The Story: Luciana had two younger sisters Rita and Donaciana who married two Chavarría brothers, Romaldo and Severiano in Fort Stockton, Texas.
Rita, though about nine years younger married first in 1977
Marcelo and Luciana had their first five children while they were living in the Fort Stockton area, where Marcelo was working as a farmer. So in March of1880 when their daughter Concepción was born, they were still living in Fort Stockton. Sometime before their next child was born, the family moved away -- probably to the Santa Helena, Mexico area which is about two miles from Castolon, TX. It may be worthwhile noting that Castolon was originally known as Santa Elena, but when they applied to get a post office with that name they were told there was already a Santa Elena, TX which is hundreds of miles away in the Rio Grande Valley near McAllen, Texas.
Luciana was the third-born child of Luis Ramírez and his wife Dominga Leyva. Her younger sister, eighth-born Rita Ramírez, was married in Fort Stockton and also lived in Fort Stockton when her first four children were born.
