re Pancho Villa: You're all correct, of course. But individuals move around. The town was, I'm told, Rainbow, Texas; a railroad water tank and little more - 6 or 8 houses. My grandmother was there with her family. They left somewhat hurriedly. Documents that MIGHT have supported later stories were lost.

I guess one of the sub-texts I was unaware of when I started was that you can't really tell a person's past (ancestry) without records.I've known 2 men who were damn near pure Native American and looked more Anglo than me. As I said before; it's interesting. it's colorful, it's fun. Europeans have a sense of anchored continuity that we lack. Maybe I'm jealous, I don't know.
