I made a trip to my ancestor´s town. I claim it to be very fortunated because is the result of a bunch of diggins. I did found a hidden treasure: the getting a hug from my mother´s side of long time absence. This means, my fellows group, I just met two of my mother´s siblings and a bunch of cousins.
My mother was raised by a relative or friend of the family (her mother died from giving birth) and added to that her father never had an affective relation with she, so me and my cousins, nor one in the family, had any affective relation with them, not even close. This spring took iniciative and went to seek for them. It was a great treat, came bach happy to the full, I still can´t put it in the right words. I invite you to look in my just added album.

A most important trip
Leticia, thank you for sharing your very emotional journey. I do know how you feel since I went to my grandfathers homestead in Jerez Zacatecas in 2003 and found what you did, family I didn't know but saw myself in.. what a wonderful feeling.
