Hi Everyone,

After finding my correct family line, I've come to conclude the following:

My GGreat-Grandfather was Guadalupe Hernandez (Born ~1837), married to Cirila Gonzalez.

My GGGreat-Grandfather was Jose Maria Hernandez (Born ~1810 in Carrizal), married to Valentina Padilla

My GGGGreat-Grandfather was Ignacio Hernandez, married to Gertrudis Hernandez

This is where thing start to get a little blurry for me. I have records that suggest that Ignacio and Gertrudis had at least three sons (probably more), Jose Maria, Hilario (Ylario?), and Pedro Jose de Guadalupe.

I found a baptism record for a Jose Maria de Jesus Hernandez Hernandez (Very last record on the right side, continues onto slide# 158) with no grand-parents listed. Is this normal? Was it intentional or accidental?

Here: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939L-VP99-M1?i=156&cc=18745…

I also found a record for a Jose Ylario de Jesus Hernandez Hernandez, also no grand parents listed.

Here: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-FM91-Q6?i=439&cc=18745…

Lastly, a record for a Pedro Jose De Guadalupe Hernandez Hernandez, which does list paternal grandparents, that I can hardly make out as Juan Ignacio Hernandez y Ana(?) Maria(?) Orozco? Can anyone give a second opinion?

Here: (Last on the left page)

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-F99B-35?i=522&cc=18745…

Does anyone have anything about this family they can share?

Gracias primos,

Carlos

I'm currently in the process of learning how to read old documents. I want to get good at it because I'm consonantly frustrated by having access to great sources of historic and genealogical knowledge, but unable to understand more than 25% of the text.
This is what I came out with:

En el Rancho de la Buena Aventura en tres días del mes de diciembre, de mil seicientos noventa y cuatro años, ante mi, Felipe de la Torre, [bay/fay?] se [sentó/presentó?] el contenido de ella y por mi vista la ube por presentada y mando le ponga por [caueta/carrera?] [espa/desta/?]diligencias así lo probei y firme actuando como Juez [Regidor?] por falta de y [Criano/Oriano?] [illegible] el publico no estas en este partido de que dos fee:

Hello,

I'm looking for any information about the parents of Juan de la Torre Valdez (married to Juana Gamboa Villalobos)

I saw in several family trees online that Juan's father was Andres de la Torre, but unfortunately they don't list the documentary source to make this link. If anyone knows how they reached this conclusion, I would appreciated any info.

Thank you

PS...tengo un problemo...no hablo/escribo espanol. (but genealogy is one of my passions)

Como muchoas ya han de saber, todos los libros de las Tierras y Aguas sobre las propiedadades están disponibles digitalmente para poderlos consultar/As you might already know, all the books from Tierras y aguas, 1584-1866, are available to explore on

https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/278176?availability=Family%…

Me parece increible porque yo siempre he querido saber sobre las primeras personas que eran dueñas de todas esas tierras en Calvillo, Aguascalientes.Encontré muchos registros donde mencionan al valle de huejucar o mencionan tierras que probablemte se encontraban allí. El Valle de huejucar que ahora se conmoce como Calvillo, fue parte de la juridiccion de Juchip[ila por mas de dos siglos.
Which is amazing because I always wanted to find out who were the landowners in Calvillo, Aguascalientes back then known as Valle de Huejucar/Huejucar. Calvillo belonged to the Juchipila back then. I found various records that mention land within that area of Calvillo, but I've found it incredibly hard to read because there are new abbreviations, the terminology is different compared to the church records and also the writing is hard to understand.

1. Diego Flores en Juchipila. Se menciona a Valle de Huejucar

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSDL-6SC7-R?i=244&cat=…

2. Lazaro Calvillo. Se menciona que sus tierras son desde Ojocalientillo a la sierra de Teocaltiche. Lo que me hace pensar que se trate de un lugar actual de Calvillo que se llama arroyo de Ojocalientillo y la sierra de Teocaltiche ahora se llama Sierra de Laurel./ It mentions Ojocalientillo and the Sierra of Teocaltiche. I suppose that Ojocalientillo is now the place known in Calvillo as Arroyo de ojocalientillo, and The Sierra de Teocaltiche is the Sierra of Laurel?

