Primo,

My great great grandfather Jose Manuel Cervantes
married Juana Maria Gonzales in 1835 in Zocoalco de
Torres.  The marriage record shows the parents of Jose
Manuel Cervantes as Rafael Cervantes and Marcelina
Diaz.  I should have looked at the marriage closer and
see what village they were from.  I also have a Seja
line in Zacoalco de Torres.  Have you come across any
Sejas in your genealogy?  By the way I am also in my
20's.  I am three years older then you.  I thought I
was the youngest guy, I guess you beat me.  Well I
will consider you a primo.  The municipio of Zacoalco
de Torres can't be that big.  I bet we are related for
sure.

Un Abrazo,
Angel

Introducing Myself

Hello Everybody,

My name is Alice Wissing and I'm introducing
myself to the group. 
Before I say anything else, I want to tell
Steve Apodaca, another
newcomer, how fortunate he is to be in his early
20's and
researching his family.  I wish I had started at such a
young age,
as it has been

Joseph, thank you so much for all the information



              ~~glo~~

Hello Again,

I apologize that one of the links I gave in my previous posting 
didn't work.  Hopefully, this one will.

Hello,

I discovered an interesting site with an extensive list of 
definitions of racial classifications used by the Spanish.  In 
addition to the definitions, there are beautiful paintings of mixed 
race adults and children.  I'm not one to get emotional over 
paintings, but these really moved me, particularly after discovering 
the extent of my diversity.

ications+photos&hl=en&start=1&ie=UTF-8

For those of you who have discovered mulato or coyote roots, don't 
miss this "Castas" exhibit:

And Joe, that was a clever little response to my introduction.  I'm 
going to propose that the members call you "Dr. Puentes" from now 
on. 

Alice
