Hello Esther,

Can you tell me where within the Gary Felix site there is the reference to the Santos in Tamulipas who had his Y-chromosome tested & found semitic heritage? The Gary Felix site is fascinating but I never know if I have completely searched it.

Thanks, Jan Jaeckle

I have attached a pdf file of what I have so far. I have used the books of Garemendia Leal and the archives of monterrey as sources for this information.
FAMILIAS DE MONTERREY, TOMO III

I have Bernardo Santos COy married 2 times.

Also, at the Genealogy of Mexico site by Gary Felix there is a Santos out there from Tamulipias that had the y-dna tested and it looks like the origin is semitic not european.

I hope this helps.

Let me know if there is more I can do.
