Hola Carrillo researchers:

My great-grandmother was Francisca Carrillo who was
born in Hujecar in 1843.  She married Casmiro Muro in
1863 (Santa Maria).  Francisca had 15 children that we
know of and we know that 4 came to the US.  I know
very little about the Carrillo's going forward,
however I have traced 3 generations back;  Francisca's
father was Pedro Nolasco Carrillo born 1812 in
Colotlan; m. to Tranquilana Sanchez; Pedro's father
was Felipe Carrillo m. to Mariana de Casas; Felipe
Carrillo's father was Andres Carrillo m. to Maria
Estefana Martinez.  So this puts me in the late 1770's
with the Carrillo's.

My Francisca did make it to the states, my grandfather
Casmiro died in 1911; I find Francisca in the 1930
census in CA living in LA county with her son Juan.
She lived

Hola, Carol. Thanks for the reply. My search continues./Adelante-Raul Felix

Well, I am not Alicia, but I thought I would answer your question.  
If you go to http://www.expedia.com/.  Select the Maps tab from the 
top area.  Then select the 'Find a Map' link.  Then Select 
the 'Search for a place [North America]'. Type in Jerez, Zacatecas, 
Mexico for the place name and then click on the 'Find a Map' button.  
A map of Jerez [Jerez de García Salinas], Zacatecas, Mexico should 
come up.  Using the menus you can make it bigger and zoom in or out.  
I have only driven through Jerez on my way to Colotlan, Jalisco so I 
don't know that much about it.

There is two website you can check out, that have pictures and 
information.  They are at:

Good luck on your search,
Angie

Just one more tidbit on the Nopales recipes.  Yes the nopal salad with queso fresco sounds really good, although in our family we never make it that way.  We'll have to try them that way.  By the way try to use the youngest and most tender PENCAS.  A "penca" is what you call an individual stem/leaf/pad.  See illustration.  That's the top one.  The old pencas are too tough, stringy, and inedible.  A nopal refers to the entire living organism.

 

Surprisingly, nopales are very versatile.  One way is the way every one has suggested.  Cleaning the pencas (dethorning them), chopping into cubes, and boiling with onions and cilantro.  Once their done, you drain the water and can be

I love it. Just get us Mexicans to talk about our foods and culture and
