#52Ancestors: My Great Grandfather Jose Robledo (1875-1937), Still a Brick Wall

#52Ancestors: My Great Grandfather Jose Robledo (1875-1937), Still a Brick Wall

Jose “Joe” died before my father was born, so Dad never knew him and knows very little at all about Jose. We do not know his birth place or his parents’ names. Unlike his wife Maria, I have not been able to find any record of him on any of the Mexico parish or civil registers, except for his marriage record.
