There is a saying in the Sierra San Franciscos that if you throw a rock high up into the sky, when it comes back to earth it will land on the head of
an Arce.
My other 4WD is a Baja Mule!

Hi Teddi,
Perhaps, you may be able to help me.
My name is John Arce. I was born and raised in San Diego, California, but now live in Europe.
Might you have any information regarding the Arce Davidson family which had roots in San Telmo, BC? As a teenager I visited their home and ranch there
with my father (George David Arce, born in San Ysidro, CA, 1934) a few times around 1980. They were relatives of his father Gabriel Arce Davidson
(born?) who died of pneumonia in the 1930s. According to my father my grandfather was born in Ensenada but his family was from San Telmo.
Unfortunately, before my father passed away, I was only able to get limited information about our roots and family tree.
Here is the limited information I have:
My great grandfather from San Telmo was Jose Antonio Arce. His wife was Maria or possibly Margaret (Davidson) Arce.
My grandfather was Gabriel Arce Davidson (Ensenada, BC). His wife was Bertha Amador.
I know my grandfather had at least one brother named Salvador Arce Davidson (March 4,1911-Dec. 28, 2002) who was also born in BC and died in Tijuana.
His wife was Monica (Lopez) Arce. Their children are Eleanor Margaret Arce, Gloria Luz Arce, Erik Salvador Arce, and Cesar Gabriel Arce.
My father also mentioned the names Gregorio Arce and Reyes Arce. They may have also been brothers of my grandfather Gabriel. They may have been the
relatives we visited in San Telmo many years ago. Many years ago at a family memorial service for my Uncle Mike, my father introduced me to somebody
he said was my grandfather’s sister. She told me I looked just like her brother! Sadly, I have no idea what her name was.
If you have any information about this family I would be very grateful to learn it.
If have have contacts in San Telmo could they please make inquiries for me? I would be hugely grateful.
I would love to learn anything about my grandfather who died so young, and about my relatives who I also never got to know.
I can be reached at the following email address: johnkarce @ centrum.cz.
Thank you very much in advance, and THANK YOU for all of your work keeping the history of our beloved BC alive. Good luck in your future travels and
research!
Sincerely,
John Arce in Prague, Czech Republic, Europe

thread is a blast from the past!
Just wanted to share another book on Baja genealogy that i recently read, it traces many families in Baja from their origins to their eventual
settling in San Diego neighborhoods in the early 50's, quite interesting.
https://www.amazon.com/Familia-Migration-Adaptation-Californ...
Anthropologists, historians, and sociologists will find here a striking challenge to accepted explanations of the northward movement of migrants from
Mexico into the United States. Alvarez investigates the life histories of pioneer migrants and their offspring, finding a human dimension to migration
which centers on the family. Spanish, American, and English exploits paved the way for exchange between Baja and Alta California. Alvarez shows how
cultural stability actually increased as migrants settled in new locations, bringing their common values and memories with them.

2013! Wow, this is indeed a blast from the past!
Nowadays, one of the most extensive photo histories that I know of belong to Juanita (Jane) Ames in San Ignacio. She has albums and more albums that
anyone is welcome to look at in her museum.

jkarce, I hope Teddi sees this and will get back to you. She and I communicate about Baja history and being an Arce is like gold, as far as Baja
families go!
defrag4, thank you for sharing... just when I thought I had enough Baja books... another one pops up!!!
Harald, stand by for an email... this was from 2013, so I had to see what you were asking me about as my memory is not that sharp!
