Hello, could someone tell me where "La Joya" is located? I believe I found a document from a relative that states he is from La Joya, Mexico. I found a census showing a person with the same name and age circa in Jalisco. Is there a 'La Joya" in Jalisco, and if so, what town would I search for his birth records? Thank you

Now I need some help with Información matrimonial. I found a record in FamilySearch for Placido Xavier and Maria Antonia Bernardina De Los Reyes with a marriage date of 4 May 1757 in El Sagragrio. I have looked at all of the records for the month of May 1757 and I cannot see anything.

I will admit that I am a little confused by the different types of documents that I am seeing, so I am asking for help. I have looked at pages 178 - 239. I had the same problem with baptismal certificates until someone explained them, so now I need help with marriages.

Very helpful thanks!!

My 7th Generation Great Grandparents are:

Antonio Madera (1660 - 1709) and Maria De La Candelaria Angon (1655 - 1735)
First pic is the defunto of Maria De La Candelaria Angon (year 1735):

Second pic is defunto of Anna Delgado (year 1736)who I am wondering if she was another women of his???:

http://oi57.tinypic.com/jfg3s9.jpg

Both say they are the mujer of "Antonio Madera" and of Minillas.

But my line is from Antonio Madera/Maria De La Candelaria Angon

Third Pic Is the marriage record of Manuela Madera the daughter of Antonio Madera/Maria De La Candelaria Angon. Which is dated 3/2/1709. And it clearly gives reference that "Antonio Madera defunto" he was already deceased when his daughter Manuela Madera got married.

But the brother of Manuela Madera, Joseph Madera (1686 - 1734) is my 6th Generation Great Grandfather:

first I what to say Iam new to the group and I want to say thank you for inviting me to be part of something special. My question is are there any records from 1913- 1917 from jalpa zacatecas, mexico I have seen 1912 and 1918 but not in between thank you.

And, as usual, I forgot to include the link to my folder.

I uploaded 4 files today for the Surez paternal great grandparents.

In the process of finalizing these charts, I discovered an interesting problem. All of the baptismal certificates of the children of Jose Luis Suarez list their paternal grandparents as Marcelo Suarez and Marcela Sanches. I could only find 1 record for a child of these parents - Jose Santiago Suarez born 25 julio 1814 and baptized 18 julio at El Sagrario. But I did find records for 4 other children, including Jose Norato, that list the mother as Marcela Sanches but give the name of the father as Marcelo Placido. Of course there are no records further back for either Marcelo Suares or Marcelo Placido. Some of the Placido baptimal certificates list his father as unknown, 1 as Jose Placido difunto and several as Xavier Placido. All of them list the paternal grandmother as Maria Antonia Reyes. The record for the grandson Jose Santiago Suarez, lists his paternal grandfather's name as Jose Maria Garcia - but I am convinced that this is the same family, because it gives the same name for his maternal grandparents.

Anyway, any suggestions are appreciated. I am guessing it is too much to hope that anyone is familiar with this family.

Oh, a padrino at the baptism of Jose Santiago is Tomas Placido. When I look at records for his children, they all show paternal grandparents as Xavier Placido and Maria Antonia Reyes. Apparently Tomas and Marcelo were brothers.

While we've made good progress in other lines, we continue to get stuck with the line through Purisima del Rincon. Unfortunately, they didn't include paternal/maternal abuleos in the baptism records. There are lots of abbreviations in Atanasio's baptism record that we're curious about, particularly if the "YeO" is referencing a location or perhaps an indicator that he's "Indio". It seems to be used on some other records in the same volume. We have found 2 siblings, and one has the same abbreviation on his record. Any insight is appreciated.

I have not had success in finding baptism certificates in El Sagrario for
the years 1807-1812. When I do a general search in FamilySearch, I find 2
children listed for Pablo Hernandes and Cerbula Canedo, which indicates to
me that certificates exist. But when I look in this link I cannot find the
certificates.

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-266-11003-70001-34?cc=1502404&…

This is the period when certificates were in different books depending on
whether you were "espanol" or "indio". I believe that the certificates
would be found in the "castas" book, because all other certificates for
this family were indio.

The 2 specific certificates I am looking for are for Jose Susano Hernandes,
baptized 3 June 1808 and Maria Yrinea Hernandes, baptized 18 April 1810.
The link that took me to this information was:

https://familysearch.org/search/record/results?count=20&query=%2Bsurnam…~

The certificates for this time period are very difficult to read because of
the handwriting, but I have looked and looked. Maybe I am just missing
them, but I am frustrated. Any help or suggestions will be greatly
appreciated.

Does anyone know of any archives that contains information of Correo Maritomo?

There is some in the PARS website. But that topic is new to me as I ran across it by chance when I browsed archives in the PARS website.

I think it has to do with transporation of mail from Spain to the colonies and the mainland in Mexico. I wonder if there is some kind of registry or archive of that and the routes or how or where the mail was distributed in Zacatecas, Jalisco, Aguascalientes.

