Steven,

 

I will try to contact my family members from Jalpa. My family connection with Jalpa as far as I can tell begins in 1925 when my mother's uncle Agustin Olmos Avelar marries his first cousin Juana Olmos Valenzuela in Jalpa Zac. We have many family members from that line living here in San Jose and Newark Ca.

 

I have been trying to recruit this third cousin twice removed, to enter into family research so she can help me with the Jalpa family line.

 

I have noticed in a few documents from Tlachichila and Nochistlan that often reference events that occurred in Jalpa. I don't know if that means that they recorded a baptism or marriage for Jalpa as a duplicate to Jalpa or in lieu of Jalpa.

 

I do have Gomez family connections  from Nochistlan/Jalpa but I don't have the paper trail

José,

Maybe you can try the following leads:

Look for the name of Mariano Gonzalez Leal.

OK, then, Joseph,

 

How do you write and pronounce all those subsequent generations:   primera, secunda, tercera,  (I don't know how to say the rest).  Also, why is pentabuelo listed as antepasado de 6th generation when "pent" means "five" to me.  It looks like the pentabuelo should go with "5th". 

well if you look at it in the Spanish the father is the first generation, the grandfather is the 1st grandfather but the 2nd generation, the g-Grandfather is the 2nd grandfather (Bis) but the 3rd generation, the GG grandfather is the 3rd grandfather (Tatara) but the 4th generation, etc.

I would like more feedback from the group is

I find this really interesting since my direct ancestor Francisco 
Mendez was also from Zamora Michoacan, He says in the marriage 
record (1795 in Tamazula) that he's been gone from Zamora for 6 
years, he married a Sanches de la Mejorada that say they are from 
Tuxpan.  His second wife, my ancestor was a De la Cueva!
thank you for taking the time to post. Looks like I'm going to have 
to order films from Zamora now... the searching never ends..

Even though I am not an Alvarez del Castillo, it is a surname that
marries into my family and is present in Arandas and Ayo el Chico. I
and a few others have traced the surname to Zamora, Michoacan. That
was their original "nest." The Gutierrez de Robles, Morfin, and Cueva
surnames were also from there. My cousin Tony Campos was also from
there. He has been researching the Zamora, Jacona, Tlazazalca, and
Tangancicuaro, Michoacan, area for the past 35 years.

Thank you for your reply, my real curiosity was about the Sanches de 
la Mejorada line that was the first wife of my Ancestor Jose 
Francisco Mendez who married her in 1795 in Zapotlan El Grand/Ciudad 
Gusman.  In that town all the people I asked about including Espanol 
Gonzales and Leal's are living and marrying into the same lines as 
my direct ancestor did. They say they are from Leon and also many 
people coming directly from Spain in this time period.. I didn't 
mean to do their genealogy but you know how it is.. we start with 
one family and end up doing the city or rancho! These same people 
also live in Tuxpan, Atoyac, and Tamazula de Gordiano, they seem to 
come around Lake Chapala.  I got to go there a couple of years ago 
and the area is still in sugar cane and making tequila is a 
maintstay. If you'd like any of the records let me know, always glad 
to share my findings..

Sorry that this reply is so so late, but I hardly check my aol mail box
anymore. I was rather interested to see that you discovered records
from Zapotlan el Grande that connected your Loza y Linares lineage to
the Villa de Leon. Well that is without a doubt Leon, Guanajuato. The
Loza y Linares family and Lopez de Lara are both definitely from there.
DEFINITELY.

My close friend, cousin, genealogist, and writer, don Mariano Gonzalez
Leal, has researched the Loza y Linares lineages since they migrated to
Mexico from Spain. He himself is a Loza y Linares and currently lives
in Leon, Guanajuato. He has access to all kinds of records from Leon's
historical archives, both public and private. Some of the Loza y
Linares and Lopez de Lara's descendants eventually moved to
Jalostotitlan, Lagos de Moreno, Ayo el Chico, Arandas, San Miguel el
Alto, and San Juan de los Lagos.

It seems that they also migrated to Zapotlan el Grande. Where is that
anyway?

Regards,
Steven

Just a word on DNA tests for females...of course they can be done.
Females have DNA just like males. But remember from your chapter on
Genetics in your Biology class, females have XX chromosomes and males
have XY chromosomes. Male haploid reproductive cells (sperm cells) are
either X or Y chromosome cells. Female haploid (or ova) are ALL
X-chromosome cells. When an X sperm cell fertilizes a X ovum, a baby
girl is conceived. When a Y sperm cell fertilizes an X ovum, a baby
boy is conceived. That is why males determine the sex of the newborn
child.

As Joseph, and anyone else who has investigated their genetic
genealogy, can attest to, paternal origin can only be checked via the
Y-DNA only. Consequently, only males can have their Y-DNA traced,
because only males have the Y-chromosome (which is where the Y-DNA is
located). Unfortunately, females are XX and have no Y-DNA, so females
have to ask a close male relative (father, brother, or paternal-cousin)
if they want

Hi Joseph,

I'm so happy for you. This is truly a wonderful break. You indeed
have the right forensic attitude for genealogy. Establish what you
know and what you don't know, and formulate parameters for your future
research. I wish you the best of luck.

My mother is a Lopez, whose ancestry was from San Miguel el Alto and
San Juan de los Lagos, Jalisco. It is very very unlikely that our two
Lopezes were related, as the surname is sooooo common, but wouldn't it
be cool if they were?

Tell us all when you make some more progress.

Steven H.

Subject: [ranchos] Huejucar!!!

I'm soooooo excited. I just got off the phone with my 2nd cousin Roy
Raygoza from Antioch, CA. Seems that his grandfather, Nicolas was
brother to my Grandmother, Antonia Lopez. The big big big news is that
his parents are from Huejucar, Jalisco the same place he

Joseph,

Among the people I know, it is common to hear about "Abuelos",
"Bisabuelos" and "Tatarabuelos".  Beyond that, I've never heard those
greek prefixes like tetra, penta, hexa, etc. attached to the word
"abuelo" but rather the ordinal numbers cuarto, quinto, sexto, etc. or
its numerical equivalent 4to., 5to., 6to., etc.

However, there's some confusion on the numbering system depending on
if you're counting the "abuelos" or the "bisabuelos".  For example, my
genealogy software (In English) uses the following nomenclature, which
I have paired with its Spanish equivalent:

Grandparent = Abuelo
Great Grandparent = Bisabuelo or 2do. Abuelo
2nd. Great Grandparent = Tatarabuelo or 3er. Abuelo or 2do. Bisabuelo
3rd. Great Grandparent = 4to. Abuelo or 3er. Bisabuelo
And so on.

The convention in Spanish is to count the "abuelos", but if you're
doing a translation of, let's say, 3rd. Great Grandparent you have to
be careful and translate it either as 3er. Bisabuelo or 4to. Abuelo.

 I hope

Does anyone know if the Huejucar films in the later years (say in the
1880's) are indexed? I know that in the neighboring area of Santa Maria
de los Angeles that after the 1830's (approx.) or so that the priests
started indexing their records.

thanks,

joseph
