de barth SHORB
Passing along an email from San Juan Capistrano:
Gary,
Huh? What? Where? Well, this is a shock!!! De Barth Shorb??
O M G!!! This will give my cousin JAMES "the big one." LOL
I can't wait to E this to him. His 4th grt grandfather is BERNARDO YORBA. PLEASE let me know more abt ol Shorb
from Ohio. Had NEVER heard anything such as this, & believe me, Capistrano is the gossip cap. of Ca.
Yes, most of the YORBA'S were baptized & even married
in old SERRA Chapel. After BERNARDO built his San Antonio
Chapel, most events were held there on his rancho until the
rancho fell into decay. Date? I'd have to look up.
ANTONIO YORBA II is buried someplace near old SERRA.
He has a commemorative headstone in back of SERRA.
Am sure you have seen this. BERNARDO YORBA is buried under The Holy Water Font in a priest's black habit, at back
& to right as one enters SERRA. BERNARDO stated he wanted
Holy Water to fall on his remains forever. I've dripped a drop
or 2 on him:) Many many YORBA'S up at the cemetery also.
SHORB & German????? Gary, you sure send me a lot to think
abt. & sort out!!You could turn me gray:) Do send me more
when you find. Pure Blue Blood heritage depends on the
outcome :) HA! Remember, YORBA'S from the north came
down here with PERALTA & GRIJALVA. Doubt very much
SHORB was up north before all came south. Then again,
tis the YORBAs! NOTHING would really surprise me.
Thanks....I think, Rita
