Re: Haplogroup A ancestor

["Edward Serros" <ed@...>]

Arturo,

Interesting that you should mention Bolaños silver mines in reference to your mtDNA and 
our ancestors. My family's mtDNA is likely from that greater Bolaños mining area also. My 
grandmother, born in Valparaiso, Zacatecas, was the illegitimate child of a hacendado 
(Felguerez) and one of the servants (Pinedo). The Felguerez were originally in Mesquitic, 
Jalisco and I believe were involved in the Bolaños mines not far away; it was there in 
Mesquitic and later in Valparaiso, where they made their money after coming from 
Asturias, Spain ~1790. Using the Mormon microfilms, I have found Pinedos in all these 
mining towns. Lots of Villarreals also.

You are correct, however, that there was much importing of labor from different areas to 
work the mines.

Ed
