Because the Jewish “clans” preferred to marry within their own clans and of
their own faith, it appears that the majority carry very similar DNA.
While it is true that one needed to be born from a Jewish mother to be
considered Jewish, it is also true that in the Kohen tribe, or priestly family
of the Jewish faith. _ http://www.cohen-levi.org/_
( http://www.cohen-levi.org/) , only Cohen MALES can perform the Temple’s service. This is a very
sensitive subject within the today’s Jewish communities – especially by Jewish
women.
This may not define “race”, however neither being Spanish, Irish, Mexican
is considered a “race”, as the traditional thinking of race is defined by
color, not ethnic, national, or religious origins. I liked the heading of
this topic “clans”…it attempts to define family lineage within a larger
scope of a given nation – something we all do as we go down the path of
genealogy and our ancestry.
It is of no coincidence that many “conversos” would have been attracted to
the new world, as it was the very same year Columbus “discovered” America
that Queen Isabella decided to get rid of all Jews and Muslims who had lived
peacefully in Spain for hundreds of years.
Many of these displaced people (yet another Diaspora) went to other parts
of Europe, but no doubt many also came to the New World, and their Y-DNA
markers are testimony to such settlements. Did they continue their faith in
secrecy? Yet another mystery…..but I have heard anecdotal stories within
my own families how they “rebelled” against the Catholic Church or
whispered about their lineage…and as it so happens, my own Y-DNA has been linked
by Gary Felix’s site as a descendant of Med/Semitic – E1b1b1.
Esperanza (Chicagoland area)
This is interesting Esperanza, I have some “jewish” blood too from Chihuahua. Yes, many peopleoften confuse race with a nationality. I always hear “oh he’s dad is mexican and the mother is white”Wherein fact Mexicans can be of any race (white, black, asian, mestizo). Mexican is a nationalitynot a race. It like American is to Mexican. Within each country wherever europeans went theyleft their blood. So in each respective country youll find all type of people. My mother recalls oncewhen she immigrated in in the 1960s people did not believe she was Mexican because she was blonde. She replied “Claro que soy mexicana!” But she had to attend a “white” school, which makes everythingconfusing, one side is saying Mexicans are seperate but we see in her case? The US has slowly beencorrecting the error though. Acknolwedng the varied racial people within hispanic and latino. I alsoam iffy on the hispanic/latino term, it’s very contraversial hence why I personally do not support itwe are
all American. Apparently I am now hearng the family Falcon de la Garza are jewish? I thoughtthey were espanol, they only married once in Los Altos but the marrage did not produce children. Fromwhat I have notced the north didn’t mingle too much with the west Mexico. Occasionally youll seeso and so from Coahuila marrying so so from Jalisco but not too much. I wonder why?

Garza family is purported to have Jewish lineage, as are others who settled
in Nuevo Leon, Coahuila and Texas….but that doesn’t mean that weren’t
from Spain….just like someone here in US could have Jewish lineage, but it
doesn’t mean they aren’t from America.
I suppose immigration trends, based on different eras/periods could be
traced to familial patterns, potential of income/survival, or actual land
grants – and as such I suspect there was some co-mingling of families at
different “epocas”.
Esperanza, Chicagoland area
Well, Don Mariano seems to be speaking solely of one area in the New World, Jalisco, or Los Altos de– Still, if Altenos were of Spanish stock, they were still a mixed breed evolving from centuries of various cultures on the Iberian peninsula— Visigoth, Moorish, Judaic—My little Muslim friend in Egypt tells me that the Arabic word for rice is —- guess what?—Arroz! My Jewish friends told me that some of the hymnal music in the Catholic church is the same as in their temples. The early Spaniards could have promoted Christianity, and made the crime of apostasy punishable by death, but they brought a very mixed culture with them.
Mariano speaks of the food as being Spanish, such as “Cocido”–to the French, cocido is “Pot au Feu”, but I think that is only because basic food like soups and stews that are thrown together with whatever meat and veggies are at hand is the same all over the world and goes by different names.
I do concede that the “French” thing can be a myth in various parts of Mexico, only because the French were there in the middle of the 19th century and by then were the only people to be seen with blonde hair and blue eyes, and people not knowing that their Spanish ancestors also had those traits and passed them on.
My father for example, born in Jerez, Zacatecas, was of Basque ancestry, and he would say that he had French ancestors because his great-grandfather was called El Frances because he had light hair and blue eyes. However, in my research of his ancestry going back to the late 1600s, I don’t find a single Frenchman, or any Basque that came from France, only from Navarra. They were mostly described as Espanoles, very few Indio, and several Mulatto. So, in my family’s case, the “French” thing is a myth. However, in my mother’s New Mexican-Pueblo heritage, I see some things in that culture that hark back to Sephardic Jews, hiding in the hinterlands, professing to be Catholics and indeed, even in the late 19th century, they would still perform some rituals in secret.

