Saldaña, "The Rio Grande Settlers: A Family History, 1577-1848," CESTA @ Stanford
CESTA Spring 2020 Seminar Series, May 19th
Dr. Marie Saldaña joins CESTA to present:
"The Rio Grande Settlers: A Family History, 1577-1848"
The lower Rio Grande valley was the locus of a Spanish colonization effort in the mid-18th century that planted the seeds of Hispanic presence in South Texas. Civilian settlers from closely related families were drawn to the new colony of Nuevo Santander from surrounding areas of northeastern Mexico, where they had lived for centuries. Lured by new land grants along the Rio Grande and in the “wild horse desert” below the Nueces river, they occupied a frontier that had not yet become a borderland and brought with them a well-established Spanish ranching tradition. This early-stage study uses digital methods to understand the origins of the families who settled in the Villas del Norte; to uncover their relationships with each other and to the early history of northeastern New Spain; and to identify their legacy in the increasingly at-risk material culture of the region’s architecture.

I'm also a descendant of Don Diego Montemayor. We're also decendemts of Lorenzo Onate son of the infamous first governor of New Mexico Juan Onate and his wife Isabel Montezuma great great grand daughter of Aztec King Montezuma, you may also be related to Lorenzo Onate he had hundreds of not thousands of descendents in Nuevo Leon and Coahuila/Tejas he settled in the 1500s or early 1600s.
Onate's expedition did not end in failure. While it is true that Onate himself left in 1609 after being banished from New Mexico for his treatment of the natives and his own people; up to 50 soldiers and their families remained. The present-day city of Santa Fe was established by 1610. The descendants of the people that remained make up the majority of the Hispanic population in New Mexico today.
My family from now San Diego Tx before 1800. Before 1900’s Texas Rangers terrorized lost land. Became homeless never recovered generational wealth
Any updates?
The Balli our the original first settlers recorded, everybody else came after, makes no sense how they try so hard to cover the first settlers.
These are all my ancestors ... your "gringo/anglo" pronunciations offends me. Learn how to correctly pronounce Spanish names of towns, cities and surnames!

You would be mad if someone asked a Mexican to speak English right

Did you not hear her name? Get over yourself. Spaniards are technically gringos aka white. It's an accent. Do you speak all languages perfectly with no accent?
