Welcome, Jeannette was Re: [ranchos] Soriano de Zacatecas

Welcome to the group, Jeannette! I have families from the Jerez area as well, but I definitely wanted to say hi to someone with family from my hometown, Ontario, CA. I don't live there now, but many of my families moved from Jalisco and Zacatecas to Ontario in 1900--1920. Many members of my families live in that area still. I do not see any of my family names on your list, but it's nice to meet someone with connections to Ontario.

Hola! I'm glad I stumbled onto this group because my mother and I just started researching into our family's roots and we would love to learn and contribute to this group. My name is Jeannette Soriano Gonzalez and most of my family on both sides lives in the Los Angeles/Ontario, CA area. However, my father's family is from La Ermita de Guadalupe, a pueblo near Jerez, ZAC. I am looking for the following surnames from La Ermita: Soriano, Ultreras, Trujillo & Landeros. My mother's father is from Venustiano Carranza (formerly San Gabriel), JAL. The surnames I'm looking for there are Gonzalez and Baltazar. My mother's mother family moved around a lot, but they originated from Michoacan towns such as Iztlan, Tanuhato & Sauayo (sp?). The names I'm looking for there are Alvarez, Espinoza, Ramirez & Salazar. I'm looking forward to reading through the list and putting our geneology line up once we input into the Family Tree Maker software we bought recently! Would appreciate any help and tips as we start out journey! Gracias, Jeannette Soriano Gonzalez
