introduction - de la Torre-Berumen Uribarren

Hi everybody! Hola!
First, let me say that I'm excited to be part of this community, and am
grateful that it exists. I look forward to collaborating and sharing my
research with other members here.

My name is Jose Luis de la Torre, Jr., and I'm interested in researching the
de la Torre family in particular, as well as my other ancestors. I don't
have many details yet as I'm just starting on my research, but I'll share
what I know so far about my family's roots on the de la Torre side.

>From what I know, my great-great grandfather was Francisco de la Torre, who
married Martina Velasco. They lived in Guadalupe, Zacatecas. I don't know
anything else about Francisco and his family, so I'm hoping to uncover more
in my research, and find out about his other descendants.

My great grandfather was Ygnacio de la Torre Berumen from Guadalupe,
Zacatecas, who married Maria Uribarren Velasco from Guanajuato, in 1899 in
Guadalupe, Zacatecas. Shortly after their wedding, they moved to hacienda
Canada Honda close to Aguasclientes. They lived in Aguascalientes between
1905 and 1922, then moved to San Luis Potosi. Sometime in the late 1920s,
Ygnacio moved his family to Nogales.

Of his children, three became Catholic priests. Francisco and Carlos de la
Torre became Jesuits, and I believe they spent most of their ministry in
Torreon, Coahuila. Ignacio de la Torre became a diocesan priest and served
in Nogales, Sonora most of his life. My grandfather was Luis de la Torre,
who married Carmen Mercedes Ruiz de Chavez y Alvarez Tostado. Of my
grandmother's family I know nothing, but that will be a future area of
research.

Over thanksgiving I managed to find a copy of _Filigranas, Fundaciones y
Genealogias, Tepetongo, Zacs._ by Jose Leon Robles de la Torre, and scanned
most of it. I've posted the de la Torre family tree from his book at:
http://www.nuestrosranchos.com/en/node/18246. While it has a lot of
valuable information, unfortunately I can't place my great-great
grandfather, or great-grandfather, on the tree. I hope it will be useful to
others. Hopefully one day I can find the connection from my family tree to
Jose Robles's. It would seem that the de la Torres from Tepetongo, ZAC
would be related to the ones from Guadalupe, ZAC, but I guess one may have
to go farther up on the trees to see the connections.

Yours truly,
Jose Luis
