I'm new to this group and read many of the groups
messages.. In my family lines there were hijo and
hijas naturales along with hijo/hijas legitimos. For
example 3 naturals out of family 12. I have a copy of
the Church Marriage Record.... so why a natural
baptism for 3 of them. I have a gggrandfather baptized
as a Don? Why at birth is someone named a don? Heir
apparent? Laborers, Sirvientes, miners.
I have a family line who think they are French. Why?
Because of Grandma's Green eyes! The truth of the
matters is they can not accept the fact they are
Indian decent mixed with espanoles.
I'm Mexican, born and raised in the U.S., and I'm
proud to be Mexican. My 4th greatgrandfather was
espanol. His brothers and sisters married
espanoles/las. But Ysidro Munoz married an Yndia. My
3th Great, Roque Munoz 1760, a mestizo was at times
recorded on Bautismo records as espanol, coyote, and
lobo? Why such a thing? They were from Rancho de
Banon, Zac., 2nd great Francisco Munoz 1786 a mestizo,
from Hacienda de Grunidora, 1st great Teofilo Munoz
1817, from Hacienda Grunidora, SLP, no race given, and
my granfather Jose Angel Munoz Ybarra 1886, Hacienda
De Solis, SLP, my line from 3rd marriage of
Teofilo{age 69.. yes age 69}. My father Elpidio Munoz
b. 1906 Hacienda de Solis, SLP. This is why I'm
Mexican. My roots...
Me: MUNOZ,YBARRA,TRISTAN,GALVAN...Villa de Cos, San
Cosme, Burgo de San Cosme, Zacatecas. Grunidora,
Hacienda Solis...SLP
My spouse: LUNA, ARELLANO, CORTEZ, CORREA, SANDOVAL,

We have done our homework and research for nearly ten
years. We still want to learn and share.
