Irma--
No, I don't have the surname Romo in my lines. It is my husband's
ancestors, the Garcias, who are light skinned, tall, light haired, and
hazel-eyed or blue eyed Tapatios from Jalisco. The photo of the saint in
the article for which I sent a link bears a striking resemblance to my husband,
his father, and his great-grandmother, Marciana Cervantes. I have traced
some of the Garcias who married into the Calzada family that were from Rincon de
Romos. My husband's gggg-grandfather Cayetano Garcia married Anna Cleta
Calzada. Marciana Cervantes was descended from Patricio Martines [Martin]
who married Maria Maxima Duron; they were also from Rincon de Romos. In
between there were Aguirres, Albas, Gonzaleses, Moroneses, Ornelases. The
closest surname to Romo in my husband's lines is one Roman.
I was just amazed that someone surnamed Romo from Jalostitlan could look so
much like my husband's Garcia-Cervantes family from Encarnacion de Diaz in
Jalisco. People in Jalisco and Aguascalientes must be inter-related.
They also look different from the people I saw in Jerez when I went there in the
1960's with my father. It seems my husband's ancestors were always
merchants or military, or religious, etc. (town people) and were
not laborers on the ranchos like my ancestors. That leads me to
believe that the Spaniards were more educated than the Mesizos in Mexico and
held positions of authority and in commerce rather than laboring in the fields
and ranches.

Subject: RE: [ranchos] Toribio Romo --
Mexico's Ghostly Benefactor of Illegal Aliens!
Santo Toribio has many of the features that are
commonly seen in Romos even of today. My aunt married a Romo, and many
of my cousins have a striking ressemblance (mostly the beautiful eyes-whether
they be brown/green/blue) to Santo Toribio. Since they haven't done any
research, I've been trying to figure out any connections for them. In
doing this, I was able to tie in my dad's side of the family to Santo
Toribio's mother who is NOT a Romo. This is how I came to "meet"
John G. I still have more work to do on my Romos & my
cousin's. I also thought that my Santa Ana Romos would tie into Rincon
de Romos. My cousins claim that their father often told them they
weren't related to the Romos of Santa Ana--that they were from San Luis
Potosi. I just think that their features are a bit too much to
ignore. Gotta go and dig some more....
Emilie, am I understanding that you have Romo too, and
that you tied into the Romos in Rincon de Romos? Just wondering...
I know there are still many there but haven't been able to tie mine in
...
