Jalpa, Zacatecas - Arechiga and Chavez


By Mercedes Chavez - Posted on 29 March 2007

I just returned from Jalpa, Zacatecas. As someone mentioned and I already
knew Jalpa records are skimpy....very skimpy. What I found out and yet to
verify. The Arechigas arrived in Jalpa at approx 1820, it was 7 brothers and one
sister from Spain. The Chavez arrived to Jalpa in approx 1880 from Ixtlan
Jalisco, there were two or three cousins Vicente Chavez Sanchez, Daniel Chavez
married to Emiteria Sanchez, a third possible cousin was Refugio Chavez.

I also got a book recently a professor on the story of Jalpa, if anyone is
interested, I can give title and email address to the professor at La Casa de la
Cultura.

Juanita, I live in Los Angeles and Dr. Maloney is here is Santa Monica, hope
your eye surgery went well.
