My Rangel's From Mexico

Can't find much on my line because Mexico dont't have record's of thier people. Still have family over there. They probably died off, because of the Swine Flu.

My grant grandparents was Victor Rangel (1903-1998) & Amalia L. Leyva (1902-1999. They both was born in Mexico. Victor died at the age 95. Amalia died at the age 97. Victor was the son of Pedro & Paula/Paulita Rangel. They came in USA (Texas) between 1900-1920. They had 13 children. They also had a daughter name Francis Rangel that came with them. My grandpa was young when they moved to Rosebud County, Montana.

I found a Pedro E. Rangel in Montana Death Index - Carbon, Montana. This Pedro was buried in the same Cemetery as my other grant grandparents are buried at. He died of a cerebral vascular hemorrhage & he was the son of Pedro & Juaquirina (Moras). Joaquina. He died at the age of 95. He had a son name Pedro Ibarra Rangel. Pedro 3nd was born 1917 Sabine, Texas & died 1987. He was in Littlefield, Lamb, Texas. I guess he died on Railroad Board. I also found a Paula Rangel on Social Security Index. She died the age of 108 & she also died the same county as Victor died at.

This Pedro & Paula I found was married & had a son name Pedro.

I also found a Frieda Rangel in Montana Death Index - Rosebud, Montana

Here's a story of Pedro Rangel

My grandpa said that Pedro has one leg & hes leg got cut off by a train. He told me a funny story about him. Something about a wagon some how unhooked from the horse and he went running after it and they never knew how grandpa could run so fast with one leg. Also that when they were younger their grandma would make turnovers. At this time they traveled a lot because of the times of harvest. At this time it was April 1st and they were harvesting cotton. Well instead of a fruit filling they put cotton inside the turnovers and their grandpa was mad.
