There exists an option for going from individual email to digest email
so your inbox won't get flooded. You can also choose to go to "no mail"
if you want to follow the group discussion online. I would not suggest
"unsubscribing" from any of the lists because then you cannot reply to
any messages that might catch your interest.

The Who We Are thread seems to be appropriately contained on the
"General" list as well as the DNA thread. I'd suggest going to "Digest"
and let me know if you need help doing that.

thanks for bring the subject up. If the group strongly chimes in that
the discussion is inappropriate I'll gladly step in to enforce the
wishes of the many.

Casillas, Casiyas

I've just come across Casiyas as a form of Casillas (which is also treated
as a distinct surname by FamilySearch).

Comments

Comment

hace algunos años el programa de familysearch, antes del nombre ´pnes un
asterisco y salian todas las variantes, tambien se usaban otros para
encontra todas las variantes pero en la ultima actualizacion los quitaron

For several years the program familysearch, before the name 'pnes an
asterisk and leaving all the variants were also used for all other variants
but they removed the last update

Placencia, Placensia

I have just become aware that FamilySearch.org makes a distinction between
the "...cia" and the "...sia" forms of this name. It is my impression that
these names are interchangeable.

I wasn't complaining, just noting this for those who are researching this
name. Its just something I hadn't realized before and thought it might be
helpful to others.

No estaba quejandose del FamilySearch, no mas estaba anotandolo por otros
que esten investigando este apellido. No me daba cuenta de esto antes y
pense que pueda ser util a otros.

Comment

no lo tome como queja , en el caso mio, en los libros de la igesia catolico
encuentro Baldes Cuando siembre a sido valdes, estos errores tambien fueron
de las notarias de las iglesias, aunque los buscadores de famliysearch y
todos en el mundo tienen trucos,por ejemplo tengo un tio de nombre Macario y
escrito asi no sale, pero si lo escribe MaCario si sale
de todas maneras perdon

do not take it as a complaint in the case of mine, in the books of the
Catholic igesia meeting Bucket When a sow was valdes, these errors were also
notaries of the church, but seekers famliysearch in the world and all have
tricks, eg I have an uncle named Macario and not well written out, but if
you write if you leave Macario
anyway perdon

Salvador,

Recibí el archivo pipol.bak el cual importé a PAF 5.2 sin dificultad. Aún
no he tenido tiempo de analizarlo, pero aparentemente las vocales con acento
á, é, í, ó, ú y algunas consonantes que no se usan en inglés, como la ñ, las
cambió PAF a una combinación de dos letras. Voy a tratar de corregir esto
antes de importar el archivo a FamilyTree Maker, que es el programa que uso
para la genealogía. Muchísimas gracias. Espero poder corresponderte en un
futuro cercano.

Estimados Rodolfo y Ricardo

Me interesa mucho el poder asistir a esta reunion, para mi seria la primera vez, y me dara mucho gusto poder conocerlos personalmente. Ya que a la mayoria del grupo a traves de sus valiosas aportaciones y comentarios poco a poco vamos conociendolos.
Yo me encuentro en San Luis Potosi, a tres horas de distancia en auto, ya sea de Tepa o de San Miguel el Alto, por lo que donde decidan la mayoria me parece bien, y ademas si requieren alguna ayuda cuenten conmigo.
De fecha me parece bien las tres primeras semanas de Julio.
saludos

I am interested in attending the Reunion this year, and would be great if I could partner with any NR members who will be traveling from California. I live in Souther Cali, and could meet up on land at any Mexican airport, or at LAX if I am so lucky to have local members...

As far as preferred date--I agree with Ricci, July/August would work better for us up here, as it is vacation season.

Hola a todos,si la reunion se hace en San Miguel El Alto, yo podr'ia ayudarles en cuanto informaci'on ,  de hoteles etc  cuenten conmigo, conozco los dueños de los Hoteles.

Last year , the same day August 2, 2008 in Guadalajara there was the first reunion known as the Gutierrada. The families of the Jose Sotero Gutierrez and Maria de Jesus Romo from el Rancho de la Escondida near Jalostotitlan had a successful reunion. By coincidence I believe they are planning their second reunion this year also the same day August 2, 2009 .

It would be great for me if they were close together but not on the same day so that i may meet my cousins from both groups. My great great grandmother francisca Gutierrez romo is a first cousin of Sotero Gutierrez. Francisca and her husband Eligio romo jimenez were 2nd cousins to each other and both of them closely related to sotero gutierrez and his wife.
from this romo family is my great aunt that just a few years ago recalled how when she was very young she threw fruit from from a tree at her uncle Santo toribio romo as he was walking on the sidewalk in front of her house. At first he was just dodging the fruit because he did not know where it was coming from. When he looked up and finally figured out who was throwing the fruit and from where he moved out of reach and admonished her. He warned her that he was going to tell her father( who was his cousin).
She was very old when she told this story to my mom when she was visiting her.

Mi nombre es JOsé María Vallejo Mercado, y ahorita que abri el correo se me hizo familiar el nombre de Eligio Romo Jiménez, lo anterior debido a que mi tatarabuela se llamaba Josefa Romo JIménez, y tengo conociemiento que tenia entre otros hermanos a Dorotea que casó con Jacinto Hurtado; tambien Teresa que casó con Doroteo Alvarez; y a Eligio casado con Francisca Gutiérrez ( desconozco el apelolido materno y quienes fueron sus padres).

