I need help in reading the name of Maria del Refugio Lopez y Vasquez’s mother. Her father’s name is Juan Lopez.

Thank you,

I can tell that you watched the recent episode of "Finding Your Roots" on PBS and you are researching the lineage of Melissa Villaseñor. By the way, very disappointing show, no mention of el Rancho de La Piedra Herrada, San Jose de Gracia, Tepatitlan, Los Altos de Jalisco, or even the state of Jalisco. No mention of our rich history, heritage, culture, traditions, and genealogical treasures. No...Dr. Gates only likes to focus on slave owners, and slaves. I have completed my investigation, if you would like some info.

Hello Steven,
You are right that I watched that recent episode, and was continuing the research on their ancestries. The researchers for that show called me up and said that they had seen my work posted on nuestrosranchos and wanted more information. They were very interested in the Lomelin ancestry.
Dr. Gates sent me a nice email congratulating me on my research. I really appreciate the email, but you are right, it would have been nice to hear, or see in the credits an acknowledgment of all the information collected from nuestrosranchos.
And yes I would like to see how far you got in continuing the ancestral lines of Mario Lopez and Melissa Villaseñor. I connect him to the Alvarez Tostado lines in Jalisco and Zacatecas. Melissa has much Los Altos de Jalisco ancestry/Aguascalientes/Zacatecas ancestry. I connect her to my De La Torre, Perez de Paredes and Perez de Contreras ancestries. There are many more ancestral connections than those that I have named here.
I agree
