Re: Busco a mi abuelo Juan Mata Navarrete

Si tuvo o no familia en México antes de 1960, no lo sé. En los años sesenta vivía solo, dentro del propio plantel de la escuela. Era conserje y vigilante. Yo no conservo fotos de él ni las he visto.
Mata usaba ropa modesta y casi nunca se quitaba el sombrero. Con frecuencia no se afeitaba y esto, aunado al hecho de que mantenía en los labios un cigarrillo sin filtro, le daba un aspecto que intimiada un poco. No era un hombre educado ni tenía paciencia para lidiar niños y por ello, a veces, perdía los estribos, gritaba palabrotas y, ocasionalmente, le daba a alguien un tortazo. Sin embargo, tenía ratos buenos en los que nos platicaba sus experiencias en la guerra, que a veces combinaba con sus aventuras galantes.
Según él, una tarde que andaba franco y fue a visitar a una mujer, estaba en ello cuando llegaron los franquistas y le gritaron "Juan Mata Navarrete, ¡date preso!" Entonces él les respondió: "¡Vengan por mí! ¡Tengo dos bombas de mano y os las arrojaré aunque muera yo!"
La escuela no se portaba nada bien con Mata. Es cierto que el Instituto no nadaba en dinero pero la verdad es que Mata vivía en condiciones de extrema limitación. De los muchos españoles que conozaco que recibieron asilo político en 1937,creo que Juan Mata Navarrete fue de los que menos suerte tuvieron.
Al final de 1970, la escuela se mudó a su actual edificio y luego supimos que no pensionaron a Mata y que él —lamento decirlo— murió solo y en extrema pobreza. Cualesquier exalumnos del Instituto, de aquellas generaciones, pueden dar cuenta de esto.
Creo que eso es todo lo que sé.

Muchas gracias, creo que me has puesto sobre la pista correcta. Me he llevado una gran sorpresa.
He hablado con mi padre y los pocos datos que el tiene coinciden. Se que nació en 1898. Por favor, si tienes más datos, si estaba casado, hijos, alguna foto, etc., te ruego me lo hagas saber.
He enviado un E-mail al instituto Luis Vives solicitando información.

Muchas grácias de nuevo y un fuerte abrazo.

Re: Busco a mi abuelo Juan Mata Navarrete

efmlimon — 2011-06-19 03:37:29Z

Conocí a Juan Mata Navarrete en 1960. Él era empleado del Instituto Luis Vives, Colegio Español de México, fundado en 1939. Me refiero a la ciudad de México. La última vez que lo vi fue en el año 1970. Ya era viejo. Tenía lesionados ambos pies porque —contaba él— se los fracturaron cuando fue combatiente en la Guerra Civil. A finales de 1971 supimos (los alumnos) que había fallecido. Seguramente los familiares podrán obtener más información en las oficinas del Instituto, que está en la Av. Benjamín Franklin núm. 38, colonia Escandón, 11800 México, D.F., teléfono [52-55)-5515-4046.

I'm looking for information on Benigno Geagiro Mata, born Feb 1865 in Mexico and died 19 Aug 1911. On the Census forms I've found it says that he came to San Antonio Texas in 1889 or 1890, and that both his parents were from Mexico. He was married to Augustina Postel Perez Rocha, and their children were Alfredo, Micaelita, Tomas, and Catarino. I'm having trouble finding any information on who Benigno Mata's parents were.

Re: MAYBE WE ARE RELATED

juanmmatam — 2010-02-21 19:28:24Z

Eduardo,

There is a very good chance that we are related. My granfather Juan Mata Olvera was actually from San Felipe, which is near Leon. A very well know mexican singer Pedro Vargas (Mata)[a cousin of my granfathere] was born in San Miguel Allende which is of course also within 100 miles from Lagos, Leon and San Felipe. I found the marriage certficate of my greatgrandfather Albino Mata back circa 1885. Some og brothers of my granfather are Felipe, Refugio, Petra, Francisco and Luis

I had my DNA analysis and if u r interested I can sent it.

As shared born in Mex City but living in San Diego since 2003.

Kind rgds

Juan

Re: Mata

fgarciatree — 2009-05-03 09:45:24Z

Daisy,
I really appreciate your concern in regards to the Mata surname from San Luis. What I know is that her name was Estanislada Mata or Matta born around 1878. Also that she came from Michoacan with three other sisters one of them was Epifania Mata. My mother claimed that my grandmother was Italian, therefore she could have migrated to Nueva Italia in Michoacan. She married Crispin Coronado he was born in 1877, his Ancestors had a Land grant from Spain, they called it Hacienda de los Coronado near Real de Catorce. They had 7 boys & girls, my mother's name was Arcadia Coronado. Respond if you find this ifo. useful. frank garcia
