Guachichil Tribal Claim - I am Juancholoa
Update*** Please watch: https://youtu.be/RZ9D6oiUCWo I joined the Guachichil Nation in San Luis Potosi due to respectfully approaching them with my genealogy research and a desire to reconnect. I am beyond lucky. I had thought the nation to be extinct, but I was completely wrong. My genealogy research far exceeds what I have below. I have found 69 full blooded native ancestors total and most of my branches lead to Guachichil territory. I leave the original description as evidence of how far I continued to research past this. Original Description: I have 23 indigenous ancestors I have found in Guachichil territory. They come from the areas of Mazapil, Zacatecas; Armadillo de Los Infantes, San Luis Potosi; Mexquitic de Carmona, San Luis Potosi; Bocas, San Luis Potosi; and Venaditos, San Luis Potosi. Primarily, Armadillo de Los Infantes and Mexquitic de Carmona are known to have been smaller towns pertaining almost exclusively to Guachichiles. I have two ancestors that are clearly stated to be of Armadillo de Los Infantes: Joseph Esteban 1751 (indio) & Maria de la Concepcion 1741 (india). Though ,it should be mentioned the vast bulk of my ancestors were baptized/married in Armadillo de Los Infantes. They come from “Venaditos”, Diccionario Geografico by Garcia Cubas Volumes 4-5; Venaditos is a town in the municipal of Iturbide, present day Villa de Hidalgo, SLP – also almost exclusively Guachichil territory. My strongest evidence for my tribal claim is my 7th great aunt, Raphaela de Los Angeles, in her baptismal record of 1720. There it lists her and my 7th great grandparents, Leonardo Salinas & Maria Josepha, as natives of the village of Mexquitic de Carmona. In this particular book, the priest differentiated the natives based off origin; my ancestors were clearly emphasized to belong to that specific village. This indexed record popped up as a related record to Antonia de Santiago, my 7th great aunt’s marriage record in 1746, & my 6th great grandparents’ marriage record of 1758 – both of aforementioned events taking place in Armadillo de Los Infantes. Finally, a book titled Guachichiles & Franciscanos by Lucas Martinez Sanchez, talks of a group of Guachichiles called “of the Salinas”. This area is in what today is known as “Salinas de Hidalgo, San Luis Potosi”. The significance is that many of my ancestors have the Salinas as their last name, supporting my tribal claim. 4.-guachichiles-pdf.pdf (seducoahuila.gob.mx) Henceforth, with the above laid out, I title myself with the name “Juancholoa” –an authentic Guachichil name from the above source.
