TEST SITE - DO NOT USE - Development only

I'm hoping someone can help me find the testament and capellania for Marcos Gonzalez from Jalpa who died in 1670. For some reason his death is registered in Aguascalientes on 08 April 1670--did he die in Aguascalientes?:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-266-11773-146417-83?cc=1502404…

His wife is Juana Gonzalez Lozano and his brother is Nicolas Gonzalez. Marcos Gonzalez was the owner of the Hacienda San Andres which was located between Jalpa and Calvillo (this information is from the Tierra & Aguas records). The death record says that Marcos made a will (testamento) and also funded a capellania.

I have a hard time reading some of the abbreviations--what else does the record say? Is the capellania in Jalpa or Aguascalientes? Is Juan Romo de Vibar the notary that wrote the will?

Has anyone gone thru the capellania records found in the Diócesis de Guadalajara? I started looking, but they're not in any particular order:

Thanks in advance.

It's been quite some time, and I have recently updated my tree, and I wish to update it here. I am using myheritage.com. Can you help?

I believe Estefana did have different parents. (I'm going over old notes a distant cousin wrote for me.) this cousin had Estefana listed as having Tadeo Dias & Genoveva as the parents. But I do remember hearing him say that Tadeo had a twin. I believe Estefana was the daughter of that twin.

The other interesting fact (possibility), is that the family of Tadeo Dias connects on two branches of my paternal line. (My paternal grandmother and grandfather).

(This also happened on my maternal line as well.) I know it was not uncommon to marry ones cousin back in those days.

I have reviewed a dispensation that identifies Sebastian de Avila as the son of Nicolas de Avila (and with further research, Sebastian's mother was Gertrudis Falcon de la Garza). Sebastian's wife is most commonly known as Lugarda (or Josefa Lugarda) Dias de Leon (or sometimes her last name is Becerra).

I am trying to locate the marriage records for Sebastian and Lugarda and Nicolas and Gertrudis. Sebastian and Lugarda had children born in Ojuelos and Pinos (the children were born between 1771-1791), but the marriage records in Ojuelos don't reach as far back as 1770/1771 as far as I can tell. Is there another city where those records could be kept?

Nicolas and Gertrudis had children in Pinos and San Felipe, Guanajuato; the oldest child I have found so far was baptized in 1727 in Pinos. I have not located a marriage record for Nicolas and Gertrudis, yet, but I'm hoping someone on NR has encountered it in Pinos or elsewhere. Nicolas is noted as the brother of Bernardo de Avila, who in turn is the son of Juan Lopez de Avila and Juana de Trujillo.

Any help would be appreciated,

Rosalinda

Hope I'm doing this right.

I'm looking for Estefana Dias and her marriage to REdecindo Torres. Estefana's parents were Tadeo Dias and Genoveva Leanos. They resided in Santa Maria De Los Angeles,Jalisco,Mexico. The closest date I have is 1846 when a brother Florentino Diaz was married to Brigida Cabrera on October 8th, 1846.

I'm currently looking on familysearch.org but am unsure how to go about ordering the film number. An even bigger problem-No hablo o leo espanol!

Any advice on how to pursue this task would be greatly appreciated.

Gracias.

Does anyone know if church records exist for La Purisima Concepcion in Valparaiso, Zacatecas for the periods, pre-1834 & 1834-1865?

Thanks.

Dear Primos, Family, and Friends:

May the beauty of the season, flowers and new life bring joy, hope and peace into each heart, as we remember with thanksgiving our many blessings. I certainly rejoice when I see evidence of pride in accomplishment and respect for our shared Hispanic/Latino heritage.

Woman’s month in March resulted in lots of Latina women being acknowledged, such as a huge, many group Mariachi concert in Los Angeles, a tribute to Linda Ronstadt.

An article “7 Powerful Latina Women Who Made Their Mark on History” by John Paul Brammer identifies some women to remember.

Also, Margarito J. Garcia III asked us to remember the bravery of Las Adelitas, the Mexican women who traveled with the Mexican army during the Mexican Revolution. A new Documentary
Rebel: Loreta Velazaquez Civil War Soldier and Spy is about a Latina in the US Civil War.

In this issue you’ll find current Latinas making a difference: Yuri Rodriguez (astronaut), Julissa Arce (Goldman Sachs analyst), Maribel Avila (restaurant manger), Sara Ines Calderon (writer/activist). Rosie Carbo (lifestyle writer), Lynn Alvarez (playwriter).

Teresa Valcarce (colonial history activist) expands her efforts to promote Spanish General, Bernardo de Galvez.

In California, many Latinas were recognized by State and US elected officials, such as Rosa Barragan as Woman of the Year by California Assemblymember Ian Calderon. California State Senator Ben Hueso recognized Maria E.
Garcia (educator/Chicano activist) as a Woman of the Year.

Sylvia Tillotson, descendent of Jose Antonio Navarro was the leadership behind the cenotaph (statue on opening page) now located prominently in the Texas State cemetery. California Tataviam Chief, Mary Cooke Garcia is remembered.

I am reading a PDF file that is long and interesting on Colonial Zacatecas.

