Dear Friends and Family:

I have exciting news to share about the National Museum of the Latino Community. A featured session which I attended at the 2013 NCLR conference in New Orleans was entitled: The Making of America: Untold Stores from American Latino History. The panel was assembled under the auspices of the PBS Project, Latino Americans, a three-part, six-hour documentary series set to air nationally in the fall.

Description of the panel:
Despite a 500-year presence in North America, Latino culture, heritage, and history are severely underrepresented in educational curriculum, historic landmarks, and cultural institutions. National groups are working intently to uncover, document, and bring forward the many contributions that Hispanic Americans have made to this country since its formation.

Since most Latino activism has focused on issues of education, employment, medical needs, immigration, etc.it was of particular interest to note attention being paid to our history. The main topic which kept repeating itself throughout the panel discussion was the need for public family stories written from the Latino perspective.
Estuardo Rodriguez and Maria Cardona, both members of the Friends of the American Latino Museum, and Eduardo Diaz, Executive Director of the Smithsonian Latino Center pleaded for personal family stories to be written and shared.

Since I had already decided that in 2014, Somos Primos was going to move towards an even more heavy emphasis on personal and family histories, I was delighted.

I hope all of us can support the National Museum of the Latino Community by starting now to collect, compile, write or record our memories The Smithsonian wants YOUR memories in preparation for the Museum's projected archives.

Hola a todos:

Estoy muy contento, porque hace un par de días publiqué un tema de foro titulado "Linaje Aranda". Afortunadamente, traté de buscarle por otros lados y encontré una hermana de mi ancestro, cuyos padres no los encontraba en ningún lado. Total, que en un acta encuentro el verdadero apellido de mi antepasada Josefa, quién no era ni Ribera ni Acuña, sino Ortiz, ya con este dato encontré su acta de matrimonio con Antonio Roque de Aranda y Salas. Por Aranda, entronco de nuevo con la ciudad de Aguascalientes. Por Aranda, llegó hasta Esteban de Aranda, casado con Josefa González Ramírez, en Aguascalientes, el 31 de Diciembre de 1714, ya no pude continuar dicho apellido, ya que Esteban está como hijo de padres no conocidos.

Ahora, lo que quería pedirles su apoyo en esta ocasión, ya que estoy muy ansioso por continuar esta parte de mi árbol, es por lo padres de la citada Josefa González Ramírez, que lo fueron Salvador González y Catalina Ramírez y Ruiz de Esparza. De ellos no tengo acta de matrimonio, pero sí las fechas en que murieron (Salvador en 1710 en Aguascalientes y Catalina en 1747 en Aguascalientes, dice el acta de defunción que es viuda de Salvador González e hija de Juan Ramírez y Luisa de Esparza). Si alguien tiene información de cualquiera de las personas antes mencionadas lo agradecería mucho.

Lo segundo, es una dispensa que sé que se encuentra en el libro de Luz Montejano, pero yo no tengo dicho libro por lo que sí alguien pudiera hacerme el favor de transcribirme la dispensa de Francisco de Salas con María Catalina Díaz, por un parentesco de segundo con tercero grado de consanguinidad y fechada me parece que el 18 de Octubre de 1717 en Teocaltiche, Jalisco. Ya que busco a los padres de Gertrudis Díaz aka Hernández, casada con Patricio Salas. Igualmente si alguien tiene datos de estos Salas que vivían en Lagos y en Aguascalientes también lo apreciaría mucho.

Gracias por sus atenciones.
Saludos.

Revisando la Capellania fundada por mi 8vo abuelo el Capitan Nicolas Sánchez-Castellanos adverti que algunos datos de la historia de Monte Escobedo no concuerdan, Nicolas obtiene en 1689 de Juan de Escobedo varios sitios de ganado mayor y varias caballerías en 1717 funda la capellanía sobre las tierras de su Hacienda Santa Rosa de Viterbo (hoy solo un pequeño rancho),esta capellanía es lo que hoy es la Ex Hacienda de Santa Teresa y el capellan asignado fue su nieto Br Juan de Escobedo y Sánchez-Castellanos hijo del Cap. Antonio de Escobedo y Valenzuela y de Rosa Sánchez-Castellanos, en el testamento Nicolas asigan a sus hijos una cantidad cercana a los 5000 pesos a cada uno y especifica todas sus propiedades y pertenencias, dicha capellanía debía dar 25 misas rezadas al año y celebrar 5 celebraciones especiales para San Antonio de Padua, San Francisco de Asis, San Juan Bautista, Santa Rosa y San Nicolas de Tolentino. Rosa al parecer hereda la propiedad donde su hijo era capellan y junto con su esposo Antonio Administran la propiedad.

