Endogamous Networks

These individuals are not presented as isolated families, but as part of a persistent endogamous network centered in Zacatecas and its former territories. The repetition of surnames, marriages, occupations, and geographic clustering suggests continuity through social strategy rather than open religious practice. This network model explains both the survival of crypto-Jewish lineages and the failure of single-family origin claims.

📌 Founder’s Note
Many individuals listed here recur extensively within the founder’s family tree—often appearing **five or more times across independent lines**—as a result of sustained endogamy within Zacatecas and its former territories. This level of recurrence reflects a normal founder effect and helps explain the amplified presence of shared ancestors across these towns.
