Research Notes:
¡Hola! I’ve got some questions about the Molinar family. I recently read about there being a connection between the Basque area of Molinar being connected to the Molinar family in Terlingua. Can you provide more info, or point me to where it is? I’d like to connect my father-in-law, Juan Molinar to the Molinar ancestors in the Basque area of Spain.
Juan Molinar married Josefina Hernandez, granddaughter of Cipriano Hernandez, who I would very much also like to know more about, as I believe that it was he who first settled Terlingua - or near there - and named the Santa Helena Canyon. The story that Josefina, my mother-in-law told, was that Cipriano was not originally Hernandez… or perhaps it was one of his ancestors…. Something about a ship from Spain, that her direct ancestor was a Pacheco, had a disagreement with whomever owned the ship, left that Captain, became “adopted” by someone with a Hernandez surname… Something along those lines - my ability to converse in Spanish isn’t great, but I try. Thanks in advance for any help. Also, are you - or do you know who - manages the Familias de Terlingua site? I’ve got some corrections and updates to share - well, I will have, after I write them up.

Hi Monica. I’m so glad to receive your message. I am your cousin. My paternal grandfather Antonio Molinar Franco and Alberto Molinar were first cousins and best friends according to my Tia Rita Franco Sanchez. You definitely are part of the lineage that goes back to Gordexola, Vizcaya. I run the Familias de Terlingua and would be delighted to receive your corrections. I have information to share with you about our Basque heritage (here is our ancestral home Gordexola https://www.familiasdeterlingua.com/gordexola-viscaya-espana.html) and about Cipriano and other topics you’re interested in. I can’t do more right now, but I will be sending you lots of stuff and looking forward to learning from you the information you have. https://www.familiasdeterlingua.com/molinar---juan-baeza.html https://www.familiasdeterlingua.com/molinar-family-tree.html I also have a lot of information that I am years behind in adding to Familias de Terlingua. I’ll be in touch - hopefully tomorrow. Again thank you!

Awesome! Actually, you and my husband are cousins. I’m the “White Girl” of La Familia My in-laws, Juan y Josefina were both - I believe - born in Terlingua. I think that it is called Terlingua Abaja now. There was a rift with the son of the rancher that Juan worked for, after the ranch owner died. Juan, Josefina, and all children except the first, who had already passed, moved to Odessa, where my husband, Ruben, was born about a month later, in August, 1961, I believe. When Ruben was young, he and his family left Odessa for a farm in New York. Back to Texas for a bit, then back to New York, before moving to another farm in Alaska, in 1973, where he and most of his family remained. In 2019, Ruben, me, and our three sons moved from Alaska to Pahrump, Nevada - about an hour from Las Vegas, where we will likely live out our lives.
