Emilie,

I think that Raul is correct in that the Paternal Grandparents are Yrineo
de Haro y Maria de Jesus Valenzuela and the Maternal are Antonio Serrano y
Hermenegilda Miramontes. Padrinos are Miguel Rosales y Maria del Refugio
Avila

Raul,

What wrong info?

I posted a request for two separate baptisms? Did you think they were both for the same baptism?

We've stayed there and it's absolutely beautiful. In colonial times it was

Thanks for replying Alicia and glad that you found Zacatecas Centro beautiful colonial style. I have stayed in the house of my woman's mom's house since they are one of the dowtown people. Before I met my woman, who is from dowtown city of Zacatecas, I would stay mostly in our village of Huejuquilla 2 - 3 hours away in the rural highlands near Hacienda San Mateo (50KM away from Hacienda San Mateo). I ventured out and met my woman in the City of Zacatecas. Probably felt what the Conde felt like to travel the same route to the City of Zacatecas.

In downtown City of Zacatecas, we usually take a short cut through the City Block by crossing through Meson Del Jobito since it is pretty big with alleys. You come out the other side of the block. I love it! The colonial style

Hola Edgar,

Muchisimas gracias por tu desinteresada ayuda. Yo tambien me puse a
investigar un poquito mas despues de el ultimo mensaje que envié al grupo y
encontré algunos de los datos que me mandas tu. Solo llegué a la generación
de Diego Garibaldo y Antonia Ortiz. Asi que la información que tu
encontraste me ayuda mucho. Los documentos que yo encontré todos coinciden
con los tuyos.

A mi también me pasó por mente que Alonso y Lorenzo sean probablemente la
misma persona. Lo que me hace pariente de el otro compañero que comenzó
este dialogo. Seguiré investigando porque sería fantastico si se trata de
la misma pareja.

Is this the same Sebastian Merino b. ~1636 in Aguascalientes?

Hola a todos,

Comment

Thanks Austin for your response!

Yes, I think you are right. After posting my post, I realized that Sebastian de Arenas (Merino) and Thomasa Rodriguez couldn't be the same Sebastian Merino and Thomasa de la Cruz (parents of Sebastian de Arenas (El Joven) and my ancestor Rosa Maria de Arenas). I concluded this by checking the dates. Sebastian Merino and Thomasa Rodriguez married in 1689, while Rosa Maria de Arenas married around the mid to late 1690s. If Rosa Maria was indeed daughter of this Sebastian Merino and Thomasa Rodriguez, then Rosa Maria would be really young to marry (less than ten years).

So now, I concluded that both Rosa Maria de Arenas and Sebastian de Arenas (married to Thomasa Rodriguez) were siblings, their parents were Sebastian Merino (the older) and Tomasa de la Cruz, like stated in the burial records. What initially confused me was that Sebastian de Arenas' wife was also named Thomasa like Sebastian and Rosa Meria's mother Thomasa de la Cruz.

This makes me

Hi Roberto,

Hijo exposito refers to an abandoned child. From reading other dispensas it seems common that an "hijo exposito" or "hijo de padres no concidos" keeps that label even if claimed by one or both parents. And this would seem to be true for Sebastian's dispensa with Tomasa Rodriguez, where he is listed as hijo exposito and later states to know who his father is. The fact that he knows the identity of his father is consistent with Sebastian Merino's (son of Bernabe's) testamento where he acknowledges his hijos naturales. It is unfortunate though that in the dispensa Sebastian does not provide the name of his father or the cousin who had the affair wih Tomasa.

After reading the dispensa that you provided, another possible theory is that there are 3 generations of Sebastians: Sebastian(1) Merino, espanol, hijo legitimo de Bernabe Merino, Sebastian(2) de Arenas, mestizo, hijo natural de Sebastian(1) Merino and Sebastian(3) Arenas, mulato, hijo legitimo of Sebastian(2)de Arenas

Comment

Hello Roberto,

I have the following information for Sebastian Merino son of Bernabe Merino and Maria Gutierrez:

Sebastián Merino (February 1636 - ? ) m. Juana del Castillo m. María de Jaén m. Nicolasa Ruiz de Esparza

1. María Merino, daughter of Juana del Castillo ( ? - September 21, 1694) m. January 28, 1691 in Aguascalientes to Antonio Núñez
a. María Antonia Núñez (December 1692 - May 1, 1742) m. May 8, 1709 in Aguascalientes to Domingo de Medina

2. Nicolás Merino, hijo natural, m. March 20, 1695 in Aguascalientes to Antonia Montaño (aka Burgos)
a. María Merino ( ? - November 7, 1738) m. Cayetano Arias
b. Juana Merino de Burgos ( ? - July 16, 1710) m. Martín Monreal
c. Antonia de Burgos m. Lorenzo Calvillo
d. José Manuel Merino (March 27, 1695 - ? )
e. Nicolás Merino, hijo natural, (July 1698 - ? )

3. Sebastin de Arenas, hijo natural. This Sebastian maybe the one who was married to Tomasa Rodriguez?

My Merino/Arenas ancestry is from Bartolome

WorldCat at http://www.worldcat.org is a good way to find libraries that have certain books, at least in those libraries that are part of the system.

