[Joseph Puentes <makas@...>]

Hi All,

I got this email and was wondering if any of it looks familiar to anyone.
. .it is pretty vague but you never know.

ps: I just got back from Washington DC. I went to the National Archives for
an introduction. I'd advise this as a source of info to anyone that has some
roots in the US. Of course that is not in the topic of this group and I'd
be glad to talk to anyone off group about my brief introduction to the Archives.
I also got some great photos of  some of the monuments and of my cousin,
Miguel Puentes' name that is on the Vietnam War memorial. There is a lot
of stuff about Mexico at the Archives but probably harder to find I'm guessing.

pps: I did find a map at the archives that had a Rancho on it named Refugio
and I was wondering if that might have been a map of the area before the
name turned to Tabasco, Zacatecas. . .I'm unsure.

========================

I saw your post about the yahoo group on Jalisco.  I have a relative that is believed to have come from that area and family traditions say that he was a general in the spanish or mexican army.  He was a general over a fort in the area.  His name is Patricio Trevino and he married Micaela Del Castillo she attended a university for girls in Guadalajara Jalisco.  Patricio owned a beautiful silver saddle that his granddaughter inherited from him.  I have not gone back passed this time with this line.  I place them about 1850 or so in the area.  They had at least one daughter Marie Ignacia Trevino who married Dionicio Villanueva.  Marie Ignacia travelled to Tamaulipas while pregnant with her second child and died in child birth.  I don't know if your collection and information would be beneficial to finding information about the area of Jalisco and the history so we can find the relatives of Patricio or Micaela.   I don't want to waste time in the wrong email group.  Please advise.
