Hi Alicia,

My family is originally from el Remolino and
Guadalajarita, Zacatecas.  I have numerous relatives
in Contitlan and Moyahua, as well.  My paternal
grandmother was a Carrillo from her mother's side.  

Yes, it is true.....There is quite a bit of
intermarrying that has gone on, and continues to go
on.  That is the beauty of family genealogy, you can
actually see who married who and when.  That also
explains why many times you can tell what region of
mexico someone is from.  One good example - do you
know any Gonzalez?  Usually they are of light
complexion and have a distinguished looking nose.  AND
many times they are from Jalisco. 

I currently live near Fresno, CA.  I have lived here
my entire life.  I have a brother and sister that live
in San Jose and 2 brothers that live in Fremont.

What would be weird is if your family DIDN'T have cousins that married one
another. My Grandfather Julio was 3rd cousin to my Grandmother Virginia.
It looked for awhile there that they were 2nd cousins until I discovered
that in 1793 two twin boys were born and the parents (Vicente Diaz and Hipolita
Rivas) were so thrilled with them that they named both of them the same name,
Jose Tadeo Diaz. One of the Tadeo's when on to be the bisabuelo to my grandfather
and the other the bisabuelo to my grandmother.



yup Genealogy is sooo coool.

Hello Esther Valencia,

 

This is Alicia Carrillo and I have barely begun the search for my
family roots and history.

 

Where do you live now and is it the same place where you grew up.

 

All of my life I have heard of relatives who were cousins and married
to cousins. I always thought that our family was weird and that our family
was the only I'd ever heard of that had inter-married with

Hi, my name is Esther Valencia - maiden name REYNOSO.  I have been
researching my family genealogy for approximately 3 years now.  

My family originates in the area of Juchipila, Zacatecas.  I have had
a wonderful time searching for and discovering my ancestry.  I am
slowly discovering that many people I grew up with are actually
distant relatives.  I have learned so much about my origin and am very
excited about preserving this for my future grandchildren and
grandchildrens-children.  

I have submitted my genealogy to Joseph.  I am looking forward to
working with all of you!!
Sincerely,
     -Esther Valencia

Rosalinda,


		I have run across the Cordova last name. What time frame are you looking
at here? Let me know.

The question from Rosalinda made me smile: Am I my own 
cousin? 

Here in New Mexico we are!!  I am my 4th cousin, and 6th cousin 
once removed.  So my Mom is my cousin.
