    All the fiindings indicated Jeanne's full name was Jeanne Aurora Benavides.  A query to her daughter Paula Juarez confirmed she knew Benavides as her mother's maiden name.  The Social Security Application records above gave me Jeanne's parents' names.  Searches quickly found some detail on her mother Feliciana Trevino Camacho, and a brother Roberto Benavides.  I had trouble turning up anything definitive on Feliciana's husband Manuel, since Manuel Benavides is such a common name in all the American Spanish-speaking domains.  He matches a record in Puerto Rico, where Manuel Rodriguez Benavides, appears  with his family in a census.

    "Yes mom's maiden name was Benavides.  Her mom was Feliciana.  She must of married because I knew her name as Feliciana Camacho.  Yes, my grandfather on mom's side was Manuel Benavides.  I'm requesting my original birth certificate from Seattle, but because I was adopted it might take awhile.  My adoptive mother was also a relative 'Angela Benavides' my mother's sister.  After mom died I met a cousin in Danville, California. ... But I took mom's ashes to Texas when she died to be buried with her grandfather near Thurber, Texas.  Met 2 other cousins there.  Lived in the same house they lived when my mom was young.  They took me to the place Gregorio had worked when they were little. ...   Since Angie "Angela" was my adopted mom I knew Robert Benavides and knew an uncle Jessie Camacho one of my grandmother's son from another marriage."

    No burial place has been found for Jeanne's ashes, nor any marker of her death, in any area around Thurber or Erath County or neighboring Texas counties.  There are no Treviño bnurials in any listings for Erath County or neighboring counties.

    In 1943, Jeanne was reported as "Jean" with her husband Rama Terry in the San Francisco City Directory.  No marriage record has been found for Rama and Jean.

    "Jeanne Aurora Terry was the mention in 1943 as Jean.  I found your website to be very helpful in finding previously lost information."

    ------------------------------
    I have a baptism record in San Francisco in 1951 for me with my fathers name Rama Terry and my mother Jeanne Aurora Terry. The only problem is that I was adopted, so my birth certificate shows Rama and Jeanne as my godparents and my adopted parents as my parents.

    The fact was never hidden from me that I was adopted, but nobody would talk of my father, not even my mother “Jeanne.”  I met her when I was 20, and went to live with her for a time, but she would only make reference to him ever so often.  I knew I had two ½ brothers:  Kenneth Paul and Billy Jack.

    I was born on my brothers Kenneth Paul’s birthday Feb. 10th, but never met them. That there was an aunt Quida [Ouida], then I found an old photo of my mom taken in Oklahoma in 1951 (you see the car license plates, but she couldn’t tell me about.  I found it after she died.) I was born in Seattle Washington in 1949 and my mother mentioned one time that we lived in Seattle, Queen Hill.

    My mother has since died in 2005 but stayed with the last name “Terry.”

    Paula indicated in personal communication that the actual reason her aunt adopted her was that her mother had to go to prison.  But even that is unclear.  She says she was told other stories about how her adoptive parents got her.  The reason why Jeanne might have been in prison is unclear.  No record of such an event has been found.  Angela's relationship in the family is a bit unclear also.

    "No one ever talked about her life with her real mother, Feliciana.  Growing up I knew Robert (my uncle) and Angela and him were close, then I came into the picture.  She adopted me because my mother went to prison.  I was told different stories about how Angela got me!"
