Re: [ranchos] My Genealogy

[Alicia Carrillo <alliecar@...>]

Hello Lourdes,

 

I also descend from that area of Nochistlan/Tlachichila Zacatecas. I have friends that are said to be distant family here in San Jose that are Rodriguez and are from that area. My surnames are Avelar, Olmos, Aguayo, Ruiz, Esparza, Munoz.

 

I have often heard family members talk about Las Animas and the Rodriguez, Oropeza and Delgadillo surnames. I have relatives in LA who are Olmos Delgadillo who are from Tlachichila just outside of Nochistlan and I have an uncle who's ex wife is Dolores Oropesa, she also lives in San Jose and is from the same area.

 

This should be interesting to see where or if our families intersect.

 

Happy Hunting................Alicia
