Aguilar from Mazapil, Zacatecas. The farthest that I have been able to go is my great great grandmother. Also Sierra from San Luis Potosí. On my dad side I have only been able to go as far as my grandfather only. I need help on both please.
Victoria...Oaxaca. Fathers side of family Ponce ...Michoacan mothers side of family ..Thank you for doing these videos and content it means so much to our ppl and family ...so grateful for what you doing with all this info.
Loving these videos. Can’t wait to make some time to research. I have 3 names I really want to dig deep for. My Abuela’s maiden name, Rico from Purepero, Michoacán , my abuelo’s, Contreras also Purepero, Michoacán . But my last name, Salas is of much interest for me. My dad was from Bellavista, Nayarit. He has a very interesting story. His dad died when he was 3 so the Salas family took him in but then was stolen by his mom and never heard about his family until recent and he is 77 years old.
Thanks for video my moms side is from Sonora but we don’t know what part they immigrated around 1870s to Tempe Arizona We always refer to our grandparents as nana and tata . Are we Papago ,Yaqui?
My dad is from Valle de Guadalupe Jalisco. Last names are García Gonzalez. My dad has a picture of his grandparents that says Santa Monica CA Mexico. So I’ve always wanted to know more.
Last name : CANO My family is from Guanajuato and Jalisco, i never really see my last name anywhere, its not a common hispanic last name. I would appreciate if you did a video on it, I always wanted to know more of its background.
People used to get the name of the Saint under the day they were born (i.e. Cervantes' name was Miguel because he was born the day of San Miguel ) they didn't celebrate the birthday so much but rather the day of the Saint. Still in Spain we they celebrate both Saint and Birthday days. Love your channel. Thank you
I've been studying my heritage and from what I've learned. My mother is Morales Licea from Tlazazalca Michoacan. Grandpa Spaniard and grandma purepecha. It's hard though because being a mestizo is not fun because I feel like we're are not accepted to either side. Like an outsider. On my dad's side I don't know anything but last names. Heredia Gonzalez from Morelia.
Love your Tiktoks! Can you please make a video on any of these last names from Michoacán? Vidales, Miranda, Buenrostro, Campos, Flores, Olivia, Sosa, Pantoja, de la Cueva, Mauleon, Cano.
Thank you very much for your great content! 👍 Do you happen to have any advice or would you be considering making a video in regards to how to trace your Mexican heritage? Via paperwork, I'm assuming you have to call the churches or email them or maybe some sort of national registry? There's people like me who are fluent in English and Spanish but can only trace it as far back as a great grandfather at the most.
Hi I came from Tiktok my family is from Michoacán. My dad would tell me stories about his family being from Nocupetaro but he grew up in Apatzingan his last name was Botello. Can you please do a story??
The Filipinos introduced many cultural practices to Mexico, such as the method of making palm wine, called "tubâ",[11][12][13] the mantón de Manila,[14][15][16] the chamoy,[17] and possibly the guayabera (called filipina in Veracruz and the Yucatán Peninsula).[18] Distillation technology for the production of tequila and mezcal was also introduced by Filipino migrants in the late 16th century, via the adaptation of the stills used in the production of Philippine palm liquor (lambanog) which were introduced to Colima with tubâ.[19] Filipino words also entered Mexican vernacular, such as the word for palapa (originally meaning "coconut palm leaf petiole" in Tagalog), which became applied to a type of thatching using coconut leaves that resembles the Filipino nipa hut.[4] Various crops were also introduced from the Philippines, including coconuts,[20] the Ataulfo and Manilita mangoes,[21][22] abacá, rice, and bananas. A genetic study in 2018 found that around a third of the population of Guerrero have 10% Filipino ancestry.[3]
My maternal grandparents last name is Saldaña from Tenamaxtlan, Jalisco. It's a small town near Guadalajara where I have more family. I would love to know more about their origen.
Thanks for all your work! Can you do Martin-Limon? Would you know why the last name was hyphenated back then and why the Martin would have been dropped? Family originally came into Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco. Would love to know a bit more about them.
Just saw your tiktok so now I'm here. Any info on Alegria for a last name?? Supposedly some of the family comes from Cruillas in the Mexican state of Tamaulipa. Not sure if that's in the area you're dealing with.
My Father’s last name is Rodriguez from Tepic, Nayarit. I’ve been trying to do research on my dad’s genealogy. His father passed away when he was a baby. Most of the information I have found leads me to Jalisco!
The Camarenas from Guadalajara Jalisco and the ones involve in the Reconquista in Spain. Lopez, Moran, Ugarte, and Rincon, De la Torre in Buena Vista Colima ✔check out and inform!
My dad's from Mexico DF, but from a small pueblo named Tonatico. His name is Celso Millan. His father's last name is Millan Serrano and his mother's last name is Garcia. My mother's mom last name is Garcia also, and her father's last name is Gonzalez.
Brother, my last name is Zavala. I was told our name is Basque. I’m just starting to research my family’s history. I know my father was born in Oaxaca,I also know they moved to Puebla,and to Mexico DF. Any help on how to start my research would be greatly appreciated. I’m also interested in buying the books you offer for sale. Keep up the great work you do.
