SoCal Meeting
I just want to express my view and comment about our recent meeting that we had in Southern California.
First of all, I offer my thanks and appreciation to Olivia Jaurequi and her husband for being such wonderful hosts. I can imagine all the hard work and preparation that it took to take care of the group. The food was delicious and plentiful. My only regret is that I started with the Mole, beans, rice, salad,and the tasty Carne Asada and by that time, I had no room for the Menudo and pan dulce! Maybe next time I'll start with the Menudo.
I got to meet my two primos, Ken Alva and Ronnie Reynoso, a couple of very nice and wonderful guys. I had previously shared information with Ken over the internet and knew that we were related. That was not the case with Ronnie until we started sharing and comparing files, we are "primos" ! What a nice surprise.
One other thing that I found out from my "new Primos" was that all three of us have a descendency line from MOCTEZUMA!
All of this just 2 days after my 65th birthday. I couldn't have asked for a better gift.
I also like to send my thanks to Rosalinda for teaching me how to improve my research skills ( I am still learning) using the IGI. She is such a knowledgeable and unselfish person, willing to share her wisdom and resources with the rest of the group.
I would recommend this type of informal meeting to the rest of the members in other parts of the country. A lot can be learned and accomplished when you are face to face with fellow members. Thanks to the other attendees for making the meeting a wonderful experience.

I hereby send a big cyber hug to Olivia Jaurequi, and Rosalinda Ruiz in appreciation for all of their efforts in putting together this grand reunion of researchers, and distant cousins. It was a pleasure flying down for the day and meeting, Deena, Charles, Olivia, Rosalinda, Peggy, Ken, Jose Luis, and John...you all have that very special connection. And to primo Joseph, a big cyber hug for establishing this group, for without you we would not be in this wonderful world of Genealogy. To primo Arturo Ramos, a big cyber hug for your creative talents in putting together the new site....much appreciated... Sincerely, Helyn de Castaneda

I came across this message on the Ancestry message forum:
http://genforum.genealogy.com/mexico/messages/8185.html
The message lists the descendancy of Moctezuma and cites the source
as John Inclan, who in turn lists Donald Chipman's book "Moctezuma's
Children, Aztec Royalty Under Spanish Rule" as his source. Does
anyone have this book? My ancestress Petrona Siordia m. Juan Padilla
in 1616 in Aguascalientes, would be a descendant of one of those
lines and I would like to know if the data is credible or why it
isn't.