Josefa casó con mi tatarabuelo Agustin Vallejo Tostado, hijo de JOaquin Vallejo y de Juana Tostado.

Joséfa era hija de Pablo Romo y Manuela JIménez.

Mi pregunta es si se trata de Eligio era hijo de Pablo Romo y Manuela JIménez, o se trata de otro Eligio. y si sabes de quienes eran sus padres.

Si tienes los datos te agradeceria mucho si me los enviares a este correo, Vivo en Jalostotitlán, Jal.

Otro dato que te puedo ofrecer es que Eligio nació en el rancho "Los Portales, Municipio de Jalostotitlán, Jal.

Emeterio casó desconozco con quien casó ( pero ya que me dices que era tu tatarabuelo me da gusto saber que tenemos algo en comun, ya que solo sabia que su descendencia vivia en el municipio del Valle de Guadalupe.)

Por lo anterior me da gusto el tener una linea de parentezco, ( tal vez no te acuerdes de mi pero soy el de Jalos que fuimos contigo un servidor y John González, estuvimos presente en la conferencia con el Lic. Mariano González, tal vez te acuerdes que fuimos a la hacienda del Cuadrado que por cierto no nos dejaron pasar a la hacienda.

Hola Jose Maria,

Me estas confundiendo Con ricardo rodriguez. tambien me llamo ricardo pero soy nieto de hermeregildo romo. Tambien me llamo ricardo pero la mayoria me dicen rick ricky o ricci
Cuando yo iba al valle no me presentaba como hijo de tal y tal. Mi padre salio del valle a los diez anos. Mi madre tambien salio del valle joven de los dies y nueve anos . Yo siempre me presentaba como nieto de mere romo o sobrino del doctor Rito Romo Franco, sobrino de la prieta. le decian la prieta aungue era blanca de cara porque de sus hermanos es la unica que tenia el pelo negro. Los demas eran jueros con los ojos azueles.
aunque algunos si conocen mis padres mas me conocen por mi abuelo o porque soy primo de tal y tal.

Hola a todos, quisiera saber si hay más miembros interesados en asistir y
participar en nuestra segunda reunión anual de Historia y Genealogía de Los
Altos de Jalisco. En la primera reunión que tuvimos el pasado 2 de Agosto
aquí en Valle de Guadalupe, además de contar con la presencia de Don Mariano
Gonzalez Leal como invitado de honor y que nos expuso un tema acerca de la
Historia de la sociedad Alteña, contamos con la asistencia de
aproximadamente 10 miembros de Nuestros Ranchos, además de varias personas
que aunque no eran miembros de NR en aquel momento, ahora ya lo son, ya que
se han integrado a este grupo. En total fueron más de 70 personas que
vinieron que asistieron a la conferencia y a la comida.

La invitación está abierta para todos los miembros de Nuestros Ranchos que
gusten participar, ya sea para que expongan un tema en particular, nos
ayuden con la organización del evento, o hasta para sugerir ideas que nos
puedan ayudar a que el evento de este año sea todo un éxito

Comment

Hola Ricardo, yo también deseo participar en ésta segunda reunión sobre los Altos de Jalisco, que aunque el otro año había dicho que iba ir no pude por motivos de trabajo, pero éste año espero no se presente otro inconveniente.

Me parece bien cualquier lugar de los Altos de Jalisco para la reunión, ya que todos los municipios alteños son buenos para visitar y conocer, no se mucho de los servicios hoteleros que se ofrecen en los municipios ajenos a Tepatitlán, pero yo que vivo en Tepa se que hay muchos hoteles, y que dan buen servicio, yo propondría a Tepa por ese motivo, pero si dices que también en San Miguel hay buen servicio creo que estará bien. Por mi no hay problema, pues me trasladaría de Tepa a San Miguel, pero hay que ver quienes asistirán al evento.

Ricardo, en lo que te pueda ayudar ya sabes que aquí estoy disponible.

Saludos.
Jorge Luis Ramírez Gómez.

Hi tocayo,
I rec'd the book yesterday and I found a picture of you in it. Thanks for sending it to me.
As to the reunion I believe it would easier if were in mid to late july or early august so that more people from the states may attend. I know for me it would me much easier since I teach and that is my time off. I would also prefer San Miguel since that is where my wife is from but I also have a lot of good memories from Tepa. I also have first cousins that still live in Tepa.

Hoy tuve tiempo de abrir el correo en el cual haces la invitación a la segunda reunion:

Estuve en al primer reunion en Valle de Guadalupe, Jal. la cual me pareción muy importante tanto más que estuvo el Lic. Mariano González Leal, lo cual fue todo un exito en parte por tu participación.

Estoy dispuesto a ESTAR EN LA SEGUNDA REUNIÓN, y si es necesario alguna aportación economica para solventar los gastos estoy en la mejor disposición, ya que mo reze el refran " entre muchos la carga es mas liviana".

Solo espero la confirmación o información por este medio, y si tiene cuenta bancaria para realizar la aportación, igual la puedes anotar.

Sin más de momento, felicidades y gracias.

asistir a nuestra reunión del 2009, estoy anotando los nombres de cada
persona que ha contestado para cuando comencemos a oficializar el evento
mandarles un correo con las propuestas y detalles del evento.

