Possible Presentation on Codices of Mexico

I would be interested. I began my acquisition of copies of codeces with a gift from the Ex-Consul Gen. of Mexico, José Ángel Pescador. His son lives in Los Angeles and I am sure we can also reach out to him.The head of the Latin American museum of art in Long Beach is also a good friend of mine.he may have access to this material plus any artwork.maybe a conference can be set up where many other people can be invited. It is a fascinating subject.

I've always found the codices fascinating and would love to hear an expert explain what they mean. Are there around 50 members in the L.A. area who would be interested, as well? Please speak up, people!

I was later told by another researcher that the viceroy had a half-sister named Isabel Hurtado de Mendoza, who appears in the genealogy of many people from the Los Altos area. Although I have never been able to substantiate this claim, it left me very intrigued. The researcher who shared that information with me could not remember who had shared that information with him.
