Agapito (Augapito) ought to be really glad he bears that
name!  Somebody loved him! That only means Loved One (from 
agape, the word for real love in the Greek language.
 
Zenobio= Cenobio(a)
Senobio(a)= Zenon=Cenon(a)=Senon(a) a variation of the

Also spelled Xenon, Xenona.  I have those and plenty

How about my dad's name?   Aureliano.  Almost no one knows
how to pronounce it, much less spell it.  He was named after my

Actually, they sound more like
Mexicans.  
 
    If you can get it in your area, try to
watch a novela called  'Alborada".  It's a historical novel about
Mexico during the early 1800s.  It'll give you a good idea of Mexico during
that time. There are other historical novelas about Mexico you can either get on
tape or CD.
 
It  covers costuming, vanilla plantations, duelos,
thieves, people with titles, religious orders, Jewish relations, Catholic
Church, commerce with central America, la Nao de la China, ports of call,
commerce with other latinamerican countries (ties were closer than we think),
cochinilla, horses, carruajes, swordfighting,  births (how registrations
were not aways true), legitimate and illegitimate, morals, etc.
 
Regarding hermanito, manito:  this terminology is
found throughout the Spanish speaking world because of the priests telling the
new converts that they were hermanitos, so is that
particular pronounciation of acequia in just the way

Here's a good one from my family tree--

 

My grandfather's sister, Rafaela, married my grandmother's
brother.  Thirteen years later my grandparents get married.  So,
my dad has a set of first cousins whom I call "double-first cousins," since
they're his cousins through both their mom's and dad's
sides.

Thanks!  Yes, I know where my name derives from, but it's just not the same because everyone calls me "Peggy Sue" "Peggy Lou", or "Peggy Ann"....
But, I didn't know that a Margarita was a daisy!  I love that flower...it looks so happy and friendly.

Thanks for the kind words!

Hi everyone!  I feel like I am coming in late into
this conversation, nevertheless, here's my  2-bit 
contribution.
 
    I agree with Ed.  I just received
more results from my DNA research.  My Indian branch, which has thought of
themselves as Indians  (Tlaxcalans) have just received their dna
results
  which
indicate that they descend from a male line in northwest Europe (more closely
related to the Vikings than the Spanish). It is haplpogroup I1a.
 
    Everybody is surprised (including one
of my doctor cousins who simply refuses to acknowledge the truth, never mind we
the tests were run more than once on more than one individyal, by more than
one company). It turns out that there is no memory in the family of anyone being
Spanish on that side.  For the last 300+ years, no one has said that they
were mestizos, only Indian was mentioned on that male line. In fact, we even
have stories about their fights with the Spanish and how they finally joined the
Spanish. There

I started my genealogy research after we named our
last child.  But recently I told my wife, if I had
known the names of my great---grandparents, uncles,
and aunts, I would have named our children after them.
 She saw my list, and told me "No, Way!"  In that
case, I would of just given their middle names, like
or not, since I usually gave her first choice of
picking the first names.

I still think our early ancestor's names were
beautiful.

People seldom went by their given name, Concepcion became Chon.. 
Refugio became Cuko or Cuka, Maria de la Lus became Lucha.. my 
grandfather was Epitacio, they called him Pancho. My father is Aniceto 
but they call him Chet... Somehow when they added Don or Dona before 
the name it became even more special whatever it was... instant 
respect!

David. . .fabulous answer and I'm so glad I asked.

thanks for taking the time to share with us things we need to hear more
about and absorb. In fact why not consider adding a little here and
there and tossing in a few references and producing a podcast on this
subject. It is something that many many people need to hear and I'd be
very happy to archive your message in both Audio and written form on the
NFU podcast. What do you think?


And while we're at it what do you have to say about the addition or
subtraction of the "s" on names for example my name: Puentes. In the
older records I only see "Puente" but in the newer records it starts
showing up and persisting as "Puentes." Some folks now a days get this
big "tude" about "We are NOT Puente, we are PUENTES!" As for me I know
I'm a Puente but somewhere down the line the name got modified. . .and i
used to think it changed in the US but no, I see the change happening

Names 's' and 'z'/HOHOHO

Jose,

It's been a long time since I tried to make use of my specialty- Spanish.  I'd like to try to present my understanding of the use of language by Spanish speakers.  As I recall, the language was first formed by the semitic linguists in the eighth century.  Before 711 A.D. there was a tremendous diversity in terms of languages spoken in the Iberian peninsula.  If you were to read the poems which are considered the earliest forms of Spanish you would barely recognize the language.  After 1492 the newly-formed "Spanish" people retained a very negative, resentful and vengeful attitude toward anything or anyone of semitic origins.  The government (monarchy) began a process of "ethnic cleansing" which extended into "purifying" the language.  Up until the early years of the 16th century no one even attempted to make rules for spelling.  The decision to make rules came from a small number of self-appointed experts not from the people who used the language.

I have attached a marriage document where Miguel Gonzales marries Maria
de Jesus de la Torre Sanchez and when she dies he marries (his first
cousin) Maria de Jesus de la Torre Correa. If the priest had not
mentioned the "cadaver ...", how would one ever discover that he didn't
marry the same person twice. No maternal names are mentioned.

Another common coincidence is when a man or woman lost a spouse they

When my parents divorced my dad married an Esperanza and my mom's name
is Esperanza, when my Padrino in Ensenada lost his first wife Berta,
he married again to another Berta and I have found several cases in my
research of widows or widowers who re-married and married someone with
the same given name as their first spouse.

Could this be coincidence?
