Maria de la Fuente Zertuche was my husband's (Simon Garza, III) great-grandmother. Maria Guadalupe Narro b. 16 May 1898 and Simon de la Garza b. 1892 Villaladama, Nueva Leon, Mexico, were his grandparents.

Re: Narro and Zertuche

jaimedina — 2010-09-02 02:52:42Z

Felix and Jose...
You are both my cousins! Some more digging has turned up that my great-great-grandmother Maria Zertuche de la Fuente was indeed first married to Julio Aureliano Narro Zertuche, who had Virigina, Guadalupe, INES, and Aureliano Jr. And Maria's father, Indalecio Zertuche, was the brother of your great-grandmother, Altagracia, Felix! My PAF relationship calculator has decided we're 3rd cousins, twice removed. :)

I didn't know who his parents were (our shared ancestors), and couldn't find them, so THANK YOU SO MUCH for letting me know. Please contact me at jaihawk@hotmail.com, because I'd love to know more. I also live in San Antonio!

Re: Narro and Zertuche

jaimedina — 2010-09-02 02:09:54Z

Hi Jose,

Clearly, you have lots of info on Zertuches! I'm looking for information on the Zertuche thread in my family, which I'm excited to find is probably connected to yours. My great-great-grandmother was Maria Zertuche de la Fuente, who became Maria Zertuche Enderle when she married my g-g-grandfather, Baltazar Enderle. On her death certificate, it says she was born in Mexico around 1885 to Indalecio Zertuche and Juana de la Fuente. Family history says that she was married once (and widowed) before she married my g-g-grandfather, to a rich man from Spain whose last name was Narro, with whom she had 4 children. I think 3 of their names may have been Virginia, Guadalupe, and Agnes. Do you have any information about any of this, or Maria's parents or grandparents? I'd be delighted to find any help or connections you can provide.
Thanks!
Jai

Hola Primo:

Le he seguido todo el tiempo con el arbol genealógico, ya tengo un enredo bastante bueno ya que mi abuelo Humberto Villarreal y mi abuela Lupe de la Fuente son parientes en varios grados.

El parentezco entre tu y yo es el siguiente:
Nuestro bisabuelo fue José David de la Fuente Barrera casado con Ecliceria Rodríguez Cantú.
El hijo mayor fue Jesús de la Fuente Rodríguez, y la última hija fue Guadalupe de la Fuente Rodríguez.

Jesús de la Fuente Rodríguez y Carolina Lobo Goribar tienen a Carolina de la Fuente Lobo.
Guadalupe de la Fuente Rodríguez y Humberto José Villarreal Zertuche tienen a Sylvia Guillermina Villarreal de la Fuente.

Carolina de la Fuenet Lobo y Felix Cerna Villarreal tienen a Felix Cerna de la Fuente.
Sylvia Guillermina Villarreal de la Fuente y José Ramón Suárez Rotter tienen a José Humberto Suárez Villarreal.

Ahi esta nuestro parentezco, somos primos segundos.

Por cierto, ¿Cómo esta tu mamá? Espero que bien. Mi mamá fue a Monclova antes de que muriera mi tía Elena, pero ya no fue al funeral.

Tenemos otros parentescos, por ejemplo que viene por el Cerna pero te lo paso por email sale?

Cudiate, saludos
José Humberto Suárez Villarreal

Re: Narro and Zertuche

cernafc — 2009-05-27 01:33:08Z

Hola primo,

Ahorita precisamente le estaba preguntando a mi mama por telefono sobre el parentesco, ella pensando que tu eras Villarreal-de la Fuente, hijo de Lupe de la Fuente. A ver si me aclaras.
Tengo anos de no trabajar en el arbol genealogico. Le has adelantado?

Saludos,

Felix Cerna de la Fuente

Hi, I think you misunderstood me. I never mentioned Indalisco, but Indalecio and it is not a place but a name.

I posted the information 7 years ago and I have made a great advance in my research. What surnames or places are you researching?

My father was George Aureliano Narro son of Aureliano Narro. He was born in 1926 in Edinburgh Scotland and was not the love-child of an american sailor - his mother was married to the sailor - I have the marriage certificate. He died 18th August this year and I feel you need to amend your records.

She is in her 60's Silvia Zertuche, and had many brothers and sisters, one of which she is looking for in particular (Patrice). Do you think you can help me?

Re: Narros

mnarro_1 — 2007-04-09 15:24:13Z

Kathleen I too was informed same story re: 2 brothers leaving Spain & travelling to Mexico. In fact my 1/2 brothers (the 1 you mention in your book in Scotland) travelled to France & found the ruins of the Narro Castle in Nyer France.

Re: Narros

mnarro_1 — 2007-04-09 15:18:26Z

I am wondering if you are the young lady I met while in Saltillo doing some research on the family. I met with a couple who are friends with the author of the book on the Narro's & a young lady was there who said she too was a Narro relative. I purchased the book from the hall of records while there with my sister in Saltillo about 2 yrs ago. Problem is all in spanish & some of my family history out of context in it. I am last daughter of Aureliano Narro, married to Veronica Atwood.

