Bienvenidos

Bienvenidos , Este es un sitio dedicado a la memoria de nuestra familia. Es para ustedes, los que están y los que vienen, los que quieren aprender, saber o simplemente tienen curiosidad. Conocer nuestra historia familiar abre caminos importantes, de conocimiento, de comprensión y evolución personal; donde al saber de nuestro pasado podemos entender un poco mejor el presente y construir un mejor futuro que a su vez, será el pasado y presente de los que vienen. El poder visualizar lo que vivieron nuestros antepasados para nosotros estar aquí, es indispensable para nuestro crecimiento como seres humanos; valorar los sacrificios, entender, perdonar y aprender de los errores pasados que de alguna forma vienen impresos en nuestra genética ayudan a sanar las heridas de nuestro linaje y por ende nuestra alma. Esta es una investigación de años, que trataremos siga ampliandose y mejorando. Hemos procurado que toda la información incluida esté avalada y comprobada por medio de documentos pero no ha sido fácil. Actas perdidas, archivos destruidos o inaccesibles y fuentes dudosas o equivocadas lo complican. Aportes y correcciones siempre serán bienvenidos y agradecidos. Este ha sido un esfuerzo conjunto de Sugar S. Glaspy y María Rosa Schroeder pero no quiero dejar de agradecer a todos quienes han colaborado en esta aventura. En especial, Alejandro Cantú Chapa, Blanca Cano Chapa, Libor Friedel, Sabine Hartmann y Frank Trumpetter. Su ayuda ha sido invaluable. Gracias.

The Chosen

We are the chosen. In each family there is one who seems called to find the ancestors. To put flesh on their bones and make them live again. To tell the family story and to feel that somehow they know and approve. Doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts but, instead, breathing life into all who have gone before. We are the story tellers of the tribe. All tribes have one. We have been called, as it were, by our genes. Those who have gone before cry out to us: Tell our story. So, we do. In finding them, we somehow find ourselves. How many graves have I stood before now and cried? I have lost count. How many times have I told the ancestors, "You have a wonderful family; you would be proud of us.". How many times have I walked up to a grave and felt somehow there was love there for me? I cannot say. It goes beyond just documenting facts. It goes to who I am, and why I do the things I do.

The Bones of My Bones

The bones here are bones of my bone and flesh of my flesh. It goes to doing something about it. It goes to pride in what our ancestors were able to accomplish. How they contributed to what we are today. It goes to respecting their hardships and losses, their never giving in or giving up, their resoluteness to go on and build a life for their family. It goes to deep pride that the fathers fought and some died to make and keep us a nation. It goes to a deep and immense understanding that they were doing it for us. It is of equal pride and love that our mothers struggled to give us birth, without them we could not exist, and so we love each one, as far back as we can reach. That we might be born who we are. That we might remember them. So we do. With love and caring and scribing each fact of their existence, because we are they and they are the sum of who we are. So, as a scribe called, I tell the story of my family. It is up to that one called in the next generation to answer the call and take my place in the long line of family storytellers. That is why I do my family genealogy, and that is what calls those young and old to step up and restore the memory or greet those who we had never known before.
