It appears we have several things in common: I like nopalitos, I also live in San Jose and we just may share some distant relatives. According to a brief autobiography of my mother (Guadalupe Flores), her biological father's name was JOSE CARRILLO. Lupe was orphaned at a very early age in Ciudad Chihuahua. She believed her mother's name was Maria Garcia (Hidalgo de Paral) but my research indicates her name was Maria Macias. Maria died Ciudad Chihuahua at the age of 17 (1905) leaving her small daughter in the care of an old couple Tomas/Petra Dominquez who later left the child in the care of Alejandra Castillo. MARIA GARCIA/MACIAS supposedly married JOSE CARRILLO (Zacatecas) in Ciudad Chihuahua. I have not been able to find/verify Guadalupes birth (Dec. 12, 1903) in Ciudad Chihuahua nor the marriage of Maria to Jose Carrillo. Guadalupe woujld eventually end up in McFarland, Calif. as the adopted daughter of Alejandra and Gaspar Flores. Alejandra met Gaspar Flores in Ciu.Chi. where Alejandra had been a close friend of MARIA GARCIA/MACIAS. It was Alejandra who would later take the child GUADALUPE GARCIA/MACIAS/CARRILLO away into the USA never to return. Indications are that Jose Carrillo was drafted (1905?) by Porfidio Diaz's army and was sent to serve his enlistment in Sonora. Upon returning to Chihuahua City, he learned of Maria's death. sADLY, It is believed that the child, Guadalupe, was taken to the USA before Jose returned from Zacatecas with enough money to repay Gaspar/Alejandra for her upkeep while he was in the service. Guadalupe Flores (my mother) died in 1985 and is buried in Delano, CA. with my father (1963), foster grandparents Gaspar/Alejandra Flores and most of my family. Life can strange at times. As such, it is possible that one can sometimes discover long lost friends and/or relatives living in the same neighborhood. I would appreciate your consideration of the meager facts I have presented you with in the hopes that a connection can be discovered with regard JOSE CARRILLO husband of MARIA GARCIA/MACIAS. Perhaps this chance interest in your reseta for nopalitos will prove to be the connecting link needed to fill in the blank pages in the life of GUADALUPE CARRILLO/FLORES/FELIX.
