Hi Emilie:
Thanks for your msg.
I had has a great reading of vital records (parish and civil)
for my Genealogy, and to an others, that work is my principal source of
information; the DNA projects are relatively new for my knowledge, this
is very impacting for me (a little time more, and I could be "s - t - o
- n - e - d", por poco me quedo "de una pieza", como decimos en
español), and I considered it a important advance to the Family History.
Talking about the integration of a new culture
(Latin-Americans), as the beginning of a new "raza" or "mezcla de
razas" (White, Indigenous, Negroe, Asiatic, etc.) in America, I know
that this is called "mestizaje"; but if the interaction between
different etnias or cultures, in other places (not in America) as the
DNA Project is showing, I think that Victor (saludos Víctor), is
regarding to a new concept which is need describe it with another word,
only for the "mezcla" before of the "mestizaje" in the New Spain (and
other places of America), surely the mixture of distinct blood or
etnias there was since the beginning of the humans in the earth.
My mind go back, thinking about my ancestral lines, I has found
in my ancestors: Spaniard, Indigenous (Apaches and Tlaxcaltecs, surely
other too), "Mulatos" (this eventually will go to Black or Negroe
blood, that I'm seeking for), "Tresalbos", "Coyotes", "Lobos", and etc.
I'm a "Meztizo Pura Sangre", Ha, ha, ha, ha

.
All or at least many people that work in their Genealogy, have a
"internal incognita" about of where are our origins? and are seeking
back for a relevant individual that to fill their ego "por alcurnia o
por abolengo". Surely many find a important person that is in their
family tree that give a satisfaction to their seeking. Often I think
that if we not found this, we are finding our own identity. How much
more "Mestizos Puros" there are between we.
Is only my way of think (thinking in height voice, or audible
voice).
Saludos a todos.

Victor,
I thought they called it the "Mestizaje"? However, that word
is not in my Spanish dictionary. I found "mescladura" and
"mezcolanza". What say you, Jose Roman? What do they call it in
Mexico?
