Hi my name is Lynda Chavez and I must have made a mistake when I posted my introduction, I think that I only sent a link to one of my family lines. I have been working on some of my family lines and there are so many that I was hoping that others would have some connections to some of my ancestors. On my grandmothers side we are linked to Avila and Macias from Encarnacion de Diaz, Jalisco. It was only until the last several years in doing some family tree searches that I discovered that many (more than we thought) family members traveled to Jerome, Arizona from this area to work in the mines. I am a 4th generation of those ancestors to still be here, but many moved due to the mine shutting down in the mid 1900's. These are the families that traveled to Jerome, My great grandparents Andrea (Macias)& Santiago Avila who came with two infant daughters Refugia & Beatrice. An older sister Conception stayed behind and married a man with the last name Delgado. I know there is one relative from that line in Encenada, and the rest are now in San Diego. There were several children from this family and I think that she had grandchildren who were blind, but I heard sang beautifully. Santiago had a brother Isidro who apparently left Jerome and may have been killed in the war. He married Panfila Hernandez. Andrea had several brothers and sisters, Leonides who married Victoria Frausto, Enstanslao, Marciana, German, Castula, Cirilo, Eusebio, Sabina & Romulo. Jose and Romulo Macias came to Jerome. There parents were Crecencio Macias and Maria Jiminez. There were also other family relatives that traveled to Jerome by the names of Jiminez, Rosendo De la Cruz,Garcia, Romo(the Romo's moved to the Bisbee, Arizona area). I'm sure more will show up, I was just hoping some of you out there will notice a connection.

Lynda,
My grandparents and other family members (Gutierrez) went to Miami, Arizona. My grandparents returned to Jalostotitlan, but some of their cousins stayed in Miami. We have lost contact with those who remained in Miami. Good luck with your search.
