Irish in Mexico

I am in no way an expert...but just a little bit of history:

In the mid 1800's there was a large migration of Irish to the U.S.  
Since these Irishman were the new arrivals they were on the 'outs' 
and treated poorly.  They were harrased for being poor, uneducated, 
and Catholic.  As people were imigrating West to the new 
territories/states entering the Union, some of the Irish went South-
West into Mexico since they identified with the Catholic people in 
Mexico.

There is a movie I saw recently called "One Man's Hero" starring Tom 
Berenger.  This is taken from the Internet Movie Database: 
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120775/

One Man's Hero (1999)
"One Man's Hero" tells the little-known story of the "St. Patrick's 
Brigade" or "San Patricios," a group of Irish immigrants who deserted 
to Mexico after encountering religious and ethnic prejudice in the 
U.S. Army during the Mexican-American War. The plot centers around 
the personal story of John Riley, an Irishman who had been a

Penmanship Help...

Hi all,

I've been struggling for months to decipher a word on
the attached 1880 Census Form.  Specifically, I cannot
tell what the country of origin is for the mother of
Thomas (Tomas) Hale, my GGG Grandfather.

According to family history, he was born in Monterrey,
Nuevo Leon to Irish-born parents.  I don't know why or
how they ended up in Mexico, or even his parents names
or where in Ireland they were from. 

I realize this is specific to Nuevo Leon, not a state
relevant to this listserve, but I still hope someone
with a sharper eye than my own can tell me what the
word is.

On the form, I can make out that his father was born
in Ireland but I have no idea what the word is for his
mother's country of origin. This part is not aligned
with his name, but it most certainly applies to him
(see the attached form to see what I mean) 

Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

Chris Pineda

I knew that the Krakatau Volcano affected the whole world. . .in fact
somewhere in there there was the year that had no Summer but I think
that was earlier in the 1800's. . .not sure how that affected Mexico.

Apenas voy viendo el mensaje donde explicas tus raíces alteñas.  He estado teniendo problemas con mi conexión al Internet aquí en casa.  Yo me llamo Steven Francisco Hernández López, y tres cuartos de mi genealogía es completamente alteña.  Mi abuelo paterno y mi bisabuelo paterno materno fueron originarios de Arandas.  Ellos dos tienen raíces profundas en Arandas, y anteriormente, en Ayo el Chico.  También por mi lado materno paterno, tengo muchas líneas arandenses.  

 

¿Dices que tienes líneas López provenientes de Arandas y Jesús María, Jalisco?  Entonces cabe la posibilidad que seamos parientes.  El año pasado tuve la oportunidad de ir a Arandas, Ayo el Chico, Jesús María, Tepatitlán, Atotonilco el Alto, San Miguel el Alto, Jalostotitlán, San Juan de los Lagos, Zapotlanejo, La Barca, Ocotlán, Lagos de Moreno, León, Guanajuato (pero no vi las momias), y Guadalajara.  Si te interesa, te pudiera mandar algunas fotos de

No, they weren't from Jerez.  Joseph attached a photo of the document he wanted help in deciphering, so I was responding to that.  His folks were from Aguascalientes and Cototlan.

Hi, Joseph,
 
It is a death certificate from February 7 (?) (siete) 1822.  He died of la grippe (gripa?).(or colic).  He was the  second husband of Mrs. Ramires, his widow, or it was his second marriage, I can't quite figure that out.  It does look like his mother was Ynes Flores de Lisar.

Hmmm, seems like Yahoo changed up on us!


Sorry about that but Yahoo just went and changed up on us.

I've been playing with the colors but can't seem to get it back to the
place we were. I don't like the yellow letters to the left but I can't
seem to change those colors. If someone out there with more color
aptitude than I wants to send me a few suggestions I'll give them a try.

El Español como segunda lengua...

Hola mis queridos primos y amigos.
Muchas gracias por sus emphaticos y eloquantes respuestas.
Me parece que uds. escriben y se comunican muy demaciadamente bien.
Yo tengo envidia de uds.,(ha-ha).
No, en serio, yo estudie el Espanol empezando en el 'Colegio Ingles de Tijuana, B.C.
Mi madre es de La Ciudad de Mexico, mi padre tiene raices con nuestros antepasados en 'Los Altos de Jalisco.
Yo, creanlo o no, nunga he echo el intento de viajar a ese rumbo, pero quizas un dia.
Lo he estado pensando. Nada mas una idea, (de trampa, quizas?)
Bueno, Gracias de nuevo por su querida invitacion, y la aprecio mucho.
Me dejan 'chateado' con sus aprecios.
Hasta luego, y epero oir mas de uds.
Oh, este, los tres paises nada mas son afinaciones mias.
Viene siendo decir que amo mucho a Mexico, y sus costumbres, claro, pero tengo una fascinacion con la Europa en los Tiempos Medios.
Espero que me explique lo mejor que pudiera.
Su amigo, Armando J. Lopez Valadez.

Peggy,

I just checked the "Diccionario Geográfico, Histórico y Biográfico de
los Estados Unidos Mexicanos" by Antonio García Cubas, there is a link
to it in the links section of the group.  It talks about a Teul in
Tlaltenango, Zacatecas.

I hope this helps.

Me uno a tí para darle la bienvenida a Armando, pero estoy en 
desacuerdo contigo.

Con todo respeto para nuestros amigos hispano-parlantes, pero tu no 
tienes nada que envidiarle a nadie respecto a tu Español.

Si nunca hubiera leído ninguna palabra tuya, excepto el mensaje de
