Dear Friends and Primos:

With so much talk about the importance of the Hispanic/Latino vote in the upcoming election, our presence still seems to be somewhat invisible, historically and currently.

There are several articles on that subject under United States. Also, on the subject of invisibility, don't miss, the two articles, El
Vaquero: Missing in US History written by Joe Lopez.

The heritage project, The Spanish Presence in Americas Roots, SPAR is moving forward. I am serving as CEO, Co-chaired by Judge Edward Butler.
We will soon have a website in place. We are trying to prove the historic presence of our antepasados in the history of the United States and the Americas.

Have you had your DNA done? Do you have indigenous markers? SPAR would love to hear from you. My maternal mitochondrial DNA is indigenous, plus I also have indigenous lines on my paternal side. SPAR would like to prove that we with southwestern Mexican heritage are living proof that the early history and foundation of the United States was formed primarily by families of mixed southern Europeans and indigenous heritage.

SPAR welcomes interest, support, and involvement of any nature, a paragraph, a sentence, or a family story which emphasizes the fact of your mixed heritage would be very welcomed. If you have questions, comments, please email or call me: Thank you for caring that our story be told.

Warmly, Mimi Lozano
