Re: [ranchos] SALUDOS TO EVERYONE

Hello,

 

I've always wondered if any families had haciendas in the Los Altos area and what differentiates a ranch from a hacienda.  Does anyone out there know how I would go about finding that information? 

 

I stumbled across the Bobby Vaughn website some time ago and found it fascinating.  I think it was only in Mexico City where the blacks outnumbered the Spaniards.  

 

Thanks,

 

Alice