Hi I was tld many yrs ago any1 with the name spelt as such is related. I am in Pa & have same surname. If interested please get Kathleen Alcala's books & latest one of The Desert Remebers my name has lots of information. So I presume in some way if your last name is spelt same somehow we are related.

Re: Crypto-Jews

mnarro_1 — 2007-04-09 15:10:46Z

Kathleen: I too am a Narro & have read your 2 books thus far of Ordinary Spirits & The desert Remembers..... I am no looking for the referrence book you mention "A thread in the Tapestry....." Can't seem to find it. A while ago you met with my brother Art in Va. & you mention in the Desert my 1/2 brother George in Scotland. As you I am seeking family history as my dad, Aureliano Narro, married to Veronica Atwood, died soon after my birth. Can you please let me know where I can purchase the book or respond to this posting. TY

Re: Narro

lavenderpeony1 — 2007-04-08 21:07:03Z

LOL INDEED! What were the odds for that happening again?

GREAT! Oh, yes, indeed...a reunion would be great...Simon's mom and dad have passed away, but he has a sister in Fort Worth and a daughter and grandchildren in Georgetown, TX and a son in Florida.

My new email is lavenderpeony@cox.net.

If I EVER get my income tax done to take to the CPA, I'll be glad to copy anything we have in those bulging files on Sy's family to share with you.

We'll stay in touch. Happy Easter! Hugs, Midge

In fact I forwarded information to Art & Ronnie about the site for futher query since they are the research buffs. Although while in Saltillo, I did find a lot of information on the heritage. HMMMMMMM wouldn't a Narro reunion be great??? ok please keep in touch if you so desire. TY too for your timely responses.

Marge (Margaret Maria Narro as named after my mom & dad's mothers)

Re: Narro

lavenderpeony1 — 2007-04-06 16:47:03Z

THANK you so much for the great, newsy reply. Interestingly, in my husband's (Simon, III after his father and grandfather)notes from his conversation with Art, there was a line about a "reunion in Mexico..."

Regarding the Jewish connection...I am a former newspaper reporter, then retired at home to write for children...one of the topics I did research on for a story that I wanted to do was about the "Spanish Jews."

The Jews were expelled from Spain (one of their MANY expulsions thoroughout history) by Isabella I (1451-1504), Queen of Castile, called la Católica ("the Catholic") and her husband Ferdinand of Aragón, known also as Ferdinand V, The Catholic. Isabella and her husband (known together as "the Catholic kings") are remembered for completing the reconquest of Spain from the Moors, for initiating the Inquisition, and for their ruthless expulsion of the Spanish Jews.

I often have told Simon that research will find that he has some Jewish history...btw, you might find this Web site interesting: http://www.sefarad.org/publication/lm/011/texas.html

You mentioned "Blanche." Blanche was the wife of my husband's uncle, Caesar Garza.

We have Xerox copies of a lot of some of the ancestors if you would like to have copies of them.

Btw, way back when I was really doing research, I had email exchange with Margaret Maria Narro...2001...back then, her email was brooklyngb@.....is that your sister in NY?

Do you happen to know relative Linda Looney?

How can we email privately?

Have a great weekend....so nice to hear from you.

Thanks.

Midge

Again, it is so good to hear from you.

Re: Narro

mnarro_1 — 2007-04-06 13:54:39Z

Yes those are my siblings: Arthur (Art); Lupe; Veronica (Ronnie name after my mom); Aureliano (Al named after daddy) then me. There is also George in Scotland. Art had said he had been in touch with "Blanche" & yes I too have photos of the family from mexico. Ronnie & I travelled to Saltillo 2 yrs ago & went to hall of records for data. We purchased the book on the Narro's & copied some of the records. Of course all are in spanish so some difficult to translate. My HS spanish was little help. lol Ronnie had gone there mainly for religious gathering & we also attended a service & the Methodist church that supposedly was founded by a Narro & Ronnie was asked to speak @ the service, of course with translator as her spanish is as minimal as mine. It was quite enlightening! The Narro name is well known there & we visited the Agricultural University of Narro which even the Ave. leading to the Univ. is called Narro. We met with A professor @ the Univ. who was able to translate some of the documents. She had recommeded we stop in the school archives & search for more, but @ the time we were there the record room was closed. We also found a cousin who owned a converted Hacienda to a hotel & on the premises was a church. Ronnie thought was a good idea if @ some point we could gahter all the family & have reunion there. Of course that never came to pass. In the phone directory there were a lot of Narro's but the people seemed very hesitant on sharing information.

I also met a couple who knew the author of the Narro family book & while @ their house met a young lady who was also related. I believe she said her mom was a Narro. Yet again reluctancy in revealing information as I presume there hesitation was why these 2 Americans were searching????