WorldCat only gives one library in California that has Los Protocolos de Rodrigo Hernandez Cordero. This is UC Berkeley/Bancroft Library.

Retoños de España is much easier to find: a number of libraries in the San Francisco/Northern California area have it. The Sutro branch of the California State Library (located on the San Francisco State Campus) has a circulating copy.

The university libraries may have restrictions to students, faculty, and alumni, although in some cases you may be able to purchase a library card. The UC Berkeley Bancroft Library has public access, but their materials do not circulate, they also have restrictions on what and how much of a book may be photocopied. They may allow you to photograph materials, but there is a fee to do so.

With WorldCat when you enter your zip code it identifies libraries that are

First of all thanks for adding Nayarit. I didn't realize until I started my research that Nayarit was part of Jalisco.
I'm interested in the families of Perez, Manjarrez, Zambrano, Macias, Medina, Salazar & Gutierrez all from Nayarit & parts of Zacatecas. Can go back to early 1800s. Been having the best of luck with Zambrano. Can go back to mid 1700s to Pasqual Zambrano of Amatlan de Jora. Looking forward to helping people out & getting feedback.

I do support the idea of simply adding to the forums a space for those states that a some point in time where under Nueva Galicia territories with out changing the whole structure of the site. Areas change with time frames and in some places is just a few towns that really matter. In my opinion this group can always allow towns (not necessarily the whole state, been Nayarit probably the exception) to be studied within the focused states specially when there was a political relation, not just a family connection, this in my opinion can prevent loosing the Area we are interested the most, but keeping at hand those places that may be essential to our studies, as an example from my own, I have interest in Nombre de Dios, Durango, which is at the border with Zacatecas and after a few year trying to figure it out why one of my ancestor moved from there to Nochistlán I realized that Nombre de Dios was part of Nueva Galicia and was used as a "frontier", a "land of captains" I called myself

Comment

Having not read all the messages sent in reply to this thread, I am still going to share my opinion.

Nuestros Ranchos as is one of the best Mexican Genealogy sites, that I have seen. Some of the reasons for that is quality of the ownership of the site (Joseph) and maintainace done by Arturo. Joseph has been really good at trying to keep the group on track with the stated purpose of the group.

Another reason, is the quality of the members in the group. We have a blend of new researchers, seasoned researchers, and some professional researchers. This pool of experience allows us to make progress in our research efforts.

By expanding the groups focus into other states, it will allow other researchers to enter and share their experience with the group, also it will allow those us already in the group to share our knowledge of researching in other areas of Mexico.

Once, allowing one, two, three or more states into the group where do we draw the line.

As I stated in the beginning

Comment

When this discussion began I was of the opinion that we should expand to include other states. However, after reading others' opinions I opine that we should maintain the Nuestros Ranchos Group as it was set up and limit it to Jalisco, Aguascaliente, and Zacatecas. Occasionally we have had posts and "findings" which have taken us to other states, but this has not been the norm.

There are groups that include "Nueva Galicia" and people can join those groups if they choose to include a wider range of territory in their research.

I posted before that I would not mind adding states to the focus area of Nuestros Ranchos, but after reading several comments by other members, I have to agree that adding new areas will alienate the majority of members, and many posts will remain unanswered. We can argue that we should add this state for this reason and that state for another reason, but at what point should we stop? The success of this group, now I see it, is due in part to the fact that it focuses in only three neighboring states. If there is a strong interest to add a specific state, it might be a better idea to create a new forum for that state, and that will benefit all. That's my opinion. My vote was for a yes, now I'm inclined to say no.

