Francisco Luna Robles b: abt 1867 d: May 8, 1934
Son of Francisco & Rita Luna Robles
It was my very good fortune to have been contacted by email today by Vivian Robles Durazo who is the
great granddaughter of Francisco.
Until today I had only heard that there was possibly another brother named Francisco but, Vivian is
the living link to the certainty that Francisco is the brother to Miguel, Gertrudis (Tula), Rafael, and
Margarita (Chata).
Vivian was able to provide quit a bit of lineage information. So here goes... Francisco Luna Robles
was married to Everada Laborin. According to their granddaughter Carmen Robles Carrillo, Everada
died at an early age from an accident leaving Francisco to raise their seven children. Carmen
believes that Everada is most likely buried in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. They had six sons by the
names of Francisco Laborin Robles (Vivian's grandfather), Arturo, Enrique, Jesus Maria, Gilberto,
Manuel, and one daughter named Refugia (married name Burrola). As is the custom, the sons
carried Laborin as their middle name.
Vivian's grandfather Francisco Laborin Robles married Romula Alvarez. Their sons were Gregorio
Alvarez Robles (Vivian's father), Gilberto, Jose, Jesus, and Francisco. Their middle name was
Alvarez after their mother, with the possible exception of Jesus...Vivian wasn't sure of his middle
name. Marta Robles Galindo, Carmen Robles Carrillo, and Magdalena Robles Martinez are their
daughters. There is a wonderfully colorful photo of Marta on the photo gallery page at the top right
hand corner.
Vivian's father Gregorio married Juana Gonzalez. Gregorio was born on May 9, 1927 and passed
away from lung cancer on September 15, 2002. They had four sons whose names are Gregorio A.
Robles, Jr., Ruben G. Robles, Frank G. Robles, and Jesus Maria Robles. Their two daughters are
Vivian and Maria Eugenia Robles Martinez.
Vivian married Alejandro N. Durazo. They have a lively household of five daughters by the names of
Lauren C., Sarah A., Vanessa A., Michelle A., and Gabrielle C. Durazo. She mentioned that she is a
grandmother to Jaden Alexander whose mother is Vanessa. Jaden is the great-great-great-great
grandchild of our common ancestors Francisco & Rita Robles.
Thank you Vivian for your invaluable contribution of information. Hope to receive some photos from
you soon so we can bring this line of the Robles family to life.
UPDATE: November 27, 2006....Photos have arrived! And they are great. See them in the Photo
