Rick, I'm jealous already, how nice to be able to spend a couple of weeks doing research.

I will have the luxury of a few days only and most likely it will not be at Easter time but maybe the three of us can meet up. I can try to schedule my visit on the days that you and Maureen would be there next year. I hope it works out.

Hello Cristobal,

My ancestors are Emigdio Quesada, Jose Guadalupe Quesada, Pedro Ortis and Maria Ortis from Teocaltiche, Jalisco.? Any relation to you???

Thank you.

Someone inquired about a place known as Rocamonte. I personally have no knowledge of this place, so I went to the LINKS section of NUESTROS RANCHOS (it is part of the title banner). Once on the LINKS page I looked under GEOGRAFIC AND LOCALITY INFORMATION, and then to ZACATECAS MUNICIPALITIES. On this page there is a BUSCAR button (Find), and I was able to enter "Rocamonte". The only thing that came up was information related to Rocamonte was the following (and this appears to NOT be a settlement) in the municipality of Concepcion de Oro:

Hola a todos los miembros de "nuestros ranchos" por medio de familisearch.org he obtenido informacion de mis antepasados hasta
el año de 1800, quiesiera obtener una copia de los films, que debo hacer ? agradesco la ayuda que me puedan brindar.

Hello, All!

I am looking for further information on these Treminos. Does anyone recognize them?

I am not finding much information on them. Although I have found information saying that they were from Saltillo, Coahuila they seem to have many connections to Zacatecas. Can anyone help? The family says they were from Saltillo.

Hello all,

First of all, I would like to thank Joseph, Arturo, and all the other little
helpers for all the work and effort, that they have put into making the
Ranchos Group, what it is today.

Thanks Maureen,

Just thought it would be nice to meet up with some Ranchos members but it will be tough to get it to coincide with everyone's busy schedules. I just know that I want to go sometime in the spring and who knows, it may end up being a spur of the moment two or three day trip for me.

1) Juan de Arredondo m. Margarita de Caliz, hija/daughter of Captain Juan de Calis-Coy & Francisca Flores-de-Valdez-Salazar

2) Patricio de Arredondo m. Phelipa Briseno

3) Juan-Francisco de Arredondo married Aug. 08, 1734 to Maria-Zapopa de Herrera.

Like all other voices raised, I would thank and honor Joseph and Arturo for their diligent work and the wonderous creation that NR has become.?

I regularly count my?blessing in almost literally tripping over NR and the fortune of having?half my ancestors from Aguascalientes, granting me access to learn at the feet of what feels like the masters as I undertake to research my ancestry.? A newbie to genealogy altogether, I have learned so much from all those who do have so much to contribute.? I'm am regularly awestruck by people's reports and discussions of ancestors in the 16th century, particularly when I'm still working?my?way through?the 1800's.??While I'm trying to figure out where I can look for information on a nothing-little town that no one ever heard of, I am blown away to read about people who know the names and locations of the ranchos where their people have lived.? I clearly have a lot to learn and, while much of the discourse brings me no closer to answers now, I am learning that there are resources and means by which information can be obtained.? One day I hope to get half so far as the rest of you.

Hello everyone,

In answer to Joseph's request that we share more openly the information that each of us possess, I thought I would share a little tidbit that I came across. Many years ago in a passing conversation with my father-in-law the name Guzman came up and he commented that it was of german origin, I had always thought of it as a hispanic name since it is common in Mexico. However, recently I found that my father in law was probably right. In researching my Padilla line I started reading the history of Spain and the term "Godos" kept coming up. If I understood correctly, "Godos" refers to Goths - a germanic tribe. These Goths ruled what is now part of Spain for hundreds of years. With that in mind, it is easy to see why so many "Altenos" are tall and fair skinned.

Hey gente,
I got back from a Salt Lake City trip a couple of weeks ago and just finished updating my files. Over 95% of my ancestors were from Los Altos de Jalisco. Most of them were from Jalostotitlan, San Juan de los Lagos, San Miguel El Alto & Lagos de Moreno.

Dear Rosa:
I could not come up with anything either for Rosario and Trinidad's marriage. We might estimate that they were married when Trinidad was 15 or sixteen years of age. This may or may not be true, but it was common for girls to marry around that age. That would put the marriage around 1909. If you know they were of the Catholic faith and hopefully they were married in Jalostotitlan, then your best bet is to find your nearest LDS history center and order the Catholic marriages film 1905-1913 # 279310 Jalos. Review the film and if it is not there try 1913-1924 279311. There are also civil marriage records, but they appear to be one month of one year each, so it would take more $$$$ and more time. Also, since the marriage was in the early 1900's I have noticed that many of the early 1900 films have not been batched yet, so it would be near to impossible to find a marriage reference online for them. Mind you this is a long shot, but it may be your best bet. I have done some of my research in this manner and sometimes I am overwhelmingly lucky and other times very disappointed.

This list compares the names given in records (source: microfilm and
certificates) located for my ancestor, Pioquinta Gonzalez Figueroa, and some
of her children. I am needing to verify if the latest record, the baptism
