Ancestry of the Padilla family from Los Altos de Jalisco

I posted three ancestral lines of the "Padilla" family of "Los Altos de Jalisco."

One line shows the paternal line starting with Mateos Davila.

A second line shows the descent from King Henry II of England and Queen of England Eleanore of Aquitane to Lorenzo Padilla.*

The third line that I posted shows close to one thousand years of the Padilla surname line. It is important to remember that this is not a straight male line as there is one female in the line, and her descendants continued the Padilla surname. The strictly male line is the line of descent from Mateos Davila.

You can find these three lines at http://www.nuestrosranchos.com/en/node/18002

I also included an interesting short biography of Hernando Padilla, the father of Lorenzo Padilla who was the co-founder of the Villa de Santa Maria de los Lagos in Nueva Galicia, in the area that today is known as Los Altos de Jalisco, Mexico.

P.S. * It is important to remember that Queen Eleanore was also Queen of France in her earlier marriage to the King of France. Through a daughter from Queen Eleanore of Aquitane's first marriage, there is a line of descent that also spreads through "Los Altos de Jalisco."
