Today's LA Times has an excellent article on Mexican genealogy and the origins of SHAAR and Somos Primos. It is based on interviews with Mimi Lozano and others. Includes photo of Mimi with partial display of her family tree. This is the 30th anniversary of the Society of Hispanic Historical and Ancestral Research founded in Orange County by Mimi, Tony Campos, Raul Guerra and Ophelia Marquez. We have much to be grateful for this organization which emphasized networking and sharing.

Gracias a SHHAR
And thank you Mary Lou Montagna for informing us of this, and reminding us of our roots, literally. For me in particular, this was where I got my start and flourished. I met and worked with all the wonderful individuals - primos - you mentioned, as well as yourself.
I have to find this article. Gracias otra vez.
