I met Pete Acuna in Arizona when I was stationed with the 36th Army Band at Fort Huachuca, Arizona. I was impressed with his talent and his happy attitude.

I don't really remember the exact location or the specific event. I was a heavy drinker at the time and some memories of those days almost fifty years ago are somewhat vague.

Hello, did your Jesus Acuna have a son named Ramon Acuna? Because that is my great grandfather, and his dad was named Jesus Acuna from Bacanora, Sonora, Mexico. To my knowledge, Jesus Acuna married Maria Lopez.

Any info you might have on other brothers and sisters would be great. Thanks!

Re: Acuna - Chile to California

LimitlessEternity — 2009-04-24 16:20:49Z

I don't know about Mexico to Chile. The information that I have says both Santiago and Valparaiso, Chile. I know his uncle Jacinto Acuna also came north and his naturalization clearly states that he was a native of Valparaiso, Chile. All the censuses say that Joseph was from Chile. We have several family letters written from Maria Luisa Acuna in Valparaiso, Chile to Joseph Rumaldo Acuna. Maria Luisa is Joseph's sister and she mentions two other sisters, Maria and Adela. Jacinto's wife is Josephina. Apparently Jacinto and Josephina were married in Chile prior to coming to California as Maria Luisa talks of her as if she knows her intimately. We do have one quirky letter from Maria del Socorro Contreras written to her son, Juan Acuna in Sacramento, Californi dated 1909. It was sent from Chilchota and the only Chilchota I can find is in Mexico. SO there may well be a Mexican link that I haven't yet found.

Does any of this sound like your family? I'm so anxious to know!!!

Looking for Acuña history

PPanchi — 2008-05-20 18:25:10Z

I'm trying to trace my Acuña family line but my entire family has run into a road block. As we know our history my ancestor Dario Acuña and one of his brothers left their family and ran south. We believe that they may have come from anywhere as south as Columbia or as far north as Mexico. Dario settled in Ecuador (where my family is from) however his brother continued to move on (it's believed further south) Dario and his siblings would have been born somewhere either in the late 1700's or early 1800's. The only other clue I have (which may be completely irrelevant) is that my name Francisco and my nick name Pancho seems to be a very predominant name in my line. From Dario's kids to me there has been a Francisco/Pancho in each generation. If any of this rings any bells or if anyone can help me out I'd be so happy to learn more about my family. Thanks

Hi, my name is William Acuna and I'm from Fresno, CA. My father is Guillermo (William) Acuna. He was born in Friant, CA, in 1924 to Mariano and Rosario Acuna. They returned to Mexicali just prior to the Great Depression (1929) and my father lived there until 1942 when he enlisted in the army. The rest of the family subsequently returned to the Fresno area. He's asleep right now, but I will ask him some questions tomorrow (Jan. 30, 2008). I'll try and get back to you. BTW, my grandparents hail from Sonora, Mexico.

I gathered very little information on the Grijalva name other than the initial identification as Rosalio's second wife. I got stumped at Ruperto Acuna and Luz? so I moved on to another line. I did find out that Luz Acuna's maiden name was Perea and she was the siter of Luz Perez Sanchez that adopted my grandmother after all. I was also told that Luz Acuna had a different first name and that her sister Luz Sanchez was actually the Luz of the family, but I haven't had any luck with that.
