in 2009/2010. Since then, I have been overwhelmed with never ending information, but none of it came easy. Some days, I stayed up until 4am because of the joy I got from finding new information. The biggest breakthroughs came from Amalia Adelina Ochoa's research, Ancestry.com, and websites including Life Before The Ruins, Prima Elisa's Blog, and Familia's de Terlingua.
One of the main differences from the information on Life Before the Ruins is the "first" ancestor. It is written as Francisco Acosta, which may very well be the correct name, however on Ancestry.com, I found sources that say his name was Pedro de Acosta. Most of my information on the Terlingua Acosta's was learned on Life Before The Ruins and sourced on Ancestry.com.
Cleofas Acosta, my great-great grandfather, is buried in the Terlingua Cemetery (http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=AC&GSpartial=1&GSbyrel=all&GSst=46&GScntry=4&GSsr=2121&GRid=84866304&)." Vanessa López
