Rich and Kitty,

 

While I have been able to find some information (with the help of others)
on Herrera family tree line, I have been rather limited in finding out the Luna
line from Tlaltenango.  Will you visit my information and see if there are
any connections?

Yndio Genizaro

Hi Joseph,

Thanks for the envy.  The frustrating thing for me is that the record which identifies my ancestor as <un Yndio Piro> does not allow me to search much further.  As you know indigenous people needed permission from a european to legally use a surname.  I found this information in film #1156614, Bautismos de Senecú in the Juarez Cathedral Archives.  I quickly looked into my copies of the microfilms and found two individuals, 4 Oct. 1793 and 11 Nov. 1793, described in the body of the text as <todos Piros> and <todos Yndios Piros> respectively.  Also there's another entry describing a family as <indios de la Ysleta>.  Senecú was a very diverse pueblo.  Most of the entries in this film simply use the word <Yndio> but there are other designations including <Espl.>.  I may buy the whole film some day.  It seems that dozens of people in Senecú are related to my ancestors.  The same film also includes entries from the mission at San Lorenzo del Real.  Both communities were about 9 kilometers from the mission Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe del Passo del Rio del Norte.  I started to look in Senecú out of curiosity.  Some of my ancestors moved from the villa at Passo del Norte to Senecú.  Maybe you might try the same.  It took me 18 years of looking to find them (Alexo family).  I haven't had the time to do any extractions for the past 8 years.  June 30 is my last day of work.  I plan to use my retirement to return to my research.  Happy hunting don José.

David

Racial Classifications

Hello and Welcome Jose,

I know exactly how you feel.  I too was born and
raised in the US and have found that while I am here
in the US many people ask me where I am from and I say
I am from the US.  They do not accept that response,
when I say that I am Mexican they say, "OH, Yes. I see
it in you."
Now when I am in Mexico I am confronted with the same
from Mexican citizens.  They ask me where I am from
and do not accept my response that I am from
Zacatecas.  They tell me that I speak with an accent
and that I am not from Mexico.  I tell them that I was
born in the US and they say, "Si, claro, eres
Chicana."
I guess I can say like La India Maria, NO soy ni de
aqui ni de alla. Then i like to quote Selena
Quintanilla's father, Abraham, when he told her that
"When we are in the US we (Mexican-Americans) have to
be more American than the Americans to be accepted and
when we are in Mexico, we need to be more Mexican than
the Mexicans."

I don't know where I was going with that.
I do want to ask you, however, about your ancestors
from Villa De Cos.  May I ask whom they were and how
far away they lived from Hacienda El Mezquite,
Zacatecas.  I have ancestors that lived (and possibly
worked) in this Hacienda.

I know that Villa de Cos is very close to SLP.
Hacienda El Mezquite is in between Fresnillo and Villa
de Cos.

Raisin Tamales. . .I thought my mom was the only one that made these.

Boy could I eat a dozen by myself right now (but not all Raisin). I
guess I'd have to say that Pork with lots of "gordo" on the meat are my

and warmed up [well I guess I could]. I have to have mine fresh cooked.
Boy are they good.

I'd say that Tamales are my favorite food, then again I think I'd rather
have a big bowl of Menudo with lots of chopped onion, some oregano,
cilantro, and lemon juice and a tall pile of flour
tortillas (fresh made).

Can the next person flying to North Carolina bring me some tamales?

Spanish Blood



cite="">
He made me feel so guilty about my Spanish blood, what there is
of it.

When a child is born as a result of rape and the woman's family treats
the child as an outsider and poorly that is absolutely cruel. If anyone
needs to feel badly and ashamed it should be the rapist not the victims
or the children of the victims or the grandchildren of the victims or
the great grandchildren of the victims, etc..



The Yndio and The Black blood in me is mixed with my Spanish blood. Yes
the Spanish did terrible horrible unspeakable things to my people but
now my people are, "Los Yndios, Los Negros, Los Espanoles." I can't
survive if I hate part of myself. We have to realize that we are one
people and are strong and intelligent and proud and everything and as
much as any other peoples on this earth. No difference.



I love it when I find that certain of my lines continue to indicate
that they were Espanoles. Not because I'm more proud of the Espanol in
me that I am of the Yndio or Black, but only because I so much love my
genealogy and finding the next generation and the fact that they are
Espanoles gives me hope that a generation or two more might have
records available whereas if they were Yndios the trail will fade most
likely.



If I could prove that I was 100% Espanol maybe I'd feel different, I
don't think so because we need to do whatever we can to put ourselves
at peace with ourselves. I think its enough to realize our relatives
did bad things but I don't think its reasonable for us to suffer for
their iniquities. They sinned, They will stand before God, I will stand
proud of what I am!



If it were me and that Inca said that to me I would have
said as proudly as I could that my Aztecs could have pounded his Incas
to a pulp. . .he dicho!

sharing information



Joseph, thank you for making me aware of Ellen Simms article.  I'm working on records from Tonila Jalisco and found that the Indio's and Mulato's live in Barrios around the town of Tonila but the only "natives" that seem to live in town belong to Espanol's. Her article explains all the barrios. The Tonila records are from the 1700's.  Being able to read articles like Miss  Simms and then doing the records really puts a face of the lives our ancestors lived.. There is a division between the haves and have-nots in the Espanol world too, not all were hacienda owners and slave owners, many were just plain working people trying to get by and survive.

