Hi Emilie:
It was my mother who was born in Zacatecas. I
remember her talking about being born in "Minillas de Jerez" in 1903. She
found out that there were no records for that period when she tried to establish
her legal status in the U.S. (legal resident) . I believe
she had an affidavit from Jerez, stating that there were no records of her
birth in 1903 because they had been destroyed by fire.
She died in Lodi, California, about 25 years
ago. I have tried to find some of her personal papers, like birth
certificate, marriage certificate, passport, Green Card, without success.
I asked my brothers and sisters, but nobody seems to know what happened to all
of her papers.
Her parents were: Preciliano Cerros and Apolonia
Gonzalez. I remember hearing my grandfather talking about Pánuco but I
was too young to remember what he said about it. The name stuck to
the back of my mind.
I am almost ready to start researching her side of
the family. I am anticipating lots of road blocks and dead
ends.
