Dear colleagues,

I am sharing the following article, which may be of interest to you. It references a Mexico City notarial protocol mentioning Sebastián Hernández de Arellano, whose lineage I have previously examined:

Hello Erik,

I read all of your posts with great interest, but those featuring Toribio Hernández de Arellano especially catch my attention. I have a short list of ancestors who seem to appear over and over again in our family tree, and Toribio Hernández de Arellano and Isabel de Mendoza are two of those individuals.

Thank you for sharing your research. I know it means a great deal to many people, myself included, and I truly appreciate the time and effort that goes into it.

Thank you again,

Travis

Hello Travis,

Thank you so much for the kind words! It’s always rewarding to connect with fellow researchers who share these same brick walls and foundational lineages.

Toribio Hernández de Arellano and Isabel de Mendoza are an important couple in New Galicia genealogy, and like you, I find them appearing constantly across multiple branches! I'm glad the research resonates with you and aids in your own family tree.

Best regards,

Erik

Saludos Erik,

Excellent work Erik. I do believe that you hit the bull’s eye with the ancestry of Toribio Hernandez Arellano.  

Congratulations on this great work!

Congratulations again Erik on your excellent work on Toribio Hernandez Arellano. You were also correct that Carlos Lomelin that we descend from is not the same Carlo Lomellini that is the son of Vincenzo Lomelini and Porzia.  The Carlo Lomelin, son of Vincenzo Lomellini and Porzia was proven to not be the same Carlos Lomelin married to Maria Benavides.

I hope to have a book published next year on Carlos Lomelin’s ancestry. The first part of the book is on Carlos Lomellin ancestors and descendants, so I still have many descendants to add to the book.    The second part of the book is about another person in the family tree that is a well known historical figure.  The two parts are connected which is why they will be in the same book, yet many people who don’t descend from Carlos Lomelin may only be interested in the second part.

Your last book was so filled with information that I was surprised that you didn’t include the information of the most famous historical figure in the Nuñez family tree. Since this historical figure was the first European to see the Pacific Ocean, I thought you would write about him.  But I assume that you didn’t write more about him because you already had a large amount of information in the book.  

Saludos y un abrazo,

PS.  I will later send you my nephew’s mother’s ancestry so you can add it to your Palomar family tree.

Hello Travis, 

Go ahead and ask.   I am just holding back on Carlos Lomelin’s parents, ancestry, until my book is published.

Hello Rick,

As I was typing everything into a post, I happened to locate the information I needed in FamilySearch. I appreciate your kind offer, but my question has now been answered.

Thank you again,

Travis

Hello Travis, 

Don’t believe everything you see in familysearch family trees.   Many people add or change information on the trees without providing any sources.   When I add or change information on familysearch I try to also add sources explaining the change or the addition. 
Good luck,

Rick

Thank you, Rick! I look forward to read your book so much. About the Nuñez family tree, one of the issues I had was the rising production costs of Amazon. I had to limit the extent of the book because it was getting pricier and the vast majority of what is earned goes to them.

However, I would feel deeply honored if you and others would continue what is written and expand it in your own works. I would be very happy if any of you found "De Nobleza Inmemorial" useful. 

At the end, we are all part of the same long chain and these grains of sand are what make genealogy so exciting.

Un fuerte abrazo,

Erik
