Hi folks,
 

Within a month's time, I have heard two people mention this phrase about my
eyes.  I have never heard this description before, so to hear it twice in a
month was surprising....

 
 
 
Hi Rosalinda:
 

Here is a small sample of  " Ojos Tapatios". 

Ojos Tapatios

hi Rosalinda, there is a ranchero singer lady called Maria De Lourdes, mexican, her eyes was the window opener for a tv show "Noches Tapatias". Ojos tapatios are large, brown, almond shape, large eyelashes, Guadalajara Jal is named after Guadalajara Spain, were the moors ruled, so ojos tapatios decend from the moor´s eyes. Another kind of ojos tapatios are the same but green instead of brown, or blue. Or remember the song "spanish eyes". it aplies also.  Leticia Leon

I think there are also commercial (need to buy software) solutions that

Mexico Trip Report Part I

Oh, how wonderful this report is! Thank you for sharing this! We need to keep this in our rancho archives!!!! I'm willing to send a small donation for republication of Mr. Valdes Salazar's work to keep it alive for us, despite my not having any connection with Totatiche. Why not have him look into the Lulu publications that Joseph, our fearless leader, told us about in one of his messages. It would save Mr. Valdes lots of moola! Marge:)

I just got back from two and a half weeks in Mexico.

Though I did not spend them in "working" on genealogy or historical 
research, as I did have the need to spend time with my family and 
decompress at the beach for some days, I did get a fair amount of

I arrived in Guadalajara, Jalisco on Dec. 17.  I met up with my 
brothers and my younger brother's Japanese host-mother to celebrate 
our birthdays in Tlaquepaque with mariachis.  The singer had lived in 
Japan for three years and sang to my brother's Japanese host mother 
in Japanese.

The next day I attempted to visit the Archivos Publicos del Estado de 
Jalisco.  They were closed early because of staff shortages due to 
the holidays.

I headed to Villa Guerrero, Jalisco on Dec. 19 (where my parents have 
now built a beautiful house on the edge of town where they plan to 
live half-time).  The next day, we travelled to Bolanos (a mining 
town dating to circa 1550) at the bottom of the canyon by the same 
name.  The town

Ojos Tapatios

It is true.  
The first thing I noticed when I first met my wife

eyes.  But of course, most Mexican women have
beautiful eyes.

My abuelita, who was from Jerez, used to say "El que come y canta, loco se levanta." That was because when I would visit her and have breakfast with her, I would sing or hum and wiggle around on my seat. I remember asking my tia Carmen, what that meant. I realize now, as an adult, that I needed to have it explained to me, so I could process the information. I do recall "understanding" what my abuelita said. Marge:)

Ojos Tapatios

Hi Rosalinda:
 
"Ojos Tapatios" is a great complement. I've been always
told the same thing & yes my family is from Jalisco. It is suppose to mean
that you have very large beautiful eyes. The woman from Jalisco are known to
have the large eyes (it's a trademark). . . and I don't know why but it tends to
be true if you have "Ojos Tapatios" you must descend from

However, I have never heard of "ojos tapatios."  And I never would have guessed I have them.  Has anyone else heard of this term, and how do you define them?
Rosalinda:
 
The definition: beautiful
 
I have heard some wonderful praise about you, from Kitty Cortez, so the definition would be appropriate There is the saying about the eyes being the mirror to the soul/spirit...
Looking forward to meeting you in February.

I vote for hermosa Herminia.  I had a g aunt with that
name.  I always thought it was pretty, but then it wouldn't work well in
the US. 
I see naming similar names in one family a lot.  My
dad has two cousins, and they are both Guadalupe and sisters.  They are
called "Las Lupes,"  and they are distinguished as Lupe grande & Lupe
chica.  The older one who I might add is also heavy set is Lupe
grande.  Not sure I would like to be distinguished in this way. 
My tios Alejandros have both passed away, but they used to distinguish them
as  Alejandro primero  y Alejandro segundo.  My
abuelito used to also refer to the first one who passed away as a baby as
Alejandro el vivo, and the second one as el Alejandro que vive.  He had a
sense of humour...

On Christmas, I went to visit the same grandma, and there visiting her was one of her friends, a Mexican lady.  My grandma was talking about me, and the lady mentioned that I had "ojos tapatios."
 
Now, my family is not just from Jalisco--- I have family from Zacatecas, Guanajuato, Aguascalientes, Michoacan, and San Luis Potosi.  So how did two different people know about my Jaliscan descent?

CONTENT:  I had originally thought of this as a social event, but some members have expressed an interest in a true genealogical exchange of information.  You are welcome to bring whatever family trees/sources/questions/ideas that you wish.  I will type up an informal agenda and send it to the group.  Please email me any suggestions of what you want on the agenda.
 
FOOD:  I will search for a Mexican restaurant, preferably with a room/private area where we can talk and share without disrupting the business.  IF ANYONE HAS A

Family History Center microfilm cost

Hi group--

 

I have just returned from my local Family History Center.  Today the director told me that he has been informed of a price increase for the ordering of films.  The cost will go up to $5.75 per film to order the first time, and for each renewal after that will cost $5.75, until the film becomes indefinite.  The price change goes into effect on January 15th, so if you have any films to order, or if you need to renew films, do so soon. 

 

I personally renewed my films to make them indefinite.  I just wanted to let you know so you can take care of any films you may have or that you wish to order.
