Sabina Jaime and Narciso Mora

Sheri,Somos primos! Please contact me at dexaime@excite.com. I have the JAIME lineage going back to the 1600s and Donacia PEDROZA ROMO'S pedigree (2 generations). I also have the descendants of Lasaro MORA which eventually run into our lineage. However, I couldn't find a Tomas MORA.Luis-----Original Message-----From: "Sherri Mora" [kanakalele@aol.com]Date: 03/10/2009 02:42 AMTo: research@lists.nuestrosranchos.comSubject: Re: [Nuestros Ranchos] Sabina Jaime and Narciso Mora Dear Victor: I joined this group one week ago hoping to find information regarding Sabina Jaime/Jayme. I started researching my family history just 2 months ago and have hit quite a roadblock with Sabina, my paternal great grandmother. My grandfather was Jesus Mora, brother to Maria de la Luz. I will share with you the information that I think is linked to her and some questions/theories to explain the difficulty we are having. First, I have found the same information in regards to her baptism, marriage,
immigration and death all inconsistent. Frustrating! -I have found birth years ranging from 1868 to 1878. From speaking with those familiar with the customs at the time and place, it would not be unusual to marry at 14, 15 or 16. I've wondered if it is possible that she changed her birth year when she came to the US since this was not the custom there. Somewhere in my notes I have her "from Santa Maria" of which there are many in that area of Aguascalientes. -I found that she had 1 sister, Norberta Jaime (1848). Both have Refugio Jaime and Donaciana Pedroza as parents. I would like to talk to someone familiar with the traditions and culture during that time. I know in the Jewish culture if one is near death they have a renaming ceremony to "trick" the angel of death. Perhaps there is something similar in Mexico and Sabina was raised by someone other than her parents after a tragedy (that maybe took their life?) and she was "rebaptized" and renamed? -In the 1970's wh
en my grandparents were still alive, my aunt did our family tree. So according to oral history she lists Sabina's parents as Lasaro Nunez and Teresa Lopez with a note "Raised by Refugio Jaime" The way it is written I'm not sure if Sabina or Lasaro was raised by Refugio. I asked people that were born in Mexico and they said that it would not be unusual for one to take the surname of the person who raised them. I will see the aunt who made this tree in about 2 weeks so I will ask her about this and any other questions we come up with. I have searched and searched for Sabina under Jaime/Jayme/Nunez/Lopez/Pedroza/Muniz/Munis/Munos and have come up empty. Also, one record attached to her lists her as Ma. Sabina Jaime which is not unusual. -Maybe one us can request and actually view the film that the marriage information comes from. I have found many typos while searching the familysearch.org site. When I view the actual film, I can see sometimes why a typo was made. P
erhaps "Muniz is Nunez?" -I have spent many hours pouring over films and in the church records from Mexico, Mora appears over and over. Tomas Mora married a Moran so I think that was not a change by border patrol. -My cousins mother told her stories about Sabina. She taught her mother about herbal medicine and natural healing. She recalls that it was mentioned that Sabina had a very dark complexion and perhaps was whole or part Indian. I think some churches had separate records for Indian baptisms. These are the things that have kept me intrigued. Maybe together we can put the pieces of her puzzle togehter. I am also interested in finding out when Narciso's family came from Spain. Half of my aunts and uncles were fair with light hair and light eyes, the other half were darker with dark hair and eyes. Family stories say this is because of Spanish in our line. Let's figure this out. Sherri Mora -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Nuestros Ranchos Research Mailing