Por lo que han sugerido, la mayoría está de acuerdo en que la reunión se
lleve a cabo la primera semana de agosto, ya sea el día primero (sábado) o
el día ocho, y el lugar parece ser que será San Miguel el Alto, a menos que
cambien los planes.

Entre más se acerque el día del evento les iremos mandando correos a los que

Hola Ricardo.

Me parece muy buena la idea que sea en San Miguel el Alto, Jal. además sugiero ( y esto es solo sugerencia de mi parte ya que puede haber otras mejores) que sea el primer sabado de agosto, para que sea mas memorable o recordable la los miembros.

De igual forma la fecha seria lo de menos para mí, ya que la que se decida me parece bien.

Esperando información, agradezco la atención.

Hola Ricardo,

Yo solo quiero saber la fecha ya que el año pasado no me fue posible acudir. Para los principios de Agosto seria ideal.

Estan la meastra Marta Duron y el Doctor Jose Enciso Contreras de la Universidad Autonoma de Zacatecas. Son dos gran personajes para dar una presentacion de la historia de la region y su gente.
Si es necesario participar con algo monetario para invitar a tales personajes, estaria dispuesta para hacer una contribucion.

Espero con mucho animo mas informacion.
Atentamente,
Alicia, San Jose, Calif

Ricardo como estas?

Buenos días.

Como va el asunto de la reunión en San Miguel el Alto?

Yo te propongo lo siguiente, si la reunión es de un día:

9:00 registro de asistentes

9:30 Conferencia por algún experto sobre genealogía o métodos de investigación documental e internet

11:30 descanso

12:00 Conferencia por algún historiador sobre la región de Nuestros Ranchos o algún tema sobre la migración pasada y presente en la región y sus consecuencias.

15:00 Comida

Tarde libre

Pedir el apoyo del municipio de San Miguel el Alto tal vez para el espacio en un auditorio o teatro para las conferencias y para la comida.

Pedir el apoyo de los miembros de Nuestros Ranchos para la comida y el café, agua y galletas para una mesa durante las conferencias, para cubrir los ´viáticos de los conferencistas. Tal vez montar una exposición con los árboles genealógicos de algunas familias en el lugar donde sea la comida o de fotografías antiguas de nuestros abuelos, bisabuelos etc.

¿Estas seguro de que se perdieron? ¿A cual iglesia pertenecían? El simple
hecho del que el gobierno los tenía no quiere decir que se perdieron. Un
documento diciendo que estaban en las manos del gobierno no necesariamente
significa que fueron destruidos los libros. El Registro Civil es parte de
los documentos que mantiene el gobierno y muchos de esos registros todavía
existen. De hecho, aunque no todas las personas registraban a sus hijos, los
documentos en el registro civil pueden ayudar a reconstruir las familias de
ese lugar además de los de la Sagrada Mitra. Desafortunadamente abarcan poco
tiempo y se necesitara utilizar otros registros, tal como los notariales
para encontrar a su familia. Quien sabe hay la posibilidad que se
encuentren algún día.

Daniel,

How far is San Miguel El Alto from San Juan de Los Lagos? I found a Pedro Gutierrz. married to Ma. Ysidra Sta. Crus (in San Juan de Los Lagos)on 17 January 1828. One of his children was Maria de Jesus Gutierrez Santa Cruz, b. 24 June 1829, in San Miguel El Alto. Is this something you already have? Have a nice day.

Wow, yeah thats them, Santa Cruz, huh I thought that was just a mistake so I ruled it out and posted Cruz, I need to update that. San Juan is pretty close to San Miguel, Jesús married in Encarnación de Díaz, what we call "La Chona" but we dont say it often, sounds weird. Have you worked on this family or have the marriage? DO you might sending it a scan? I already know its Gutiérrez but its going to end up being Gutiérrez de Mendoza or HErmosillo. They were Spaniards and married in the same families. Wow this wall was just torn down, many thanks Esther. I already had, Her baptismal date but not the marriage. That would make sense, San Juan is just up the road. If you cant send a scan well the pertinent info will be just fine. -Daniel

Daniel, I am struggling with my scanner (can't seem to figure how to use it :) but I am working on it.)
In the meantime, here is the information I have.

Pedro Gutierrz. married 17 January 1828, with Ma. Ysidra Sta. Crus, in San Juan De Los Lagos, Jalisco. Batch # M603413, (Ser. #00602) (1823-1841) film #00220710.  They were sealed in the Los Angeles, CA Temple.  In another record, they have a child named Maria de Jesus Gutierrez Santa, b. 1829.

I do have a lot of Gutierrez and Mendoza in my maternal side but they are in the 1800's.  My places are Ocotlan, Zapotlan del Rey, La Barca, Jamay, and Guadalajara, and others.

I am happy to I was able to help an expert genealogist.  Thank you.   Esther Jordan

I am actually very exited as this will open a huge door where the alteños will coming out! I already descend from Gutiérrez de Mendoza family so would nt be surprised his parents are them. The only other Gutiérrez are Gutiérrez de Hermosillo and Gutiérrez de Coronado.

Y DNA Update

Hello Everyone, seeing the post today in regards to Y DNA results, It occurred to me that I said I would share my results when they came in.

