Hi Josie, I'm so happy that you responded to me. My gran-father is from Itaparto,Gunajunto he died when my dad was a
young man about 20 years old. My gran-father
is short lite skin and red hair. I have 3
brothers and 3 sisters.I am the only one
that is white and two brothers that are lite
skin. My dad's father married a Mexican lady
I know that we are related from your mother
and my gran-father . His name was Silvester
Gordillo .He had alot of family in Mexico.
Oh by the way the last name Gordillo I'm
still doing a research it comes from Valencia,Spain from the 1500's our ancestors
come from Spain and went into Mexico and settled thats why your family is so lite skined.We Gordillo family have some French
in us. Well I hope you write back to me.
So maybe we can get a Gordillo family reunion
going.

E-mail me anytime Viviangeorgette@aol.com

I know that there are alot of Gordillo's
in Mexico.

I have been looking for Gordillo's for over twenty five years. We are few and far between. I am fairly tall, white skin, hazel eyes and light brown hair (when I was young) but my great-grandfather was from the Canary Islands (Islenos), migrated to Cuba but left Cuba in 1892 for Key West, Florida and then moved to Tampa. I am curious how the name got to Mexico.

Can't help you. We're Mescalero Apache.

Valle de Santiago and other places in Guanajuato Mexico.. some are in Mexico city.. i keep in touch with all of them.

I had a grandfather in Michoacan his name was Jesus Gordillo, has family in the area. Trying to find history I believe his brother was Basilio Gordillo. Please let me know if he is related to your family. He was born in 1905? or so. Died in 1990's.
I would appreciate any information.

The Gordillos came into Mexico via Chiapas. Chiapas was part of Guatemala until 1828. In Chiapas and Guatemala we are not few and far between. Rather, "somos un chingo" There are many different branches of the Clan, which appears to have originated inSpain. in the late 80's, the National Geographic published a Map of the travels of olumbus and it showed a Francisco Gordillo traveling in the Caribean Sea, way back in the early 1500's. We may actually have 'marrano' (converted jew) lines also...check out the google search engine and you'll see how many of us there are

Check out this link and see if we can learn more. I think this is the guy who brought us to the new land from europe:
