Irma--

 

No, I don't have the surname Romo in my lines.  It is my husband's ancestors, the Garcias, who are light skinned, tall, light haired, and hazel-eyed or blue eyed Tapatios from Jalisco.  The photo of the saint in the article for which I sent a link bears a striking resemblance to my husband, his father, and his great-grandmother, Marciana Cervantes.  I have traced some of the Garcias who married into the Calzada family that were from Rincon de Romos.  My husband's gggg-grandfather

Irma,
The Cathedral in down town Sacramento has just been refurbished and
from what I understand some of Toribio Romo's ancestor's requested
some relics from Guadalajara.

This is what my sister and aunt told me at Thanksgiving.  I guess
there are a lot of Romo's here in Sacramento and they requested that
one of his bones be sent from Guadalajara to  the Cathedral.  I guess
they were supposed to have a mass for Santo Toribio Romo this past
Sunday at the Cathedral and display some old relics.

Nena

Alicia,

I looked in Garcia Cubas' "Diccionario..." and found three ranchos named los Cuervos.  1. Rancho en la municipalidad de Huejúcar octavo cantón (Colotlán) estado de Jalisco.  2.  Rancho de municipalidad de Tepetongo, partido Jerez, estado de Jalisco.  3.  Rancho de municipalidad de Mátape, Distrito de Ures, Sonora.  Hope this helps.

PS: Do you by any chance know a Bernie Olmos or his wife, Esther?  She still works in public schools in ESUHSD and he went out of SJ to continue as an administrator?  Just curious.

Subject: [ranchos] Los Cuervos?

Does anyone know where Los Cuervos might be located or might have been located back in the early 1800's? I have a tia who is 83 years old and she was in San Jose this Thanksgiving weekend and mentioned that she had heard that my GGGrandfather Prudencio Olmos had split from the Olmos family back in

Don't assume anything.

Approximately, 14 years ago when I started my
genealogy research, I got a long list of all those
with the last name of Duarte from our local LDS
library, that dated back to 1496, from the state of
Zacatecas.  I assumed that I was not related to those
Duartes that were not from Jerez (that's where my
grandfather was born).  After about 10 years of
researching, I proved myself wrong, dead wrong---I
found out that I was related to over half of the early
Duartes from Zacatecas, and many of them were from
various different towns and ranches, other than Jerez!


This was not the first time that I assumed the I was
not related to an individual with the same last name
(Prieto), but later again, I proved myself wrong.
