Re: [ranchos] Clues to Indigenous Ancestors/DNA


 
Well that is very interesting and I have a situation where my GG grandfather, Maximo Gonzales is the child of Antonio Gonzales and Ignacia Gonzales. You might have given me great food for thought on this subject. Unfortunately I don't know to much about it but I did find a URL that voices the same thing:

http://nahuatl.info/research/genetics.htm

In his personal, ancestral history, Dr. Mario E. Alburges (one-half indigenous Venezuelan, one-half French descent), Research Assistant Professor and Director of Diversity Affairs, at the University of Utah College of Pharmacy, describes the Spanish colonial ranches as a place where indigenous people were enslaved:

From Florida to California, down to South America, the Native People underwent forced labor conditions on colonial ranches. Stripped of their human identity and sovereignty, community-wide designations of patriarchal surnames were applied based on the last name of the ruling Spanish ranch lord.

I just ran across this individual record in the LDS VRI-Mexico database... the 
fact that the wife has the same last name as the husband is not particularly 
interesting.... what is more interesting is that the wife's parents both have in 
effect the same name.

I remember reading somewhere that when indigenous people married into or 
were hired into a family they were "assigned" the name of the family they were 
associated with for lack of a better alternative.  Does anyone know anything 
more concrete on this that can shed any light?
