On our Gomez Moreno connection, I vaguely remember that my father once told me about Maria Gomez and Felipe Arreola. My father and I recently saw a photo on facebook of Aurelio Arreola, whom he calls uncle. He’s related to you, right? I’m not so sure your date on Urbano Gomez’s death is correct. I have his death certificate issued in Guadalajara that says he died on April 7, 1930. My father says he had a charcoal business in Guadalajara. One day, he was robbed and he got so upset that he died “de un coraje” as the family used to say. Do you know about this story? Indeed, my great grandmother Elena Curiel lived a long life. She was born in Atenguillo in 1900, and died in the year 2000, a month or two after the family celebrated her 100th birthday. Even though I was not there, I have some photos of the mass her children gave her for her 100th birthday.
By the way, if any of the moderators read this message, I remember I was told that after making a direct contact with someone else, we should continue with the message exchange through private emailing, but I wanted to leave these messages on Nuestros Ranchos, hoping that some other primo doing a site search in the future finds this and we keep expanding our family tree. Thanks, Joseph, Arturo, and all the volunteers for all you have done for us.
Saludos.
I sent you a private message yesterday using the option “contact” under your Personal Information page. I’m not sure if the message goes to your email address or to a dedicated folder into your personal account. You mentioned that you sent me a private message. Where and how do I check for that message. I’ve been looking thru the whole website and can’t seem to find how to check for PM’s. I do not have a Facebook account. Please advise
I did not receive any message in my email inbox. I suspect the contact form on nuestros ranchos is not working right. If you want to message me directly, my email is estebanico82@yahoo.com . You should sign in for a facebook account. If interested, mine is https://www.facebook.com/estebanico82

Hi Gilberto, I noticed that we could be related. As well as Steve Apodaca (to whom i have been in contact for a long time), I research in the same area of Zacoalco and Sta Catarina, where my grand father was born and most of my/his ancestrors come from. I noticed we have some lastnames in common. Please contact me so we can compare. I`d be glad to share. My grand father was a TOSCANO, and I also have info, between my lines, the Castillo, Quiñones and Bonal. Some other lastnames I have some info like: Ramirez, Arreola, Govea.
If interested please contact me.
Greetings
ALESSANDRO
Hello Alessandro,
My mothers great grandfather Camilo Arriola (b. July 1838, Sta Catarina) was a Toscano thru his mother Maria Severa Toscano
(b. Nov. 1802, Sta. Catarina). Maria Severa Toscano was married to Jose Sebero Arriola Quinones (b. Nov 7, 1800, Sta. Catarina). My fathers great grandfather Jose Maria Ramirez Arriola (b. August 1856, Sta. Catarina) was married to my great great grandmother Maria Ysabel Castillo Hernandez (b. Nov 6, 1858 Sta. Catarina) who was the daughter of Ygnacio Castillo Valdes (b. Oct 15, 1818). Ygnacio Castillo was the son of Luis Antonio Castillo Bonal (b. June 11 1775, Sta Catarina) who was the son of Francisco Castillo and Lionisia(Dionisia) Bonal. Steve and I share great(x6) grandpa Francisco Bonal(1723) and he was the father of my great(x5) grandma Lionisia Bonal (b. April 1749) and his great(x…)grandma Gertrudis Aniceta Bonal (b. April 1765). Lionisia Bonal marries into the Castillo blood line and Gertrudis Bonal marries into Apodaca blood line. Steve and I share more recent last names. We share our great great grandpa Jesus Gomez and great great grandma Maria Ysac Moreno. Steve provided me with a PDF on the Bonal blood line. It is very detailed and I was able to discover where the Bonals came from and dates that I did not have. Steve was able to show me the link between Lionisia Bonal and Gertrudis Aniceta Bonal. Thanks Steve. I have traced my Ramirez ancestors to Ciudad Guzman (Zapotlan el Grande) and have hit a road block. I am also a Govea thru my grandmother Maria Guadalupe Govea Veronica and have researched the Govea’s back to my great(x3)grandpa Luz Govea. My mother is an Arreola Govea and my father is a Ramirez Ramirez. It strikes me that we do not know each other considering the last names that we share. I will greatly appreciate any information that you can provide me. I am very interested in the history of Sta. Catarina so if you have any stories please feel free to share them with me. Let me know if I can email you more details on the info that I have on Ramirez, Arreola, Govea, and Castillo last names. Again, special thanks to my cousin Steve Apodaca for introducing another cousin. Welcome to the family.
Alessandro, your ancestor Jose Luis Toscano was my great great great grandmother Maria Severa Toscano Gutierrez brother. Their parents were Jose Leonardo Toscano and Maria Gertrudis Gutierrez.
