Additional comments.
1. Musquiz Family
I was born in Sabinal, Texas. I am interested in the family history and already have a lot of information. I have known about Manuel Musquiz in the Big Bend area, but this is the first time that I have seen a marker to the Musquiz ranch. — Submitted October 15, 2008, by Dionicio Musquiz of Grand Junction, Colorado. |
