Established October 14, 2006
Our family history, for this homepage's purpose, begins with Rita (Luna) & Francisco Robles.
Who, to the best of my knowledge, originated in Hermosillo, Mexico. In addition to the children
pictured above, they may have had other children. The names that have been mentioned to me
are daughters, Luz, Concepcion, and sons Francisco (FOUND HIM!...see his photo above), Andres,
and Plutarco (FOUND HIM, TOO, Feb 2010, thanks to his granddaughter Leila Aldana Garcia).
Recently, Harvey Provencio, a Robles relative on his mother Ida's side, mentioned that he had
heard of a village not too far from Hermosillo that consists mainly of Robleses! In the not too
distant future I anticipate a trip to that village, if it still exists, to continue my genealogical
research of our ancestors. At a minimum, I am going to visit Hermosillo. Who knows how far
back we go or to where? Is there anyone else out there who has done research on the family?
Harvey has been instrumental in providing many photos to this page and I have credited those
photos accordingly. He is a fellow researcher for his father's family Provencio. Muchas Gracias
Harvey.
Since October of 2006 I have been contacted or have contacted many family members who have
contributed generously to this site in one way or another. Susan Robles Shultz, Anna Reyes
Madrid, Frank Robles Martinez, Pete Robles, Eloisa Robles Salas, Concha Robles Talamante,
Sylvia Robles Vasquez, Tomas Aldana and many others have provided family history, photos or
welcomed me into their homes for the sake of family research. Others like Vivian Robles Durazo
has been more than a cousin to me. She continually encourages me to continue researching.
The Provencio/ Munoz families have welcomed me to their family reunions where I have met
precious Rosa, gregarious Lupe & Sally, the Storyteller Ricardo, and the ever charming Tibo.
My life has been enriched by each and every encounter. May you feel the same as you look
through these pages.
This site belongs to all who call themselves Robles by blood or by marriage. Your comments are
welcomed. And by all means, if you see a date, spelling, etc., that you feel is incorrect please
bring it to my attention.
