Dear Readers:

Wonderful news.  The World War II Memorial Dedication activities in Washington, D.C honoring Hispanic/Latino veterans now includes a Friday night reception at the Smithsonian Castle.   Be sure and read all it under U.S.

Other features include more of the Naval submarine training and experiences of Capt. Paul Trejo (USNR).  Don't miss the article about the first prototype for the modern submarine built by a Spaniard, under History.

Mexican historians continue to share personal research, such as:
Lic. Leonardo de la Torre y Berumen, Zacatecas marriages, starting 1731.
Lic. Guillermo Padilla Origel, Michoacan, baptisms, starting 1596

Lic. Manuel Robles de la Torre sent a Milagro account that took place in 1673 in Jalisco,  both a Spanish and English version.

Jaime Cader, a Salvadorian interviewed Arturo Campos, an artist-musician from El Salvador that now lives in Oakland.  Arturo shares the traditions in the town of Izalco. Look under Indigenous.

SOMOS PRIMOS  November 2004
http://www.somosprimos.com/sp2004/spnov04/spnov04.htm

Dear Somos Primos readers:

I hope you all had a few outstanding experiences during Hispanic Heritage Month. Comments on the DC, Washington trip will have to wait for the December issue.  This issue was too large to include all that happened. 

With all eyes on the election, John Schmal prepared two appropriate studies,  "The Struggle for Chicano Representation" in Los Angeles (last article under L.A.), and  "Latino Voting Trends" (last article under U.S.)

In response to a recent well publicized study which concluded that Mexicans are not assimilating,  with the help of Bonnie Chapa, two distinct lines of Chapa families are included.  The descendants of my own maternal grandparents which settled in California, and those of Cristobal Chapa whose descendants live in Missouri, Illinois, Colorado, Arizona, and Texas.  I think you'll agree we have speedily made the transition.

Pictures and comments of the October 2, Obregon Memorial unveiling in Los Angeles by two individual, the designer Eddie Martinez and Mercy Bautista Olvera.

Phil Valdez Jr. sent the third in his series of Anza letters.

An interesting exchange of emails between Eddie Martinez, Jaime Cader and Lucy Wilson.  Lucy sent me an email requesting help in the pronunciation of Nahuatl words.  The willingness of both Eddie and Jaime to help is what makes producing Somos Primos so much fun.  Everyone sharing what they know is educating all of us.

Among the researchers in this issue who have amassed considerable information with a specific name or a specific regional area, look in this issue for a possible CD by Crispin Rendon who has gathered 114,525 records, most are     
North Mexico/ South Texas families.

We continue with the outstanding work of John Inclan on the Canales families.

Daniel Enriquez, (East coast) has 3,500 names in the Chiautla, Puebla area and is looking to make connections with researchers.. 

Roberto José Pérez Guadarrama (Venezuela) is also hoping to make connections .    
Two family groups also seeking primos, the Elizondos and Alvarez families.

Articles by Mexican correspondents.
Genealogia de la Familia de La Mota, Guillermo Padilla Origel 
Archivo de Notarias of Mexico City, Fernando Muñoz Altea
Encomiendas de Yucatan, Juan Pablo Alvarez Guedea   

Angel Custodio Rebollo of Spain sent an article on Columbus (Colon) in both Spanish and Portuguese. I placed the versions next to each other.  It makes it very easy to see how close the two languages are.  Custodio sent three other articles, on his maternal side de la Corte, on San Juan Del Puerto, where his mother was born, and another on some historical figures from San Juan who came to Nueva Espana.

Johanna De Soto sent a few studies, Chinese in Torreon, Mexico,  Records of Colonial Tlalpujahua, Mexico, Age and Marriage in Colonial Mexico, and a spooky folktale El Nahuali, Demonio o Brujo.
                            
The entire text of Paul Newfield's presentation "They Came in Ships..." delivered in 2000, at  Donaldsonville, Louisiana.  It was the dedication of the monument celebrating the Canary Islanders who settled in Spanish Louisiana in the late 18th century.  

Bill Carmena sent links and information on obtaining birth certificates in Portugal, Uniformology, Julio N. Rancel's Outstanding Genealogy site, and Timeline of Spain thru 1899

In addition to many other articles, George Gause sent Sarita's Secret, Is Ray Fernandez, the descendant of a Mexican maid, the heir to the gigantic Kenedy fortune?  George is an archivist and reference librarian at the University of Texas, Pan American.  

