37. Thelma Evelyn6 MEYER (Charles Louis/Louie5, Michel "Michael"4, Joseph Stephen3, Gallus2, Michael1) was born November 26, 1908 in Medina Co., TX, and died in TX. She married (1) Leopoldo "Lee" T. GALAN Abt. 1929 in TX. He was born Abt. 1890 in TX, and died Aft. 1942 in TX. She married (2) William Robert GASTON Abt. 1943. He was born July 16, 1907 in TX, and died April 27, 1974 in Bexar Co., TX.

Notes for Thelma Evelyn MEYER:

She may have had a child named Gloria placed her for adoption. Also, family rumor has it Thelma and William Meyer lived together for 25 yrs before they got married. Thelma may have also given birth to twin boys and adopted them out. These twins were a male and female. Born with Gaston name. Did not locate a child named Gloria Galan or Gaston in the TX birth records.

Do not locate Thelma in SSDI.

Notes for Leopoldo "Lee" T. GALAN:

Died of Brain clot. He was a fireman. Rumor has it that he was unable to father children.

The name "Galan" in spanish means "Handsome". Galan researcher's have found that Galan's go back to Golan Heights in the Middle East. About the time that the persecutions started the Golan tribe went to Spain and mingled with the Spaniards. In an effort for them to blend with the peoples and not be found they changed the O to A. Hence becoming Galan instead of Golan. From there they spread all over the world. She has all this documented and authenticated. So that is what I know of the origin of the Galan name.

"Galan" name was originally "Golan" during the 13th century. They were originally from Israel, but the Muslim persecutions drove them into Spain to the Zaragosa, Aragon area. Over time they converted to Christianity and immigrated to Mexico. If you look at your Bible, Golan was a town of asylum, and the descendants Israeli's were descended from Jacob's son Joseph. A penpal from Spain also verified that the Galan name was an old name in Zaragosa. There is also a small town in France just north of Spain named Galan, probably from Galan Jews that did not convert and were forced into France. As you may discover yourself, there were many converted Spanish Jews who settled in northern and northeastern Mexico and Texas when it was all owned by Spain. But, there are also Castellanos, Basques, and even rarely some other Europeans connected to the family.

(not sure if this is the same person found in 1930 - there is a 6-7 yr. age difference between 1920 and 1930- could be a census taker error - census taker errors found many times in my research)

Lee T. Galan age 40 (age 19 when married) b. TX (both parents b. TX) fireman for city of San Antonio b. 1890