Comments

Comment

Hola a todos, viendo el post hoy en cuanto a resultados ADN-Y se me ocurrio que habia dicho que compartiera mis resultados en cuanto me llegaran. Disculpame por no haberlo hecho aunque lo mas seguro es que nadie dejo de dormir por eso ( JA !) Mis Y resultados ADN-Y son E1b1b1a2\Version Corta E-V13. Es el tercer más común haplogrupo entre los hombres de Europea y considerado uno de los bases o fundaciones de los grupos de Europe. Es el unico subgrupo E que se encuentra con baja frecuencia(2% ) en el Norte de Africa. Este subgrupo esta asociado con la península balcánica donde se encuentra el porcentaje mas grande en el mundo de E-V13. Se usa para identificar poblaciones ancianas como los ¿illyrians?, tracios y macedonios y tambien los griegos. Poblaciones modernos que tienen alta porcentaje de E-V13 son albaneses, griegos peloponesos, búlgaros y macedonios.
En España se encuentra en baja cantidad y principalmente esta concentrado en el occidente, los porcentajes son Extremadura (9%)

Comment

"So what does it all mean?well, for one, I'm the only E-V13 on Gary Felix's website, the “Geneology of Mexico”. There are others who have the same 12 \37 marker results, but have not done the deep clade test, so who knows ? As far as helping me with my genealogy studies, as of yet it has not. I'm thinking that my ancestors in Spain may have come from one of the western provinces, perhaps Extremadura, but it’s all speculation at this point. Sorry to bore you all ! Thanks for your patience!

Robert,

You are welcome to email Gary Felix and see what he thinks about your haplogroup but I doubt that you will get more information than what you already expressed. The E-series of haplogroups can be grouped into the Mediterranean/Semitic group of Y-DNA. So, you should not be surprised if you found yourself related to a Jew, a Berber, or whoever was in the southern part of the Mediterranean "pond"---same gene pool, same Semitic/Mediterranean stock.

Gentlemen,

The Y-DNA test can offer some surprises and leave you with more questions
instead of answers. I expected a variety of possible origins, except the one
found. So far, I'm the only
one in the study to turn up Haplogroup O. Although my Robledo family line
claimed. Asturias as their homeland, it is actualy South Asia, most likley
the Phillipines.

Thanks for posting them Joseph, that is the Atalantic Modal type correct ? found through out Spain and the British Isles ? Have you done much research on this haplotype ?

Joseph, I see you commented "Spanish Origins Valley of Trucios, Province of Biscay" Do you have more info? My ancestors are from the same area, Valmaseda, but with a surname from Valle de Mena, Burgos. I won't have my results until August though.
Armando

Comment

Armando,
Is music to my ears to hear the name Valmaseda (=Balmaseda). My father-in-law, Jose Maria Ibarreche grew up there (he was born nearby). Its a beatiful Basque town just south of Bilbao, and the frontier of Viscaya with Burgos. I was told that it was never conquered by neither by the Moors or the Spaniards. The Romans constructed a beautiful Roman bridge over the river (I got a painting of it at home by one of my wife's aunts). On one side the bridge faces Valmaseda, and on the other, land at one time dominated by the moors. On that side, the moors added a tower to the bridge that is filled of inscriptions in arabic. I guess it served as a customs office to document trade between the two 'nations' at the time. You should visit it one time, the whole area is very rugged and beautiful.
What is the surname of your ancestors from that area?

Hi Ed, Thanks very much for the reply. I have been in touch with Gary and found him to a warm, helpful person who is always ready to answer a question how ever silly. A couple of comments on your post though, I have no problem with the possibility of Jewish ancestry, but this marker (E-V13) according to research is an ancient non Semitic Mediterranean marker found in it's highest levels in the Balkans, specifically among Albanians . Please don't misunderstand this explanation as a desire to prove no Jewish ancestry, rather a clarification. I’d be proud of my ancestors if they were Martians. As for Berber ancestry, the Berbers do belong to a very specific E sub clade which is E-M81, called specifically the Berber marker, it is present in over 90 percent of Berber men. My group is found at it's lowest levels in North Africa, according to some studies as low a 0.09 percent. E-M81 is found at moderate levels in Spain, E-V13 is found at very low levels in Spain. There is no such thing as a

Robert,

I am not saying your genetic data suggests a Jewish ancestry, only that it is a possibility, like many other possibilities, which is the problem with all this Y-DNA data. Yes, DNA does not lie, but it may not give you the truth of what happened, e.g. an illegitimate birth. Jews are a culture, a religion, a way of living; it is not a specific genetic type, although there are certain genetic types that were Jews. I try to not mix genes with cultures and religions but it is often not possible to mention one without mentioning the other.

Sangre limpia is an interesting concept, laughable when you consider Spanish history, which is a land that is one of the earliest mixing pots in the world. I have read, perhaps erroneously, that the blue bloods of Spain thought themselves to be of Visigoth extraction, which is bizarre since the Visigoths made up a such a short period of time in Spanish history.

