A new cousin Jackie White has begun to provide information about this line of the family. Uncle Manuel Bernal left some hand written notes where he says aunt Carmen was Eva (Mom's) sister.
But her name was Martinez. It appears that maybe there are some corrections and clarifications needed on this line. - Hyle
Message from Jackie.
I spoke with my mother this morning. She said that she definitely remembers growing up and spending time with "Aunt" Eva...who she said she later found out was really a distant cousin (not sure which, but not first cousins). Carmen was a cousin of Eva's mother. She said that Eva's parents died when she was young and that Carmen took her in and raised her.
According to my mother, here are some other things on your genealogy that need to be corrected:
Nellie was a Sheridan, not a Norton. Nellie's married name is Corona. Nellie's son is Gilbert Corona (she doesn't remember the husband Corona's first name). Nellie's daughter is Hortense Corona McGarry. Hortense had a daughter named Mary Ann (after Marianna Norton).
I don't know which "Tillie" you are referring to. I had an Aunt Tillie (Matilda Armenta, sister of Frank Medina Armenta).
The spelling of the city where Carmen was born is Caborca in the State of Senora, Mexico (this one I looked up on the web).
I can see where your information of "Carmen O'Connor" could be verbally transfered from "Carmen Ocano" which is the name on Carmen Norton's death certificate. But, I don't understand Jesus Molina. The death certificate says Miguel Martinez. My mother said that she was sure that Eva was a cousin to Carmen, not a niece...that Eva's mother was a cousin to Carmen, too...which is why my mother said that Eva would have been a more distant cousin to her.
Looks like we both need to do some more digging! ;-)
Thanks for the pictures! I will share them with my mother.
