Hello. My name is Rebekah Webb and I live in Missoula, MT. I have been interested in my family roots since I was a teenager but didn't have the tools and didn't know where to start at that age. My mother has a friend and my mother's father and her friend's father are both from Jerez, Zacatecas. My mother's friend had her father take a test and they found out that their ancestors were Jewish. My mother's friend told my mother that there is a possibility that hers are too. So now I am on a mission. I am really curious to find out if that is the case.
About my Grandfather's side of the family, my 2nd great grandparents Eleno Carrera and Floreincia Sandoval and their 9 children lived in Jerez, Zacatecas around the time that the Revolution started. Around 1914 only Floreincia and two of her daughters Marciala and Maximina were still alive. They remained on Rancho La Gavia until 1915. In 1918, Marciala met my Great Grandfather Miguel Ceballos in his hometown Jerez. He owned a pottery

Great stories, Rebekah! Have they been submitted for publication, for example, a journal of genealogy?

No, I have not submitted it to any publications since according to a few of my Uncles some of the information is incorrect. I asked them what information was incorrect and they couldn't tell me. I got more of the impression that it was more of a matter of opinion. Everyone perceives things differently. Also it was my Aunt who interviewed her father and at that time he didn't speak English and refused to speak English and my Aunt didn't know much Spanish. It is possible that she didn't always hear him correctly. Until anything has been proven incorrect I am flying with the story because I think for the most part everything is correct.

Rebekah I have my files posted on Rootsweb.com. My file is names Mexico, you
can put in Cipriano Ceballos and go to the pedigree in text format to find the
lineage I have. I might be the one you are looking for even though is wife is
Luisa de Avila, worth checking out. Solitral records are in Tepetongo and
Jerez. I have a Florencia Sandoval but not her marriage so not sure she is the
one you are looking for, again you can see her lineage in the pedigree format
also.
