TEST SITE - DO NOT USE - Development only

I don't think of genealogy an illness. I think it's more of desire to know about ourselves and we just get carried away to the exclusion of all else.

Joseph,

I just heard your latest interview with Rosalinda Ruiz and it keeps
getting better.  Thanks!

Now everytime I read one of your posts I can hear your voice in my
head.. :~)

About your request for questions to ask Mr. Ryskamp, I was curious to
know if there are any kind of statistics or failure/success rates for
genealogy researchers in terms of generations count.  In other words,
what can the average genealogist realistically expect to found from
available sources.

Okay I think I will be able to go to the Hispanic Genealogy Symposium to
record the featured speaker, George Ryskamp.

I would like the Ranchos community to give me some feed back on this:

What questions would you ask a researcher of the caliber of George
Ryskamp? Seems that I should ask him something that would benefit those
that have gone well beyond the beginning stages of research and are in
the mid to advanced stages of their studies. what do you think????

any suggestions would help get my game plan together if there an
additional opportunity presents itself for me to interview him for the
http://NuestrosRanchos.net podcast interview series.

Poor Mexico.....
Because of such poor leaders as Santa Ana, including
many others after him, Mexico remains a 3rd world
country. We, 25 million Mexicans and Mexican-Americans
in the U.S., are living proof of Mexico's economic and
political failures.

Alicia,

If you refer to the E-journal articles, these are part of a series of
publications by the "UNAM" which generally are very well documented
and have an extensive bibliography.

Many of these articles appear to have different authors/writers. As
far as you know are these articles extrapolated from history books or
other text books and if so would you happen to know which ones?

Very interesting information, Joseph.

Although the ecclesiastical divisions didn't strictly follow the lines
that eventually became the political division of the States.

An interesting bit of history is that Aguascalientes used to be part
of the State of Zacatecas until the early to mid 1800s, when Santa Ana
granted its independence as a sovereign State and a way to punish some
political opponents he had in Zacatecas.

Alicia,

You can find Trancoso in the map if you look a little to the southeast
of Zacatecas city.  (About 20 km.)

These are the main places that I have listed in the files section:
Totatiche, Villa Guerrero, Monte Escobedo and Colotlán.  But there a
few others like Tlaltenango, El Limón, El Salitre, Rancho Viejo, El
Terrerito, Unión de San Antonio, San Juan de los Lagos and now Ojo
Caliente and Trancoso.

Totatiche only... though I believe that all parishes in the bishphoric of Guadalajara were 
instructed to conduct full censuses that year.  I see censuses for Tlaltenango around that 
time but not Colotlan in the FHL catalog.

was that the census for the Totatiche area only? or did it include Colotlan?

thanks,

as well as
transcriptions of the major land transactions that occured in the area
through that period, so that one can plot out the ownership of the land
and superimpose the residents on each of those plots.

Does anybody have any information on these Colotlan Franciscan archives?

Zacatecas was never part of Jalisco.  It was a seperate intendency 
since before Mexican independence and in fact, I believe it was 
actually never even part of Nueva Galicia, but rather was settled 
before Nunez de Guzman conquered what later became Nueva Galicia (which 
comprised the modern states of Jalisco, Nayarit and Sinaloa).  
Nochistlan, the oldest Spanish settlement in Zacatecas dates from 1531.

Hello All,

I just added two new localities to my search in Zacatecas:  Ojo
Caliente and Trancoso.  The starting surnames are Alvarado and Colunga.

Anyone?

"El Archivo Franciscano" is found at the National Library in México.
Part of it is also found at the Public Library of Guadalajara.

Here's an interesting document (In Spanish):

or an historical geography lesson (not sure which), and I'm not sure 
where/how to find the information. My question is - were Jalisco and 
Zacatecas established at the same time as political jurisdictions, or 
was one a part of the other first? If so, when were they separated?
Any clues or sources greatly appreciated. Mil gracias.

Prior to the foundation of the parrish of San Luis Obispo in Colotlan 
c. 1720, the Franciscans ran a convent (monestary) in the city, where 
marriages and baptisms were performed.  Apparently, there are archives 
of the convent, as they are quoted in Esteban Valdes Salazar's book 
Historia de Totatiche, Tomo II... which by the way is invaluable, since 
it has a transcritption of the entire 1770 census as well as 
transcriptions of the major land transactions that occured in the area 
through that period, so that one can plot out the ownership of the land 
and superimpose the residents on each of those plots.

When I went to Seville; I was looking thru the Guad. Archives and was looking at the Durango Census of 1777.  I was not going to be able to be there very long so I asked for a copy [xerox]  which cost an arm, anyway....I found out later that there was a copy in Mexico City also.  So, I could have had a copy from the archives in Mexico.  I do have a copy which I have shared with several people thru the years.  The  handwriting is so beautiful.  It is a wonderful census.  I love census records!!
