My father-in-law's ancestors came to the US in the early 1900's from Mexico. I would like help researching his ancestors. Here is what I know:

father-in-law's parents:
+ Alfredo ??? Valdez and Concepcion Reyes Hernandez
+ Alfredo was born in Brownsville, TX
+ Concepcion was born on Clifton, AZ

Alfredo's parents:
+ Jose ??? Valdez and ??? (he was married twice)
+ Jose ??? Valdez was born in Morelia, MICH Mexico
+ I have no detailed information on either wife
+ Jose's second wife may be Maria (if I have the right 1930 Census record)
+ if I have the correct census record, Maria and her parents all were from Mexico

Concepcion's parents:
+ Jose ??? Hernandez and Josefa Candelaria? Reyes
+ Jose was born in Morelia, MICH Mexico in 1890
+ Josefa was born in New Mexico in 1900

+ Jose's parents were both from Mexico (perhaps Morelia)

+ Josefa's parents were both from Mexico
+ Josefa is believed to be full blooded Indian
+ Josefa's mother's maiden name may have been Candelaria

I have the 1930 Arizona Census for Jose and Josefa's family so I know how many children there were at that time.

I think I have the 1930 Texas Census for Alfredo's parent's family also.

I do not have any further information. Your help would be appreciated in helping me research these families. If you think these names or locations match anything in your family tree, I would appreciate hearing from you.
