Romo (de Vivar) Family in Jalisco andAguascalientes
Tepatitlan is not that far from Aguascalientes........people traveled long distances all the time. It might take them days or weeks to get there but travel they did. Keep in mind that they did not go to work every day if they were agrarians, they grew their subsistence crops and in fallow times would travel from town to town to see family. Some were traveling merchants whose living it was to go from town to town selling their wares. In many instances these traveling merchants up and left their home town if they found another town more desirable with better prospects for making a living. Some males had families in more than one town, they might take up with someone in another town.
So many possibilities exist, some up and left if they or a family member had killed someone. They would change their name and take up life in another town under an assumed name, quite often it was a grandmother's surname or some other family name.
Keep your mind open to all the possibilities and don't assume that any town could be too far.

Guess we are family :-)
I had the same issue with Bernabe!
It is very common to have records from great distances this way. There was a lot of movement during that time as a lot of families were still settling. Ill email you more info abt Bernabe tonight.
Saludos!!
