Hi. . for a fun historical perspective on how April 1st is observed in
different countries, look under Miscellaneous.   



You'll find in this issue, numerous programs/projects for encouraging
gathering pubic histories and the Hispanic/Latino perspective, a few
are . . .from the Library of Congress' "Voices of War "
to Dr.
José Angel Gutiérrez, "Tejano
Voices" Collection," 
the Utah "Saints at War Project,"  to  Daniel Olivas request
for short fiction, and the
National Latino
Writers Conference in New Mexico.  It is certainly through the
submissions of readers that Somos Primos is enriched.



Just pointing out a
few items, you'll read the . . .

It looks like N e f l p.  Could it be
Newfoundland?  Though where the p (if indeed it is a 'p') goes I have no
idea.  Maybe it's New Brunswick?  Marge:)

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

Hi, Chris,
 
I believe it says "N. Y." for New York, don't you think?  I noticed when I viewed other pages in that county that the enumerator abbreviated other states.

I just wanted to add that President Fox is of Irish descent, his father's
father was from Ireland.

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