Comment

Joseph and Rafael,

I forgot that I also belong to another genealogy group for those with Mexican ancestry that is open to those with ancestors from anywhere in Mexico and is based in Mexico. Since Nuestros Ranchos was started by English speaking Mexican Americans (Joseph as host with the help of Arturo the webmaster), the original members were born or living in the US with ties to Jalisco, Aguascalientes and Zacatecas, since those were all Jalisco at one time, no? Because I am not fluent in Spanish, I at first couldn't communicate very well with those in the group based in Mexico, but then I discovered that other members there were like me, American born or who were living here or those born in Mexico but living/had lived in the US. I don't recall that that other forum was as sophisticated as this Nuestros Ranchos; that other one is more like a chat room where people can ask questions much like they do on the message forums in Ancestry.com or other genealogy websites; you have to

I am for expanding it to only to Colima and Nayarit. Many of the Nueva Galicia settlers of the XVI century traveled and often and even established themselves in these states. Someone mentioned changing the name of the forum to "Descendants of Nueva Galicia." This may be a good suggestion, not the name, but a more specific to our area of research.

Estoy de acuerdo con la opción en que abramos el foro a los estados de Nayarit y Colima. Muchísimos de los colonizadores de la Nueva Galicia durante el siglo XVI viajaban entre estos límites. Efectivamente, el estudioso sabrá que familias numerosas de la Nueva Galicia se establecieron en esas tierras. Otro mencionó cambiar el nombre del grupo a "Descendientes de la Nueva Galicia." Creo que es un gran idea, no el nombre, más ser aun específico a nuestra área de estudio.

If Nuestros Ranchos has a strong affiliation with Nueva Galicia then, by definition, the Nueva Galicia territory included the present-day states of Aguascalientes, Colima, Jalisco, Nayarit and Zacatecas.

I’m going to make a very small change to the way I accept members to the
group. I won’t be turning people away that apply and ONLY have a connection
to Nayarit and/or Colima. I also will not be interjecting my suggestions to
limit the amount of discussion on these two states if and when discussions
get started. If for some reason things get WILD and masses from those areas
start moving into the group then I’ll seriously consider other options for
those who only have ties to those two states.

Voy a hacer un pequeño cambio a la manera que acepto los miembros del grupo.
Las personas que se aplican y sólo tienen una conexión a Nayarit y Colima
van estar acceptado al grupo. Yo también no voy a limitar la cantidad de
discusión sobre estos dos Estados si se comenzaron las discusiones. Si por
alguna razón muchos de esas áreas empezar a entrar al grupo entonces podrá
considerar seriamente otras opciones para aquellos que sólo tienen vínculos
con esos dos Estados.

Comment

There are good reasons to expand the focus of the group, for example due to movement of people between the various towns in this part of Mexico. Perhaps Guanajuato would be a possibility: Capn. Tomas de Villalpando, an early settler in the Aguascalientes area came from Leon, Guanajuato. My wife's paternal family is from Guanajuato. Her maternal ancestors include many of the prominent families of the early 1600s in Aguascalientes; but the only connection on her maternal side to Guanajuato is Tomas de Villalpando.

That said, making the focus too broad means a lot of what we see may not be of interest. For example, I belong to an Austrian genealogy group with a mailing list like NR. This group covers all of the former Austro-Hungarian empire: I seldom see much of interest, and when I post something for my areas of interest, there is often no response from the group.

With the current NR focus much of what I see is of interest.

Perhaps if there were "special interest" groups within NR

I posted about the fact that Nayarit part of Jalisco until relatively recently (1917). However, I really do think we need to be careful in NOT opening the group up to all kinds of states.

I agree with those who have said that the group's success has been due to its narrow focus. If we open it up to historically important, but also distinct regions such as Chihuahua or Guanajuato, we will lose the focus. Yes, there are families that went to or came from those states, but they were distinct from the time of Mexican Independence. Without the focus, our topics will become too broad, or there will be too many families to keep track of.

And if we really consider opening up to more states we should probably have a formal vote/survey.

Let's keep helping one another, but without becoming just another broad geneaology forum...

Simple and easy, researchers with concentration in Nayarit
and Colima can create their own forum.

The success of this forum has been due to the concentration of
research on the three states.By opening the group
to other states, we would lose the focus.

Above all, we do not need to alienate the current membership,
who have contributed vast amounts of information, and time behind the scene to helped
make Nuestros Ranchos’ such a success.

Yes, all of the states have tight historical links however, If
we begin to include a few states, then we might as well include the entire
country.

A definite NO vote…with encouragement to start a new forum
for those who research states outside the current Nuestros Ranchos realm.

I agree with opening it up to Chihuahua too. My relatives came from Aguascalientes and Encarnacion de Diaz to Chihuahua before migrating to Texas. I also have relatives from Chihuahua that I haven't investigated yet with names very common to Nueva Galicia that I'm guessing also originally came from our research area.

