oooh, oooh, oooh!!!! I just got off the phone from collecting some
critical Oral history from an Aunt that has been very very reluctant to
talk to me about her mother or my one and only Solid Brick Wall:
Antonia Lopez. I got confirmation that Antonia Lopez is indeed her
name. she is my maternal grandmother! Hurrah!!!!!!!!!!!!!
anyway now here is the most important information that she gave me:
she said that she was from a town that sounds like Juclaclan
(who-cla-clan).
Can all of those that have great imaginations and
have studied your specific areas of Jalisco send me any town, pueblos,
ranchos or anything that even remotely sounds like Juclaclan.
Boy if I could just break this one line I would be so far in heaven you
might not hear from me again.
I can't believe it I really can't. . .this aunt just opened right up
and talked to me so natural. I think she saw how persistent I had been
all the while not being pushy to get info from her. I would just
occassionally call and establish a good repoire with her and just
casually toss in tidbits of my research. I never pushed her and then
today she just started talking about her mom. . .what a great great day
it is for me!!!!
as you can see I'm so so happy!
now I hope to find this Juclaclan. . .she also said that she and
another aunt of mine once went there [she couldn't remember what it was
close to] and that the only thing remaining of it was a pile of stones
where it had once been. hmmm a ghost town.
thanks for your help. . .
