First you need to determine what part of Mexico or Texas your branch is from.
There were 4 original heirs that received the majority of the latifundo. Everyone received a portion, but that was determined by Don Jose and the portions were not equal.
*Fernando Vasquez Borrego resided in Texas and Mexico. He ended up with the majority of the Latifundo on the Mexican side and lost it in a dispute that you will find mentioned in A Family Mexican Empire by Charles H. Harris.
Jose Fernando Vidaurri Borrego resided in Laredo, Tx.
Jose Maria Margil Vidaurri Borrego resided in Laredo, Tx and parts of Mexico – his children could be in either location.
Francisco Vidaurri Borrego only lived in Musquiz, Coahuila. So if you are from there you should research La Villa de Santa Rose, it’s the only church and 5 generations of my mother’s family was married there, starting with Francisco Vidaurri Borrego.
Ramon Macario Vidaurri Borrego left after a dispute with his brother Jose Fernando and there is no further documentation on him.
The other remaining Vidaurri children resided in Laredo, Tx. Only Francisco Vidaurri Borrego and his family stayed in Mexico, including El Viduarismo: Santiago Vidaurri y Valdez and his family. Francisco’s branch includes Long Vidaurri, Milmo Vidaurri, Vidaurri y Villasenor etc.
Those are the places your search should begin and look for the books in my bibliography page. Our cousin Jose Felipe did an extensive search, as he is from Jose Fernando Vidaurri Borrego’s line and he updated it regularly whenever he discovered new information.
If you read Book 1, Book 2, Book 3, Book 4 and Book 5 you will have all of your questions answered as to the names of all of Don Jose’s children and grandchildren, names of his haciendas, dates, size of latifundo etc.
If you buy any of the books I mention you will have all of the information I have with regards to our mutual family.
My mission was to connect myself to the Vidaurri Borrego’s of Musquez and I did it with the help of the people I mention in my About Page. It was easy for me since my 2nd great grandfather shared the same name as Governor Vidaurri y Valdez, everyone who researched Governor Vidaurri y Valdez had my information and graciously gave it to me.
I did not have to continue to do research, I was lucky. But I did research how the Mexican side of the family lost our inheritance and how we came to prominence.
I basically love our mutual family history and if anyone want’s to share their tree I will gladly post it for you on a separate page: My branch is Ortiz Vidaurri, as that was the last time we carried the name, through my grandmother.
With that being said, everything that I know is mentioned in this blog. I hope you find it helpful.
My best,
Cousin Anita

Hi Cousin Lucio, I know all about your tree as it’s the same as Jose Felipe’s. Yours is all listed in his book. By chance does your family own any of the original land grant or do you know anything about it? We have some mutual cousins that are curious about it, being that they also come from Jose Fernando & Alejandrina (she was called that because she was a wild child, very beautiful).
Thank you!

Hi! Did you read Jose Fernando’s Last Will and Testament? I just re-read it and it made me cry a little. They just become so real to me, he was Don Jose’s favorite grandchild, he loved him so much. I wish all of our ancestors wrote wills like that, or that they would resurface. It’s nice to see that he mentions all of his children’s names. Jose Fernando didn’t need inheritance from his parents, as he received the majority of his grandfather’s latifundo in South Texas. He’s the subject of Book 3. Jose Felipe and I spent hours on the phone talking….these family stories are the basis for my writing. Jose Fernando was not greedy, he knew he had more than enough and allowed his other brothers and sisters to claim his parents inheritance. I think that Francisco and Margil were the same way, they were their grandfather’s chosen heirs. The two oldest: Ramon Macario, Jose Fernando – and the two youngest: Jose Maria Margil and Francisco. I welcome all comments and feed back. if you find Latin words mixed in it’s because I like the sound of them better.

I have no idea what part of the Vidaurri’s i am from. I know my grandfather was Jose Felipe Vidaurri and my grandmother was Carolina Treviño. My father, Jose Gerardo Vidaurri (Patiño) was given to the Patiño family Francisco Patiño and Adela Vela when he was just a few months old. His biological mother Carolina Treviño passed away just a few months after she gave birth to my father Gerardo Vidaurri (Patiño).
