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!

Dear Manny:
I have a question of the padrone of Taramequaro. How many pages does it consist? I found a Joseph Bexar, but then looked five pages over and it seems there are other towns, I saw the word Barrio, but not sure if it was the last name or that Taramequaro had ended. I am doing my husband's family tree now on ancestry. Was curious how long the family had been at Taramequaro, but it looks like the 1680s is not out of the question. Thank you for putting these up, it would have taken me ages to find it on familysearch.

Because many of my ancestors come from the Arandas and Jesús María areas, I put together this finding aid so that I could quickly locate families, family groups and siblings. Perhaps it may also help some of you.

Perhaps it has been discussed before what the list is and can be used for. I see it has Casa names of individuals, is this like a census? How can I best use this list. Thanks for the information.

Yes, it is the census of a specific town or rancho....it tells you who
lived in one household, the names of the people, their ages, where they
were born, if they could read or write and what their occupation was.

Hi Simona,
Yes, a “padrón” is a church census, and it names all of the residents by household. In many, they list only those who have confessed (age 5+) and had communion (8+). It names entire family groups, w/ servants & slaves, living in that house, on that street, during that year. You can use it to locate your people, and to establish family groups and relationships, and even approximate birth, marriage and death years.
For instance, I descend from Ana de Colonia, who married Juan Machuca Villareal, 26 Apr 1688, in Patzcuaro, Mich. Ana was daughter of Juan de Colonia aka Francisco de Colonia and Luisa de Quintanilla aka Luisa Rangel Quintana, who married 16 Oct 1665, in Chilchota, Mich. Besides Ana’s 03 Feb 1669 baptism record, I could find no trace of this couple, they appear to drop off the map.
Using the 1681-82-83-84 padrones for Patzcuaro, I was able to locate Ana de Colonia aka Ana Colon aka Ana Rangel, living with different aunts - two whom I had already established as

Thanks Manny for the wonderful way in which you give an explanation and weave a story to match. You are truly a History Detective, keep watching those programs! (I had to look up what TVE Ministerio del Tiempo was. Sounds like Dr. Who)
Thanks also to oldcar53 for responding, truly appreciate the info.

If they exist for your town, you should be able to find them in Family Search or in Ancestry I'm told. I don't have Ancestry, but if you do, you might give it a look.
In family search it should be towards the end of the films for your city or town of research as it begins with the letter "P" by Procesos Matrimoniales

Ha! There already is one: “Partidos y Padrones del Obispado de Michoacan,” by Alberto Carrillo Cazares. There’s a chart of padrones that I used to locate these.
And I have to give thanks to the LDS, for upgrading their document viewer: the “tile view” absolutely ROCKS, being able to view several documents on a roll, so one’s able to see when expedientes end, as well as locate the padrones! Time saver!
