I'm new to this, and I need help connecting my GGG grandfather José de los Santos Romo de Vivar (b.1807) to what seems to be the original location of most of the Romo de Vivar family in the region of Aguascalientes. I have discovered through family records and FamilySearch transcribed christening records a lineage that takes me back to Bernabe ROMO, listed on a baptismal certificate as the father of Gregorio ROMO (b. abt 1780) of Encarnación (de Díaz), Jalisco. But I am having trouble pinning him down. I have found a Bernave ROMO DE VIVAR who married Anna Gertrudis FRANCO in 1761 in Tepatitlán, Jalisco--and those are the names of my ancestor's parents. But the trail goes cold in Tepatitlán, because I can't find out any more about Bernabe (Bernave) ROMO DE VIVAR, even though I am pretty sure that is his correct name.
I have found an IGI record of a man called Bernabe ROMO-DE-VIVAR who was born in 1740 in Rincon de Romos, in the state of Aguascalientes. The only thing that makes him a good candidate is that he was born at the right time, about 20 years before the marriage of Anna Gertrudis FRANCO in 1761--in Tepatitlán, which is pretty far away from Aguascalientes. And to make things worse, there is an IGI listing for a man with exactly the same name who was born 20 years earlier in Rincon de Romos, which is even farther away from Tepatitlán.
How confusing!
I need help finding the right Bernabe (Bernave) Romo de Vivar and getting back on the trail!

Hi Phylys,
I guess we're closely related. Are you a descendant of Joseph de la Escalera y Valdés and Juana Theresa Romo de Vivar y Tiscareño? They are my 7th great-grandparents. My line links with Lope Ruiz de Esparza and Francisca Gabai de Moctezuma through their daughter Lorenza Ruiz de Esparza and Luis Tiscareño de Molina. My line starts with my mother María Teresa Strecker Cabral and her father (my grandfather) Guillermo Strecker Frías, the son of Wilhelm Ludwig Strecker Kern (a german-american engineer from Pennsylvania) and Josepha Frías Esparza, born in Rincón de Romos in 1848. Her mother Refugio Ruiz de Esparza was born in the same town in 1818, but prior generations were all born and raised in Aguascalientes. I believe my g3-grandfather Francisco Ruiz de Esparza Trillo y Delgado probably moved to Rincón the Romos when he married my g3-grandmother María Gertrudis Escobedo y Escalera. She lived in Rancho de los Escaleras, not too far from Rincón de Romos. Anyway, my

Guess we are family :-)
I had the same issue with Bernabe!
It is very common to have records from great distances this way. There was a lot of movement during that time as a lot of families were still settling. Ill email you more info abt Bernabe tonight.
Saludos!!

Hello cousin! Thanks for the prompt response. I've been out of town and unable to follow up, and I'm sure most everyone has been as busy as I during the holiday season. Would you have the time to send me some more information about Bernabe Romo who married Anna Gertrudis Franco in Tepatitlán?
