I recently learned that Monterrey MX was founded by Jewish conversos led by Luis de Carvajal, himself of a converso family: Among the cities in Mexico, Monterrey has a mystique all its own marked by the enduring "Jewish question" regarding its founding in 1596. The historian, Vito Alessio Robles, made the statement that "all the citizens of Monterrey are descended from Jews." Includes chapters on early prominent founders and families, Alberto del Canto, Luis de Carvajal, Gaspar Castan~o de Sosa, Diego de Montemayor, Founder of Monterrey, The Garzas of Lepe and Monterrey, Francisco Ba´ez de Benavides and the Marti´nez of Marin. ..... Michael Salinas writes: It is not only impressive work, it validates the work that has already been done by groups such as Los Bexarenos, and Spanish American Genealogy Associates in Texas. I was surprised to see the most famous names of the founders of Monterrey, all of who are my ancestors, in addition to those above, Marcos Alonso Garza, Juan Navarro, Baltazar Castano de Sosa, Blas de la Garza and Juan Bautista Chapa. These are also the progenitors of 80% of the families in Texas and the Southwestern states. It was another affirmation of my lineage. . findmyheritage.wordpress.com Interesting in that most Hispanics in the Houston area trace back to Monterrey if you go back far enough. Including some of my grandkids.