Very interesting, Esperanza–
That reminds me of a lady I once knew, surnamed Cohen (her maiden name). Her father held a very high position in the Conservative Judaic community. When he died, he was buried in robes and a miter very similar to what the pope wears for special rituals, to signify his special status.

This style of hat is worn by the old people in the ranchos of our pueblo Huejuquilla El Alto, Jalisco, Mexico:
I am curious to it’s origin. It is also worn by some of the Huichole Indigenous people, but they put feathers on it.
So is it european or indigenous in origin?
I have a cousin that is researching our indigenous peoples that live in our area the Huicholes. And I am researching our european origin. So there is two of us doing research on our histories.
Some of you wrote about the French. The French were in the Zacatecas area during the Maximiliano days in the 1860’s.
When I scrolled through rolls of micro film at the Jesus Christ of Latter Days Saints Family History Center, I was browsing through the Defuntos of the mid 1800’s of Huejuquilla El Alto, Jalisco, Mexico, our pueblo.
I found one relative by the name of Pablo Madera that was listed as, “Se Murio En La Guerra.” Year 1862. What Guerra was happening in 1862?
Anyway, I met one of the political people of our pueblo who is tall, wheres a cowboy hat and he told me that his ancestors where from the french. He has two daughters that have dark redish hair and blue eyes. But they all got married.
I would say the French influence came at the time when they were present in the mid 1800’s.
Another thing, one of the other family names in our pueblo of Huejuquilla is “MONROY.”
Is that French?
In 1862 the guerra could be either guerra de la Reforma or the French intervention. The Frenchhave actually been present since the days of la Conquista. Along with Cortes, many were frenchmentrying to strike wealth in the new world. Monrroy is very Spanish not French. Hernan Cortes isalso a member of the House of Monrroy. Red hair and blue eyes can be present anywhere in Europeso its not necessarily France. A typical stereotype is red hair=irish; not true. I have a friend fromChihuahua, his last name is Renteria and is a red head.

Monroy is found all over Spain. There is a town called Monroy in
Extremadura, founded in 1309, and many people probably have their surname
due to the name of the town. The name is of French origin meaning “mi rey”
“El placentino Blas Xil de Ocampo en su manuscrito sobre el linaje de los
Monroy, Biblioteca Nacional sig. 2242 de 1650, remonta el origen de este
apellido, al igual que muchos cronistas antiguos, a los descendientes de
Vigil de Monroy.
Vigil de Monroy es un caballero francés, hijo del rey Dagoberto, que huye de
su país con sus leales para librarse de su hermano que le usurpa el trono.
Cruza los pirineos y se refugia en las montañas astures donde es acogido por
el rey Pelayo que tras ver su bravura le nombra capitán (en latín vigil),
llamándole desde entonces sus leales Vigil mon Roy (capitán mi Rey), nombre
con el que se quedaría. Fe de ello puede darnos Pedro de Gratia Dey, rey de
armas de los Reyes Católicos, en su libro de blasones a los linajes de
Castilla (año 1484), que dedicó a los Monroy las siguientes estrofas: “

To give you a better answer technically the guerra de reforma ended in 1860 when Mexico City was re-taken and most of the Conservative military had been defeated in battle. Some fighting continued in 1861 but by that time most of the country was firmly in the hands of the liberal forces of President Juarez.
The French intervention was just a continuation of the Mexican civil war, or guerra de reforma.
Anyways I just had looked this up but there was a Zacatecas division under General Jesus Gonzalez Ortega that faught at the battle of Cerro del Borrego against French troops in June 1862. This might be the battle that entry referred to, as the Mexican troops took on heavy casualties, especially their officers. Aside from that the other notable fight that took place was at Puebla although so far as I know I haven’t found any Zacatecas unit that was at that battle. If there were any from that state they were probably in the regular army.