Howard Shorr, a professor in Portland, Oregon has sent six current  and very interesting news articles.
Millions of Latinos added to voting rolls
Latino Students Recruited at Historically Black Colleges
Untapped home-loan market: immigrants
Mexican-Americans Struggle for Jobs
Authorities say ring was smuggling teachers into United States
And my favorite . . . .  Assimilation Happens -- Deal With It  

Did you know that Senator Orrin Hatch, the originator of the "Dream Act" is a lyricist with at least 6 albums out?  Under East Coast, you can link and hear one of his songs.  My favorite, Heal Our Land.

Please feel welcomed to send information about yourself, your research, good works that others are doing, and fascinating historical tidbits. 

For the Christmas issue, it would be fun to include a bunch of individual or family photos with a sentence or two of the location where family research is concentrated.  I would appreciate receiving both the text and photo in the email itself. 

Warm Regards,  Mimi

Looking to 2005, the SHHAR Board is committed to providing more internet resources which will be linked through SHHAR and Somos Primos home pages.  Thus far:

1) John Inclan has agreed to allow his wonderful research, compiled into family
    pedigrees to be shared online. 
2)  Dr. Ganville Hough's monumental Patriot's series will also be available. California
    and Arizona have been prepared for internet access and will be uploaded soon.
3) Black-Latino Connection booklet, plus more research hopefully will be ready for
    the internet by January.

Thank you for your kind letters of support. You have no idea what a boost of energy I get from hearing that the information that you read in Somos Primos is helping.

Merry Christmas, may you all enjoy a blessed and joyful season.

Sincerely,  Mimi

Somos Primos January 2005


Click here: Somos Primos
http://www.somosprimos.com/sp2005/spjan05/spjan05.htm

Dear Readers and Primos. .  

To bring in the New Year we are excited to have in place four new resources. You will find reference them in this issue, but will need to go directly to the links for the following:

1)  John Inclan Family Trees.  John's has compiled 25 family trees, with references and notes, the histories of many of the core colonial families who migrated from Spain to the Americas utlimately settling in Mexico and throughout the Southwest.  http://www.somosprimos.com/inclan/inclan.htm

2) The complete text will soon be online from all of the Hough's monumental
8-volume Spanish Patriots series,
listing every Spanish soldiers who fought in support of the American Revolution.  Steve Hussey, who is converting the text for easy online searches, plans to complete the task by July 4th, 2005.  We are involved in mounting an event in Washington, D.C. (see below) the focus of one of the events will be the Hispanic contributions during the American Revolution.  Currently, both volumes of California and the Arizona study are online at: http://home.socal.rr.com/shussey/shhar/sotar.htm  

3)  I have been asked by Sam Anthony, Producer of Program Events at the National Archives in Washington, D.C. to assist in organizing a series of 6 Hispanic heritage events in D.C..  A webpage has been set up to share the unfolding of the plans.  The webpage will be updated and hopefully serve, in addition, as a site to promote use of the National Archives in Hispanic family research.  The site lists those serving as advisors, and the focus of each event.  http://www.somosprimos.com/nara/nara.htm

4) The Black Latino Connection   After being made aware of the fact that no event had ever been presented in D.C. on the historical connections between the Black and Spanish speaking communities, I decided to put a webpage online with research on the topic. 

In November 1995, SHHAR hosted a joint meeting with the African-American Genealogical Society of Los Angeles, enlarging on an interest that I already had on the subject. In 2000, I compiled the The Black Latino Connection . The Orange County's Black Chamber, and Hispanic Chamber of Commerce published the soft-bound booklet. The text of the book, plus additional information form the basis of this webpage.  The Black Latino connection needs to be explored for understanding fully our Latino diversity.  Submissions are welcomed. http://www.somosprimos.com/blacklatino/bl.htm


Features in the January issue:

A series of three articles concerning the attempts by many groups to save the military histories of World War II Latinos.

John Schmal has contributed four articles, all focused on understanding our  indigenous connections, first two in the Indigenous file and two in the Mexico file.

The Aztecs are Alive and well: The Náhuatl Language in México
1600th Century Indigenous Jalisco

Hi all . . 