Hello,

I need some help with the following marriage:

Luis de Salinas and Catharina de Biana married on aug 27, 1687 in Colotlan, Jalisco. I found the entry in the book Antiguas Familias de Tlaltenango (Arturo Ramos). I didn't see the actual record. According with the book the groom was from CIENEGA (the entry doesnt include the name of his parents). The bride was from ACATEPULCO and included the name of her parents (Francisco de Biana e Isabel Garcia).

After some research I found the bride's baptism in Aguascalientes, Aguas. But just the baptism, no brother and sisters or marriage of the parents.

question:
1. Where would you search for Luis de Salinas if he was from CIENEGA? I'm not clear if it could be Cienega de Mata (Lagos) or the region of Cienega (in Jalisco). I already looked in Familysearch (regular films already indexed only)

2. On the Bride's side (Biana / Viana) she was from ACATEPULCO, in other documents of the family is mentioned TENASCO. It is very possible that this family was linked to NICOLAS MAYORGA VIANA (He was also from Tenasco or his mother). Where would you look for her?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Hola,

Necesito ayuda con el siguiente matrimonio:

Luis de Salinas y Catharina de Biana se casaron el 27 de agosto de 1687 en Colotlán, Jalisco. Encontré la entrada en el libro Antiguas Familias de Tlaltenango (Arturo Ramos). Personalmente no he visto el documento. De acuerdo con el libro, el novio era de CIENEGA (la entrada no incluye el nombre de sus padres). La novia era de ACATEPULCO e incluía el nombre de sus padres (Francisco de Biana e Isabel García).

Después de algunas investigaciones encontré el bautizo de la novia en Aguascalientes, Aguas. Pero solo el bautismo, no hay hermanos y hermanas o el matrimonio de los padres.

pregunta:
1. ¿Dónde buscarías a Luis de Salinas si es de CIENEGA? No estoy segura si podría ser Cienega de Mata (Lagos) o la región de Cienega (en Jalisco). Ya busqué en Familysearch (films normales ya indexadas)

2. Por el lado de la Novia (Biana / Viana) era de ACATEPULCO, en otros documentos de la familia se menciona a TENASCO. Es muy posible que a esta familia este relacionada NICOLAS MAYORGA VIANA (también era de Tenasco o su madre). ¿Dónde los debo buscar?

Cualquier informacion la agradeceria mucho

Hello,
Does anyone have an index for the Padrones de México, 1752-1865? The index is found in films # 1149544 & 1224506.

The reason I ask is because there are 39 rolls and I'm looking for Calvillo and Jalpa (and the Juchipila/Huejucar areas in general).

I had looked at the 1792 padron (film 1520345) for Aguascalientes, but was disappointed to find that it seemed to miss a lot of people from Calvillo. So I thought it would be worthwhile to look at the other films to see if there might be more information. Hopefully someone will have the index to guide me to the correct film.

Thanks,
Arturo

PS. Here's some background information on the 1791-1793 census (source:
http://www.fsu.edu/~guadalaj/english/censuses/censuses.htm#revillagigedo )

Revillagigedo Censuses (1791-93: 24249)

The crown's viceroy in Mexico, Count Revillagigedo II, ordered his intendants to draw up three census lists: 1) the tributary population--Indians and mulattoes, 2) all eligible, "useful" men, meaning those who would be subject to military service in the colonial militia, and 3) a summary of the total population by ethnic and occupational categories. The third census project was undertaken under the authorization of the viceroy-appointed visitador, José Menéndez Valdés between 1791 and 1793. It encountered 24249 individuals, including the two "Indian" barrios of Analco and Mejicalcingo. Unfortunately, although the aggregate figures have survived, the manuscripts on which they are based have not.

Hola todos,

I came across this post by "Soy Arandas" on Facebook which piqued my interest. After reading it, I just figured it's an old ghost story told in and around Arandas. Considering the story mentions a Ouija board being used in the 1700's, easily discredits the story, as Ouija boards were created in the late 19th century. Although, methods of communication with the spirit world are allegedly centuries older. I digress.

The ghost story however, mentions the Aranda family, and the Hernandez-Gamiño family. The story tells about the first house in Arandas proper, "La casa de la alcantarilla", belonging to the Aranda family.

Do we have anything that suggest that this was truly the home of the Aranda family?

I've copied it below for your enjoyment:

NOS COMPARTEN ESTA HISTORIA, ¿HABÍAS ESCUCHADO DE ELLA?

El Ente.

