Joseph,
I was once told that names ending in "ez" or uez were Jewish
[Sephardic]. However, s and z, and s and c and v an b, etc. are
interchangeable in Spanish, according to how they were taught.
If your DNA shows you are of Levite descent, that puts you high up in
Jewish hierarchy. I would ask Mr. Greenspan of the Family Tree DNA about
Jews and Ashkenazi and Sephardic, in Mexico. He is the one who told
me about the Levites etc. in Jewish heierarchy.

Subject: [ranchos] Names 's' and
'z'/HOHOHO
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.
