Hi Alice,
I was looking for your genealogy in the files section, but couldn't
find it. You said you have Martin del Campo ancestry and I wanted to
see if we have a link. I have several Martin del Campo lines in my
family tree.

to the Romo de Vivars, which leads to the Ruiz de Esparza family, and
supposedly they descend from Moctezuma. For whatever reasons, people
laugh hysterically when they hear Moctezuma's name. And former
President Lopez-Portillo was a Martin del Campo, as well, and that
elicits more laughter. Sadly, my grandparents came to Carpinteria,
CA to pick lemons and green beans, making all these discoveries seem
unreal to people.

I'm sorry it's a zip file and I think a Gedcom. I converted it from

submitting this to you. My Saldivar line married into the Morillo
line that was entered by a Villavicencio bride. This Villavicencio
(Juliana del Carmen) was a descendant of many of the conquistadores
of Mexico and of the noblest families of Spain, who also descended
from the French king, Charlemagne. Cool, huh? But as my Tia Carmen
heatedly said, " Yeah, if my mother's family was so noble and rich,
how come they didn't give her a helping hand when she needed it?"
Well, that was hundreds of years ago, Tia. Talk about a Tess of the
D'Urbervilles situation!!!!
