"Rangel" surname of Mezquitic, Jalisco, Mexico????
I have seen someone from Mezquitic, Jalisco, Mexico with the surname "Rangel."
Does that go far back to the colonial days of Mezquitic and is that spanish?

I know my mom had cousins with that last name, she used to mention her cousin Salvador Rangel, but I don’t know how far back that name goes. I haven’t been able to make a connection. My mom was Pacheco Sanchez from Mezquitic.
I would assume that the majority of the Rangel's descend from the conquistador Alonso Rangel de Loaiza who came from Spain in the early part of the 16th century.
