The Inquisition had been eliminating large groups of Jews and in 1492
Jews were finally forced out of Spain, some going to Amsterdam, Portugal
and others to the New World, even though it was forbidden. The Parra name
is indeed found in Inquisition documents and on the rolls of Jewish peoples
whom had gone to Amsterdam, the Dutch colonies and in Mexico. While the
memory of our journey, migrations or escape from the Inquisition is no
longer known to us, our name can be found in various documents, which I
am finding and still researching. Conversos and marranos, as Jews could be
called, were not too popular in predominantly Catholic Espana. Regardless,
they (Jews) penetrated that society even into the courtyards of royalty. It
must also be understood or recognized that in many cases you had related
family members on both or either side of the river, so to speak, some very
Catholic, with some of these even being curas or priests and some crypto or
hidden Jews, observing Judaism only as their circumstances or situations
might safely allow. According to Separdim.com’s Heraldic information on
conversos (the converted), “Many Separdim families were enobled after
1492-1497, so that some crests will contain Christian symbology.” Families
can have more than one crest for a number of reasons.” Sometimes they
were based on individual’s achievements or service.
The first Parra’s into Nuevo Mexico (New Mexico) were the
conquistadores Alonso Parra Martin and Alonso Parra Rodriguez (Please
keep in mind that in the Spanish system of surnames the father’s surname is
listed in the middle, unlike our American way- thus the last is the mother’s)
who served under Captain Francisco Vasquez de Coronado whose expedition
explored Nuevo Mexico, Arizona and went as far north as Kansas during
1540 to 1542.1 The next appears to be Gregorio Parra Chacon, the son of
Juan de la Parra.2 (Juan de la Parra a Spanish captain of the Indehe in 1582
commissioned Antonio de Luxan in 1582 for the expedition of Antonio de
Espejo, the taking of native captives (slaves).3 Gregorio was a soldier in

Onate’s colonization expedition, which celebrated a Thanksgiving on April
30 of 1598 having finally arrived at Nuevo Mexico along the shores of the
Rio Grande, it is believed in the vicinity of San Elizario, which is just east of
El Paso del Norte. At the San Elizario mission/church a group of Parras is
listed amongst the earliest members of the congregation. Our ancestors
settled along the few Spanish presidios and parajes along the Camino Real
near the Rio Grande. With the passage of time, certain Hispanic families,
with very beautiful Spanish surnames, have changed their family names. In
our family, like the de la Penas and the de la Torres, the “de la” has been
omitted, sometimes by the Priests or Curas who would unwittingly drop the
de la on the children’s names while filling out the baptismal certificates and
church records and then probably in part because the “New Conquerors” the
Anglos on the whole failed to understand or appreciate the Spanish system
of naming individuals, coupled with the perceived complexity of very long
names so common to our ancestor’s culture. I myself have been guilty of
trying to modify a person’s name, to our American way. I had occasion to
ask an adult Mexican student how he preferred to be called, Juan or Jose, at
the beginning of his prodigious name, with a Maria to boot, and went on to
my amazement, and in my eyes saw a definite need for some simplification.
He replied, “I prefer being called Juan Jose”. For the first time I believe it
dawned upon me that I was imposing a culture standard that I had grown up
with. How quickly and how very rudely, without arbitration and sensitivity,
we try to change something so very basic to a human life or so important as
another’s precious culture, that is their given name, and very religious at
that. Well, we do it innocently and mean no harm, but step on toes we do,
nonetheless. Why did I suddenly learn a great lesson? I am sure I had done
this before in teaching children, but this was an adult! I was at his level, age
wise. He knew what he preferred and I received an overdue message!
In a brief look at the research of others, I have also read that the Parras
were established very early throughout the Americas. A Dona Ana de la
Parra from Madrid who married a Don Francisco Delgadillo immigrated to
Mexico in 1585. Their grandson, Alonso Davalos Bracamonte was granted
the title of Conde (Count) de Miravalle in 1690. Dona Catalina de la Parra
who was born in Alpechin, married Don Diego Bermudez and their son
whom moved to the Indies and later became the Mayor of the Cabildo de
Lima in Peru where he married and died. There are many other Parras names
I have found such as Samuel de La Parra who was amongst the original
settlers who settled in Suriname for the Dutch and was listed amongst the
important Jewish persons who owned plantations there.
I would also like to share that our surname is found in the data base for
Vasco (Basque) surnames and documents that I have only begun study,
through the Spanish Archives. Our ancestory or branch of Parra’s also has
Samaniego blood. The Samaniegos are a Basque people. My Great Great
Grandfather Don Carmel Dominguez Parra born in Dona Ana in about 1830,
married Senorita Francisca Ponce Samaniego, child of Pedro Samaniego and
Isabel Ponce also of Dona Ana. Thus, I and my children carry Rh negative
blood, or the Rhesus Negative types, which is the highest frequency blood
type of those Basque people.4 My daughter Julie has experienced or had to
be treated to prevent the serious and often fatal blue baby syndrome or
haemolytic disease or condition, caused when a Rhesus negative mother
bears a child of a Rhesus positive father, affecting the second or subsequent
pregnancy.

day such as in the Order of Santiago- I have met members of these orders and possess the veira or concha de
Santiago, so this information is intimate)

always had certain mining interests since their arrival in the New World,
continuing to the last century, as years ago I remember reading a particular
legal notice in the local Newspaper, the Deming Headlight. It advised heirs
of Albino and Julian Parra of the intention of a mining company to begin a
mining operation in the area of mines near Fluorite Ridge, that were once
owned and worked by these Parra’s.

