I know my last name is Fuentes, but so many people always put a Z on the end
instead of the S.

Hi Joseph:

Re: González.

The very first González in my line was, Alonso González de Hermosillo, who
was born about 1467 in Heromosilla, Burgos, Spain. The González spelling
was kept all the way down to the 9th generation, where it shows up spelled:
"Gonzáles" At the same time the "de Hermosillo" part was dropped. The
"González" spelling shows up again in the next (10th) generation and it
remained that way in the family to the present day.

I remember reading that in Spain, the names were spelled with the "ez",
and in Portugal with the "es". I believe that most errors were made by the
person writing the church records and interpreting the names.

Joseph,

Given the multi-cultural basis (Spanish, African, and Native-American Indian) of the 
Mexican people and the super multi-cultural basis (Cro-Magnon, Phoenician, Greek, 
Celtic, Basque, Roman, Visigoth, Jewish, North African Berber, Arab, etc.) of the Iberian 
peninsula people, you can probably call yourself anything you wish and probably be 
correct.

Furthermore, you can see that the "sangre limpia" of the "Spaniards" was cr-p.

Scientifically and with respect to your Y-DNA, however, I agree with Victor. Your Y-DNA is 
Celtic, for lack of a better definition. Stay tuned. The Y-DNA

My custom license plate is: 1Gnzlz (One Gonzalez) =sounds like Juan Gonzalez. There are four Juan Gonzalez in my great grandfather's line, I am number five. (Boring. Lack of imagination? or just trying to perpetuate the name ?) None of my kids are named John.

That is Juan Too Many!

I agree, John.  That's a beautiful name.  I might be biased, though, for my great grandfather's name was Aurelio.

Have you noticed that Aurelio is one of the few names that contains all of the vowels?  (a,e,i,o,u).  Another such name is Eulalio.

Joseph,

Right,  most of us have the tarugo gene I think.  The trick is not to let it get the best part of us all the time.  ;-)   Or what's worst let others "vernos la cara de pendejos."

Thanks a lot for the invitation to visit you in NC.  I really wish I could enjoy a good pachanga in  your company and other members of the group with a few fine cervezas,  menudo, pozole and the whole enchilada but that won't be possible this time.    Anyway, if you keep your invitation open and the damned border wall is not built too soon I'll keep dreaming of that day.  LOL

Just kidding.  And like another Spanish saying goes:  "Soñar no cuesta nada". 

Un abrazo muy fuerte

Victor

yeah I know, but still the diiiiistant possibility exists. small as it
maybe. And do I really believe that I'm a Levite, pues no, what do you

this and I just know that there

Erlinda, my great-grandfather's first wife was Ma. Eleuteria Tov/bar from Jerez. Her brothers and sisters were born in both Tepetongo and Tla--don't remember how to spell this town. Her parents were Mauricio Tovar and Ma. Petra Escobedo. My great-grandfather had about 4 kids with her before she died and he married my great-grandmother, who was the age of his eldest daughter or a little older.



And yes, Davila is the same as de Avila. I read something about it this past week but don't ask me where, 'cos I dunno. The surname Correa is Portuguese, I believe. Marge:)

I found in the records from Tamazula Jalisco back in the late 1600's

the scribe spelled Juan as Joan on many records.. that's a Portuguese

spelling. In Jerez I noticed my Tovar ancestor is spelled Thobar,

Thovar, Tobar and Tovar... all the same family. I would think that's a

Spanish pronunciation and spelling. Since our ancestors never saw the

records

There's no difference between the S and Z or X. Remember Xerex or
Xeres, Jerez and so on. People didn't know how to spell then and today
they still don't. We all make miztakex sumtimz. Marge:)

Linda,

This has to do with the popular belief that the advent of migratory
swallows mark the end of winter but that it is not enough to see just
a single astray swallow to think that the summer has arrived.

The translation is: "one swallow maketh not a summer"

Joseph,

A 3 step mutation near match with someone from a different
geographical region and with a different surname is quite a loooong
distance.  As we say in Spanish:  "Una golondrina no hace verano."

This is most likely a case of haplotype convergence and not indicative
of a real genetic affinity.

Alberto,

There is a definitive Sephardic element among the early settlers of
Mexico in colonial times, but not as widespread as some would like you
to believe.  

Some Hispanic persons are carefully researching evidences or hints of
a possible Sephardic ancestry but many more are too eagerly and
hastily donning an ethnic label without sufficient
genealogical/historical or genetic proof to back their claims.

It is something similar to the ever popular reason for pursuing
genealogical research in many people: finding one's royal lineage
ancestors.  The allure of belonging to a special group is a potent
motivator and what's more special than being "chosen by God"?  The
question is are we in a search after factual truths or a fanciful and
embellished version of a glorious past?

Saludos Cordiales,
Victor
