My specialty is in northern Mexican genealogy with a special focus on tracing indigenous roots in historic Chichimeca territories. Content Creator Aridamerican. I have over 3 years of experience servicing genealogy clients, have completed the Genealogy Principles Course at Boston University, and am fluent in 3 languages: English, Spanish, and Portuguese. I am also a member of the Association of Professional Genealogists.
On my own tree, I’ve found over 86 full-blooded Native American ancestors, countless Spanish lines, countless “mestizo” ancestors, 52 African ancestors, several Basque lines, several Portuguese lines, and several Sephardic Jewish lines. I’ve applied for Portuguese citizenship due to the aforementioned ancestry. Through careful analysis and research, I found my two indigenous tribes – the Guachichil and Tlaxcalans.
I was born in Coahuila, Mexico, and grew up undocumented in the U.S. for many years. I also served in the Army Reserve and became a U.S. citizen in 2022. I have a Sci-Fi book published called Golden Skies, and I am a professional writer.
