1467!!!! Sixteen generations!!! My God, you lead a charmed
life. Only five months into your research, and you have found so
much. How I (and the rest) envy you. With your membership in this
group, maybe some of your luck will rub off on us.

Hi Alberto:
Thank you for the "heads up " on a
very interesting article. It has quite a few names that I am
presently researching. It is going to take a few days to sort everything
out to make "heads or tails" . Just a quick preliminary perusing
reveals a lot of information that I can use.
Today has been one of those days that
makes you feel almost numb from joy and good fortune. Earlier
in the day I got en E-mail from Ken Alva. He sent me some information
that will take me all the way back to the birth of Alonso de Hermosillo
in Hermosilla, Burgos, Spain in 1467 !!! Three
generations in Spain, 10 generations in Jalos, and 3 in California! That
puts me in the 16th generation of Gonzalez"s.
I had gotten stuck with Juan Gonzalez de
Hermosillo and his wife from Mexico City .They settled in Jalostotitlan
in the late 1500's.
Ken's information picks him up from there and
takes him three generations back into Spain!!! Talk about getting
lucky.
I have already pinpointed Hermosilla,
Burgos on a map of Spain. It is very tiny village in the Northern part of the
country.
I just don't have enough words to express my
deep appreciation and thanks to all the members of Ranchos...Thank
you.

John, check out the below website. It has some of
the
same names you've mentioned in some of your emails.
The website
was sit up by my wife's (Rebeca Gutierrez
Gonzalez) relatives from Los
Altos, Jalisco. I hope
it helps you find some more names and
relatives. Who
knows? we may be related.
Good
luck.
