Esperanza,

Thanks for your feedback in this matter.  Instead of discarding or
admitting any and all possibilities of those Villarreales in the AGN
documents below from being related to me, let me briefly describe what
is the current status of my research.

The first thing to clarify is an erroneous entry in Danny's page
regarding Diego de Villarreal's place of origin.  It should say
Allende El Grande, Guanajuato, instead of Allende El Grande, Oaxaca. 
That alone, assuming there's a document (yet to be found) to base that
affirmation, changes the whole perspective of the documents you quote.

As to the several Francisco de Villarreales (actually just two) that
could be related to Diego, one of them appears in old records (1570s -
1580s) from Saltillo, Coahuila, accompaning the colonizer Francisco de
Urdiñola.  The other Francisco de Villarreal is quoted in the record
#314079 below.  He was a "contador del Tribunal de Cuentas de la
ciudad de Mexico" in the early 1600s who had to do with

Hello Again:

Hi:

Just to let members know that I have just uploaded a file to Ranchos2 
AAA Genealogies. The file covers GONZALES from JALOSTOTITLAN, JALISCO.

Hello,

When I do research, i do my research in two parts. First, I search the
IGI using batch numbers, marriage searches, parent searches, etc.  In
order to Identify, who I will be looking for on the films.  Then I
enter all the information that I have found that identifies the film,
 such as town, film numbers, record type, time period,  Batch number,
and if the film is in the FHL or in the vault.  Then I enter all the
dates and names that I want from the film. 

Here is a example: (**** Attn: Linda Romero **** this is what I
recommend for you, to research)

Esperanza,

When I first got interested in genealogy and stumbled across Danny
Villarreal's web site, I remember reading that most of the people with
the Villarreal surname had the same roots.  I really found that a
little hard to believe at that time.  Now that we have been digging up
information in old books and ancient manuscripts, etc. we've come up
with many more individuals from the XVI-XVII centuries with the same
surname, which indicates the existance of several lineages, as it is
reflected in the widespread presence of Villarreales all over Mexico.

As to the origin of our oldest (documented) ancestor for the northeast
Mexico Villarreals, it is recorded that Diego de Villarreal entered
the state of Nuevo León, from Zacatecas, with then governor Martín de
Zavala, in 1626.  In spite of some information to the contrary
available on the internet, I don't know of any documented primary
source that records Diego de Villarreal parents and/or his family
origins.  We have several leads

Joseph,

The only drawback, to the Digest mode.  Is that, if someone uploads a
attachment, such as the message that Michael sent the other. 

You will not get the attachments, if you receive the digest mode.

the messages have been coming in hot and heavy as of late. I want to
remind everyone that changing your subscription to "DIGEST" is an option
and a better option than considering unsubscribing. Even if digest is to

if you don't know how to change to Digest just email me and I'll change
it for you.

ps: Digest means that instead of each individual message from the group
coming into your "INBOX" you will get one or at most two messages per

Mary:

I'm also a collector of photos and have "classics" in
my colletion.  You may come across some "classic
photos" they may not want to part with.  Here is a
suggestion.  I don't know if there are local kinko
stores, probably have to drive to the larger towns but
make a copies for yourself.  I had one family from
CA., send me pictures and I scanned them in my
computer, made copies, then sent the originals back. 
Also it's nice to give them a photo of yourself and
family (sharing) makes the difference.  I have reached
out to so many cousins and as a matter fact just
received a photo yesterday from my prima in Los
Angeles.  

Have a safe trip and I think it's wonderful you are
visiting your relatives.

Joseph,

I have already sent him an email telling him about Rosalinda's
interest in some documents from the Archivo General de la Nación.  I
will ask him next time if it is OK to have his contact information in
one of the private sections of the group.

Regarding your other question about service rates, he explained that
he usually finds out what type of document is requested before quoting
a price.  As you can understand it is not the same transcribing a XVI
century manuscript than a XVII century.  Other thing to consider is
the document's lenght.  All this applies where you know the exact
reference to the document you want, that is, the index numbers from
the AGN search engine.  If someone has just a vague idea about a
person, place or event and wants to find what information is available
that is whole different project.

And finally, in regard to Marge's question, I sent my payment by
"Dinero Express" of Banco Azteca, a service like Western Union. 
Although it is possible that there

How did you send his payment? Marge:)

Rosalinda,



If you or anyone else ever needs to research a document at AGN, I met

a gentleman (via another genealogy forum) that resides in Mexico City

and can provide that kind of services for a very reasonable fee.



I recently asked him to get me a transcription of a couple of

documents from the 1740s and I was very satisfied with his

paleographic work.  He also got and sent me via email an scanned image

of a section from a 1594 "Testamento".

Hi all--



Here's the main page for the Archivo:

I found under "instrumentos de consulta" some search  pages.

Emilie,
My understanding is that NARA has not yet finished the filming of all 
the border crossing records (@Mexican border). They started with the 
smaller points of entry, leaving El Paso, TX for last. I think they 
hope to have filming completed by the end of 2006.
Have you seen the following site (explains the NARA plan)?:
www.archives.gov/genealogy/immigration/border-mexico.html
NOTE: border crossing records were created/kept 1903-1950; the first 
format of the records were based on records for ship manifests (records 
for 1903-1910)- this proved inefficient for folks entering on foot, and 
the format was revised and revised again over the years. I hope this 
information helps a bit. I, too, am waiting to see those El Paso 
records; my father crossed the border (age 4 yrs) at El Paso in 1916.

Have a good day - take care.
