This is the John A. Vela-Veronica Soliz family tree. The Vela line goes back to 1726. The Soliz line goes to 1766. This
is a work in progress and it is my hope that some of you might be able to fill in the missing links. Other surnames include:
Gonzalez, Chapa, Salazar, Martinez, Nava and Fuentes.
I began researching my family tree while I was in high school during the middle seventies. I only interviewed and talked
to immediate family members and then I left it for a long while. I got back into researching my family history about three
years ago and have finally begun to get serious about it. I regret that I did not ask and visit with my grandparents and older
relatives in depth back then and document their comments and recollections. I am now forty-seven, my dad is eighty-four and
my mom is eighty-one. I realize now that time is precious and I hope that I can gather as much information as possible
from my relatives. My advice to anyone who is getting started in geneaolgy is interview, ask, document, visit with relatives
and collect family photos with the date and place taken written on the back. It is important that each family have their historian
to preserve their family legacy. Who knows, you might be that person!
Well, enjoy the website and please send any information, comments or suggestions to me at:
