    This must be the missing child we discussed on your April 19th post?

      Hi Kathy,

      Thanks for stopping by again!

      No. The April 19th post was about my grandfather Benjamin. But it is the same family. This is the older sister of Benjamin. I am on the lookout for any other unknown children as well. Still stumped on Grandpa Ben, but I’m going to explore Long Beach, California church records after SLIG in January (no time until them).

        Sorry not to be clear. Didn’t that birth certificate say 4 children had been born to the mother, so if you already have Guadalupe and Refgio Rafael, and Raymond was actually your grandfather Benjamin, then would Celedenia be the unidentified birth?

          Ah! Yes! That would indeed make four births. Thanks for catching that! I’m so focused on the Mexico part of their family records right now that I have not gone back and and revisited their early US/CA records yet.
