My maternal grandmother was named Ramona Sigala Padilla (b. 1913, Jalos) who was married to Francisco Martin Reynoso in Jalos. Ramona was the daughter of Jose Sigala Martin (born abt. 1889, Jalos) and Gonzala Padilla. Jose Sigala was the son of Jose Apolinar Sigala (b. 1858, Jalos) and Juana Martin. Apolinar was the son of Macimo (Maximo) Sigala Gomez (born abt 1832) and Susana Gutierrez. Maximo was the son of Silverio Sigala and Victoria Gomez.

I can't find where and when Maximo and Silverio were borned?

Antonio:

Some comments and answers to your questions:

The archealogical site at La Quemada is a late Classical site and has many aspects which point to it being part of the greater Toltec civilization. Thus at one point, highly civilized Mesoamerica went as far north as Zacatecas.

There is no ethnic group called Chichimeca, rather it was a term used by the Mexica (Aztecs) to generally describe the bellicose and nomadic tribes north of their Empire. The Spanish adopted the term because, as they were warned, these people were very difficult to placate. There was a 40 year war in Zacatecas, San Luis Potosi against alliances of the Chichimeca (Zacatecas, Guachichiles, etc.) before the Spanish crown decided to "buy" the peace.

Miguel Caldera never "arrived" to the area and never sailed on a ship from Spain. He was born in what later became the city of Zacatecas to a Spanish father (Pedro Caldera) and a Guachichil woman (Maria). He had a sister named Maria Cid that has lots of

If you descend from the mendoza family you descend from a moor. Why do you think the greatest administrator in keeping the peace between catholics was from your ancestors. I believe he is in your line but I would have to check your tree to know if was so. One of the reasons was because his grandmother was a moor and he could relate to both cultures.

"Yes, the Casillas family descendant from Martin Casillas relative of Viceroy Mendoza is

With all due respect,this is a ridiculous statement. If you are talking about a group of families that is one thing, but to say that the majority of the inhabitants of Los Altos are "Celtic" is laughable.

First of all, the lable "Celtic" applies too a broad group of Ancient Peoples of who the only truly "Celtic" peoples were the Gauls of France and inhabitants of what is now Centeral Europe, these groups gave rise to the Hallstadt and La Tene Celtic "culture" that spread through out Europe. The R1b marker is called the "Atlantic Model haplotype" meaning it is most common in the Atlantic seaboard,from Spain and the British Isles, but also North Africa. There is a very recent DNA study conducted for the Discovery channel special on King Tut and the preliminary results look like Tut may also be R1b, this means that the R1b

My husband, who is descended from Altenos (the Albas, Cervantes, Ruis de Esparza, Rubalcabas, etc.) has no illusions about his ancestry either in Mexico or going back to Spain.

He just showed me this paragraph from one of his books about the admixture of cultures in Spain over the centuries: "Christian families with more pedigree than cash, or with a prudent respect for ability, accepted them [Jews] in marriage.. In this way the Spanish people, especially the upper classes, received a substantial infusion of Jewish blood. Ferdinand the Catholic and Torquemada the Inquisitor had Jews in their ancestry. Pope Paul IV, at war with Phillip II, called him and the Spanish the "worthless seed of the Jews and Moors".

I know that the rest of Europe looked askance at Spaniards and Portuguese as not being Europeans. Wasn't there a dust-up about allowing them into the EU?

So, it seems to me that the Spaniards are as mongrel a race as mestizos are now considered, and they

According to National Geographic and Spencer Wells from the Genographic

lived about 60,000 to 70,000 years ago. This person, or "Scientific Adam" as

Heres a new thing not only in Los Altos are Spanish descendants, last time I checkedthere are also Germans, French, Russians, English, Americans, Portuguese, Italiansand all sorts of other people. They probably mixed with the "alteno aristocracy there"We have to take account all the people that since the indpendence settled in Los Altosbesides the Spanish. Not saying they are in the millions but there are sure other nonSpanish surnames in Los Altos I have heard and seen.

Hi Alicia,

Our sample is also R1b1b2 and M269, it is from the Navarro family which may have lived in Ocotlán Jalisco in the early 1800's but we sitll have no official paperwork to prove it. We got a 34/37 DNA match with a Macías family form Aguascalientes.

If you got tested with famiytreedna.com, you can easily post your results online and search for matches at:
ysearch.org and at http://garyfelix.tripod.com/index63.htm

You can also upload your results manually at ysearch.org and ancestry.com . I have mine in all these websites.

"Here it is, it's R1b1b2, marker M269..
Anyone in Nuestros Ranchos with these markers??

Alicia"

Alicia,

I have the same markers as above. Unfortunately, they are very common markers in Europe and have not helped me much in my Serros genealogy quest. My extended family is from the Northern Jalisco/Southern Zacatecas area, an area they left in ~1916. Sadly for the purpose of genealogy, the Serros/Cerros line appears to be an illegitimate line so I can only go back so far in this particular line.

