I also am looking for La Gloria my grandfather may have been born there in 1896 moving to the US later.?

Question

The family name "Negrete"

Answer 1

I know exactly where La Gloria is.  It is in the state of Veracruz, about one hour north of the city of Veracruz and about 1/2 hour inland from the highway (180) along the beach. It is extremely small.  It is very near the pyramid ruins at Zempoala.  I have not  been to La Gloria, but have been within 20 minutes of it.  I answered a question from someone else on Answers a couple of weeks ago that has family there.  I live near Coatepec, just outside Xalapa.  If I drive down that way ( which I may do sometime in the next few weeks), I will try to go to La Gloria and ask for the family Negrete.  If you would like, you can email me and give me your name and more details so I can try to locate your relatives. See the map below.  Look on the right side where the Gulf of Mexico is.    See where it says "Villa Zempoala"?  Look  1/4 inch below the word "villa' and you will see La Gloria.
