NOTE:  Geocities will be shutting down in a few months.  So, this web site will go away...

The purpose of this site is to provide genealogical information pertaining to family members.  If you have additional information please contact Robert Orta using the email address below.  Please let other family members know about this web site.

After spending some time searching http://familysearch.org I managed to find a baseline for our family tree.  Unfortunately, the tree ends abruptly on my mothers side (Annie Holcomb), for she was adopted.  Supposedly, the records pertaining to her were lost because the courthouse where her birth was recorded (Brown, TX) burned and no records were recovered.

EARLY ORTA FAMILY

The early Orta family originated in Mexico and migrated to the Phoenix/Tucson Arizona area sometime during the early 1800's. Many of these early descendents later moved to California in the 1900's. You can see a good early generation tree listing by clicking here. This is   a good place to look and see if you are related to this Orta clan. If you don't find any familiar names, then you can view the family tree as it relates to Robert Orta on the Tree. The webmaster has additional information and names if you think you may be related, but don't see a familiar name send me an email

If you would like to contribute information to the family tree please contact me at the following.  NOTE: I have spread the address out so SPAMMER's cannot easily read the email address - remove the spaces when you enter the email address:
