Alicia,
Can you please tell me where I can get or borrow a copy of Nochistlan de Zacatecas by Evelia Clotilde Quirarte?
I have ancestors from the Mazapil/Nochistlan area. I am looking for information about the settlers of the hacienda de San Juan, later called de Ahorcados because the local Indians attacked the settlers and hung them all. I am looking for Monico or Jose Monico Barron, born in said hacienda about 1761 and his wife Justa or Rufina or Justa Rufina Candelaria possible surname Paredes, born possibly in the same place about 1764.
I am also looking for any books about Mazapil in the 1700s. The hacienda de San Juan de Ahorcados or simply Ahorcados, was destroyed about 1771+- and rebuilt about 1776+-.
TIA for any information you can assist me with.
Elvira

I had a question about the science site with the Mayan, Huichol and Nahua
mixtures but my question is not very clear. I know that some of my
ancestors were from the Caxcan tribe headed by the Mendoza's and I don't
know what happened to the Caxcan people, maybe they disappeared or maybe
they just mixed with the Spanish people like Chief Blas de Mendoza. but
does anyone know how that DNA is researched? are they part of the Mayan,
Huichol or NAhuas or have they just disappeared? so as an example say that
all my indigenous ancestors were Caxcan people from Teocaltiche and since
I don't see the Caxcan tribe listed as one of the tribes of the Native
Mexicans on the admixture picture, would my Caxcan DNA be reclassified
under another tribe or would it be redistributed among several different
tribes or just not be listed

Danny,
Check out the following posts my prima Alicia made on Nuestros Ranchos a
few years back. I've attached them here because the Tachiquin last name is
most likely a Caxcan last name that still survives today. As far as I know
there are still some Tachiquin families in el barrio de San Sebastian in
Nochistlan, not far from Teocaltiche. I'm not sure how much of European and
other DNAs have been mixed into this family over the years. My DNA has
Caxcan DNA as most if not all of the people with ancestry in this part of
Mexico does. The Caxcanes have been mixed in with European, African, Middle
Eastern, Asian DNA's present in this part of Mexico. This is the mestisaje
that makes us Mexican. I'm not aware of any pure Caxcan people living
today, but the Tachiquin elders are probably the closest we can get to pure
Caxcan DNA. Years ago Family Tree DNA listed my indigenous DNA as Mayan,
but today it's just listed as Native American most likely because they know
there are distinct and different indigenous DNA throughout Mexico. Mayans
are quite a bit farther south in Mexico so I'm pretty sure Caxcanes are not
Mayan. Based on some quick research, there are some sites stating the
Caxcan are part of the Uto-Aztecan family as are the aztecas, huicholes,
zacatecos, nahuas and matlatzincas. Since DNA research in Mexico is in its
infancy so to speak, more refined markers identifying Caxcan DNA are not
available as far as I know. Maybe that will change with the work of Dr.
Carlos Bustamante at Stanford University.
Saludos,
Juan Aguayo

Lisa,
As you may know, surnames were not used by the native American people.
Having
said that, the surname of Tachiquin is indigenous to the area of Nochistlan
and
is the only known indian surname that survived and was not converted to
spanish
or the castillian language.
Aside from this, I don't know anything else about this surname other than
it was
and is an original indian surname. Would your grandfather by chance be from
Tenayuca or Toyahua in the municipality of Nochistlan?

Tachiquin Surname's origins
Submitted by oldcar53 on Wed, 2011-03-23 03:00.
Lisa,
Good news, I knew that I'd read something somewhere about the surname
Tachiquin
and today I had time to look into it and found the following.
In the book Nochistlan de Zacatecas by Evelia Clotilde Quirarte there's a
section that tells of a few indian surnames.
The surname Tachiquin corresponds to families that originated in the Barrio
of
San Sebastian of Nochistlan. The Tachiquin surname is believed to have
originally been tlachiunqui that was then converted to tlachinqui. The
letter t
before the letter L is characteristic of the language of the cazcan nation
indigenous to the area of Nochistlan and the surrounding areas. She states
that
the etimology of the word tlachiuanite means to cast a spell. (espanol),(
hechizar, aojar, el encantador, el que hechiza)
She believed that the original Tachiquin may have been an important healer
or
medicine man or man of influence in the Caxcan community.
In 1913, a person with the name of Tachiquin was honored for giving his
life for
defending Nochistlan.
I hope this helps.
Alicia,
San Jose, Ca.

Amerindian
Hi Danny
I just saw your subject. As for yourself how did you discover what type of Amerindian you carry in your lineage. I was very surprised when I received my DNA and the Spanish percentage came back low. Especially with the surname that I carry so I assumed it would be higher. I am trying to educate myself on how to understand my DNA readings especially on Gedmatch. I always knew my paternal grandmother was Amerindian just never imaged how much she was and I am not sure about my maternal side since they never spoke of it. Just proves that just because you carry a Spanish last name doesn't guarantee your bloodline is 100%. I am trying to obtain as much information I can from my living elders so hopefully in time I can have more of clear picture of my DNA. I am very happy to be discovering more of where I came from and truly proud of my ethnicity.
Thanks

Rosario, he only identified one of his ancestors as being from a specific tribe due to documentation. It is very rare to be able to do that and he nor the rest of us can determine which tribes all of our indigenous ancestors were from. There was way too much mixing and too few documents of the natives. I am sure Danny has ancestry from other tribes just like all of us do even in the families that are reported to only have españoles in the documented genealogy.
If you want to see if more of your Native American/Amerindian ancestry came from your paternal or maternal side you will want to get as many of the older generations tested as possible. Some will have more Native American/Amerindian than others.

Rosario,
My DNA was through Ancestry. My mom got the test for me. But, not all of my ancestors are from Mexico so my Native American is not that high. Plus, because I have some Scottish and Irish people that innermarried with my Mexican ancestors I'm not sure what all comes from Mexico. But I have come across lots of Indios while doing the research so I was a little surprised mine was so low. My Native American was 13%. My Iberian Peninsula was 17%. And, I had 3% North African an 2% Jewish. I'm guessing that that's all from Mexican Ancestors. I also had a small amount of Asian and an even smaller less than 1% Sub Saharan Africa. I'm not sure where either of those comes from, maybe Mexico but I don't know. The rest was all Ireland and British Isles and Scandinavian. But, my 1st cousin who almost all her ancestors are from Mexico also did a DNA test awhile ago and she had some British Isles and Scandinavian too, so maybe some of that came from Mexico too but I don't know how. its kinda confusing.
