This era of discovery, marked by Columbus's journey and Cortés's conquests, forged new worlds and destinies. Amidst this historical tumult, the de la Garza lineage, entwined with both Spain and the New World, began its mysterious journey, hinting at a storied past yet to be fully uncovered.

Each saga is a mosaic of memories, a reminder that every branch of every family tree is laden with its own unique and captivating stories. These narratives, richly painted with meticulous research and AI-enhanced creativity, celebrate the diverse legacies that forge our identities. Join us in uncovering the vibrant, often untold tales of ancestry that reside in every family, waiting to be told. This project is driven by a profound respect for history and an unquenchable curiosity about the past and the stories span continents and centuries, reflecting diverse experiences in various cultural and historical settings. The “sagas” presented here publicly are a result of the meticulous exploration of my own ancestry. Each is rooted in truth, grounded in extensive research and authenticated by records. Names, birth dates, marriage details, death records, and sometimes occupations – if these elements are included for primary characters, they are based on concrete evidence. The WikiTree Genealogist Honor Code sets our standard for accuracy in genealogical truths revealed and we strive for general historical accuracy. But this project goes beyond the mere reporting of facts, it promises a journey like no other—a celebration of heritage, a tribute to those who came before, and a demonstration of how modern technology can illuminate the past. Inspired by a father who was not only a dedicated teacher but also a scholar in history, this “author” has blended the factual skeleton of genealogical data with the flesh and blood of historical narrative. For those passionate about genealogy, art, faction and history, this project promises a unique journey—a celebration of our heritage, a tribute to our ancestors. It's an invitation to view family history through a different lens, where the facts of genealogy are woven into narratives that breathe life into names and dates, and where AI-generated images add a visual dimension to these tales. It is a reminder that within every family tree, there are stories of resilience, hope, and the unyielding human spirit, waiting to be told and cherished. Watch our Videos at https://bit.ly/3HgVQPm.