From the moment I started researching the history of Aguascalientes, I realized that most of the large haciendas owned by our ancestors were land grants (mercedes de tierras) awarded by the Spanish crown to the early settlers and those who participated in que conquest of Mexico. Land grants were intended to promote agriculture, cattle breeding and mining in the area.

What I would like to know is where documentation on the early land grants is archived. Is it at the Archivo General de la Nación in Mexico City, at the Archivo Histórico de Nueva Galicia in Guadalajara, or at the Archivo General de Indias in Seville? I would like to know if Lope Ruiz de Esparza's "Estancia de Morcenique" was a land grant or if he actually purchased it from someone else. Lope was one of the early settlers of Aguascalientes. Other haciendas and ranches of interest are "San Bartholome" (aka San Bartolo) owned by Luis Tiscareño de Molina, Estancia de "El Agostadero" owned by Pedro Fernández de Vaulus, Labor de Chapultepeque" owned by Miguel López de Elizalde, "San Lorenzo" owned y Juan Bautista Ponce, "San Gerónimo" owned by Gerónimo de Orosco, "La Ciénega de Xiconaque" owned by Christóbal Lozano, Labor de "Los Gallos" owned by Pedro Macías Valadez, "Estancia de San Jacinto del Rincón" owned by Vicente Zaldívar y Mendoza, "El Picacho" owned by Salvador Ruiz de Esparza, etc. etc.

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

I found an interesting article titled “Presencia Judía en Los Altos De Jalisco”. The article explains how many of the first Spanish settlers in Los Altos De Villanueva, Nueva Galicia had some Jewish ancestry. Although I agree with its take on the Jewish roots, it is off base when it explains that our French ancestry comes from French soldiers in the 1900’s. Most of my French ancestry comes from the original settlers who not only had some Jewish ancestry, but also carried with them some French ancestry. In fact as in the case of Toribio Hernández Arellano, the French and Jewish lines were one and the same. In the case of my Reynoso ancestry we find an ancestral line that links to the royal family of France. My father’s dna shows he is 30% French while my mothers dna shows 14% French.

The article also states that many of the first settlers came from Sevilla. There were many Italians in Sevilla in the 15th century which helps account for my mothers dna showing 18% Italian. My dad’s dna only shows 3% Italian. All four of my grandparents descend from the founding families of Los Altos De Jalisco.

I’ve done some research of Alonso de Arevalo and Beatriz Lopez de Ayala who settled for a time in Colima. I've read several books referring to this couple. It lists the three children by this marriage as Pedro (Born abt. 1538), Gonzalo born abt.1540) and Diego (Born abt. 1541). One book even lists another son Francisco however his name does not come up again in any other accounts. These books with many articles provided much detail of about their lives in Colima but no information of the son Gonzalo’s marriage. Pedro who it appears did not marry was the oldest and along with a half-brother inherited most of his parent’s estate. According to written accounts when Pedro died he left no heirs.

So my question is how does this Gonzalo Lopez de Ayala directly link to the Pedro Ortiz de San Pedro and Maria Esquivel couple?

I’ve poured over the valuable information many of our group has contributed to revealing and linking the Arevalo and Lopez de Ayala family to Pedro Ortiz de San Pedro and Maria Esquivel. However I would appreciate any assistance to reconcile my understanding of the descendancy of this couple especially as it relates to a forum post, dated back on 07/22/2010.

Therein it was stated: Pedro Ortiz de San Pedro was the son of Juan Ortiz de San Pedro (Native of Toledo) and Catalina Lopez de Ayala. Pedro married Maria Esquivel and had daughter Cecilia Lopez who married first Hernando de Haro followed by Felipe Dias de Santiago. This post also mentions another Gonzalo Lopez de Ayala the “Maestre de Campo” for Nuño Beltran de Guzman who in 1529 initiated a campaign in the areas of Colima, Tepic, Jalisco, Michoacan etc. The same post lists Pedro’s brothers respectively as Gonzalo (el Mozo) and Jeronimo Ortiz de San Pedro.

It’s my assumption neither of the Gonzalo’s mentioned here is the son of Alonso Arevalo and Beatriz Lopez de Ayala based on the timeframe of Gonzalo de Lopez’s participation as Maestre de Campo.