We even road through the country side as there is supposedly a Hacienda built in the mountains to replicate the castle in Nyer on the border of Spain & France(that was the Narro's castle). We could not find it & again the people were reluctant to give out information. Oh & I have photo of Simon's marriage as my mom & dad were his witnesses to the wedding. My Knowledge of the family is fragmented since Daddy died weeks after my birth & with his family in Tx. there wasn't much communication after his death. I do recall my mom saying though that Simon was a "card" (funny nice gentleman) & I believe Blanche had plenty of information from Simon but again communications broke down. My siblings relay some stories yet to hear or know 1st hand of daddy's family & my heritage is an aching in my heart. That is why I purchased Kathleen Alcala's books. The 1st book I read was "Spirits of the Ordinary" where it discusses a family who practiced Judism in secrecy & the son was prospector of Gold. In reading her book after that, "The Desert Remembers My Name" she describes how her stories are pieced together from Family story telling & research on the Narro family, as she too is related. In fact this book tells much of the family connection. So if you are interested order her books & see if that enlightens or if things make sense. In this book she mentions (not by name) about my 1/2 brother in Scotland. Also through her book si how I located this site as she mentions it in the book for finding relatives & connecting. I guess we all in some form want to connect & know of our heritage... I am glad that I linked into this site yet @ same time find it adding to my lack of family knowledge & connecting. Yes Art too was in communication with Michael in Calif. who also sent Art again more information (again in spanish) of the family & a photo from a page in some Univ. records of the Narro family crest. Amazing how the family crest has the picture of the Nyer castle & on the four corners of the castle is the jewish star of David. Makes you wonder... or @ least makes me wonder Yet for yrs I had said even though raised catholic felt because Jesus was Jewish we are all Jewish... does that make sense???? Anyway hope to keep in touch this way & maybe help each other on the site connect to our roots & rich heritage. As in the book on the Narro's, even though in spanish, you can see where the Narro;s are influential in the art world; writers; poets; creative people & influential in number of ways (not necessarily monetary influential but inspiring).

Re: Narro

lavenderpeony1 — 2007-04-06 02:54:27Z

Thank you so much for your contact....We've not done any of research on Simon's family in many years....you all are definitely cousins. Arthur Narro, Sr. sent some information back in 1994.

Arthur told us at that time that there was a family history published two years before (1992?) published in Mexico. I am trying to read Simon's handwriting...it is notes rather than an actual word-for-word conversation....so I am not sure what all this means, but you will.

"Margie" (Margaret); "AL" Aureliano; "Ronny" Veronica; Lupe; Arthur.

He said the Narro's came in at New Orleans.

Elias in San Antonio has information. Mike Narro in Oakland, CA. (?)

Again, thanks so much for the connection.

It is very exciting after all these years....I got out our bulging files on Sy's family....I simply must get them organized and put into a scrapbook for safe keeping.

Re: Narro

mnarro_1 — 2007-04-06 01:41:13Z

Lupe Narro is my dad's sister & name of my living sister. Dad was Aureliano & died 1953 shortly after my birth. My mom spoke of Simon. I am in Pa and still have Narro surname as does my sisters. One in NY the other name sake in NJ.

Re: Narro

mnarro_1 — 2007-04-05 04:10:28Z

This is for Kathleen Alcala or Midge Garza: I am reading "the desert Remembers My Name" & note referrence to my 1/2 brother in Scotland. I am the youngest daughter of Aureliano Narro & Veronica Atwood. 2 years ago my sister & I travelled to Saltillo to search the hall of records & again find connection to our heritage. We visited the Univ. of Agriculture. Seeing as my dad died weeks after my birth & with the family all in Tx. region, I have no connection to my roots. That is why I am reading Kathleen's books & purchased the book on the Narro family while visiting in Mexico. Found a cousin who owns a hotel not far from the Univ. So any information that can be shared would be great. By the way I do recall my mom speaking of Simon. TY

Re: Narro

lavenderpeony1 — 2007-01-14 01:12:54Z

David,

If you are still researching Narro, please reply.

My husband whose grandmother was Lupe Narro who married Simon Garza (my husband is Simon Garza, III), doesn't really do family research, so I am trying to help him out, but we've been out of "commission" for a few years now, trying to start up again.

Re: Narros

2005-12-01 20:07:34Z

My grandad owned it, I'm pretty sure. I remember a big black book with the word "Narro" in white text on the top sitting on his bookshelf.

Anyways, I'm a Narro. My Grandad was born in Saltillo, and as far as I know, we trace all the way back to Spain. We only have one boy in our family-My sister and I are going to lose our name with marriage-and I hope he marries and has a lot of little boys.

I was born in Temple, Texas. We moved to Tennessee when I was 7, and have been here ever since. I hope to move back to Texas someday, because no matter how many positive things people tell me about Tennessee, Texas will always be my home.

Take care! Adios!

Re: Narro

Zertuchegeneology — 2004-03-24 15:55:02Z

I think I may have found something. Write me and I will tell you more. Or, look under Multiple Ownership Haciendas in any search engine. I remember seeing Zertuche and Narro in the same article. I think it was the University of Arizona Press, Saltillo, 1770-1810 Multiple Ownership. It could be on the ownership of Water on Multiple Ownership Haciendas.