Here from Tiktok!! Ok, so, my great grandfather emigrated to the US in the early 1900s. His name was Joseph Galvan and was born in Aguascaliente. He never gave us any info on our ancestry. I asked my mom about why he never gave us any lineage and all he ever told her was that we're Native American and that's all we need to know. We also know he was Yaqui, but when he came to California he was basically adopted by a Paiute woman so he also claimed Paiute (according to my mom). We have such a hidden ancestry and my family is struggling finding out where we came from.
I am enjoying your channel. You are very educated on this subject. I have done my Ancestry and looked at my DNA and have tried looking up my Maiden name at it is virtually impossible. My last name was Laurel and I have not found anything. I am Hispanic but is this a Hispanic last name? If you can help please give me some direction.
This is awesome. Thank you for sharing this. Both of my parents and their great grandparents back to mid 1700s were all in a tiny rancho in Sombrerete Zacatecas. Their last name is Barboza. I’d appreciate any insight you may have on my last name!
Im super interested in these videos and finding out the history of my last names. My last name is Avelar and I never really hear it, my dads family is from Tepatitlan, Jalisco. We know that great grandparents lived in Zacatecas and moved to Jalisco. The other last name is Navarro, also from Tepatitlan Jalisco, it’s more common but we don’t really know much about it. Thanks!
Filipino Mexicans (Spanish: Mexicanos Filipinos) are Mexican citizens who are descendants of Filipino ancestry.[1] There are approximately 1,200 Filipino nationals residing in Mexico. [2] In addition, genetic studies indicate that about a third of people sampled from Guerrero have Asian ancestry with genetic markers matching those of the populations of the
Historical records Colonial-era Filipino immigrants to Mexico are difficult to trace in historical records because of several factors. The most significant factor being the use of the terms indio and chino. In the Philippines, natives were known as indios, but they lost that classification when they reached the Americas, since the term in New Spain referred to Native Americans. Instead they were called chinos, leading to the modern confusion of early Filipino immigrants with the much later Chinese immigrants in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Intermarriage and assimilation into Native American communities also buried the true extent of Filipino immigration, as they became indistinguishable from the bulk of the peasantry.[5][23] Another factor is the pre-colonial Filipino (and Southeast Asian) tradition of not having last names. Filipinos and Filipino migrants acquired Spanish surnames, either after conversion to Christianity or enforced by the Catálogo alfabético de apellidos during the mid-19th century. This makes it very difficult to trace Filipino immigrants in colonial records.[5]
@@cinderwhite notice the trend here? everybody from Michocan, QTO, Zacatecas are hitting brick walls . Why? Because your guys last names weren't original last names. These regions had a lot of slavery during the Porfiriato. Many Yaquis were kidnapped from Sonora and Arizona and forced the work the mines of Zacatecas and take catholic last names. That's why all the Central Mexicans and Southern Mexicans can easily find their genealogy record quickly. a lot of us in central mexico have indigenious last names still like Tecocuatilzi The Mexicans from Jalisco and Nuevo Leon can trace their lines to 1600s during French wars because they were like all european and traced. But you guys, just don't get anywhere past the 1800s.?? I found out my surname was French but we weren't French. We took on a French surname to get land titles. When Zapatista goons arrived in 1910 to edomex, he told my great grandpas town to change surname to a Spanish surname. But he laughed his a55 becaus he wasn't french. They never returned and we never changed our surname however some of our cousins changed surname to a Spanish one, but they also were never Spanish. They were a 100% native american community. I suspect same thing is happening with you guys. A lot of you guys changed your surnames during the French Pastry war and during Maximliano. French gvot was giving lots of land titles to Mexicans that would change surname to French. In 1910 they made you guys change your surnames, and even the lebanese and arab migrants that came to mexico in 1940s.
My grandgather had the last name Gallegos, Ancestery showed his race Navajo Indinan. Is this possible, with a spanish last name? Can he be Navajo Indian?
The civil records I’ve found for my family don’t have an ethnic label, these records are from Jalisco and one branch from Guanajuato in the late 1700s to late 1800s. My abuela days that they used to call her family los criollos, but this was the late 1800s-early 1900s so it’s well past the usage of this term right?
My parents are from Jalisco. Dad’s last name is Lopez (paternal) and Rubio (maternal). Mother’s names are Arreola (paternal) and Romero (maternal). I’d love to know some history on any of these names and how they got to where we are today. Did a DNA test and it came back 40% Indigenous to western Jalisco, 25% Spanish, 20% Portuguese. I’m wondering if finding a time frame in which Lopez or Arreola was first documented in Jalisco would help find the tribe I would belong to.
In 1849, the Spanish governor of the Philippines assigned permanent Spanish surnames to the people so he could keep track of them for tax purposes and so on. It's not unusual for 90% of the inhabitants of an island to have surnames that begin with the same letter.
The same in Latin America, the guy in the video isn’t well informed. You couldn’t just registered with any indigenous surname. By the time they finally conquered the Mayans after 50 years of resistance the Spanish finally allowed indigenous surnames but only depending on what the Catholic Church accepted. My friend is indigenous and her family surname was rejected because it’s not within the surnames accepted by the government. So they chose another surname and in many cases through the list of accepted surnames they sometimes choose Spanish surnames, especially to avoid discrimination since having indigenous surnames got you discriminated. You look at all the Yaqui Indians and they have surnames like Martinez and Lopez.
My dads side is Ybarra & De Leon from who knows where I know all my grandparents on that side were Tejanos.
