Names of El Calvario Residents 



the part of Quiroga known as El Calvario, accord- 

 ing to the census of 1940; i. e., blocks 5, 6, and 7 

 of cuartel II and blocks 3 and 4 of cuartel III. 

 Some of these families are intrusive, and many 

 family names are represented only by maiden 

 names of married women. A few members of the 

 Comunidad Indigena reside in other parts of 

 town, but they possess surnames represented in 

 the hst. The numbers to the left of the names 

 indicate the number of heads of family. If no 

 number is given, as in the case of Barriga, it means 

 that either the male line has become extinct, or 

 else the possessors are "non-Indian" women who 

 have married into the community. The fh-st 



column of numbers to the right of the names 

 shows the total number of individuals with those 

 sm'names. The second column to the right 

 indicates the number of ejidatarios representative 

 of the various families. The lack of a figure in 

 this column indicates either that the male hne is 

 extinct, or that no one of that name is considered 

 to be a member of the Indian community. The 

 exceptions are the five heads of family mentioned 

 above, and their names are not certainly known 

 to us. The names and figures for the ejidatarios 

 are not strictly comparable with the material 

 from the 1940 census, since they represent all 

 individuals who have had ejidal rights during the 

 period 1929 to 1944. During that span of time 

 the number of ejidatarios has varied between 36 

 and 85 in any 1 year. Where a surname has no 

 figures immediately to the right or left it indicates 

 a family whose male line has become extinct in the 

 community some time since 1929. A discrepancy 

 in the number of heads of family indicates death 

 of an adult, or marriage and coming of age of a 

 minor male. 



It will be noted that of the 80 sm-names repre- 

 sented in El Calvario, 43 are or have been repre- 

 sented among the ejidatarios. And of these 43 

 family names some 25 are stiU represented in the 

 male line. However, only a few of the names are 

 distinctively Indian: Anita, ChagoUa, Huacuz, 

 and Mexicano, as well as probably Baltazar, 

 Fabiiin, and Sixtos. The Cuin family, which is 

 definitely Tarascan, probably is intrusive from 

 neighboring Santa Fe, and thus would not be 

 eUgible for membership in the Comunidad Indigena 

 del Calvario. However, it may be 1 of the 5 

 families which have refused to participate in the 

 agrarian program. 



INDIAN SURNAMES IN THE QUIROGA AREA 



We have listed previously the nine Indian 

 names still represented in Quii'oga. Those not in 

 the agrarian community, in addition to Cuin, are 

 Cacarf, Huape, Nambo, and Tzintzun. The 

 assumption that these families represent intrusions 

 from the Tarascan villages in the neighborhood is 

 based on the results of a survey of the more com- 

 mon Indian surnames in the region. On the basis 

 of births, marriages, and deaths recorded from 

 1919 to 1945, the leading Indian names in various