Sangre limpia. Mexico adds another two layers of New World admixture: Black African

Comment

The Visigoths still exist today, in Spain and Spanish America. Spaniards are a mixture of Europeans, Celtic, Goth (Germanic) Suevic, Nordic and many more. The south tends to exist the Jewish and Arabic connection. While the north tends to be more of that Catholic blood. Essentially the Spaniards of today are the visigoths of the past. Limpieza de Sangre is a difficult thing to explain at times and very harsh to hear, essentially its to 'whiten' oneself and their descendants. This usually happened when a mestizo child (that of a European and Native American) essentially that Mestizo would marry white to make a castizo and then castizo married white again to make full European, hiding its Native American genes, from then on they would keep marrying other Spanish. If a mestizo would come along one day the whole process would repeat. A perfect example of Limpirza de Sangre would be our Moctezuma connection, Isabel married Hernan Cortes, Leonor married Valderrama, then Petronila married

Hi Mendez, very interesting post. I've never had the pleasure of visiting my father's birthplace, San Jose De Bazarte in Los Altos. My great grandfather is buried under the alter in the small church there, from what I hear my family were haciendados who were one of the first spanish familes to settle there. I have pictures of them and they were all tall, blonde haired and blue eyed except for my grandfather who was tall, but had jet black hair. They were all horsemen, as many in Los Altos are, according to my grandmother, the Gonzalez's lived in the saddle.

They did also intermarry with their 2nd and 3rd cousins of the Casillas clan, which is also very interesting. Another interesting note, I read in a study that when the Visgoths migrated out of there original homeland, one of the stops they made before ending up in Spain was the Balkans, where my DNA Haplogroup is found in high numbers. It's also noted via historical evidence that other non gothic groups joined them on their

Hey Mando, Thanks for fixing the link ! The chart shows the frequency of specific haplotypes in the different regions of Spain. The last bigger pie graph at the bottom shows the haplotypes associated with Sephardic heritage by percentage in the countries of Spain,Portugal, Greece ,Bulgaria etc. As you can see, the most frequent haplotypes associated with Jewish heritage are J2,J and G...followed by R1b. Does this mean that everyone who has these haplotypes are Jewish ? Absolutely not... just as it doesn't mean that there are no Jewish E1b1b's. The specific E subclade assosiated with the Sephardim is V-22. Thanks ! Robert~

Hi Gabriela and Robert, I am also Casillas y Cabrera, HAHA, everyone is related after all this time. Wonder how they started, did the first families meet and just decided "Let marry each other". Ive always had the curiosity. -Daniel

Hi Gabriela, you never know ! We could be related ! I worked construction with a man from Jalisco, he said that all the altenos were related in one way or another,he also said everyone in the state of Jalisco knew that those from Los Altos were gauchupines \ Spaniards or Europeans. Hope I spelled that right ! What part of Los Altos is your family from ? regards, Robert~

Comment

We have to be careful with that word, not sure if that man said that word but Gauchupines in Mexico is the quivalent of saying "stupid white person". I know many people would get offended if called that, I know I would. It was a word to discriminate against Mexicans of European descent. As to the alteñs, yes everyone is related, ca. 1602 is when everyone starting intermarrying. Little did they know that within 50-100 years everyone wiould be related, creating a really small gene pool. Thus not having much hcance of marrying someone out from your blood. -Daniel

Hi Daniel, He knew exactly what the word ment, although he said it with a smile on his face . He felt that Altenos were a bit too haughty for is taste , too proud. I'm not familar with the way people from the different states or pueblos of Mexico interact with each other, but I've learned some since then. Robert ~

Hey Daniel:

I was born, raised in Mexico til' I was about ten, and then again as an
adult, I lived in Mexico for ten years. My experience is that the word "
Gachupin" was used exclusively for Spanish people. Not used for all "white"
people as you state, there are other names for them, not very nice, I might
add.

A quick look on the internet will give you the following definitions:

1.Gachupin=Spanish established in Mexico or Guatemala.

2.Name given in Mexico to a native of Spain, who in Lima is called
"Chapeton", and in Buenos Aires, "Maturrango" (SpanishDict.com)
Google and Yahoo both, translate it as Gachupin=Gachupin
3.Oxford Spanish Dictionary, Third Edition:
"Gachupin" m (Mex pey) Spaniard.

My note: "pey" above stands for perjorative.

In Sonora we had a friend from Oviedo and he told me that in Spain gachupin
meant "horseman" I have no idea how true that is, but I had no reason to
doubt him.

Ask your grandfather, he'll probably knows the origin of the word.

Hey Primo, That's what I always thought, gauchpin referes to the Spaniards, it seems to refer to their spurs, or a corruption of the word the indigenous peoples used for spur, so yes, it eludes to them being horsemen.

Gracias para el verso. Me recordaba de los dichos chistosos de mi abuelo.
Gachupin era una palabra nueva para mi. Consulte con mi experto personal de
espanol--mi padre--el me dice que esa palabra es mas como "pocho" en nivel
de peyorativismo, en vez de "gringo", que tenga menos.

Comment

In Colonial Mexico, a *gachupin* was a person born to two Spaniards in
Mexico. This was to differentiate them from the *peninsulares *or
Spaniards born in Spain who monopolized the higher government offices. Just
being born in Mexico made them somehow inferior to the Spanish born. This
was the class that eventually fomented the War of Independance against the
Spanish in the 1820s

But what do I know, to my Mexico City relatives, my grandfather and us are
just a bunch of
*gabachos*!

You're right about the word Gauchupines, when I was in Jerez someone used it and it was as a put down.  I did find it interesting that prejudice exists in Mexico just as in other countries.  I guess the feelings against the original Spaniards are alive and well after 500 years but oppression is hard to get by and has a long memory.

