Kidnappings

By Aida Garralda | 5:45 PM MST, Mon December 17, 2007

Dear Fellow Researchers:

I was surprised to find out that kidnappings were not that unusual. Our ggrandmother was supposedly "stolen" from her parents by a foreigner who was either an engineer or delivered the payroll to the "Mines"

My ggrandmother was from Chihuahua and her parents name might have been"de la Mora or de la Moral". She was pregnant with my grandmother "Isabel" when her "kidnapper disappeared. .

My grandmother's father disappeared before she was born and her mother died when she was 4 so she was raised by the servants who gave her the name of Morales.

Her father (the foreigner ) supposedly had z's,x's and k's in his surname and my grandmother looked like she could be Russian or Ukranian.

I took the DNA (genographic project) hoping to discover what her ethnicity was but as of yet no matches have been found. I am Haplogroup X.

Anyone have any suggestions as to how I could trace my grandmothers roots either for her mother or her father?

Thank you,

Aida Garralda

Kidnappings

Both my maternal gradmother and mother were "kidnapped". My mother was 19 and already dating my father. She went out into the patio one night and my dad and a friend grabbed her and took her to his great aunts house. She didn't even have shoes on. It is kind of sad because, even though she loved my father very much, she wasn't quite ready to get married yet.

Her father and mother's story is really sweet. My grandfather and grandmother lived across the path from each other and one day as they were talking, my grandfather pulled my grandma across to his house, and that was that. She's been driving him crazy ever since. :)
