John, The link sent by Jose Munoz was of great interest to me because my husband's maternal grandfather was a Chihuahua (Ciudad de Chihuahua) policeman, a "federal", born in 1853, died in 1951, chased "el Indio Victorio" all over the place, never caught him. I have one picture of him in his uniform, which is very, very different from the ones worn by Leticia's ancestors (it looks more like the uniform worn by the soldiers of the Confederate States of America in the 1860's, light colored with a cap). Unfortunately, in the picture, he is seated holding one of his infant daughters and his left breast is obscured by the child, so I can't see a badge. The photo is very faint in some places, but I can make out the insignia on the cap clearly: it is two light colored bars (vertical----gold or silver?) with a dark bar in the middle. The insignia on the shoulder is too faint to make out. My husband is taking his nightly nap right now (I've been up all night putting up the Christmas décor), but when he wakes up later today, I will ask him if he knows what rank his "tata" held. If he doesn't know, I will call his elderly (more elderly than my husband) cousin and see if she knows. Emilie Garcia Port Orchard, WA ----

it looks fine, but the eagle is bending the head; in the photo the head is up, could be a police; the photo most probably was taken in Jesus Maria or Arandas, Jal. between 1920 and 1930. I think he is my great-grandfather half brother. All of these photos were given to my father when my gg father past the way by, the last and third wife. thank you, Leticia Leon

The last line of your message is confusing...I believe the eagle was just an emblem and had nothing to do with rank. In the U.S. Armed Forces, the eagle emblem on the headgear only designates "enlisted" or "officer" the enlisted has a circle around the eagle, the officer's emblem has a bigger eagle without the circle.I am no expert,
but the CP could designate the unit to which he belonged, not the rank...Keep on digging, Iam sure somebody will come up with an answer.Good luck.----- Original Message -----From: leticia leonSent: Saturday, December 03, 2005 1:54 PMSubject: [ranchos] militar insignia regarding my photosok,
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.
