Historia de el tio Timoteo Fregoso

La historia de don Ambrosio me hizo recordar la siguiente historia de mi abuelo: "Mi tío Timoteo Fregoso que conocí en Tena en 1866 era matador de cerdos, velero y cohetero! El fué a vivir a Autlàn donde murió. Su esposa Doña Trinidad Santana (otro Santana) era hermano de Agapito, rico hacendado de aquella región. Antes de irse para allá, estando el coronel Antonio Rojas en Tena de paso para Mascota para ir a pelear con el general Remigio Tovar, le hizo a Rojas cinco gruesas de cohetes de luz. Tovar se remontó en el cerro del Cabro y sitiado por Rojas, los cohetes sirvieron tirarlos de noche y darse cuenta si bajaban los soldados de Tovar al llano para perseguirlos a la luz de los cohetes; pero el general Tovar ayudado por 700 indios de Manuel Lozada rompió el sitio y quedó burlado el coronel Rojas.

Mi amigo Rafael Flores hizo el siguiente comentatario. Seguro Rojas no le pagó los cohetes. Hasta la fecha se emplea la frase "prestamos de Rojas" para indicar un préstamo que nunca se paga. Mi abuelo despreciaba a la gente floja si era expresion comun d enuestras abuelas : "me gustara a mi la gente floja" por eso la expresion de decirle a lguien sin ocupacion: ponte aunque sea descular hormigas



de hecho entre nuestra gente decir te lo carranceaste? es decir te lo robaste?

Don Ambrosio.wps

My Uncle Malaquias Fregoso

I have vague memories of Malaquias Fregoso. He was my baptism godfather. He would come to visit my family while we lived in Mexico City. My memory is that of a tall person, always dressed in three-piece suits and walking with the assistance of a cane, with a Doberman carved in the handle. He would bring me a bag a fruit, almost always my favorite, luscious plums. Shortly after my parents passed away, I found an old picture of Malaquias. It depicts a tall gentleman, with a young gal and a lady. Now, the dedication in the back of the picture reads: It is with love that I dedicate this picture of my parents to my dear aunt Maximiana (my paternal grandmother) as they celebrate their fortieth wedding anniversary. I assume the adult lady is Nicolasa Madrigal, Malaquias' wife. Signed by Eliza. My genealogical research indicates Eliza to be one of the Fregoso family. Eliza's siblings were Atanasia, Felipe, Jovita, Alfredo, and Roberto. As a side note, I met my cousin Atanasia when I wa...

DNA Results

 I have been thinking about doing a DJNA test as to ascertain my genealogical origins. I selected FamilyTreeDNA as the laboratory to conduct such test. I started by requesting a Y chromosome study, which means the chromosome that is passed from father to son. Here are some results: My Haplogroup is J-Z631. My understanding as a lay person is that Haplogroup refers to a genealogical tree branch. According to FamilyTreeDNA my paternal line was formed when it branched from the ancestor J-Z8421, and the rest of mankind, around 1900 BCE.  The man who is the most recent common ancestor of this line is estimated to have been born around 950 BCE (FamilyTreeDNA.) He is the ancestor of at least six descendant lineages known as J-Y87605, J-Z1043, J-Y144394, J-BY178901, J-FT101890, and J-PH9933. There are 793 DNA tested descendants whose earliest known origins are from Germany, United States, England and 46 other countries. Descendants of J-Z631 (my Haplogroup) are from these countries: S...

What is this Blog About?

What I want to talk about is the content of this blog. My original intent is to convey some of the history of who I am and where I come from. I do this by providing some data that was originally written by my grandfather and the long conversations I had with my dearly departed father and mother regarding our family history. The other topic I want to cover is the wonderful journey that I have traveled as an immigrant to the United States for fifty-five years. I am so interested in the cultural differences of my country of birth in contrast to the values and mores of the people of this country; it is a fascinating subject. What has encouraged me so much to excel, regardless of my economic condition, is the number of Americans who have mentored me and encouraged me to attain my goals. My gratitude to Bill Baker, my long- time friend and mentor. I also include some information regarding DNA test results that might clarify some the information that I provide in this blog. I ho...
