I finally found some records for my Martin del Campo ancestors from
microfilms I ordered through the LDS church. In Film No. 1950892, Deaths
1941, in the civil register for the municipio of Guadalajara in Guadalajara,
Jalisco, I found my great-grandfather's death record. It coincides with the
information I placed on my ancestral chart in the members genealogy files.
The record confirms that Alberto Martin Del Campo died on July 30, 1941. I
had put the 31st in my ancestral chart, but that was the day of his burial,
because that initial information I had gotten was from his death notice from
the church where his funeral took place. He died of "miocardibis"? I guess
it's "myocardia," which I think is a heart attack. It is wonderful, because
this record verifies his parent's names, Ismael Martin del Campo and Rita
Robles, and that he lived in Guadalajara, even his address at the time of
his death.
The second record was from Film No. 1950873, Deaths & Marriages 1936 in the
civil register for the municipio of Guadalajara in Guadalajara, Jalisco. It
is of my great-grandmother's death record, Francisca Cabral. The record
confirms her date of death as it is given on her headstone at the Municipal
Cemetery in Guadalajara, October 20, 1936. It states her cause of death was
"cirrosis atrofica de Leenes"? I don't know what that is. But, it also
confirms her parents being Benigno Cabral and Pioquinta Gonzalez.
In both records, it states their race as being "mestizo mexicano" which I
guess means they were of Spanish and Indian ancestry?
Anyways, I have kept notes on other Martin del Campos found in microfilms I
have searched through. The family history center where I live has
microfilms there for parish records in Tepatitlan, Jalisco, baptisms
1877-1900, Fillm No. 0218470, Film No. 0218468, and 1844-1877, Film No.
0218469. There aren't any Martin del Campos on those films, but they are
readily available for me to look at.
>From Film No. 38493, Parish Records for the Santuario de Nuestra Senora de
Guadalupe Church in Guadalajara, baptisms 1929-1933, there were four Martin
del Campo records:
