  • Luddy Fernandez Babilonia (1935-30 Aug 2021)
    In remembrance My mother has made the transition, completing her life on earth. She was 85 years old, almost making it to her 86th; if she had lived just a little longer, she would have welcomed another great-grandchild into the world. Losing her is devastating, and comfort that her suffering has ended. She was my […]
  • Calling the Ancestors
    Shouldn’t we ask questions about how beginnings are constructed? What’s the significance of an origin story? Who gets to tell about the dawning of a deeper historical consciousness among people? For whom does this story matter? Stories are containers for memory, with purpose. The post Calling the Ancestors appeared first on Latino Genealogy & Beyond.
  • Passings
    Yesterday was the fourth anniversary of Pop’s passing, which took place on 7 July 2017.

  • The Many Names of Telesforo Carrillo (1845-1920)
    The search for my great great grandfather began with a fiction of sorts, created by his death certificate of 1920. Here the gap between who he was when he started and who he was at the end of his life widens. The post The Many Names of Telesforo Carrillo (1845-1920) appeared first on Latino Genealogy […]
  • Persons Enslaved by Samuel Williams (1795-1856) Tobey Creek, Barnwell County, South Carolina
    At the end of October, I was searching South Carolina probate records to see whether a Williams may have enslaved some of the ancestors I am helping to search for in Barnwell County.
