Dr. Domingo George Gonzalez was born as Domingo Hernandes Garza in the village of Cadereyta Jiménez, Nuevo León, Mexico on April 9, 1865 to Platon Hernandes (aged 61) and Gregoria Garza (aged 27). He was baptized at San Juan Bautista church on April 11, 1865. In 1868, Domingo's mother married another man, Platon Gonzalez. Just before their marriage, Domingo's birth record was amended to state that Platon Gonzalez was his father. It is unclear if Domingo ever knew this.
Domingo arrived in the United States at Laredo, Texas in 1882. He married Jacoba Garza and they had two children together: Dolores Gonzalez and Thomas Gonzalez. Dolores Gonzalez Quintanilla was singer Selena Quintanilla's great-grandmother.
Domingo later remarried to Virginia de Hoyos. They had six children. The family lived in San Antonio for many years. Domingo was called "Old Daddy" and Virginia was called "Old Mama."
Domingo had several siblings, including a brother who also emigrated to Texas, Gregorio Gonzalez. Gregorio was born in 1867. Domingo was able to reunite with his brother in San Antonio. Find-a-Grave link: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/163908437/gregorio-gonzalez
Domingo was a physician. He maintained an office at Meier's Pharmacy on West Commerce Street in San Antonio. He proudly delivered some of his grandchildren.
Domingo died on May 25, 1942 in San Antonio at the age of 77, and was buried in San Fernando #2 cemetery. He used the surname "Gonzales" and "Gonzalez" interchangeably throughout his life, a pattern which has continued with his descendants. Note that his gravestone bears the "Gonzalez" name.
