Jewish Mexican Genealogy: the Origin of Three Families in Jalisco

What is the origin of Mexican Jewish genealogy? In 1492, Castile and Aragon (Spain) gave an ultimatum to the Jews: convert to Catholicism or leave. This presentation tells the origin story of three Mexican Jewish families that stayed but continued facing persecution and their voyage to the new world.

The Ashkenazi is actually Sephardic dna. And it’s much higher then it gives you. The only reason it says 4% because it’s telling you there’s Jewish dna in there but they’re unable to calculate the right percentage due to the dna being so ancient

mi tía se clavó muchísimo con la genealogía y estamos descubriendo que tenemos un montón de ancestros de los altos, más que nada en lagos de moreno y por un linaje nos llevan hasta juan gomez de portugal que es un hijo ilegitimo de un duque y una señora judía portuguesa de bragança y por otro lado, parece que también descendemos de pedro pacho por angela de velasco. nuestra familia estuvo como 300 y cacho años en los altos y sobre todo lagos siendo muy endogámicos y luego se movieron a león y silao, guanajuato, se siguieron esparciendo por el bajío y a la fecha son muy católicos

[@joseluissabori8108]

Hola, Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco fue fundado como Santa Maria de los Lagos en 1563 por espanoles y portugueses; entre estos ultimos se encontraba el Capitan Juan Gomes Behar de Portugal, quien era hijo del Quinto Duque de Beha, Luis de Aviz de Portugal y la judia conversa Violante Gomes, conocida como La Pelicana por su belleza. El que haya terminado en estas tierras un nieto del Rey Manuel I de Portugal y bisnieto, a la vez, de los Reyes de Espana, Fernando e Isabel La Catolica, se explica por su origen no crisitiano lo que seguramente le causo no pocos problemas en la corte. Su hermano mayor, tambien ilegitimo, Antonio Crato, se sintio con los derechos y disputo la corona portuguesa a su primo segundo, el Rey de Espana Felipe II, en 1580, cosa que no pudo lograr, lo que le causo el destierro de la peninsula, para morir en Francia en 1590. La persecusion a los judios en esos tiempos no fue un juego, y varios se las ingeniaron para alejarse lo mas posible de los centros de poder de la iglesia; asi agunos de los descendientes del Capitan Juan Gomez de Portugal terminaron en las cruzadas de colonizacion de Nuevo Mexico. Uno de ellos, Nicolas de Espinoza, hijo del Capitan Jose Behar Gomez y Ortiz de anda y Maria de Espinoza, se une a Juan Paez de Hurtado en 1690 en la reconquista de Santa Fe. A la fecha, muchos de sus descendientes, que portan el apellido Espinoza, se encuentran en Nuevo Mexico, Colorado y California. Mi esposa es una de ellos. Saludos.

In New Mexico there’s a lot of converso descendants.

So where did the Bañuelos surname come from? I'm very confused by the bit about the parents of Francisca (and Beatriz) de Alcocer. I thought Blanca Nuñez was their grandmother, not their mom. Can you please clarify also the Oñate/Narrihondo branch?

[@eljalisciense4052]

The Bañuelos last name comes from Baltazar Temiño de Velasco/Bañuelos, who adopted the last name from his paternal grandmother, who had ancestral roots in the town of Bañuelos de Bureba in Burgos. His firstborn (illegitimate) son, Captain Dionisio de Bañuelos, is who most people with the Bañuelos last name in Mexico descend from AFAIK.

[@aripg359]

Also, the reason many Jews and recent converts were able to come to America was because those in charge to let Spanish migrate were Jews descendants, conversos as well.

Diego Temiño de Velasco and Francisca de Alcocer had a son named Diego... but he was a dominic friar... Fray Diego de Temiño. He went back to Spain to obtain documentation about their nobility from the Temiño and Bañuelos sides for himself and his brother Baltasar who was the heir to a Mayorazgo. The Diego de Temiño/Tremiño/Treviño who was the husband of Beatriz de Quintanilla living in Mexico City during the 1500s and became the ancestor of most families in Nuevo Leon is a different Diego. They MIGHT have been related in some other way, but it's unknown at this moment.

A jewish individual got a hold of me thru familytreedna. Somehow the jewish individual is distantly related to my father. His paternal haplogroup is also m223like my fathers, so he was very intrigued that my fathers ancestors were from Ciudad Guzman (Zapotlan del Grande), Jalisco, Mexico. I told him that I have never heard my family speak about having any Jewish ancestors. My fathers ancestors surnames were Cardenas, Rodrigues and Ramirez, all from 1600's in Ciudad Guzman. The jewish individual is certain that those ancestors were likely of sephardic descent. I don't think so. I do know that my mothers maternal line has at least 4 Exploradores/Conquistadores that settled in La Provincia de Avalos. My mothers last name is Arriola, but her ancestors were Francisco "El Viejo" Martin, Diego Moreno, Pedro Moreno and other Conquistadores. We are currently researching Petrona de Avalos and possibly connected to Explorador Alonso de Avalos. Again, all of the mentioned ancestors were from La Provincia de Avalos (Sayula, Cocula and other rancherias).

Dang! Jews mixed with Mexicans! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️🤦

[@davsan315]

No... many Iberians Jews were converted to Christianity by force. They were called new Christians, together with converted Muslims. They were Jews by religion and by heritage. These new Iberian Christians moved to the new world. Some of the new Christians reverted to Judaism and most conversos did not but continued with Jewish costumes without knowledge of their origins. In the new world the new Christians were assimilated, but now we realized that most of us are descendants of these conversos. All Latinamerica has descendants of conversos, and a lot have kept Jewish customs thinking they were Spanish Christians customs.

He had a son called Don Alvaro de la Mata ( Doctor) born in Hita, Guadalajara, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain and died 1561. He married Dona Ginebra de Palenzuela y Bolanos in 1503 in Telde, Gran Canaria, Spain. Ginebra ancestry is from Burgos and her parents were Alfonso Rodríguez de Palenzuela born circa 1474 in Burgos and married Francisca Mayorga y Bolanos and her parents were Juan de Mayorga (Converso) and took part in the conquering of The Island of Lanzarote, Spain. Alfonso married Juana de Bolanos. I also have Moorish ancestors. I would love to know if my de la Mata is really de la Mota? : [e-mail]
