Juan says Si...what a cool photo eh!

Well, How about that !!!!

I was looking through pictures on the Casa de Leree site and something drew me to that pic....when I read the name I saw "Arce" and wondered. They have similar facial features....two handsome men :biggrin:

Is that an old picture ("the old days") as are many of the photos in that collection or relatively recent (past 15 years)?

6 degrees of separation, huh !?

As I understand it, Arce is a somewhat commonly found surname throughout Latin America, Spain and even Italy. Maybe they all trace back to the same parental source.

Yes, that occurred to me after I sent the first post....kinda like "Smith".....

And, yes, we probably all came from the same critters that started to walk upright....some are just dragging their knuckles more than some others... :biggrin:

Not suggesting this applies to Juan, Shari... :lol:

For more on the Arces and Villavicencios, read Harry Crosby's 'Last of the Californios' as well as watch the movie 'Bajo California: The Limit of Time'.

These are families who descended from Spanish soldiers brought to (Baja) California to protect the Jesuits in the late 1600's and 1700's.

There's a lot of info on early families in Pablo Martinez's Guia Familiar de Baja California 1700-1900 (in Spanish).

Clemente Arce is alive and well (I saw him there last November), and lives in San Ignacio. He is an accomplished woodworker and artist. Juanita has a number of his paintings on display and for sale at Casa Leree.

And....it is a rather good photograph, as well. Good lighting ! A great portrait. :saint:
