Updated My File

    Hi, Everyone:
    I updated my genealogy file folder. I added some more names to my surname
    list and I placed my updated ancestral charts in the file, removing the old
    charts. You will note that one of these charts is called a "Preliminary"
    chart. This is because it is the information I am basing my research on. I
    put it into chart form to aid my research and show Nuestros Ranchos members
    more clearly the direction this body of research is heading.

    This "Preliminary Cabral Ancestral Chart" is based on the research I have
    done on my Cabral family history, plus what I have found on the IGI and
    Family Search Pilot website. I put this all together with the information I
    have been so fortunate to receive from my newly found cousins in
    Guadalajara. Using this chart, I hope to follow this as a guide to learning
    more about my Cabral ancestry. I cannot say enough kind words of gratitude
    and appreciation to Sergio Alatorre for all his hard work and willingness to
    share so much with me. And, I give thanks to his brother, Roberto Alatorre,
    and also to Eduardo and Rodrigo Cardenas. I am so happy to have found out
    about all of you and I hope that I will be able to meet all of you in
    person. Hopefully that will be sooner than later. I also hope that we can
    continue to help one another with our research.

    My Cabral family history research began with the stories handed down and
    certainly embellished and filled in where memory began to fail. It was said
    that Benigno Cabral, my great-great-grandfather, was a Portuguese merchant
    sea captain and that he had met Pioquinta Gonzalez Figueroa and eloped from
    Spain to Zacatecas, Mexico. The full account is a wonderful story, but its
    truth yet awaits discovery. I can imagine the embellishments added to
    comfort a disquieted child who can't sleep late into the night. Yet, fact
    or fiction, it is like a lantern that is held far ahead on the path and
    beckons me to follow.

    So far, the search has remained primarily in Guadalajara where the children
    of Pioquinta and Benigno lived out their lives and where, one by one, they
    have all been buried. Finding their birth records on the Family Search
    pilot website, I was led to Huejuquilla El Alto, Jalisco. In Pioquinta's
    death record that Sergio Alatorre found, it states she had come from there
    and it gave her parent's names, Ignacio Gonzalez and Antonia Figueroa.
    There was also found a record of one Jose Benigno Cabral born to Jose
    Manuel Toribio Cabral and Josefa Limas in Huejucar, Jalisco. So, this is
    where I am looking now. I had not been too successful in the past, but I
    have had so much help that I feel I am finally making progress.

    Thank you for sharing your progress...it certainly energizes me to stay
    motivated in continuing my research of my ancestral lines. I have too found
    that the Family Research Pilot website has been a useful tool; I found more
    ancestors that my family never knew of. Again, thank you for sharing.

    Updated My File...Cabral

    Sunday, August 17, 2008

    Dear Corrine-

    Although we do not share the same family lines, I
    enjoyed reading this email of yours. I wish you good
    luck on your future research.

    Previously I lived in Santa Maria for a short time
    while in grade school. I later graduated from Lompoc
    High School in 1965. I have many pleasant memories of
    this part of California.
