This reminds me of a question I've been meaning to ask but kind of
forget every time I get to the key board. I guess its time (been time)
for me to start writing myself notes so i'll remember later [here's a
confession---I've been writing myself notes but half the time I forget
to look at the notes].
anyway what is the take on Gonzalez and Gonsalez and Gonzales and
Gonsales?
Since I've started studying genealogy I've always been told not to get
hung up on spelling, but that seemed to be coming from the Anglo point
of view. I tend to believe that we as well shouldn't get hung up on
spelling from the Mexican point of view. Do you all agree?
Reason I'm asking is that I seem to have read something when I first
started genealogy that either the the ending with the Z or the ending
with the S meant something like Jewish roots for folks of Hispanic
hertiage: Peres v. Perez
I don't know and don't really know how they can prove something like
that with a bunch of folks that "SEEM" to be spelling the same persons
name in all different possible ways. . .what does that mean that to one
scribe he was Jewish and to the next one he wasn't. Or is it as it
seems to be that certain ones weren't very literate and spelled the
names phonetically?
And since the Jewish subject came up does anyone know of good resources
for Askenazi (sp) Jews in Mexico. I seem to be of the tribe of Levi (a
priest) if my DNA indications are to be believed?

ps: I hope you all have a Feliz Navidad. I wish we lived close by
because we could have a great party couldn't we.
