Hello Yvonne, I think we are related but not on the Oropeza side. If your grandma was Soledad Cermeno, then she was my aunt (sister to my father Jose).

Hi my maiden name is Monica Oropeza. Yes there are 2 towns Oropesa in Spain. One on the east coast and the other close to Toledo. I have been to both. I have a large family tree (connected to over 45 million entries). We are decendants from the town Oropeza in Spain (the one close to Toledo).

Pacheco’s from Puebla or surrounding area

pachecoike — 2010-02-20 20:08:40Z

Hello,

My name is Isac James Pacheco Jr. I've been told that ALL Pacheco's originally came from Puebla. I've yet to confirm this, but I was wondering if in your research, you've come across any Pacheco's?

My grandparents migrated to the U.S. around 1910, entering Texas through Laredo and eventually settling in Fort Worth, Texas where they raised 11 children.

My grandfather Fernando Pacheco (1885-1973) was born in Tanchicuin, Veracruz (near Panuco) and his father Domingo Pacheco is where the trail starts to cool off. No records yet on Fernando, Domingo or Domingo's wife Francesca Gomes(z).

Could you please help? I would appreciate it very much and I would be willing to assist you in any way I can.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Sincerely,

Isac James Pacheco Jr.

Hi, we are not from the same Oropezas, but our Uncles are GREAT FRIENDS and they even used to called my grandma Aunt. You must be related to Ruben Oropeza, Victor Manuel "El Gordo" and Miguel Oropeza? I am also related to Veronica, Ligia and Ramiro Magaña Oropeza, but from the Magaña side. My aunt Maria Elena is from the same Oropeza's as the above. Her husband is my mothers brother. I was in Newman in May and got a chance to visit with Ruben, he is very good friend with my husband, we had not seen each others for like 18 yrs...WOW...since we graduated from High School in Tangas.