Additionally I’ve reviewed a document “Relación de la Entrada de Nuño de Guzman” authored in 1529 by de Guzman’s appointed scribe and interpreter, Garcia del Pilar of this campaign. It mentions the Maestre de Campo, Gonzalo Lopez several times never using the de Ayala surname. This Relación also precludes the possibility the son named Gonzalo born to Alonso Arevalo and Beatriz Lopez de Ayala is the Gonzalo referred to a “Maestre de Campo” are one and the same.

It makes me sad that a lot of my ancestors from Tamazula came from Cotija and I can't find anymore information.

In this case my ancestor was from Sahuayo according to his marriage record, it also mentions that they received a dispensation from the Bishop.... it must have been from Guadalajara, but I can't find anything on that year on the dispensations page nor their IM (Informacion Matrimonial) which would probably have the information on the relatives.

Any information you guys may know or have is appreciated

Hi all,

Does anyone have any information regarding the surname Medrano in San Francísco Cerro Gordo, or Atontonilco?

I've just made a connection with a 3rd cousin through 23andMe. My great grandfather was Silviano Medrano born in 1904 in Jalisco, married to Maria Vazquez. I found out his father was Sixto Medrano, born in 1870 in Jalisco, married to Albina Medina.

My 3rd cousin's GGrandfather was Albino Medrano. They also had another brother named Mucio Medrano. My 3rd cousin says her grandfather was Mayan Indian and Chichmacan. This leads me to ask where they would have gotten the surname "Medrano" if this were the case.

The surname Medrano has Spanish origins. It even seems to be sort of an uncommon surname. Does anyone know the origins of this surname in this area?

Thanks!

Hola primas y primos,

Since many of our novagallega lines originated in or drifted into Guanajuato, SLP and Michoacan, here are some of the padrones from those jurisdictions, to assist you with your research. These are primarily for the Spanish communities; padrones for Indian communities can be found on the same rolls.

Saludos!

Hola, Buenas Noches.

Queridos compañeros y paisanos. Alguien tendrá información acerca de Felipe Díaz de Lomas?
En mi investigación tengo que se caso el 15 de febrero de 1705 en la Villa de Aguas Calientes, caso con Josefa de Medina posiblemente hija de Cristóbal de Medina y de María de Ávila, así como Felipe como posible hijo de Antonio o Diego Díaz de Lomas, aunque no he encontrado un enlace directo con ellos, porque no hay información matrimonial de dicho matrimonio en los registros parroquiales, por eso pido ayuda en este foro por si alguien tendrá información adicional que me pueda ayudar a vincular a Felipe y a Josefa con dichas familias. Gracias por su apoyo de antemano.

Hi, I'm Mayra and I've only recently (about a month or so) started doing genealogy research. I've found this fascinating and I've really enjoyed discovering my family's history. My mom sometimes jokes about how I'm finding secrets they thought would never be found. So far, my researched has focused on my mother's side of the family. It seems that a lot of distant relatives are working on it so our research has crossed and a lot of information is already easily accessible on familysearch.com. However, I would like to build my fathers side too.

On my father's side, I had to start from scratch but I've make a lot of progress. I found most of the information I needed through research on ancestry.com. However it seems I have come to a brick wall. My mom always told me they descended from a tribe native to that region of Jalisco. I'm not sure if that is going to make it more difficult to find what I'm looking for since I'm not sure how well documented that would be.

On my mother's side I'm still interested in finding more on the Alvarez line leading overseas. I've already found that the Munguia line (my great grandmother [on my grandfather's side] maternal side) leads to Italy. I'm working on my maternal grandmothers line as well. I've come to a dead end there too. It seems there were some last name changes and that may prove to cause some difficulty in my research.

Paternal Family Line: Beltran

1. Victor Santiago Beltran Aguilar, son of Rosalio Beltran(1910-1979) and Guadalupe Aguilar (1913 -??). They were married in Tapalpa, Jalisco in 1929. I'm assuming they were both born in Tapalpa and then moved to Ciudad Guzman after their marriage.

2. Rosalio Beltran Cardenas, son of Jose Beltran and Paula Cardenas. I have been unable to find anything past them on that line.

Paternal line: Garcia

1. Higineo Garcia (1892 - 1967), son of Nicomedes Garcia and Justa Baltazar. He was born in Ciudad Guzman, Jalisco. His wife Juana Garcia (1894-1960).

2. Nicomedes Garcia (1857 - ??), son of Jorge Garcia and Sebastiana Garcia. I don't know why, but I feel like this side would lead to the tribe my mom mentioned.

