About This Web Site
This Web page is dedicated to preserving the early history of the Patoni Family in Mexico and helping Patoni relatives
contact each other and share information. It is my hope that long lost family lines will be re-united and long
and lasting relationships between Patoni cousins will result. I have begun to make many Patoni connections in the last
year on the Internet and it began to become rather time consuming to send the same information to cousins over and over again.
So I have decided to place as much of the information I have collected on this site.
The cousins who have contacted me so far have all been decendants of my 2nd Great Grandfather Carlos Patoni.
Carlos Patoni was the son of Jose Maria Patoni. Jose Maria Patoni was the son of Juan Bautista Patoni who was the progenitor
of the Patoni family line in Mexico. As you will see in the following pages, ours is a wonderful history and is
interwoven in the very fabric of Mexico's magnificent history.
I apologize to my Mexican cousins who do not speak English. I do not speak Spanish very well. So most of
the material in this site will be in English. I make the same apology to my English speaking cousins. Some of
the documents on these pages are in Spanish and I have not had them translated yet.
Some families know a great deal about their roots; others know very little. This site is an attempt to record what I've
learned about our family history. In these modern times, families tend to be scattered all over the country, if not the world.
One of the goals of this web site is to help our family stay connected even though we live far apart. I hope you enjoy
the site.

In Search Of...
In this area I will be seeking copies of documents and records that I am having difficulty in locating regarding a Patoni
relative.
1) I am currently looking for any information about the death of Dolores "Lola" Patoni Searle. She was living
in a nursing home in Baja California, Mexico in the mid 1960's to be near her younger sisters in southern California.
I do not know where she died, when she died or where she is buried. Does anyone know when and where Dolores " Lola"
Patoni married O.P. Searle. I have been unable to find their marriage record in LDS reocords for Mexico.
Any help with this information would be much appreciated.
2) I am currently looking for a copy of a magazine article written by Carlos Patoni in 1912 regarding a plant known
as Ariocarpus fissuratus. The article was published in the Journal "Alianza Cientifica Universal." If you have
a copy or know where I can acquire a copy, please contact Kameron Searle at ksearle1@pdq.net
Patoni, Carlos. 1912. Ariocarpus flssuratus K. Sch. Anhalonium fissuratum Engelm.
Boletin. Alianza Cientifica Universal. Durango 3(4): 151
For more information regarding plants named by Carlos Patoni see "Related Links"
or search the Internet using the search term "patonii" (patoni with an extra i).