I thought Limpieza de Sangre meant that seminarians had to prove they had no Muslim or Jewish blood before they were allowed to take holy orders. I guess at first only Europeans were allowed to be priests? I see that there are microfilms of records of those proceedings. In Mexico, you have many Indio or Mestizo priests, not just white priests. By what date was that Limpieza de Sangre business put to rest officially?

I agree with Antonio Santillan. I do not speak Spanish, even though
my father was born in Jalisco. It was forbidden in our house (except
when he and my mother had secrets not for children's ears). It is
difficult to follow everything on this list unless a person is
bilingual. My fondest wish would be to have a translating angel who
would magically translate all the emails into both Spanish and
English so we could all participate in whatever discussion interests
us. Valuable information would not be missed.

Maybe, one of these days, there will be such an invention for the net.

I'm a different Linda but we had the same rule in our family, No Spanish unless it was a secret plus my grandparents would tell us," you're an American so speak English!)  I know that they thought they were helping us to fit by not having a Spanish accent when we spoke English.  Our town was very divided racially and all any parents want's is the best avenue for their children so I'm not angry or fell cheated.  I did take it in high school but found when you don't use it you loose it!  When I went to Mexico they laughed at my slow broken Spanish but appreciated that I did try.  My family immigrated in 1916 from Jerez and both grandparents became citizens and spoke English to all the grandchildren.

They alway pointed out "What's your last name again? And I respond by speaking in German.

The primary and secondary language issue is complex. Both my parents are from Mexico, however, my first language was English, yet I am bilingual. When they immigrated to the US in the late 1940's they moved into the "anglo" side of town for the better schools and witnessed the difficulty my older brother had and vowed they would try to make life easier for me when I was born 15 years later. They spoke to me primarily in English, but continued to use Spanish amongst themselves. My MA is in second language acquisiton and learning, and I now know why it worked. At any time in our lives we all acquire language in the same process: listening, understanding, and speaking. I didn't speak Spanish until I was about 18 because of the lack of necessity and opportunity in my neighborhood and educational situation. However, when I decided to make the effort to speak Spanish, it did come and I am able to speak both languages without an accent. So you don't necessarily lose it if you don't

Its ironic...My family has been in the States for 3 born generations(and the
crossover generation before that). My grandparents, first generation(at
least..on my grandma's side..dunno much about my grandfather's side) born
here, speak/spoke it but also are native english speakers. My mother and my
aunts/uncles all were taught English and didn't learn Spanish(for those that
know it now) until high-school or college or just curiosity as adults. As
far as my mother goes, she has some understanding ability but no speaking
ability whatsoever. She's as bleached as they come. Myself and my brothers
have learned Spanish only through high-school, although I personally took
only 2 years and have a very weak vocabulary and crippled grammar. In
university, I took up the study of Hebrew instead of continuing with
Spanish(and its funny because I'm in San Diego).......When intoxicated I

Linda,

My Dad was also from Jerez, and he would have liked his children to speak Spanish, but my mother was a Native of New Mexico, and they spoke a dialect all their own that my father did not like and that Mexicans made fun of, so we preferred English to get ahead faster as Americans. We just did not need Spanish, anymore than most Mexicans have no need to learn English.

I don't see the problem with using the online translation services. When I use those to translate from Spanish to English, it is like a robot speaking, the syntax is weird, but at least I get the gist of what is being said.

HaHa, my step grandmother is from New Mexico, I love her Spanish, New Mexico Spanish sounds kinda like Spanish from Los Altos de Jalisco, its like my grandpa says, "así es como nos quedo" referring the majority of Spanish blood in Los Altos, so oviously how they spoke reflects how we speak today. Its possible another reason why New Mexico sounds like Los Altos, because they received large number of alteños. It has a ring or whistle thingy, not sure how to describe it. Her family is one of the oldest families who settled New Mexico, "de Durán y Chávez."

Yes, it could be that people who were isolated in the earlier centuries like the New Mexicans were, and maybe in the Altos too, continued to speak Spanish the way it was spoken in earlier times. My friend from Spain told me that my mother used words that she knew were from the 18th century, and they did speak in a nasally tone, and skipped some consonents--for example, they would say "hequia" for hacequia (ditch?) and words ending in "ado" were pronounced as "ao".

I found this thread very interesting to read. I myself do not speak spanish even though my parents did (mostly talking about us kids at the dinner table) I understand a few words here and there, but not much. It surprised me to learn that my mothers father who was from the old Californio families was not raised speaking spanish until he met my grandmother who was from Durangom, Mexico.

I was born and raised in the eastern part of Los Angeles county and my father did not want his children to learn spanish for fear we would be discriminated against. We did not live in the barrio like my grandparents (my Los Altos ancestors), but on the north end of town in a middle class neighborhood, in an all Caucasian neighborhood. I have heard stories regarding my great uncles who applied for work with the county of L.A. and were not hired due to their ethic background. The 1930's was also a time in this county where Mexican/Americans were being deported to Mexico even though they were born in the

Hi Linda, Emile, Alice et al.

I am shocked and interested in this new topic, ive been following it. My parents, always told me to speak Spanish, no questions. I was able to learn English just fine, like any other 5 year old, you catch it once you begin to hear it. My mother always told me its okay to Americanize but never abandon your mother tongue. I even sound like I was born in Mexico, I was able to get my parents' 'accent'. I am grateful to my parents who gave the most beautiful language in the world, wouldnt change it for nothing, I learned to love spanish and use it. I always use it any chance I have which raises eyebrows sometimes. I think we all a number of stories.

