The Rodriguez/Nava Family can boast a rich legacy full of historical moments and wondrous occasions. From 1731, when Salvador Rodriguez helped establish the first municipal government in Texas, to the 1830s, when family members fought valiantly in the Texas Revolution, this book deep-dives into archival documents and sheds light on little-known moments of familial history that impacted the lives of many to come. The book continues through to 1904, when members of the family settled in the Gulf Coast town of Rockport, Texas, to ultimately become one of the largest extended families in the region. We follow the family's journey from making the decision to leave the safety of their homes in the Canary Islands on through the arduous journey to Spanish Texas, all the way to the present day. There are memories, historical events, anecdotes, and vintage family recipes that have been passed down for all to enjoy. This book includes transcriptions and translations of rare, archival documents and is a must read, not only for those interested in family histories but also for those interested in Texas history.
