Arce Family Info
Newbie here...
After lurking for a bit it seems there seems to be some "experts" on Baja genealogy.
After coming back from a Arce family reunion this past weekend in La Mision Santo Domingo, I am looking to get more information on descendants. Could
anyone point me in the right direction or provide any direct knowledge.
My dads grandfather is Cenobio Arce (born 1889) who's father is Jose Ignacio Arce Espinosa. Although we are unsure of his exact legal name.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!!

the world of Arces
You are in luck because Shari and Juan can really help you with their knowledge of the Baja Arces. There is even a movie about them. I am sure Shari
will be contacting you..

Remember CHUY'S Bar in Ensenada? Chuy was an Arce. I say "was" because he's gone now for maybe ten years.
Jeeeezo....what a wonderful gentleman he was. When some people pass on, they leave a big unfillable hole in life. Chuy was one such man.

Hi,
Check out this thread, http://forums.bajanomad.com/viewthread.php?tid=66268#pid8028...
and Baja Bucko is your best bet for more information. She has been doing research for a very long time.
Also, Juanita at Casa Leree has a lot of information and many many old photos of members of some of the Arce families.
In Baja California Sur, the name Arce is one of the most common names, if not the most common name. Lots and lots of different Arce families.
Good Luck

yes Baja Bucko is an Arce expert and knows the genealogies very well so U2U'ing her would be your best bet. That must have been a wonderful
reunion..lots of blue & green eyes I bet. Arce's are known for their nobleness and quiet manor as well as musical talents...not to mention
horsemanship...I am proud to be married to one!

If you like I can look them up on La Guia Familiar de Baja
California, although I am sure that tracing this family
old Baja California name will lead to many branches to
be investigated.

Thanks everyone for your responses!
The reunion was fun, my second year going. Only a handful of blue/green eyes but I always wondered where they came from.
@ vacenbaja Sure if it isn't too much trouble. I am also planning to look at the book at UCSD library
Looks like i need to contact Baja Bucko

Baja Bucko is the Baja Nomad genealogy specialist... Her grandpa is from San Telmo, if I have my memory correct.
There is a Baja California Ancestry forum: http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.mexico.bajacal...
and a Baja California Sur Ancestry forum: http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.northam.mexico.bajacal...
Baja Bucko is 'o2bnbaja1' on those forums...

By-the-way, Harry Crosby has done a lot of research on the Baja families that were associated with the Spanish soldiers and others assigned to support
the California mission project (1697 +). His books 'Last of the Californios' c1981 and 'Gateway to Alta California' c2003 are excellent sources of
Baja family details. The Mexican film 'Bajo California: The Limit of Time' (made about the year 2000?) is also a great story about the Arce family of
San Francisco de la Sierra.

Sounds like Juan needs a Tuba.......a nice, pleasant, mild mannered Tuba.
I'll keep my eyes open around the Segundas.

thanks Dennis...your a real pal all right...
but seriously...those Arces came from good stock...Spanish cavalry type so I've learned. So naturally they have evolved around ranch life which
usually involves music to pass the evening hours. When the Arce's gather you can expect them to haul out their instruments and jam till the wee hours.

Hey, Dennis. Look for a Sousaphone. That way he can wander around BA playing his tunes