I know you will all be touched by the beautiful illustration created by Eddie Martinez in support of the 2005 Hispanic American Series at the National Archives in D.C., Latino Blood, American Heart. We are trying to find funds for publishing posters for distribution to schools and libraries. If you have any suggestions, please email me, or call 714-894-8161. 

As usual there is a great variety of articles. One of my favorite in this issue is under Texas, called Head of the Class. It was first published in the L.A. Times in January 2002. I saved it because I just loved the story. It made me proud. Head of the Class is about then 24-year old Victor Cornejo who with knowledge of his culture and marketing intuitiveness revived the El Paso Stetson hats company in El Paso. (Texas)

Some other articles touching the emotions are the one sent by Mercy Bautista Torre who writes "This web page is in memory of a man I never met, yet I admire him as if I knew him all my life, my Uncle, PFC. Fernando C. Alatorre" (USA)

Michael Connolly Terrazas writes about his discoveries in My Chihuahua Cousins "My appreciation of immediate and extended family, heredity and the importance of each has been reborn. I seek to remain close to these newly discovered cousins, and to find and meet others!" (Southwest)

The surname information is from Eddie Grijalva who has been researching the Grijalva surname for 20 years, first his California roots and heritage, and then back through history to Spain and the Villa de Grijalva. He shares some of his email networking communication. (Surname) 

Articles on getting involved in promoting Hispanic heritage:
Cesar Chavez events, national (US)
San Juan Capistrano, Swallow's Day and parade (CA)
Military history channel plans to produce 20 hours of Hispanic programs (US)
National Park Service to focus on the historical Hispanic presence (History)

Hispanic/Latino/Chicano Identity is the topic in numerous selections:
Notes from EPIC of the Greater Southwest by Rubén Sálaz Márquez (Southwest)
Afro-Mexican Racial & Ethnic Self-Identity: thesis abstract by Alva Moore Stevenson
Afroargentine (Black) 
Chicano Shouldn't Be a Dirty Word (US)
Latino Racial Outlook Varies (US)
Indigenous in Mexican Census (Indigenous)
Remnants of Crypto-Jews Among Hispanic Americans. (Sephardic)
'Mexican-American' is only a small piece of who I am (Texas)
Four articles of immigrants entering Venezuela by Roberto José Pérez Guadarrama 
and Melania Suárez reveal complexity of identity in Spanish speaking nations.
Three articles in DNA research, two in Mexico and one under Sephardic


Selections from international historians 
1653 Sancta Provincia de Xalísco: Carlos Martín Herrera de la Garza 
Family tree of the Llamas: Salvador Cabral Valdes
Ponce de Leon: Alberto Casas Rodriguez
Agustín de Iturbide portrait: Armando Escobar Olmedo
Four articles by columnist Angel Custodio Rebollo 
Moguer, España; Francisco de Vides; Luis de Carvajal; Francisco Vela Siller; surname Treviño; and the status of Columbus' tomb 

Just for fun under Miscellaneous, you'll find information on how to purchase Loteria game cards for large numbers (500+) and a website to hear folk music of Mexico.

Thank you all for submitting materials and your kind letters of support. I have a new scanner and will be able to start sharing submissions that are way overdue to be included.

Warm regards, Mimi

Hi. . for a fun historical perspective on how April 1st is observed in different countries, look under Miscellaneous.   

You'll find in this issue, numerous programs/projects for encouraging gathering pubic histories and the Hispanic/Latino perspective, a few are . . .from the Library of Congress' "Voices of War " to Dr.
José Angel Gutiérrez, "Tejano Voices" Collection,"  the Utah "Saints at War Project,"  to  Daniel Olivas request for short fiction, and the National Latino Writers Conference in New Mexico.  It is certainly through the submissions of readers that Somos Primos is enriched.

Just pointing out a few items, you'll read the . . .

~concerns of Puerto Rican teacher, Manuel Hernandez that students are not writing
~conclusions of Rafael Ojeda,

~

Dear Readers . . 

I hope you all enjoyed a fun summer. I was contacted by quite a few Lozano researchers and was delighted to find the connections.

Please read about the National Museum of the American Latino in Washington, D.C. and support the effort to your local representative. Citizen support is needed.
Our calls might make the difference.

Also, a reminder,  National History Day is underway. Each state has a coordinator.  You may consider giving a small award in your Family's name.  It will encourage research of our history and heritage among both Hispanics and non-Hispanics . .  http://www.nationalhistoryday.org
