The Romaldo Chavarría Family Story:

Donaciana Ramírez married Romaldo Chavarría (brother of Severiano Chavarría and María Longina) in Fort Stockton on June 4, 1877. They lived in Fort Stockton from 1917 until her death in 1941. 

Romaldo and his brother Severiano married two Ramírez sisters, Donaciana and Rita respectively.
  Donaciana was born in Mexico and Rita was born in Presidio, Texas.  So Luis Ramírez and his wife Dominga Leyva Ramírez must have immigrated into the United States between their births.  There is a big range in Rita's birthdate that is discussed by Bob Wirt at the bottom of Rita's parents page.  Note that the birthdate on her death certificate is almost exactly the birthdate given for her older sister, Donaciana.  This matters only in trying to determine when the family moved from Mexico to Texas since it was between their births.

Research Notes:
1. Resolve duplicate records for Romaldo KCYJ-QZM ​ and M4R2-FFN ​
2. Does anyone know where Donaciana is buried? She is probably buried in the same cemetery as her sister Rita, St. Joseph's Cenmetery in Fort Stockton.  If she is there I wonder if anyone knows which plot she is in.
