Salvador,

In the website for the city of Nochistlan, the only "persona Ilustre" with the surname Quirarte is
a lady who is/was a "historiadora". Maybe she is/was a relative of yours.

>
> Dear friends at Nuestros Ranchos.
> BACKGROUND:
> My name is Salvador Quirarte. My father was Cesar Quirarte Ruiz, born in
> Nochistlan, Zacatecas in 1901. His parents were Hermenegildo Quirarte and
> Gumara Ruiz. My father and his two sisters Maria and Clotilde Evelia
> Quirarte Ruiz left Nochistlan some time in the early 20's to migrate first
> to Aguascalientes and later to Mexico City.
> His sister Clotilde Evelia was the first women born in the state of
> Zacatecas to graduate and receive a Masters degree and a PHD degree. That
> has been recognized by the State Congress of Zacatecas.
>
> My father became a classical violinist. Initially he joined the Orquesta
> Tipica de Lerdo de Tejada, that for several years traveled all around the US
> playing mexican clasical and romantic music. Afterwards he was for many
> years the first violin of the National Symphonic Orchestra of Mexico, and
> later was director of the Simphonic Orchestra of Veracruz and the
> Conservatory in Queretaro and died in the 80's in Mexico City. He never went
> back to stay in Nochistlan.
>
> QUESTION: Looking at the Web site of the Department of Public Education of
> the state of Zacatecas I discovered that the basic elementary public school
> of the small town of Rancho Aculco has the name of Escuela Cesar Quirarte
> Ruiz.
> I never has been in Rancho Aculco, but looking at the maps I see it is not
> so far from Nochistlan.
> I was in Nochistlan once when I was a kid and do not know any relative
> there, neither from the Quirarte or from the Ruiz side.
> Now I live in the USA and do not have any contact with other members of my
> family other than my brother.
> Trying to find out if the school was named to honor my father I got the
> phone of the local Presidencia Municipal at Rancho Aculco and called asking
> to have the phone and name of the Head of that little school to provide them
> with my phone and e/mail address to start a contact.
> The secretary of the City Hall told me the school has not phone or
> e-mail but she will comment to the teachers about my call so they can call
> or e/mail back to me .I never received any news from them.
>
> So QUESTION is: Did any of you has local contacts in Rancho Aculco that I
> can call or e-mail to ask if the name Cesar Quirarte Ruiz was asigned
> because of my father, and why/when that happens and also if that is not the
> case, want to know if there was another Cesar Quirarte Ruiz in the area in
> addition to my father?
>
> Thanks in advance for the kind help that any of you can provide me on this
> family mistery I just discover and want to solve !
