Since the dawn of man people have always traveled in groups, with those
founders of the group having the most descendants within the group.
The population of Mexico has seen wide historical changes. At the
time of the conquest in the early 1500's the population was estimated
to be 20 million. By 1600 due to disease and war effecting the Native
American population of Mexico, the population dwindled to 1 million. In
the mean time, prior to 1620 or so, it is estimated that half the male
population of Iberia came to settle the Americas. It is this founder
population that this website will focus on, as there is genealogical
and scientific information allowing us to link back to them.
