Puentes Bros. Store in San Jose, CA
Joseph,
I had been meaning to ask you about that picture of the men in front of the "Puentes Bros" store.
My husband and I were brought from the Southwest to San Jose as children right after WWII (he from El Paso, age 12, and me from New Mexico's Mesilla Valley, age 8). We lived there, went to school (St. Joseph's, Washington Elementary, Wilson Jr. High, SJ High, SJCC, SJSU), worked there, and retired there before moving up to the Northwest in 1996. Our families in San Jose always bought the corn tortillas at Puentes Bros. since Safeway didn't sell any Mexican products, and I remember my mother would pick up the masa, chiles, etc. for tamales there too.

Name that does not follow traditional surname progression.
I've run across a surname that does not comply with the traditional Mexican progression of surnames. In other words, the name of the person is not followed by the surname of the father, then the surname of the mother.

DNA: The Genealogy of Mexico Project
Linda with DNA the geographical areas are easier to cross and still make connections. A great
database has already been set up and it would be good to make your contributions there on

Accurate Transcribing: was-gedcom files
I've standardized all my spellings to conform to today's language.
At first I left the old names, they are quaint and add a certain flavor to my tree.
But my tree is too large and unwieldly for that now. Too many alternate names cause confusion and chaos.

Maria Ruano's Siblings
Actually, I found five individuals whom I believe are siblings for Yolanda's grandmother, Maria Ruano. There may be more, but the IGI database for Nochistlan only goes up to 1875. Unless the microfilms for the years after 1875 are indexed, it will necessitate going through them entry by entry to find any others.

DC Parade
Isn't that you, Joseph, and Figen, in photo #18? I
hope you had a good time while in DC, and didn't get
caught in that sudden gully-washer of a storm that we
had on the afternoon of the 4th.

Haplogroup R1B1. Haplotype 99.
I got my expanded 67 marker YDNA test results this week from Family Tree, over a month late. Apprentely, they are still fine tuning this latest test. The most expansive YDNA test on the market. When I signed on for it they only offered 59 markers, but they decided to extend it.
