TEST SITE - DO NOT USE - Development only

Ed, 
Glad to know that you liked those two links that I posted.

About "my secret methods" to search on the internet, well that's what 
they are: Secret.

Just kidding, Edward!!!

No big secret really.  I regularly use Google because I get the best 
results with it.  The key lies in the search expressions that you use.

It is what I would call the "shovel approach" versus the "tweezers 
approach".  In other words, using a single search expression or a 
couple of generic expressions will get you a scoop of information but 
not necessarily what you're looking for.  

What I try to do is to combine several selected words and/or phrases 
in my search expressions, sometimes even using exclusion filters, to 
narrow down the search results.  

In these particular case the reason you didn't find the same sites 
could've been that I used the letter "ñ" instead of the "n" in Peña.

And for other group members who are also interested in this and who 
haven't yet read Google's search tips, you

go to "link" go to "2000 Mexican Census" go to "Zacatecas" go to
"Nochistlan" go to "Monte de Duranes."

so this place was in existence as of 2000

I wonder if Alicia Carrillo and Lorenzo Cuesta might be related somewhere?

Victor,

Thank you for your two emails. They are very interesting. One more question. How did you 
get this information. I "searched" all over the place and you seemed to find this without 
much difficulty. Please tell me your secret methods. Do you search via Mexico site? Search 
engine?

Alicia and Victor,
A quick and heartfelt thanks for the information and references 
on "La Cristiada" and "los Cristeros".
Alicia, glad to hear you had a rewarding trip to SLC.
Y'all take care,

Natalie in Virginia

Ed, besides the link from my previous post, there's another one that 
refers to a "ghost comunity" by the same name of Peña Blanca, near 
Valparaiso.

Which one could it be?

Ed, 

My guess is that it does exist still but not under a single 
ownership.  I found references to it in this website:

it was in existence as of the year 2000. . .go to "links" go to "2000
Mexican Census" to to "Zacatecas" (wait awhile as it might take a minute
to download) then go to "Valparaiso" then go to "Pena Blanca."

[thanks Jonathan]

My grandmother was born on the hacienda Pena Blanca. Does anyone have
any information on this hacienda and whether it exists in any form at
present? Per birth records the hacienda had to be close to Valparaiso,
Zacatecas. My guess is that it belonged to the Felguerez family but I
am not certain.

Thank you.

Natalie,

I think what you're refering to is the "Cristiada" or "Guerra de los 
Cristeros", a violent conflict between the Mexican government and the 
Catholic church in the 1920's.

You can do a search of those two words and you'll find a lot of 
information on that little know episode of the Mexican history.

The following link provides a summary from the Catholic perspective:

Can anyone provide information on something known as "La Cristada"? I 
was viewing some photos historical photos at www.valparaiso.tk having 
to do with "La Cristada en Valparaiso, Zacatecas y Huejuquilla, 
Jalisco" - pretty gruesome photos (hangings and beheadings), but do  
not know the background of this event, when it took place, etc. Can 
anyone provide information? I tried google, but didn't find much that 
was helpful (judging by synopsi (sp?)- however,I did not open any of 
the listings). Many of you are well informed, so I trust someone can 
help learn something new.  Thanks.

I was at the local FHC yesterday to view film #1164746/Valparaiso
Church Records- Informacion matrimonial, 1904-1907. I was perusing
the film - wanted to see who was from Astillero, besides my
grandfather and grandmother, when I came across a record that just
made me wonder (these are the basics, not finite details because I
didn't write them down): The bride and groom were both surnamed
Ramirez; the groom was 24 years old; the bride was a 40-something
widow; the bride was the sister of the groom's father. Has anyone
else come across a similar record/situation?

what great good luck. keeping it all in the family produces what are
called "Marriage Dispensas" Seems that when couples were related they
needed special permission to marry and this often involved lots of
investigation and genealogy lines being produced. I'm not the expert on
this subject and there are a few messages in the archives about
Dispensas. . .I'm not sure that was the subject name. .

Hello,

I have been researching a line of the Olague family, from Colotlan,
Jalisco.  That came to Texas, and then to Utah.

thanks,
Jonathan

He has done a great job with the genealogical
information he has presented.  

He is to be congratulated.

Marge, I believe you are searching for relatives with
the last name of Olague.  Today in the obituary column
of the Santa Barbara News-Press newspaper, I found the
following:

"On March 8, 2005, our beloved grandfather, Felipe
Olague Menchaca peacefully passed away due to a long
term illness, with his closest family members at his
side.  Felipe was born  on May 26, 1919 in Jerez,
Zacatecas, Mx, to Alejo Menchaca and Aniceta Olague. 
He migrated to the United States in the 1940's and
settled in Santa Barbara, CA where he contributed to
the establishment of our railroad for several years. 
Two of Felipe's greatest accomplishment were marrying
the beautiful love of his life, Pauline Menchaca and
becoming an American citizen."

There was other information and you want me to send 
it to you, please let me know.  Both names, Olague and
Menchaca, are names that go back to the beginning of
Jerez when it was first settled.

My grandfather, Alberto Duarte Vasquez, who was from
Jerez, probably