I believe I mentioned, I never lost Spanish, just as a child had no practical use for it. By the time I attended UT I was able to place out of 21 hours of Spanish with a perfect score, so the language was there, only under utilized. This being an English-speaking nation, and English being one of the most sought after languages in the world for socio-economical reasons, I believe my parents absolutely did the right thing. They came to the US, as most people do, for its economic opportunities. I'd find it shocking if they had allowed me to enter school with an English language deficiency that would place me behind, as my older brother was. They never told me I couldn't or shouldn't speak Spanish, they wanted me to start my education here competing on a level playing field with regards to English. I'm sure that you're aware that at that time, being bilingual was not something that was particularly sought after here. It's funny that although my first language was English, culturally

Hi all,

Don't be surprised that many of us "older" first generation Americans
don't speak our parents mother tongue. My father was born in
Tepatitlan de Morelos in 1909. That was 100 years ago with 100 years
ago attitudes. He came to the States in 1923, following his older
brother who came a few years earlier. His brother settled in the
"Mexican neighborhood" of Milwaukee. My father raised his family in
the "Polish neighborhood". My father and his sister both married
Anglos, his brother married a Mexican. Dad told stories about his
family back in Mexico but most of the stories were fabricated. One
example was that his father or grandfather came from Spain. I've
traced his direct male ancestors back to around 1820 and they were
all born in Tepatitlan. So much for his pride in his heritage. It
was the "old way." As you can guess by my father's age, I am not a
spring chicken and learning a new language is not easy. I've picked
up enough to read

hi linda,
I am about to start my research for my Tepatitlan branch, I am going to look
for the marriges file of 1854, so I am almost sure I will be looking for the

I´ll tell you my findings.

Well, my english is not quite good, I hope you undestand me, if you or

on doing it.

Hi Linda,

I've heard that there is a book called "Retonos de la Nueva Galicia" which contains the info you are referring to. I have been to Tepatitlan, I have heard that 113 families actually came from Spain to Los Altos and kept intermarrying as opposed to mixing with the indians. According to what I have been told, it was in the early 1500's.

Does anyone know about it??

Comment

HI Gabriela not sure if we have communicated or met before? Im Daniel, the book is really what revolve around our genealogy, alot of us on here can trace our lineage to Los Altos. If you been to Tepatitlán or anywhere in Los Altos, you can tell, the majority are really white and tall, you can find from bright brown eyes to brightest blue eyes and anything in between, greenm grey, etc. From Brunettes, blondes and black hair. The book goes into detail about our appearance. I am a fellow alteño, i lived there for about a year when I was yournger but was born in the US. The reason why there is absence of mixing is because its so high up, hence Los Altos. Even my grandpa who married his second cousin said, Why need to go down when I can marry here. I always laugh at him, he's very funny. My mother's family came a little late Camino-Soto, to Mexico a little after the independence but once they got there they were able to assilimilate into alteño society pretty quickly.

I was always told to be proud of your Spanish roots, we come from a great people, states my deceased grandmother when I was younger. I think thats what matters, we all should be proud of what makes us and who we are, nothing can change that. I am proud of my roots, Los Altos is a beautful place, the architecture is gorgeous and the food is very good.

Hi Armando,

I also love that 'Alteño' channel on youtube they post great videos on our culture. I remember as a child I would always be told of stories, 'Los conquistadores, El Cid, Don Quijote, El Rey, Alfonso I, La Conquista', Then old stories of the revolution. I think 'Los Altos' has a unique culture then the rest of Méjico, a region of one of a kind. Like my grandfather says, "Nunca olvidaremos nuestra Madre Patria, España". I was able to live in 'Los Altos' when I was 6 to abt 7 years old. So abt 8-9 months, it was the best experience to see my grandparents. The saying is true though eventhough we all come from the first (not sure if too say Spanish, b/c they were other Europeans too) families, all the 'alteños' were enemies at the same time. My grandfathers uncles and cousins killed each other in a duel in 1950. Over the love of their cousin and some personal hatred towards each other.

Hi Ed, please forgive me if my last post to you sounded a little pointed, It wasn't my intention and I do apologize if there was a misunderstanding. Of course I realize that our DNA is only a small percentage of the wider picture that makes us who we are , I also agree that DNA results cannot give us the truth of our families conception, here are two good examples ; When the Moors invaded Spain, many Hispano Goths and Hispano Romans converted to Islam so they could retain some of there lands and status. Were we do dig up the bones of one of these fellows and test their DNA it would not show that these men converted to Islam, as with Judaism, there is no Islamic gene. Now I do agree that DNA studies will give us a good picture of a group of people who in all likelihood may be of a certain faith, but we cannot say for sure. Also alot is made of the Celts in Spain. Recent genetic studies in Spain have proven that the true Celts left a very small imprint on the genetics of modern Spaniards

Robert,

Gee, what you say is very interesting, but, if like you say, "quick to label results as Jewish , Moorish, Celtic and so on. DNA predates any of the formation of these cultures", then why do the DNA studies? Mr. Greenspan of Family Tree DNA told me that he started the program to try to trace ancestry back to Moses and Aaron. If they can link you back to Cohen ancestry, then you are probably descended from Moses, or the priest class. He didn't say it in those words, but that is what I understood. There is a Catholic priest in New Mexico whose DNA linked him to the Cohen ancestors. He is proud of it. I guess he feels he is in the right profession by ancestry.

