Honoring My Ancestors


Clemente Ulloa~born in 1819 in Guantajuato, Mexico. This is my great-grandmother's parents, or my second-great grandfather/grandmother. I can only tell you a few things that I do know about them. He was from Raya Rul, Guanajuato Mexico

Their names were placed on my grandfather's birth certificate, as parents of his mother. Likely his profession was being a miner in the silver mines,which are there in Guanajuato. I do know that my father's grandmother knew how to read and write, and had a very legible penmanship from some of her letters that I had seen. My grandfather had a very nice script handwriting, with a kind of flare to it.



Maxima Munoz-Ulloa~
She was from Encarnacion, Jalisco, Mexico
I also think that my second-great grandmother was an educated woman who perhaps taught her children how to read and write; she saw to it that they learned while young. Her grandson was my grandfather; he had a very beautiful handwriting. I love reading his letters. He was probably taught by his mother too. My paternal grandmother also knew how to read and write. It is something to be pleased about how their education desire was instilled in me as well. So, what little I do know, tells me they were very humble people and worked very hard in their lives. They were also honorable and righteous individuals. They appear by their clothes to be refined and have culture as if middle class or more. I know I am from a long line of worthy ancestors. They chose/agreed to come to earth when they did, since they made it possible for me to have the blessings I have now, to live in America and worship my religion freely. God bless them, and America!!

P.S. I had the opportunity to download some of these pictures and was excited to post them here on my blog entry for today.