I agree that the markers suggest a Basque lineage; I did not say prove a Basque lineage. Clearly, as I search the 1600 and 1700 records of Mezquitic, Jalisco and Valparaiso, Zacatecas, I find surnames that are Basque in origin. My reading sources state that the Basques (and Germans) were brought over for their knowledge in mining. One of the largest silver mines in our area was of course Bolaños. In the mid and late 1700's the mines of this town made many locals and investors very wealthy

Hi Alicia,

My brother's son's 67 marker YDNA test results placed him in - Confirmed Haplogroup: R1b1b2 - Shorthand: R-M269.

We're also waiting on my maternal grandfather's grand nephew's 67 maker YDNA test results. We have his 37 marker results that also place him in the R1b1b2 haplogroup with an exact marker match to my nephew. I'm looking forward to seeing if their 67 markers match exactly...Based on all that I have read, I think they will.

Our family has an unique situation, stemming from a male direct line common ancestor's male offspring that descend directly to my paternal (my father) and maternal (my maternal grandfather) ancestry.

My paper trail focuses primary on the Island of Madeira, Portugal, but also extends to Mainland Portugal, Spain, Scotland and England.

Alicia,

Another family member of the YDNA direct line common ancestor didn't match the other two that did. I'm working on trying to figure out what may have happened, since my paper trail appears to be accurate. We may never be able to figure it out...

I'm being told that it's possible that what appears on paper as a biological father, may not be...

I wasn't prepared for this happening, guess that's what makes genealogy so interesting...

With shared lines as you noted, it does make extending the lines easier when common ancestors appear. Does your paper trail link your husband and your brother with a common male ancestry? Is your husband's mtDNA being tested also?

Tino's mtDNA lines are from Nochistlan, and tested out on HVR1 and HVR2 in Haplogroup A, with 6 mutations in the 1st Segment and 10 mutations in the 2nd Segment.

Tino's paternal line, as far as I can tell we from Momax, Zacatecas area, but appear to have moved around... I'm still working on it.

I had my MtDNA analyzed and it came back as "A2" Native American. My mother
was Cerros Gonzalez, from Jerez, Zacatecas. I found two other matches for
her MtDNA and both are from Michoacan, oddly enough, they are "Gonzalez
Mendoza" wich are considered Spanish . Somewhere along the line they must
have had a Mexican Native American in their ancestry.

Comment

Claudia, when we add the DNA factor and get match's from other countries it is startling.  My mothers paternal line, Gutierrez, that I can document back to 1650 or so in Michoacan before moving to Jalisco in 1760 came back haplogroup N. I have 12 perfect matchs.. all from Finland.  The odd part to me is that the subgroup N3 is found only in Sevilla, Spain and is thought to have been brought there by the party accompanying Moctezumas/Cortes children/grandchildren who were sent back to Spain to be educated.  So, does that make part of the Aztec line from Finland originally?  It is fun to speculate but sometimes a bit of knowledge can really muddy the waters but it is a part of who we are today.

Your example is an example of a grave misunderstanding of Y-DNA and mtDNA.

I'm always ready to learn, can you explain my error?  This was the Haplo Group N for my Mothers brother Luis Gutierrez through  the familytree site and I also submitted it to the Gary Felix site.  My MTDNA was haplogroup A, Native American.

Hello Linda and Angelina,

I am not an expert, but there are basics to this we should all understand.
The error was in assuming that because a certain population has a higher
proportion of a marker they must have come from the larger population. A
small population in one area and a large population in another area can
exist for many reasons. The Sevilla connection, most likely, goes back much
further in time, to Sibera. I did a search and I found a post by Gary Felix
that said the following -

At another website I also found this -

"The most frequent subclade N3, arose probably in the region of present day
China, and subsequently experienced serial bottlenecks in Siberia and
secondary expansions in

thank you Armando.. you are thorough, I appreciate that.

I only had a 12 marker done since none of the matchs were more than 12 marker.  If someone else matches and have done a 24 marker then I will have it done.  My families love the info but don't want to pay for tests so they come from my pocket.  There are still a couple of MTDNA I would like to have done but it will have to wait.

thank you again, Linda

Armando,

I confess that when my husband starts to talk about DNA I fade out. However,
I see that it is becoming a useful tool in genealogy so I'd like to get a
handle on it.
Correct me if I'm wrong. If I'm understanding correctly Y-DNA can only be
handed down from father to son. So, the assumption that Claudia made about
Aztecs having come from Finland cannot be supported by DNA since the
Moctezuma lineage she is referring to were the children of Moctezuma's
Daughter and Cortez. It would have been Cortez's Y-DNA that was passed down
through the generations since women don't carry the Y-chromosome.

Is the 12 marker test enough to really help with genealogy or should we be
looking at the more extensive testing? I'd ask my husband but ..... then
he'd realize I haven't really been listening ;)

-Angelina-

Comment

Angelina, it was not the children of Cortes/Moxtezuma  but the people who went with them.  This is what I was told by Gary Felix.. again, not Cortez/Moctezuma but their retinue..

