Well that is very interesting and I have a situation where my GG
grandfather, Maximo Gonzales is the child of Antonio Gonzales and
Ignacia Gonzales. You might have given me great food for thought on
this subject. Unfortunately I don't know to much about it but I did
find a URL that voices the same thing:

(one-half indigenous Venezuelan, one-half French descent), Research
Assistant Professor and Director of Diversity Affairs, at the
University of Utah College of Pharmacy, describes the Spanish colonial
ranches as a place where indigenous people were enslaved:

People underwent forced labor conditions on colonial ranches. Stripped
of their human identity and sovereignty, community-wide designations of
patriarchal surnames were applied based on the last name of the ruling
Spanish ranch lord.

I just ran across this individual record in the LDS VRI-Mexico database... the
fact that the wife has the same last name as the husband is not particularly
interesting.... what is more interesting is that the wife's parents both have in
effect the same name.
I remember reading somewhere that when indigenous people married into or
were hired into a family they were "assigned" the name of the family they were
associated with for lack of a better alternative. Does anyone know anything
more concrete on this that can shed any light?