Born in Zapotlan el Grande 1747 to parents Juan Jose Dias and Gertrudis Reyes

In relation to genealogy we are trying to fill out the details of why he assumed his mother's last name, thus creating generations of Reyes descendants rather than Dias descendants.

We are also interested in learning his parents second surname....assuming Dias was his father's surname, what was his mother's line? Ditto with Reyes' mother's other surname.

In some of the records he is listed as Mexican, in others as Mestizo, and in the 1790 Census he is listed as Mulatto. Any information on his parents, grandparents heritage might be helpful in clarifying this (although we recognize he could easily be all three -- born in Mexico of Native and Nego parents would make him Mexican, Mestizo and Mulatto.

We have Reyes genealogy going forward forward and it will be posted here in response to any specific queries. But it becomes a large family very quickly and our plan is to post a link to the genealogy page being developed on the La Senora website as soon as the formats and our new website are live this summer. His grandson, Ysidro Reyes was the co-grantee, with Francisco Marquez, of the 1839 Mexican Land Grant Rancho Boca de Santa Monica (on a part of which La Senora Research Institute is located.)

This next part is not genealogical....and I'll also place it over in general/non genealogical research, but it's posted here just in case someone helping with genealogy stumbles across the 1768-1772 info on Reyes. Here's what we know:

Juan Francisco Reyes left Zapotlan el Grande in 1768-9 to work in the ship yards of San Blas where the Spanish Exploration Party was preparing to depart. Apparently he left with them (unidentified by name and seen only as one of the 'four mexicans' who accompanied the party). Researchers at UCLA believe that he may not have been Catholic (hence not named as a soldier when he left Mexico) but since was improbable to be with Serra and not become Catholic, and he's found represented in later incarnations as a Soldado del Cuera, and his location (Carmel) is demonstrated when he turns up working at the Mission with Padre Serra (who signed Reyes Marriage Investigation,) they feel it's obvious he must have gone with the exploration parties. There was no other means transportation to Alta California at that time.

Looking to see if there is a George E. Mayorga in the Nuestros Ranchos group
(Already checked so I think not).

Or does anyone know either of a living George E. Mayorga that is into
genealogy for our area of research

Or does anyone know of a recently deceased (last 50-100 years) George E.
Mayorga from our area of research AND the people that have this person in
their genealogy

Reason: Family Tree showed a GeorgeEMayorga that made some additions to my
Rivas family and left no way for me to contact this person. So I'm trying to
find him/her/them.

Thanks for any help on this,

Joseph

I found the baptismal record for Jose Susano in Bautiismos de Castas
1807-1812, Image #139, entry 63. This is in the Aguascalientes film
record of course. Other info: parents are Pablo de la Cruz Hernandez,
Cerbula Canedo; paternal grandparents are Simon Hernandez, Maria Ynes
Flores; maternal grandparents are Francisco Canedo, Paual Ceferina;
godmother is Felipa Hernandez. [My computer misspelled the name
Canedo.] The baptism took place in the town of Jesus Maria in the
parish of Aguas.

Maria Yrinea's record is on Image 380 in the same film as above. The
other info is the same. In this film the baptisms for Jesus Maria are
written after the ones for Aguas. Good luck with your searches.

I am looking at this video about the legend of giants in Tala, Jalisco, Mexico:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHHoib4KuVU

Says they were called "chinametin" and were 35 feet tall.

In the Tala Jalisco Government website it does talk about the legend of giants:

http://www.talajalisco.gob.mx/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=150:…

Teuchitlán was the ancient city of Tala dating back to 300 BC to 200 AD:

http://www.talajalisco.gob.mx/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=150:…

"Esta es una zona de civilización exclusiva de la zona Occidente de México, principalmente de Jalisco y se ubica en las faldas del volcán de Tequila. El desarrollo de la tradición Teuchitlán se dio en la época formativa tardía (300 a.C. hasta 200 d. C.). En Teuchitlán se encontraba la ciudad más importante, que contaba con ocho barrios distintos, de los cuales tres se ubicaban en la zona que hoy conocemos como Tala."

Teuchitlan is this ancient place that has circular shaped pyramids:

Piggy-backing on the conversation about who's Latino, I was wondering what people mark for race on census and other forms. Until a few years ago, I marked "white," like the vast majority of non-black Latinos. But some friends got me to think about it, and I reached the conclusion (before DNA testing) that I, like most of us of Mexican ancestry, am more NA in culture than white (Spanish). My DNA testing only reinformed my belief, since I'm a B2.

I know very few Mexicans who mark NA, and I even checked the info on my students. Hasta los más morenos are identified as white.

Of course, one problem is that being called an "indio" is a big putdown, so I'm guessing most Mexicans won't be checking NA anytime soon.

Thoughts?
