About Us

Andrew Martinez
Curator

I am researching families of Losoya, Texas, and surrounding areas. I have a lot of old photographs dating back to the 1880s. I am a retired soldier who lives in San Antonio, Texas (God’s Country) and has been doing genealogy since 1995. I know there will be many questions. Feel free to e-mail or call.

To provide a background with my association with history: I have always had an interest in history and genealogy. I first joined Los Bexarenos in 1985 and several positions with them. I authored “A Brief Genealogical and Historical Survey of Villa del Carmen en Medina” 2006 and edited 2 other previously published books.  I joined the Canary Islanders Descendants organization about the same time of 1986. I was appointed to the Bexar County Historical Commission in 1995 as Chairman of Oral History Committee, same we started the Losoya-Thelma Historical Association as president in 1995 and established the Losoya-Thelma Journal as editor until 2003. I joined The San Antonio Conservation Society and the San Antonio Genealogical Society only as a member and volunteer. I was very proud and humbled to have received the prestigious “Hidalgo Award” from Bexar County Commissioners Court and sponsored by Los Bexarenos in 2008.  I had to separate myself from all activities in 2012 to take care of my parents and family matters. I still enjoy history and genealogy and continue to do personal genealogical research when I can.

I am the Archive Director of the Ruth Mini Mobile Library and oversees several collections including this one. With the help of my daughter, Ruth, Andrew, and Fred, I am doing my part to ensure that the Losoya-Thelma area history is digitized and made more accessible to the public. I am passionate about preserving history before these small towns are forgotten.
