Hi Sophia:

The "Gonzalez de Hermosillo " originated in a small village called
Hermosilla, just a few miles North of Burgos, Spain. You can Google it and
find information about it.

I like to recommend a book: "Jalostotitlan a Traves de Los Siglos" by Jose
Antonio Gutierrez Gutierrez. This book has a lot of information not only
about the founding families of Jalos, but also about the region known as Los
Altos de Jalisco. You'll find it very useful in your research.

I bought my copy at:

Libros Latinos
301 9th St. Ste. "B"
Redlands, CA. 92374
(909) 798-1342

Hola John,

Thank you so much for the information. I actually lived in Spain for 11 years and visited the town without knowing that that was were my ancestors were from.
I will try and get these books you tell me about.
I'm so excited!

Saludos,

Sophia

Since you lived in Spain, let me give you some information about a book:
"Hermosilla, Su Historia y sus Gentes" by Dionisio Cueva.

You might be able to get it if you still have connections in either,
Hermosilla or Madrid. I got it through a friend who lives in Madrid and he
was kind enough to go to Hermosilla to take some pictures and try to do a
little research for me. He sent me a picture of the house where the Gonzalez
used to live. The descendents are no longer in Hermosilla, they moved to
Burgos.
In one of the pictures that he took there was a poster with the announcement
of a book on the history of Hermosilla. I went to the web and found the
Hermosilla web page where I posted a message asking for information on how
to locate Presbitero Dionisio Cueva, the author. It wasn't long before I
had a phone number in Madrid, I asked my friend to call it and he was able
to get in touch with the author. It took a few weeks to get the book
because they were being kept in

Gracias Juan!
I will try and hopefully I'm lucky.

Just an opinion, we don't really know because they weren't their but by research and estimation" I could say based on my research in Los Altos that the families we're constantly moving from place to place. I have several families moving everywhere in Los Altos from Lagos to San Juan, Teo., Aguas to Ayo and Jalos. all over. It is interesting that they always moved to a certain location based on what time of the year? Prob it was dryer in Ayo than Jalo im not sure. We could say European civilization was in it's creation form in the mid 1500-1600's so maybe the natives attacked like in Aguas? Well the Hermosillos came from D.F. if im not mistaken before coming to Los Altos and Muñoz came directly from Spain and The Mendozas I believe came from Guadalajara the prob. is not sure which one since there were 2 or 3 Guadalajaras Diego Hurtado de Mendoza came from D.F. to "La Guadalajara" (Cited from Gary Félix site "Genealogy of México" Page on Early Settlers of "La Nueva Galicia" He was son of

Hola Ronnie, this is what I found.

La titulada “La Vieja del Concilio” que narra la desventura de una hermosa
mujer española muy rica (que se cree fue doña Ana González Florida quien
vivió en el siglo XVII); quien fue atacada por un leoncillo que le desfiguró
el rostro, pasando la desdichada el resto de sus días con la cara cubierta;
se convirtió entonces en una mujer muy cruel que se dedicó a asaltar
diligencias y arrieros, en unión de su banda; reuniendo una gran fortuna.
Agrega la leyenda que, después de fallecida, su espíritu vagó y siguió con
sus fechorías, auxiliada por los animales feroces que la obedecían.

I have a book somewhere that talks more about it but I'll have to look for
it.

Saludos,

Rick