Linda not Claudia

Hola daniel, se que mi comentario no tiene nada que ver con lo que escribiste anteriormente pero necesito preguntarte algo, hace poco comentaste en el "Parte de mi familia los Casillas", que tenias la sospecha de que Juana de ornelas fuera hija de Geronimo de Ornellas y Hurtado de Mendoza y su esposa Maria Rubio. yo encontre una Juana de Ornelas Perez nacida en teocaltiche en 1676 hija de Jose de Ornelas y Angelina Perez,tambien encontre a la Juana que mencionas , mi pregunta es: ya que has investigado algo de esta linea, me podrias dar una pista de donde buscar algo referente a esta familia ya que, mi amigo Ruben Casillas me consiguio el acta de matrimonio de Francisco Casillas con Dorotea Ephigenia hijo de Juana de Ornelas y padre desconocidos, y despues de ahi ya no he podido avanzar.No se si cuentes con esta acta o quieras que te la envie.Saludos y Gracias

Creo que no puede tratarse del nuevo tomo I, mas bien debe ser el de 1982, reimpreso, como menciona Bill.

Trascribo a continuacion un e-mail recibido el 25 de septiembre de 2009 de don Mariano Gonzalez Leal

"Estimado señor: Hoy entregué a prensa el original del último volumen, séptimo, de la obra. Está en prensa en la Secretaría de Cultura del Gobierno de Jalisco, quien distribuirá la edición cuando está concluida. Supongo no podrá ser antes del año próximo, porque son más de siete mil páginas distribuidas en 7 tomos.
Un afectuoso saludo,
Mariano González-Leal"

Y transcribo a continuacion un e-mail que recibi HOY del que creo es el mas cercano a Mariano Gonzalez-Leal de los miembros de nuestros ranchos, Ruben Casillas,

"Miguel, el tomo # 1 es el que me enseño Don Mariano, es mucho mas grande que el tomo uno original pero a Don mariano se lo entregaron para que diera el visto bueno para su impreción, el Gobierno del estado de Jalisco los pondrá a la venta, en este año saldrán

Bill Figueroa and Carlos.

I bought "Retoños..." 1985 edition, in Teocaltiche about a year and a
half ago. I don't remember the exact amount I paid for it but I do recall
that it was under $ 20 (U.S.)

$160 Mexican pesos sounds about right.

Saludos a todos.

Dear Josef,
I hope you won't be upset with me about this but I want to quit my
position. Can you find someone else? I'm going to try to do other
things and want to be unencumbered by any responsibility. I hope I
didn't offend you when I teased you about being a bad mailman...I
surely didn't mean to but I noticed that you didn't respond and
haven't responded since the day you asked for my address to send me
the lovely mint tea. I did send a nice e-card in thanks to you and
Figan. Let me know. Memarge:)

Nope, it was to Josef Puentes but I inadvertently sent it to the

How about telephoning/e-mailing San Diego County for her own birth certificate/

It's a start in the right direction.

When there is a legal adoption where all rights are surrendered, there is a
new birth certificate issued with the adoptive parents names. The original
birth information is then sealed

and can only be revealed by mutual consent or court order. Without mutual
consent, you'll need a Superior Court hearing in the court holding the
adoption records. Even if you cite medical

reasons for knowing , you may only get age, race, and other non identifying
information.

I've worked on several birth parents searches in the past and am currently
working on three.

Hi Joseph,

We may start developing a search-method outline of sorts by using the person you mention as representative case, and listing/tracking the process used in that case.

I have had some successes in this type of circumstances and, coincidentally, also live in San Diego.

Therefore. Instead of starting with a blind telephonic game of roulete, if you can provide all known information about the interested adoptee (her birth name, date of birth, any aditional known information about birth parents (and siblings?), date and place of adoption, names of adoptive parents, and anything else that may be known, --- and I'll be glad to see what I can do and, with the permission of the adoptee, keep you informed.

Saludos,

Joseph,

My younger sister, who was adopted out did just what you advised. She
called all the "Luna's" at a certain city, and identified herself as the
adopted out daughter of my mother.

As it so happened, I was visiting an uncle and my uncle said, "yes, that's
my sister" - we all knew about her, but didn't know her whereabouts. I got
to talk to her, and to make a long story short, today, we enjoy a wonderful
sibling relationship.

Now here's the interesting part. It turns out that her own adopted father
was her natural father. Apparently my mom was willing to take this secret
to her grave. Her adopted parents had children later, after she was
adopted, and my sister was able to confirm she was indeed their half sibling via
DNA. My sister was the apple of her father's eye....it all made sense to
her.

Isn't truth better than fiction?

Comment

Joseph,

The California birth indexes at Vitalsearch are sometimes helpful.

http://www.vitalsearch-ca.com/

Zabasearch is a good tool for finding living people

http://www.zabasearch.com/

The best place to start is to fill out a mutual consent form with the
California Social Services Dept. If the birth mother is also looking they
will match you.

Here is page link with the official information

http://www.dss.cahwnet.gov/cfsweb/PG1314.htm

I know this can work because we have been re-united with a sister that my
mother gave up to adoption then found 50 years later.
