The Story:
Donaciana Ramirez married Romaldo Chavarria (brother of Severiano Chavarría) and they lived in Fort Stockton from 1917 until her death in 1941. Notice that 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.
