Venito [Benito] Sáez de Molinar, his son Andrés Molinar Sáez, and his grandson Domingo Molinar were all born in Gordejuela (Gordexola), Viscaya, País Vasco [Basque Country], España in 1490, 1521, and 1580 respectively.
Domingo Molinar was baptized on 8 SEP 1580 in the Gordejuela parish church, San Juan de Molinar, which is located on the north side of Molinar Plaza at the heart of Gordejuela. His exact birthday is not recorded; but, according to custom, it was probably not too long before Sept 8th.
Domingo Molinar and his wife María de Biniegra moved from Spain to Nueva Viscaya (present day Chihuahua, Mexico) and their son Cosme Molinar, the first Terlingua ancestor Molinar born in the new world, was born in Allende, Nueva Vizcaya (now Chihuahua, Mexico).

Cosme Molinar's wife's paternal grandparents were born in Portugal around 1580.
There is no record of where they were born in Portugal, but hints from written notes suggest one possibility might be Óbidos, Portugal, which is known as "villa de las reinas" because King Dinis gave Óbidos to his wife, Saint Isabel of Aragon. After that the kings gave Óbidos to their wives by custom.

Cosme Molinar family tree shows ancestors for many people from the Terlingua area who descend from the Molinar, Franco, and Sandate families of the area. It is my vision that many of you, whether a Terlingua descendant or not, will add to the family trees in the Family Search website. Who knows what surprising results may come from that? No money to pay, just your time and effort.

Hi Antonio,
I found your website several months ago and ran across the Molinar family tree. I have been working off and on on this family genealogy project and wanted to know if I'm linked to this huge tree. Well, I am. Cosme Molinar is my first cousin 10 times removed. Wow!
By the way, I have some info for you.
Father is Domingo de Molinar, born 1580 in Vizcaya, Pais Vasco, Spain and
Mother is Maria de Biniegra, born 1582 also from Vasco, Spain.
Grandfather (my 10th great grandfather) is Andres Molinar Saez, born 1 Dec. 1521, Vasco,Spain. Grandmother Louisa Molinar, born about 1528.
Great grandfather (my 11th ggf) is Venito Saez de Molinar, born 1490, Vasco, Spain and
G.G.M. is Mari Saez Saez, born about 1490, maybe from Vasco, Spain?
Thanks for the great info,
Courtland E. Goetz Molinar

Good Morning!! This is so exciting. My name is Nina Lawson and I am a descendant of the Molinar (Terlingua) / Rodriguez (Presidio) Families!!! All of the information you and Bob have uncovered is fascinating. I am trying to date back to when our family settled in Texas? I see a lot of 1870"s. I was trying to see if we were here in the 1840's. I was trying to apply to the daughters of the republic of texas but don't know if my family was here in the 1840's. how do I go about finding that out? Any help would be greatly appreciated! thank you for all you do.
