Alexandra, I am distantly related to General Jesus Arechiga thru my maternal grandmother Amada Arechiga Valenzuela. I am not exactly sure of the relationship but my grandmother referred to him as her uncle. I spoke to Fernando Arechiga Flores who owns a ferreteria in Jalpa and he is also working on his geneology tree. I believe Fernando is a direct descendant of General Jesus Arechiga. Fernando referred to my grandmother as his aunt. I am interesting in knowing who you are and what have been your findings.

Currently I have my geneology research on halt because I am studying for the CPA exam and other certs which will take me awhile to accomplish.

There are also two gentlemen doing research on Jalpa who belong this group. They are Lupe Jaime and Ruben Hernandez.

Please send me your contact information.

Thanks,

Mercedes Chavez
