Greetings!
My name is Mercedes Gomez Villalobos and I am happy to be a new member to Nuestros Ranchos. I'm still learning how to navigate this website. I'm posting as much info as I've managed to research in the last 3 years. I need help if anyone out there knows about these wonderfully mysterious distant relatives. I often wonder where my family came from and from what countries we originated. I understand we have French and Spanish and Indigenous blood. My parents had 12 children we're all alive, including my 105 year old mother. Her mind is sharp and she has wonderful stories to tell us. My father had blue eyes and blond hair, my mother had brown eyes, hair. We're all different from very light hair and skin to medium olive skin and brown eyes.

My father Antonio Gomez Gonzalez b.1899 and mother Virginia Villalobos Aguilera B.1905 both in Canadas, Jalisco. My paternal grandparents: Francisco Gomez Martinez b.1869 , his parents: Nicolas Gomez and Gregoria Martinez. They had some children born in El Sagrario, Aguascalientes, Irapuato, Guanajuato and Encarnacion de Diaz. . Joaquina Gonzalez Jimenez b. 1874, her parents: Jose Maria Gonzalez and Simona Jimenez. I believe they came from a military family because there's a photo of Francisco's son Jesus Gomez Martinez with a military uniform. I believe he might have served under Porfirio Diaz. We don't know what happened to him. He was 15 when he left Encarnacion to serve in the military.

My maternal grandparents: Florencio Villalobos Aguilera b.1873 in San Sebastian Del Alamo, his parents were Ysidro Villalobos Lopez b.1834 and Jacoba Aguilera Garcia b.1838 m.1857, Teocaltiche
Maria Leonides Aguilera Diaz b.1871, Rio Chico, her parents: Justo Aguilera Quezada B. 1831, his parents: Anastacio Aguilera and Rita Quezada . Macsima Diaz Villalobos b. 1841, her parents: Jose Rafael Diaz and Justa Villalobos Carrano b. 1809. Justa's parents: Juan Jose Villalobos and Petra Carrano. Juan Jose was Fernando Villalobos and Maria Lozano's son.

I hope this introduction will stir some interest in those who might have the same distant relatives.
Thanks and Vaya con Dios.
