Alejandro

This is a fourth in a series attempting to connect the family of cousin MC to either my Portillo or Diaz line (or both). This post takes a closer look at Alejandro Portillo, father of Maria Luisa Castillo. Alejandro was born Teodoro Alejandro Portillo on 9 November 1866. His parents were Manuel Portillo and Maria Lopez.
Source: Ancestry. Mexico Church Records, Hermosillo.
I cannot tell for certain yet if this is the connection, but my 3rd-great-grandfather was also Manuel Portillo. A complication is that my 3rd-great-grandmother was Maria Bernal, not Maria Lopez. Perhaps Alejandro's mother Maria was a second wife of Manuel Portillo, or the Portillo connection is farther back in time.
