No, not yet. Now that my wife is finally recovering
from her serious illness, I plan to continue my family
genealogy research, starting this coming January 2006.

David, thank you for sharing your knowledge with the group.  That's 
one of the things I love about this group, we can share records, 
opinions, personal family history, Mexican history, world history and  
learn from what members share.  My world expands because of people 
like you...
thank you again, Linda in Everett

Jose,

It's been a long time since I tried to make use of my specialty- Spanish.  I'd like to try to present my understanding of the use of language by Spanish speakers.  As I recall, the language was first formed by the semitic linguists in the eighth century.  Before 711 A.D. there was a tremendous diversity in terms of languages spoken in the Iberian peninsula.  If you were to read the poems which are considered the earliest forms of Spanish you would barely recognize the language.  After 1492 the newly-formed "Spanish" people retained a very negative, resentful and vengeful attitude toward anything or anyone of semitic origins.  The government (monarchy) began a process of "ethnic cleansing" which extended into "purifying" the language.  Up until the early years of the 16th century no one even attempted to make rules for spelling.  The decision to make rules came from a small number of self-appointed experts not from the people who used the language.

The early visitors to the

I have attached a marriage document where Miguel Gonzales marries Maria
de Jesus de la Torre Sanchez and when she dies he marries (his first
cousin) Maria de Jesus de la Torre Correa. If the priest had not
mentioned the "cadaver ...", how would one ever discover that he didn't
marry the same person twice. No maternal names are mentioned.

When my parents divorced my dad married an Esperanza and my mom's name
is Esperanza, when my Padrino in Ensenada lost his first wife Berta,
he married again to another Berta and I have found several cases in my
research of widows or widowers who re-married and married someone with
the same given name as their first spouse.

Could this be coincidence?

Hi, Marge,

 

No, the Salitrillo they were from is in the jurisdiction of Tepetongo, near Jerez.  My nephew is a cook in the Picasso restaurant in the Bellagio Hotel in Vegas and he says two guys cooking there also are from Jerez and that they know some Olagues and also know where that Salitrillo is nearby.

Glo,

Did your Sandovals come from Zacatecas? My great-grandfather's first wife's maternal grandfather was a Sandoval from either Jerez, Tepetongo, or Tlaltenongo (sp?). Just wondering. Marge:)

I think they're all awesome, strong names, although I don't understand some
of them.  To me, they're all unique and very very cool.  I wish my mom had
named me a typical Mexican name.....I've never liked my name and got teased
a lot.  Peggy, my name, sounds

I know my last name is Fuentes, but so many people always put a Z on the end

Hi Joseph:

Re: González.

The very first González in my line was, Alonso González de Hermosillo, who
was born about 1467 in Heromosilla, Burgos, Spain. The González spelling
was kept all the way down to the 9th generation, where it shows up spelled:
"Gonzáles" At the same time the "de Hermosillo" part was dropped. The
"González" spelling shows up again in the next (10th) generation and it
remained that way in the family to the present day.

I remember reading that in Spain, the names were spelled with the "ez",
and in Portugal with the "es". I believe that most errors were made by the
person writing the church records and interpreting the names.

Joseph,

Given the multi-cultural basis (Spanish, African, and Native-American Indian) of the 
Mexican people and the super multi-cultural basis (Cro-Magnon, Phoenician, Greek, 
Celtic, Basque, Roman, Visigoth, Jewish, North African Berber, Arab, etc.) of the Iberian 
peninsula people, you can probably call yourself anything you wish and probably be 
correct.

Furthermore, you can see that the "sangre limpia" of the "Spaniards" was cr-p.

Scientifically and with respect to your Y-DNA, however, I agree with Victor. Your Y-DNA is 
Celtic, for lack of a better definition. Stay tuned. The Y-DNA

My custom license plate is: 1Gnzlz (One Gonzalez) =sounds like Juan Gonzalez. There are four Juan Gonzalez in my great grandfather's line, I am number five. (Boring. Lack of imagination? or just trying to perpetuate the name ?) None of my kids are named John.
