Lets
begin
the
story
of
south
Texas
with
a
visit
with
one
of
the
original
families
that
was
granted
land
from
the
King
of
Spain,
the
Villarreal's.
I
found
Danny
Villarreal's
web
site
while
doing
some
research
of
the
south
Texas
area,
and
he
was
kind
enough
to
allow
me
access
to
images
in
his
web
site.
He
traces
his
family
roots
from
Spanish
soldiers
that
landed
in
Mexico
in
1521,
to
his
present
day
family
in
south
Texas.
The
history
of
the
Villareal
Family
is
an
excellent
site
to
gain
an
understanding
of
how
the
south
Texas
area
was
settled.
He
also
provides
links
to
other
families. |
