Their Story: Luciana had two younger sisters Rita and Donaciana who married two Chavarría brothers, Romaldo and Severiano  in Fort Stockton, Texas. 

Rita, though about nine years younger married first in 1977.


Marcelo and Luciana had their first five children while they were living in the Fort Stockton area, where Marcelo was working as a farmer.  So in March of1880 when their daughter Concepción was born, they were still living in Fort Stockton. 

Sometime before their next child was born, the family moved away -- probably to the Santa Helena, Mexico area which is about two miles from Castolon, TX.  It may be worthwhile noting that Castolón was originally known as Santa Elena, but when they applied to get a post office with that name they were told there was already a Santa Elena, TX which is hundreds of miles away in the Rio Grande Valley near McAllen, Texas so they named it Castolón - probably for El Castellon the large mountain that rises nearby.


Luciana was the third-born child of Luis Ramírez and his wife Dominga Leyva. Luciana's younger sister, eighth-born Rita Ramírez, was married in Fort Stockton and also lived in Fort Stockton when her first four children were born.

In Reply To Looking for any info on Candelario's Son Marcelo By Erika Gomez (eclg0926@gmail.com)

I have some information that I have found through research and some from stories my grandmother shared with me. Candelario would be my great grandfather.



The initial information on this page was provided by Louisa Madrid and Celestina Valenzuela Amatulli.  Additional information was provided by Bob Wirt from his Documented Research Report "The Marcelo Baeza Family History" Version 8, revised September 8th, 2011.  Elizabeth Marquez, Manuel Sánchez Baeza, and Sulema Gamboa Carrasco added greatly to the information on this page.
