Scroll a smidge past center and you will find a
Chihuahua Mexico policeman badge. What is your
opinions? Where was the ancestor photo taken?

Jose:
Please accept my apology, I made a mistake in the name
below, it should be Antonio Sanchez Castellanos, not
Francisco Castellanos Sanchez. I look it this evening
in a book that call "Jerez-Historia tradicione
Inspiracion Poetica', by Samuel Correa C.  I was told
last year that Mr. Correa passed away in Jerez,
Zacatecas.

John, check out the below website.  It has some of the
same names you've mentioned in some of your emails. 
The website was sit up by my wife's (Rebeca Gutierrez
Gonzalez) relatives from Los Altos, Jalisco.  I hope
it helps you find some more names and relatives.  Who
knows? we may be related.

Good luck.

Merry Christmas to all  . . . .  primos, friends, and researchers. 

I hope you will all enjoy a Merry Christmas with lots of family togetherness. 

It is a perfect opportunity to ask questions, take picture, and share family stories. 

Thank you all for your supportive comments, and for the articles and information you to share.

ok, in the original picture (I should do this in the first place)the 
militar sitting has three bars in the hat and so on the shoulders; the 
other, with an eagle badge has two capital letters on the collar C and 
P. In the site www.en.wikipedia.org I found for the mexican army that 
three bars mean Capitan Segundo (Senior Captain)and three bars with 
the one in the middle been shorter means Capitan Primero (Captain) so 
I have know why the eagle on the chest and CP on the collar. 

John
As a former Marine I don't believe you are correct:
Two bars in the U.S. Navy was a Lieutenent. A Captain
insignia in the Navy an Eagle. The Navy LT. did wear
two bars {bands} but on his sleeve. The Captain had
four on his.

Adressed to the Rancho member inquiry: Military Rank of ancestors.

No, but that's what I thought at first myself. It says he was from Spain originally but resident in this area (Zacatecas) for 18 years. Marge:)
