The following websites are highly
recommended to anyone interested in South Texas history and the
genealogy of its pioneer families. I have also included some websites for
those of you who might be interested in our ancestral homelands in
Asturias, Spain. These
are only a few of my favorites; there are many others too numerous to
list here.
| Frank
Longoria's Home Page
Frank
Longoria’s website contains the family trees of many
Longorias, including our family branch, and historical
information on some of the settlers of South Texas. Frank
does a particularly good job of covering the Jewish connections
of our ancestors. |
| Pedro
T. Rodriguez's Home Page
Pedro T.
Rodriguez’s website contains the family trees of many
Longorias and other founding families, and excellent historical
information on La Grulla and South Texas. Sadly, Pedro T.
Rodriguez, a native of La Grulla and also a descendant of Pedro
Longoria, passed away on May 6, 2001; he left us much too early
but left many wonderful memories and a fantastic legacy for his family (obituary). |
| Danny
Villarreal's Home Page
Danny
Villarreal has built a very impressive website, with links to
many interesting and relevant sites and an extensive history of
his Villarreal ancestors. He has many Longoria ancestors.
However, we have yet to connect his Villarreal and Longoria
lines with mine (I suspect it's just a matter of time).
You can also access his large database on his website. |
| Texas
History and Social Studies
A great
website with extensive content on Texas history. This is a must
visit for anyone interested in Texas history. |
