Request for information or some reference about Cesar Quirarte
Dear friends at Nuestros Ranchos.
BACKGROUND:
My name is Salvador Quirarte. My father was Cesar Quirarte Ruiz, born in
Nochistlan, Zacatecas in 1901. His parents were Hermenegildo Quirarte and
Gumara Ruiz. My father and his two sisters Maria and Clotilde Evelia
Quirarte Ruiz left Nochistlan some time in the early 20's to migrate first
to Aguascalientes and later to Mexico City.
His sister Clotilde Evelia was the first women born in the state of
Zacatecas to graduate and receive a Masters degree and a PHD degree. That
has been recognized by the State Congress of Zacatecas.
My father became a classical violinist. Initially he joined the Orquesta
Tipica de Lerdo de Tejada, that for several years traveled all around the US
playing mexican clasical and romantic music. Afterwards he was for many
years the first violin of the National Symphonic Orchestra of Mexico, and
later was director of the Simphonic Orchestra of Veracruz and the
Conservatory in Queretaro and died in the 80's in Mexico City. He never went
back to stay in Nochistlan.
QUESTION: Looking at the Web site of the Department of Public Education of
the state of Zacatecas I discovered that the basic elementary public school
of the small town of Rancho Aculco has the name of Escuela Cesar Quirarte
Ruiz.
I never has been in Rancho Aculco, but looking at the maps I see it is not
so far from Nochistlan.
I was in Nochistlan once when I was a kid and do not know any relative
there, neither from the Quirarte or from the Ruiz side.
Now I live in the USA and do not have any contact with other members of my
family other than my brother.
Trying to find out if the school was named to honor my father I got the
phone of the local Presidencia Municipal at Rancho Aculco and called asking
to have the phone and name of the Head of that little school to provide them
with my phone and e/mail address to start a contact.
The secretary of the City Hall told me the school has not phone or
e-mail but she will comment to the teachers about my call so they can call
or e/mail back to me .I never received any news from them.
So QUESTION is: Did any of you has local contacts in Rancho Aculco that I
can call or e-mail to ask if the name Cesar Quirarte Ruiz was asigned
because of my father, and why/when that happens and also if that is not the
case, want to know if there was another Cesar Quirarte Ruiz in the area in
addition to my father?
Thanks in advance for the kind help that any of you can provide me on this
family mistery I just discover and want to solve !
Saludos
Salvador Quirarte
