Venegas & Carroll fun facts

 This post is for my nephew, Robbie Venegas, and my niece, Penelope Venegas.

Howdy Sheriff

Your great-great grandfather, Atticus Carroll, was a sheriff's deputy in east Texas in 1940. Just like the show Andy Griffith and the character Andy Fife. I just see you kids wearing these little sheriff star badges when you were little and chuckle at the connection.  Here's the 1940 Census that showed me that information.

Vanegas

Back in 1799 in Monte de Los Garcías, Zacatecas, Mexico, your family was spelling your name as "Va" instead of "Ve".