I ran across this section where it says that the Conde of Hacienda San Mateo had paid, 70,000 pesos for an expedition to Texas:

http://oi61.tinypic.com/33kdq9h.jpg

Where did I find this PDF file? It is the one "Actores Educativos de la region minera Zacatecas"

https://www.google.com.mx/search?hl=es&gl=mx&tbm=nws&authuser=0&q=mexic…

I am chatting with a historian of Zacatecas, Mexico and he lives over there. He told me that he recently met someone from San Luis Potosi that has the "padrones" book of Valparaiso, Zacatecas, Mexico year 1648.

He says that Juan De Angon was one of the first settlers of Valparaiso, Zacatecas, Mexico in 1648. That he was "viudo" and had a son name "Esteban Angon" who was the heir of his rancho. Which later became, "Santa Rosa"

In the past I had posted a "pasajero de indias" of Juan De Angon 1606 to Nuevo Galicia:

http://www.nuestrosranchos.org/node/22619

He is reading that document for me since he is familiar with that style of writing.

This video is excellent all the churches and one church that caught my attention is the one in minute 1:54. I was wondering what church is that and what are the white squares on the floor in front of the church entrance. Pretty Monte Escobedo in all the areas they show:

I have been stuck for years on finding the parents of my 4th great grandfather Jose Ysidro Hurtado. I knew his name from baptism records and marriage dispensation of my 3rd great grandfather Rafael Hurtado but could never find Ysidro's parents names. I checked the baptism records of all of children I could find through LDS and no luck the parents were listed but not grandparents. Yesterday I was searching LDS and found the baptism record for Yisdro's youngest daughter Josefa Petronila De Jesus Hurtado and the grandparents were listed. This find was a double bit of luck in that I found Ysidro's parents were Francisco Hurtado and Augustina De Anda. The other bit of luck was that I was able to confirm with another source the parents of Ysidro's wife Rosa Munos.
Moral of the story genealogy isn't easy but eventually it comes together.

I have been working for some time on documenting the ancestors and descendants of Victoriano Huerta. I have put my research online and have had a number of people contact me about it, including a professor at the Universidad Autónoma de Baja California who is writing a biography of Victoriano Huerta and who found a number of the documents there very useful.

http://ramosfamily.org/nextgen/getperson.php?personID=I2440

I am stuck on his mother's lineage, which I am convinced comes from the Marquez de los Olivos, but I have been unable to find the parents of the earliest documented ancestor (Felipe Marquez de los Olivos who was born circa 1700 and married Francisca Xaviera Sanchez probably in Tlaltenango).

http://ramosfamily.org/nextgen/getperson.php?personID=I2561

If anyone has any insights into this I would greatly appreciate them.

He estado trabajando durante algún tiempo en la documentación de los antepasados y descendientes de Victoriano Huerta. He puesto mi investigación en la red y han tenido un número de personas en contacto conmigo al respecto, incluyendo un profesor de la Universidad Autónoma de Baja California que está escribiendo una biografía de Victoriano Huerta y que encontró un número de documentos muy útiles.

Estoy estancado en el linaje de su madre, quien estoy convencido proviene de la Márquez de los Olivos, pero no he podido encontrar los padres del antepasado documentado mas antiguo (Felipe Márquez de los Olivos, que nació alrededor de 1700 y se casó con Francisca Xaviera Sánchez probablemente en Tlaltenango) .

Si alguien tiene ideas sobre este tema por favor dejenme saber.

i felt like sharing this since it could give me a better idea how some of my mom's matches are related to her in the cases where i don't know how they fit in.

The 3rd meeting of the Nueva Galicia Genealogical Society will be held on April 25th in Orange, California from 11 am until 2 pm. If you'd like an informational flyer (with the location and directions), please email us at nggs@nuevagalicia.org, and we'll send it to you.

Please let us know if you expect to attend!

You all have been so helpful in the past I hate to ask for a favor. I am having trouble with this Marriage Dispensation. I am trying to locate Francisco Hurtado Jimenez’ parents names. I found one of his abuelos but no luck with parents. The web page is https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18409-49962-16?cc=1874591&wc…
It starts with image 443 and goes through 454.

Thank you all in advance, I am taking Spanish classes but I am not there yet.

In the past I had wondered about education in colonial Mexico.

I was looking through the PARS website for Testamentos (filtered for archivos de indias) and browsing each one to see if I can find any for for our region (Jalisco,Zacatecas, Aguascalientes) in Mexico.

Just out of curiosity, I ran across one that mentiones "Universidad de Mexico:

Hola Members , I have looking for Tomas Gonzalez de Hermosillo who married Nicolasa Marquez (daughter of Diego Marquez de Los Olivos and Maria de La Cruz Martin del Campo)
A member of another website states that Tomas Gonzalez de Hermosillo was also named Gonzalez-Rubio son of Diego Gonzalez-Rubio and Catarina Aceves. He states his source (which I do not own ,I can't verify) Retonos de Espana en la Nueva Galicia-TOMO IV vol. 1 page 18 that TOMAS was brother to a Diego Gonzalez-Rubio el Mozo and the Parents were Diego Gonzalez-Rubio and Catarina Aceves . I was wondering if any one had the book and could verify ths info.
Thank you for time
Ronnie

I'm having difficulty completely understanding this marriage record for Calletano Franco (top of left page). It's from San Juan de los Lagos, 1840. I thought it was going to be for Calletano Franco and Lugarda Martin, but I can't tell if what comes after Lugarda is a surname (doesn't appear to be capitalized) or if it means something else. It seems like there may be quite a few abbreviations.

I'm hoping someone better acquainted with the script and church language can help me decipher it. Thank you.
