The Longorias from southern Brooks County have a ranching legacy. Some people say anyone interested in joining this family needs to prove their worthiness by showing they can handle cattle. As examples, I offer the following photographs.

Harold J. Jones (from Pennsylvania)

married Maria Estella Longoria Trevi�o in 1946.


Uncle Harold knew what was expected of him. However, he was prepared to make a quick getaway if the cows didn't like him.	But, he soon rose to the occasion, had the cows eating out of his hand and earned the right to be called �Tio Harold�.

Judy Laverne Gill (from Tennessee)

married Raul Noe Longoria Alcal� in 1990.


At first it was an old-fashioned stand-off, and Judy�s prospects of becoming my daughter looked bleak.	But Judy soon had the bull eating out of her hand. And within 10 years I would become a proud �grampa� 4 times over.

I welcome any comments, suggestions and questions. I also welcome any information you might wish to share about any person in my database. There is nothing I would like better than to �discover� new cousins and learn more about our ancestors and our heritage.
