M Garland 1 post Jun 28, 2008 10:59 PM	I'm interested in finding out about my grandparents, John & Agnes Garland. Are there any records of them in Tampico. I do know that they were Catholic & Agnes was buried in the Catholic cemetery. My father had to siblings, Mary Garland Hamblock (Neil) and Raymond Garland. Any info would be much appreciated.

M Garland 2 posts Jul 29, 2008 11:05 PM	Thank you for all the info that you were able to ascertain!! I am thrilled to find the year my grandmother, Agnes Leahy Garland was born. I also didn't know that my paternal aunt, Mary Garland Hamblock (Neil) was born in Nebraska. This info gives me something to start with in trying to research my family. I am currently trying to find information about John Garland, husband of Agnes Leahy Garland. I have no idea when he was born or where and when he died. Do you have any information concerning him? Was John Garland buried in the Tampico cemetery? Thank you, Mary Garland Murnick