I have more research on some of the other branches but this is where some of my walls are currently found and where I would like to expand.

Hello everyone,

My name is Jesse Castaneda and I live in Houston, Texas. I'm new genealogy but I find that I really enjoy the work of discovering my family's history. So far, my researched has focused on my late father's side of the family. As a matter of fact, both of my parents are deceased and I think that's part of the reason I find this work so enjoyable. It seems like each discovery brings me a little bit closer to them and who I am.

On my father's side, I've make a lot of progress.

Paternal Family Line
The Castaneda Family Marriage: Year / Location

1. Pedro de Castaneda & Jacinto de Sotomayor y Ruelas (my favorite) 1618 / Mexico City
2. Nicolas de Castaneda & Ana de Vargas 1656 / Pinos, Zacatecas

6. Joseph Maria Rosalino Castaneda Diaz & Maria Petronila Alvares 1782 / Pinos, Zacatecas
7. Miguel Castaneda & Maria Paulina Gomez 1804 / Pinos, Zacatecas
8. Francisco Castaneda & Dominga Avila 1839 Pinos, Zacatecas
9. Eustaquio Castaneda & Paula Quirino NO RECORDS FOUND approx: 1856 (Pinos, Zacatecas)?
10. Serapio Castaneda & Clara Martinez NO RECORDS FOUND approx: 1897 (Rio Grande, Zaca.)?
11. Isidro Castaneda & Francisca Narvaez NO RECORDS FOUND approx: approx. 1936 (Carrizo Springs, TX)
12. Jesus Castaneda & Lidia Rangel approx: 1955 (Carrizo Springs, TX)
13. Jesus Joseph Castaneda Jr (me)

That's my current family line but I still have much work to do. I've got a lot of holes to
fill and it seems like I'm just about to jump across the pond to Spain. I'm very excited about that possibility.

If any of you have done work with any part of my family line, please let me know. I'd really like anyone to help m;e double check my work.

Now, while I've done a lot of work on my father's side of the family, it's my
mother's side that is going to prove to be the greatest challenge.

At this point, I ONLY know my grandmother and my great grandmother's name. I can't prove anything else. This is my mystery to solve: WHO WAS MY GRANDMOTHER AND WHERE DID SHE COME FROM? She said she come from Monterrey, but that's all I know.

Hi, I’m looking for a file of a census taken in 1861 to establish a new municipal of Degollado, Jalisco. A historian from Degollado wrote me this. “El censo de 1861, lo hizo don Jose Maria Navarro, primera autoridad civil, ( mas no presidente) por ordenes del gobernador con el fin de saber si se contaba con la cantidad de habitante para poder nombrarlo Municipio, faltaron como 200 para ello, sin embargo se logro el objetivo, y esto sale de los archivos del Congreso del estado de jalisco.”
Would family search have these archives? Does anyone know where I can look for this? I found this website http://congresoweb.congresojal.gob.mx/bibliotecavirtual/ but can’t find anything on this.

Thank you
Esther

Hi everyone,

I've been doing some research on my Hernandez (paternal) bloodline. I've come across records for siblings to my GGrandfather that were baptized in Arandas, born in "El Posito". Is/was this a Rancho?

My GGrandfather was born in Piedras Blancas, so how far is/was "El Posito" from there?

Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I have traced my La Riva line to Tomas Jaquez who married in San Juan Del RIo, Durango in 1689. The marriage record stated he was from Somberette, Zacatecas. I guess he was he was born about 1660. I can't find church records for that period in Somberette. I suspect the family was French. I am looking for any information for the early colonial Somberette. I would like the names of several books just on Somberette. I know about the mines but outside of the Toolosa and Ybarra familes I do not know about other families living there. I know by looking at some immigration records, some Jacquez came from Flanders. If anyone can give me any clues or suggestions I would most appreciate it.

Thanks,

AyalaRobles

-------------- Original message from Latina1955@aol.com: --------------

    Within the last 2-3 months, someone posted a message which included the address of a Mexican governmental website that has online historical maps of various parts of Mexico.  I can't find that site, and, as I recall, when I did visit it, I couldn't find the maps I was looking for.  Specifically, I'm looking for the hacienda/rancho maps of northeast Jalisco near Encarnacion de Diaz, the ranchos southwest of Jerez, Zacatecas, and the rural areas around Durango, Durango.

Can someone please direct me in the right direction?
