Pancho Villa y sus Hombres
La imagen muestra a Pancho Villa y sus hombres. Villa es el cuarto hombre que está a mano derecha en la primera fila. Pancho Villa (1878-1923) fue un revolucionario mexicano y un líder que defendió a los pobres. Aunque fue un asesino y un bandido, muchos lo recuerdan como un héroe popular. Nacido en el seno de una familia pobre, él aprendió la relación entre los ricos y los pobres en México a finales del siglo XIX de una manera dura. Después de haberle disparado al dueño de la hacienda en la que su familia vivió y trabajó a la edad de 16 años, Villa corrió de la ley y se convirtió en el líder de un grupo de bandidos. Debido a sus habilidades de un guerrillero luchador, llamó la atención de los hombres que estaban planeando una revolución. Ya que Porfirio Díaz, el Presidente de México, había creado gran parte de los problemas actuales a los pobres y Francisco Madero prometió cambios para las clases inferiores, Pancho Villa se unió a Madero y se convirtió en un líder efectivo en el ejército revolucionario de octubre de 1910 a mayo de 1911. Junto con Madero y Pascual Orozco, dirigió las tropas durante la Batalla de Juárez, lo que llevó a la renuncia de Porfirio Díaz. Sin embargo, en mayo de 1911, él renunció del comando debido a las diferencias que tuvo con Orozco. Villa se casó con María Luz Corral y trató de establecerse. Cuando Orozco inició una nueva rebelión contra Madero, quien se había convertido en Presidente de México, Villa apoyó a Madero junto con el General Victoriano Huerta. Cuando Huerta se convirtió en oponente de Madero, eventualmente lo asesinó para reclamar la presidencia por sí mismo, Villa se alió con Venustiano Carranza para combatir contra Huerta. Pancho Villa fue extremadamente exitoso, pero en el verano de 1914, Villa y Carranza, se convirtieron en enemigos y pelearon uno contra el otro en los próximos años. Los Estados Unidos apoyo a Carranza, lo cual es la razón porque Villa atacó la Ciudad de Columbus, Nuevo México, en 1916. Su ataque fue el primero en suelo americano desde 1812. Bajo el liderazgo del General Pershing, los EEUU envió a miles de soldados a la frontera en la búsqueda de Pancho Villa (en Expedición de Castigo), pero nunca lo atraparon. Cuando Adolfo De la Huerta se convirtió en el presidente temporal de México en el año 1920, Villa aceptó retirarse de la vida revolucionaria pero fue baleado en 1923.

A few years ago I discovered a shocking DNA surprise through 23andme and Ancestry - showing my biological father was a friend of our family. My elderly aunt is 85, and she has been helping me learn about our family history. She shared that there were stories that my grandfather rode and fought with Pancho Villa, and first met my grandmother while helping families - possibly near Zacatecas. I was told that Helen was born in Zacatecas, Mexico in 1902. My grandfather Santos was likely in his 30’s when he met her, and he may have already had a family, but he convinced her to “run away with him” and start a life together. I have been told that when he crossed into the states, he changed his surname (from possibly Aguilar or Aguilera) to Ramirez. We have a beautiful, first photo of my grandparents together dated 1917, and he looks rugged and handsome (wearing hat, with scarf tied around his neck), but we’re not sure of his actual age or last name. We’re also not sure if he abandoned a family, or fled from Pancho Villa - since he chose to take a new last name. They married in 1917, when my grandmother was 15, and eventually settled in Minnesota. Together they raised 14 children, including my biological father Joseph. They were migrant farmers, and he eventually worked with the railroad. My grandfather was elderly (age unknown) when he passed away in 1966, but my grandmother lived into her mid 90’s, and outlived him by over 22 years. I’ve checked DNA matches, but there are only a few distant matches found in Mexico. We’d like to find out more about him, and hopefully pictures, names of Pancho Villa’s men between 1910-1915 or 1916 could be helpful!
