Up through 2008 only five children's names were known or remembered by the present generation in the Marquez family. They were Octavio, Oscar, Obidio, the first Eudelia and Guadalupe). One of our present-day cousins indicated that Octavio and Eudelia also may have had twins, one or both of whom may have died at three years old and were buried in Brownsville city cemetery. On 6 February 2009 three additional children's names (Esmeregilda, Maria Ofelia, and the second Eudelia) were discovered in a search of FamilySearch records. Are one of the children who died as infants one of these newly discovered three?