El nombre de Hacienda de Santa Teresa comienza a aparecer en los documentos de bautizos y muertes en los 1720´s y por el momento no hay ningún documento que yo conozca que la Hacienda de Santa Teresa ya existía (tal vez propiedad de los Escobedo).

En base a las búsquedas tengo la certeza de que la cuna de los Sánchez-Castellanos fue Tepechitlan,Zacatecas, después de una diáspora a finales del siglo XVII la región que mas Sánchez-Castellanos tuvo fue en San Andres del Astillero (Hoy Monte Escobedo,Zacatecas). Aunque en la zona de Jerez también tuvieron mucho auge económico y en Jerez es donde son mas conocidos por los genealogistas.

Hello my name is Michael, and i am researching information on Antonio de Cuellar who was married to Josefa Macias Valadez. they were married on November 29, 1681 in Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes, Mexico. I know that Antonio Cuellar lived in "the Sauz de Cuellar". which was a large farm land near the boarder of Jalisco, Mexico and Agauscalientes, Mexico boarder. part of which has now been renovated by the city as a historical area while the remaining was real estate developed. i have information on their children and several generations after. i am hoping to find the parents of antonio de Quellar so i can continue my research.

If anyone is interested in attending this year's conference please be sure

I am trying to locate an archive of the names of spanish galleons that sailed to Mexico during the colonial period.

I know that the term "Flota de Indias" was referred to the Spanish galleons.

While I was trying to find it, I ran across an interesting Capitan name Blas de Lezo who was a Capitan of Spanish Armada and was known as one of the best naval strategic capitans of the Spanish Armada:

I was reading a blog:

http://www.miguelberumen.blogspot.com/

Which talks about history of Villa de Xerez and has a map of the year 1772:

http://imageshack.us/scaled/landing/594/n2kx.jpg

Also talks about the migration of the Berumen family to Zacatecas, Mexico?

And in the blog it mentions that in Villa de Xerex around the year 1802, there was a very beautiful woman named: María Emerenciancia de la Torre who has pretty green eys and long hair and this is painting of her:

http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/9268/avjb.jpg

"Por la calle cerrada de la Parroquia vivía en ese entonces, una hermosa dama, ya treintañera, que por causa de sus celosos y bravucones hermanos no se había casado. De grandes ojos verdes y largo pelo que brillaba con tintes cobrizos. Integrante de una de las familias de más abolengo en la villa, era más conocida por su apodo que por su nombre, el cual seguramente se lo impuso su padre en un momento de embriaguez: María Emerenciana. Emerenciana de la Torre levantaba los suspiros de los habitantes de la villa, y también de otras villas, pero refrenaban sabiamente sus suspiros al conocer el carácter belicoso de los hermanos. La llamaban “la castaña” refiriéndose al color de su pelo. En la primera misa de ese domingo de abril de 1803"

Hi, Everyone,

I am tracing my ancestry back in Zacoalco de Torres through the 1800s and I got stuck on my great-great-great-grandparents. Here is what I have:

Jose Santos Reynaga b. Abt 1864 m. Cristina Frias b. Abt. 1864
-Maria Concepcion Reynaga b. 21 May 1884, Zacoalco m. Crispiniano Toribio b. Abt 1871, Zacoalco
+Victoria Toribio Reynaga de Ruiz b. 5 Sep1904, Zacoalco
+Jose Alfonso Toribio Reynaga b. 14 Aug 1906, Zacoalco

I need to find parents for both Jose Santos Reynaga and Cristina Frias. I can't find any record of their births or marriage. I've searched many volumes of records from Zacoalco. I do not know if they were born in Zacoalco. I checked the hijos naturales, as well, and still had no luck. There are a few other people across Mexico with similar names, but I am just lost on how to find the next generation back. I estimated their DOB based on their child's DOB.

