    Loving these videos. Can’t wait to make some time to research. I have 3 names I really want to dig deep for. My Abuela’s maiden name, Rico from Purepero, Michoacán , my abuelo’s, Contreras also Purepero, Michoacán . But my last name, Salas is of much interest for me. My dad was from Bellavista, Nayarit. He has a very interesting story. His dad died when he was 3 so the Salas family took him in but then was stolen by his mom and never heard about his family until recent and he is 77 years old.

    People used to get the name of the Saint under the day they were born (i.e. Cervantes' name was Miguel because he was born the day of San Miguel ) they didn't celebrate the birthday so much but rather the day of the Saint. Still in Spain we they celebrate both Saint and Birthday days. Love your channel. Thank you

    Thank you very much for your great content! 👍 Do you happen to have any advice or would you be considering making a video in regards to how to trace your Mexican heritage? Via paperwork, I'm assuming you have to call the churches or email them or maybe some sort of national registry? There's people like me who are fluent in English and Spanish but can only trace it as far back as a great grandfather at the most.

    Here from Tiktok!! Ok, so, my great grandfather emigrated to the US in the early 1900s. His name was Joseph Galvan and was born in Aguascaliente. He never gave us any info on our ancestry. I asked my mom about why he never gave us any lineage and all he ever told her was that we're Native American and that's all we need to know. We also know he was Yaqui, but when he came to California he was basically adopted by a Paiute woman so he also claimed Paiute (according to my mom). We have such a hidden ancestry and my family is struggling finding out where we came from.

    The Filipinos introduced many cultural practices to Mexico, such as the method of making palm wine, called "tubâ",[11][12][13] the mantón de Manila,[14][15][16] the chamoy,[17] and possibly the guayabera (called filipina in Veracruz and the Yucatán Peninsula).[18] Distillation technology for the production of tequila and mezcal was also introduced by Filipino migrants in the late 16th century, via the adaptation of the stills used in the production of Philippine palm liquor (lambanog) which were introduced to Colima with tubâ.[19] Filipino words also entered Mexican vernacular, such as the word for palapa (originally meaning "coconut palm leaf petiole" in Tagalog), which became applied to a type of thatching using coconut leaves that resembles the Filipino nipa hut.[4] Various crops were also introduced from the Philippines, including coconuts,[20] the Ataulfo and Manilita mangoes,[21][22] abacá, rice, and bananas. A genetic study in 2018 found that around a third of the population of Guerrero have 10% Filipino ancestry.[3]