Part of our family and many relatives were eventually able to return to
New Mexico, after the Reconquest of New Mexico. It should be
remembered, that this region was all in the Spanish kingdom from the 1500’s
until 1821 and then for just about a mere 25 years a sovereign nation
(Mexico), wherein its citizens went freely back and forth with no
international border or boundary. Nonetheless, my family had important or
close family in the Pueblo de Casas Grandes area, which they paid perhaps
annual visits. They traveled along the Camino Real briefly towards El Paso
del Norte and then probably west upon a failed trail or route once blazed to
Sonora, but then turned south at the The Presidio de San Felipe de Janos to
Santa Rita Trail and continued down to Pueblo de Casa Grandes. I have
found where apparently a Parra child who was born in Nuevo Mexico then
subsequently taken for baptismal at San Antonio de Padua church in Pueblo
de Casa Grandes in Old Mexico. The explanation is probably simple. They
went to be with their close family. Family is still very important in our
Hispanic Culture. When living in Northern New Mexico ourselves, we
would bring our children to southern New Mexico for baptismal and first
communions near the grandparents, and the numerous aunts, uncles and
cousins, and compadres that we all might share in the special religious
ceremonials.
When they came back to Nuevo Mexico our branch of the family seems
to have mainly settled in the region above El Paso del Norte, in the Dona
Ana area, with some exceptions no doubt- I have found a number of Parras
once lived at Tome, NM. Nonetheless, my close ancestors probably lived at
or near Dona Ana until our family began a new migration (it appears the
family probably moved after great flooding in that valley in 1865, when the
river completely changed course on the then un-dammed Rio Grande) to a
valley called the Mimbres, the Spanish name for the Desert Willow, which
grows along the little river of the same name. Thus, our ancestors, probably
with Don Carmel Parra in lead of his family and his closest kin, were also
amongst the early settlers of the Mimbres Valley, with our family selecting a
very nice ranch site along the Mimbres River and then building their homes
atop the natural terrace of a hill, high and beyond the river waters, at San
Ysidro, in what became known as La Cienega de Los Parras. Canuto Parra
began his mile and a half Parra ditch in 1886 according to historical
records.13

Later, San Ysidro became known as Swarts or Swartz. Antonio Parra
married Camila Swartz and thus we became primos. The Parras and other
families, which had been forced to retreat at the Pueblo Indian Rebellion,
going or perhaps I should say retreating to the El Paso del Norte area, and
some continued further south into the interior. Some of the the Parra’s
remained close, searching areas of mineral interest like those in the Casas
Grandes area, but eventually at least some Parra’s worked their way back up
to New Mexico, after the reconquest led by De Vargas. Interestingly, De
Vargas was a direct descendent of the landowner and employer of the
farmer’s patron saint, San Ysidro el Labrador, so beloved in New Mexico.
The Parras, our kin and neighbors, in colonizing the Mimbres Valley north
of El Cerro de Los Remedios or Cookes Peak, usually came by way of Santa
Rita, where we had kin or Dona Ana in the Rio Grande Valley, maybe even
following parts of the old Butterfield Trail and a trail blazed directly through
and past Cooke’s Town and on up the hills going generally north, directly to
the mines of Santa Rita, Fort Webster and the ranchos of the Mimbres. The
trail is clearly shown on the Barlett-Conde and Gray boundaries map from
the New York Illustrated News of June 14, 185314 and then again on the U.S.
surveyor Generals Office 1883 Powell and Kingman’s Map of Southwestern
New Mexico (I see/note a portion of my grandfather surname almost hidden
by wear at the crease, exactly at his Rancho’s location), drawn by the
draftsman E. Kingman, Jr. and copyrighted in 1883. It was from the north
(and the San Ysidro vicinity along the Mimbres River) that Albino Olguin
Parra came along the trail and across the mountains upon horseback to dance
up a “fierce Mexican dust-storm” at a place my father called “La Grafica”.
My abuelita (Grandma Faviana Rodriguez Galindo) was temporarily living
up here in the mining towns of Jose and Cooke’s town. According to my Tio
Merejildo Quiroz, whom she helped to raise after his father Proto passed on
at the Parra Rancho* in his childhood, my grandmother often recalled
working for the Charles Poe family who owned a store and Mr. Poe serving
as Postmaster from June 28, 1893 to Sept. 28, 1908.15

and Blasa Esparza.
As I said in my introduction, I sincerely believe that we, the Hispanos
of Nuevo Mexico and also of that hidden little valley north of the Cerro de
Las Remedios, probably have lived and stuck together a pretty long time,
since our departure from the land of our Spanish forefathers. We were
indeed a group, and it appears in large, a Sephardic group, hidden or
gradually assimilated in the wilderness that was Nuevo Mexico. We
marched, walked and rode those bloodline equines of the Iberian Peninsula
alongside Francisco de Coronado and the famous Juans, Onate and, quite
likely, Grijalva. They (the Spaniards) said this new land was so far from
God, yet they learned to love it as a Promised Land, never looking back. The
seed of the conquistadores yet is sown and the harvest grows. The Parra’s
have certainly propagated successfully, as our incomplete family tree shows.
