Todd Farmerie and I place our money on the genealogy proposed by Jos M.
Canal Snchez-Pagn, in his article Jimena Muoz, Amiga de Alfonso VI,
_Anuario de estudios medievales_ 21 (1991), 11-40.

1. Jimena Muoz

2. count Munio Gonzlez of Cantabria (d. ca. 1085)
3. Mayor... (named as mother of Jimena in donation charter of 1120)

4. count Gonzalo Muoz of Asturias de Santillana
5. NN

8. count Munio Gonzlez of Alaba (10th c.)

The Maya connection is not one of the other propositions discussed by
Canal. Have others seen this theory in print?
