The National Park Service has several other San Antonio missions and the correct name San Antonio de Valero mission would identify in similar terminology.
The only reason the Alamo is not part of the NPS is because the old women insisted on keeping it. They let it run down as they died off and had to let it go.

My g-great grandfather fought at the Siege of Bexar. The battle there before the famous one. He manned the cannon and used ramrods to get through the homes in what is called La Villita to get the cannon in position. Later, he was one of the scouts who brought Santa Ana to Gen. Houston.
