History, Culture and General Discussion

if you saw a little boy running around the store sometimes then it might
have been me. Then again it could easily have been one of my many
cousins. You never know but you and I might have met or as little kids

In reference to Chinese immigrants in Mexico prior to 1650... one of the most Mexican of traditions originates with an Asian immigrant...

ASIAN INFLUENCE IN MEXICO STEMS FROM SEVENTEENTH CENTURY

Isn't that you, Joseph, and Figen, in photo #18? I
hope you had a good time while in DC, and didn't get
caught in that sudden gully-washer of a storm that we
had on the afternoon of the 4th.
Regards,

HI,

I am a new member to Nuestros Ranchos and already I made contact with a distant Tisnado relative. Based on the IGI found in www.FamilySearch.com, migration and settlement patterns, I am searching for the Tisnado ancestor who migrated from Jalisco to Sonora.

Here are the pictures of the Texas Connection to the American Revolution
Associations' DC parade float on July 4th, 2006. If anyone wants to save
any of the pictures they will be online through July but will be removed

The above link is for a brief bio on the winner of Mexico's 1940 election along with a history of his administration.

Since we are celebrating our American democracy today and in view of the recent Mexican presidential election, I found the following article very interesting as I am one not familiar with Mexican history. The outgoing Presidente Fox seems to be part of an ongoing disappointing struggle to bring true democracy to the land of our forebears. I found this article in an old magazine that was part of my husband's stepfather's effects left in an old trunk. Maybe someone in the group can tell us briefly what has occurred since this article was written.

Here is my maternal lineage that I discussed in my post “No Tengo Verguenza.” I’ve posted an asterik * by my great grandfather, the one who his grandchildren believed had been born in Spain. As you can see, he and all of his ancestors were born in Chihuahua.

That's about what I anticipated. I consider those very small numbers of European soldiers. There for a very brief period. Probably gringo tourists have had a greater genetic impact on Mexico.

Way more Mexicans volunteered for the left leaning Republicans during the Spanish Civil War against conserative Generalisimo Francisco Franco and his fascist Falange Party.