Also, my husband is what you would call an "alteno", tall, and very white. He knew that his mother's ancestors, the Acostas, had been very prominent Jews in Spain, then they converted to Catholicism when forced to; I guess they call them "maranos". When I was having my hair done in Mexico City once, the hairdresser

Hi Emilie , Thank for the reply, perhaps I should gone into a little more detail, my apologies. I am aware of the Cohen marker and yes, in some cases you can identify a specific ethnic group via DNA, absolutely. The issue I have is this, I will use my own group as an example. I know a bit more about it than others, the haplotype E contains varios sub clades, E-V13 and E-M81 are two I will use here to illustrate my point. E1b1b1a2, shorthand E-V13 is found at it's highest levels the Balkans, which includes Greece,Macedonia and Albania just to name a few Balkan countries. It is found at it's highest rates worldwide there, in someplaces as many as 47 percent of men have this marker, that is a staggering amount. Therefore, it can be speculated that the Ancient inhabitants of the Balkans, Illyrians, Macedonians and Thracians carried this marker, but it was inherited before the division of tribes, before there were such people as Thracians etc.

So here we see a marker that is common to

Hi Robert and Emilie et al. About Jews and Los Altos, there is some jewish origin in some families. One is the infamous case of the Padilla Dávila they have Jewish blood, not sure how but in Retoños I by Mariano Gonzalez Leal, it states that they were able to assilimate with the alteños eveenthough by law it was ilegal to marry a jew, because of herecy. I come from the Padillas at least once I believe So I guess I do have jewish connection. About looking Mexican thats absurd, I hate it when people say "you don't look Mexican" as if we all looked the same. Not sure why in Mexico, Europe and Latin America when someone thinks of a Mexican they usually picture the colonial, fair skinned person but in the US they picture a more Native American. I am Mexican and I always picture a fair-skinned person possibly due to the influence I had as a child to Los Altos. All my cousins look just like I do. Thats a shock and very offensive when people say I dont look Mexican. Mexico has all colors

Hey Daniel, it is crazy in regards to stereo typing any ethnic group and the way they look. It is true that most, but not all, of Anglo America thinks all Mexicans look and act the same. So many have no clue about the different groups that make up the modern Mexican, and forget about Spain ! George W. Bush himself thought Spain was located in South America ! One funny note about not looking hispanic \ latino is that on more than one occasion I've caught people talking about me or my wife in Spanish because they don't realize I SPEAK SPANISH ! When I reply to them in Spanish, the looks on their faces are priceless. Robert~

I have experienced the same. You just need to go to different regions in Mexico, there is no uniform "look" for a Mexican, so narrow-headed thinking.

Yo he tenido la misma experiencia (gente pinsa que no soy de Mexico y hace comentarios de Mexico o en Espanol, cuando respondo se sorprenden) . Solo se necesita viajar a las diferentes regiones de Mexico para darse cuenta de que no hay un solo "look" para los mexicanos (de todos colores y sabores), mente muy cerrada!

I agree Gabriels, I too have faced some difficult and have been hurt of comments people make. They assume Mexican is a certain look. I think they forget Europeans did immigrate to Mexico. I also think its people opinion what is Mexican to me, may not be Mexican too someone else. Where we come from in Los Altos, the usual Mexican will be have very European characteristics, hence ever since I was a child, that was a Mexicn for me since the influence and my family around, My friends today, have other views of what is MExican. Just like the US, Mexicano is a pluralcultural country, there are white, blacks, mestizos, etc. Its not good to be narrow minded. -Daniel

Hi Robert, I was always taught as a child, Hispanics/Latinos do not exist, I was always told we are all either white, black or asian or native American. Hence ehy I dont associate my self with Hispanic, its just another way to try to seperate spanish-speaking people from Anglo America. I was told I am white and Mexican. I think

Robert,
Thanks for sharing the info. It is interesting to learn about the results of these studies. I think it would be great if your post were translated to Spanish for those in México that participate in Nuestros Ranchos. What area of Jalisco, Zacatecas or Aguascalientes are your Mexican ancestors from?

Armando

Comment

Hi Armando ! Thanks for the reply, I'll do my best to translate my findings in to Spanish very soon. My father's people are from La Villa de San Jose de Bazarte in Los Altos,Jalisco , just outside of Tepatitlan.

Hi Robert,
This was not boring AT ALL. Thank you for taking the time to write out a
fuller explanation of your DNA findings. My grandfather (surname Torres) did
a DNA test which we then did a deep clade on and got the following results:
R1b1b2a1b; or shorthand: R-P312. According to this test, he came up negative
for most mutations (L21- M153- M222- M37- M65- P312+ P66- SRY2627- U152-),
except P312 which I thought was the least "descriptive." I would love any
additional information you or others may have on this DNA result.

Hi Robert:

I also belong to the same Haplogroup as you: E1b1b1- M35. I had my YDNA
analyzed by Genetree.for 36 markers. I am interested in comparing them to
yours to see how many we have in common. Could you please send me a copy of
your markers?

Thank you.

Hi Primo ! I've tried to send you a screen shot of my results with no luck, you can see them on The Geneology of Mexico website though ! Keep in touch !