 

Thank you again for printing Ellen Simms article.

Yes, at first I thought "tarayata" was an Indian tribe because it does sound like "taraumara".

Irma, yes, well said.  Oh, I forgot to say that my Spanish friend did allude to the fact that when the Moors and Jews were kicked out of Spain, Spain went to pot.  When I asked her how so, she said the Jews and Arabs were advanced civilizations who founded the universities in Spain, etc.  And a funny thing happened to her (well, she and I thought it funny at the time):  we went into a gift shop up here in Bremerton WA once to window shop their Peruvian things, and it was run by an obvious descendant of the Incas.  When he heard my friend's fancy Castilian accent, he really lit into her!  He started off with "Oh, so you are Espanola.  Do you know what your people did to mine?"  He proceeded to tell her off royally, listing all the injuries the conquistadores had heaped on his people.  She just said simply, "Well, I personally did not do those things", but he kept on and not only suggested that an apology from her people was in order, but that they should make restitution.  I guess he thinks the Spaniards should send back all that gold, ha, ha.  She did not apologize for her people, did not buy a thing (she wasn't about to give him any of her gold), whereas I (I have a black belt in shopping) dropped almost $100.00 in there. He made me feel so guilty about my Spanish blood, what there is of it.

Dear Joseph:

Saludos. Although you will have many people of color (Arabs, Blacks
(yes, believe it or not), Hispanics, Asians, Indians, and
Aborigines) admit their mixed racial background (identifying with 
anyone or cominbation of Indian, Semite, Oriental, and White groups),
not too many embrace, let alone acknowledge their Black heritage. Good
for you and your group.

I would be honored if you post the article I wrote entitled
"Miscegenation and Racism" on your website as long as you give me full
copyright and authorship credits of it.

Buenas Suerte,

&quot;tarayata&quot;

Joseph,
 
NO, my mother was not from South America.  She was a "manita" from New Mexico, part of the 500-year-old gene pool from Juarez-New Mexico.  (That is why I joined your Ciudad-Juarez group). They are a breed all their own, since they were isolated in the northern reaches of the Spanish Mexican empire. They spoke Spanish with their own 16th century dialect, etc, until my mother's generation, and besides having Piro-Manso-Tewa blood, they were thought to be Sephardic Jews in hiding.
 
All I can think of is that being of Basque descendancy from Zacatecas, my father's people may have used an old Basque word that was taken to South America by other Basque immigrants to other parts of the New World.  I will post messages to both the Peruvian website and the  Spanish Basque website and ask about the word "tarayata".  One strange thing---I have recently begun to get unsolicitated e-mails from the Basque Separatists in Spain.  I think they have trolled the internet and contacted everyone who has posted messages to boards for surnames they know are Basque.  They have a very strange language.  They intersperse their language with Spanish, as if I knew what it meant.  Go figure.

cool!!! Maybe Emilie's mom was South American. Emilie why not join the Peruvian or Bolivian Rootsweb email groups or just post a message on their message boards and ask what Tarayata means. You never know.

Good information.

If you have ever read a list of the first settlers
that the Spanish sent, you'll see a cross section of
many Europeans, north Africans, and some Asians
(mostly Filipinos), that evenly mixed together and
with the local inhabitants (Indians).

We are a composite of many peoples.

I don't know if you've heard this one, which I learned thru a 
friend.  Paraphrasing Forrest Gump's memorable quote: "life is like a 
box of chocolates...", our new quote is "Mexican genealogy is like a 
big bowl of tamales, you never know what you're gonna get".  You may 
pull out a pork tamale, or beef, or cheese, beans, coconut, sugar and 
raisins.....

that. Just by virtue of the fact that we have or are descendants from 
Mexico a land that was invaded by Europeans less than 5 centuries 
ago. A land that was populated by many proud Indian tribes with such 
rich cultures, languages and history. A land that because of it's 
riches was invaded, pilfered, raided, raped, converted and yes even 
conquered. A country that experienced slavery and servitude. An 
Indian nation that fought to keep it's lands, languages, customs and 
religions but was ultimately defeated through disease, wars and 
greed. How can we not believe that we might be Spanish, Indian, 
mestizo, African, Jewish, Sephardic, Moor, Irish, French and who 
knows what else we may find.

off all those that came before us whether it's what we expected or

Keep Talking/Fade

My two cents:
 
I am heartened to hear the perspectives of those that have
different experiences than I did, and I am glad to continue my learning
of our raza from their pain and various
"readiness/awareness" stage.  While I am not the moderator, I would
hope that this venue continues to provide a safe environment for
sharing personal history.

Hey as far as I'm concerned I'm just a group member. the only rule is
to keep the discussion civil. If the discussion even vaguely can be
related to our roots, our heritage, our genealogy, or "us" in general I
say bring it on. there are options: Digest and Delete. So just keep
talking. . .i guess that is why i started the group to begin with.



Also another thing is that I'm in a Fade Mode where I'm devoteing a
major part of my time to "life" instead of my real life "genealogy." So
if it becomes apparent that I'm less and less visible. . .well that's
why. Some of you good folks send me a private email if you notice that
the discussion turns "nasty" and let me know to "pay a little better
attention pendejo."



con cariño,

Racial Classifications

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,
CASTANEDA: Tlaltenango, Tepechitlan, Teul, Florencia,
La Estancia, Cerro de Pantano

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