Hunting for Joe Ovalle
Not everyone went through life with one name: changing names, sometimes completely, can create a family history research nightmare. Joe O. Valle/Valley was just such a person. He lived and he died, but where did he come from? Working backward in this case study, his life will unfold before your eyes, with surprises and curiosities about why he did what he did. This unusual exploration will make use of Native American records, information not available on the Internet, newspapers, and many of the more expected resources as you are introduced to a unique individual.