Also, I can't find a birth or baptism record for Maria Concepcion Reynaga. I found her DOB on her immigration record when she came up to California to visit her daughter Victoria. She lived in Tijuana for a time with Jose Alfonso.

Do any of you have these people in your tree? Can you help me find their records?

Thank you!
Natalie Estrada

Hi, My name is Rich and I am trying to research my heritage. I have been
able to compile some data, but have come to a stop. Any suggestions is
appreciated, below is what I have found so far.

My Father was Jose de Jesus Huizar born abt 1905 and believe came to the US
in 1925. His sisters were Sostenes Huizar unknown birth, Josefina Huizar
born 1910 and Amalia Huizar born 1912, all being from Colotlan, Jalisco,
Mexico.

I believe their parents were Apolonio Huizar born abt 1874 and Ma Cruz
Flores born abt 1881. I believe Apolonio had a brother named Ygnacio Huizar
which was born abt 1887 (my uncle).

I have found paperwork showing Ynacio's parents were Luis Huizar and
Francisca Salamanca, which would make them my great grandparents. I found
documents showing they were married in San Luis, Colotlan, Jalisco, Mexico
on Feb 1, 1871. I also found documents showing maybe they had a daughter
named Domitila Huizar which was christened in June of 1879 in San Luis
Obispo, Colotlan, Jalisco, Mexico.

I have not been able to locate birth certificates or death certificates to
confirm any of this yet.

Any help or suggestions is appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any help, Rich

The conference is in September, and I plan on going (assuming someone checks their email soon!). I was wondering if anyone else from here will be there. Since it starts so early, I'm thinking of going over on Friday night and staying at a hotel (Sacto is a two hour drive for me).

I he encontrado una record bautismo que enumera el padre como Ramón Becerra, y la los abuelos paternos como Alejandro Becerra y la Aurelia Garcia. Sin embargo, en un documento militar, Ramón aparece como Ramón Franco Becerra. ¿Es probable que él es Ramón Becerra Franco García, y el "Franco" fue parte del apellido de su padre? Estoy teniendo problemas para encontrar cualquier documento adicional sobre Ramón o de sus padres.

I have found a baptism record that lists the father as Ramon Becerra, and the paternal grandparents as Alejandro Becerra and Aurelia Garcia. However, on a military document, Ramon is listed as Ramon Becerra Franco. Is it likely that he's Ramon Becerra Franco Garcia, and the "Franco" was part of his father's surname? I'm having difficulty finding any additional documents about Ramon or his parents.

I can't read much of this, I'd appreciate some help.

Has anyone been able to find from which side of the family did Ana Francisca and Maria Gabay got their surname? I have tried to find that surname among Spanish surnames with little success. However, I have found that Gabay or Gabai is a Jewish surname. Further I learned that Gabay is a person that performs duties similar to an usher. Here is a description:

"In Judaism, a person who helps to organize the running of a synagogue service; one or more gabai may be involved. Duties include welcoming visitors, ensuring that everyone has a siddur (prayer book), organizing the seating arrangements, and choosing the congregants who will open the ark or read from the Torah. The gabai will also ensure that the wine is present for the kiddush, a prayer recited over wine before it is shared by the congregation."

Any ideas?

I've run into an Iron Curtain with my 4th GGF Diego Martin Flores. He was born probably abt 1730 and died 27 Jul 1808 in Colotlan. He married my 4th GGM Gertrudis Leano. de la Torre (Montelongo)who died 15 Feb 1772 in Colotlan. I believe their fist child was Jose Agapito Flores b. 15 Mar 1754 in Colotlan, Jalisco. Together they had 8 children that I know of.

Diego Martin Flores remarried on 3 Jul 1772 Colotlan with Maria Felipa De La Encarnacion Enriquez naturale child of Maria Manuela De La Luz Enriquez. Felipa has been referred occassionally with "De Mier" surname. Together with Diego Martin Flores they had at least 10 children with the eldest Juan Paulino Flores b. Jul 1773 in Colotlan.

I have looked at Diego's photo-film records of his 18 children's baptisms, his death record, his marriage record with Felipa and there is no mention of who his parents were. I even looked for a photo-record marriage testamony prior to his marriage with Felipa BUT could not find one.

I've tried several parishes from Zacatecas and Jalisco but came up empty.
Does anyone out there have any suggestions??