My husband's paternal grandparents (Primitivo Garcia and Marciana Cervantes) also came from Encarnacion de Diaz to El Paso TX in 1895. His maternal grandparents (Gabriel Acosta and Maria ?) came from Chihuahua around the same time.

Comment

I think that opening the group to those doing research in Nayarit be great but this bias of mine is because it would surely help my research that I have done on some families from Nayarit.
But the connection from the states we cover now and other states is not limited to the locales that used to be part of Jalisco or Nueva Galicia. Some of my ancestors would go from Jalostotitlan Jalisco to Taos New Mexico and then back to Jalostotitlan Jalisco. They would stay with distant family members in Taos. One of my ancestors was born in Taos when his mother and father went to live in Taos for a while. It is unclear whether they were there on vacation or if they lived there for a time. This ancestor's Jalostotitlan marriage record clearly states that he was born in Taos while his parents records show they were born in Los altos de Jalisco.

My maternal Delgado line left Tlaltenango and Atolinga,Zacatecas after 300+ years and settled in La Yesca and Ixtlan del Rio, Nayarit in the late 1800's. My mother was born in Ixtlan del Rio, Nayarit.

On my paternal Rojas side, my last name started out as Roxas in Amatlan de Jora, Nayarit in the early 1700's. They then settled in Hostotipaquillo, Jalisco in 1840's.

You could say that my roots started and ended in Nayarit.

PROS
It would help to share information with other members from Nayarit. Currently, all the information I have on Nayarit is my own 3 year research with no help.

CONS
Current members with no ties to Nayarit or Colima may not be able to help new members with research or information.Website would have a lot of postings with no replies.

I would still vote yes for Nayarit because of my ties.

Ruben Rojas Delgado

Comment

I agree with the other posts. There is a strong historical connection between Jalisco and Nayarit, as well as Colima if you have ancestors in what was then the provincia de Avalos. I am tempted to say yes, however, this would broaden the area in this group, and you would have to think about other areas in Michoacan, Guanajuato, Durango and other states closely related to our focus states. It's a tough question, but I would vote yes on Nayarit and Colima, even though I don't have ancestors on this states.

I'm sure in the long run the addition of new members from these states will benefit the group.

Considering Nayarit was carved out of Jalisco, I'd say it's a good idea. In a recent article, I wrote:

At the time of Mexican independence, Nayarit was part of Jalisco. In November 1824, the political constitution of the State of Jalisco was established, dividing the territory into eight districts. Nayarit was called the Seventh District of Jalisco. On August 7, 1867, after the defeat of the French invasion, President Benito Juárez separated Nayarit from Jalisco, declaring it to be the "Military District of Tepic," under the jurisdiction of the government.On December 12, 1884, by order of Article 43 of the Federal Constitution, Nayarit was elevated to the status of a territory separate from Jalisco. This federal territory was divided into twenty municipios. In February 1917 the Territory of Nayarit was elevated to the status of a free and sovereign state under the provisions of the Constitution of 1917. The state was called Nayarit in honor of Nayar or Nayarit, the 16th century

Nayarit. I'm biased. My father was born in Nayarit, eventually crossing border. Serving in the military in WWII , he became a US citizen. As well, my maternal Abuelita Clemencia Lizarraga was born in Nayarit. At present my paternal ancestors date back to 1797, and my maternal line to 1684.

As a kid I had the good fortune to visit with my father the ranchito where he and several of his siblings were born.

I hope that Nuestros Ranchos will seriously consider including Nayarit. I made this request several years ago, since I believe that historically speaking this area was part of the geographical /political art of Colonial Mexico.

Historically, there's a great deal that binds these states and as Emily
said, that may be why you would find some ancestors from one of our 3
states, Jalisco, Zacatecas and Aguascalientes in one of the other states,
but then this could apply to other states as well such as Michoacan,
Guanajuato and San Luis Potosi. I think it's a toss up.

I think it's a good idea to add Nayarit. While doing research on a Nayarit family a few years back, I found that one of the early settlers in the early 1700's came from Guadalajara, Jalisco. As other families came from Zacatecas as well. I was also doing a little research on the Colotlan soldiers trying to link them to Nayarit settlers. Needless to say, my research stopped as I have many other lines that I've been working on.

I think it's a great idea.

Comment

Yes, I would definitely. I believe the Huichol tribes used to settle in
these areas, the Sierra Madre Occidental. Especially when the Spaniards
came. I believe so any way. My grandfather told me some stories about
these tribes when I was a kid. My grandfather's generation were all from
Michoacan, Jalisco, Colima and he even Zacatecas. I am not sure how in
Zacatecas yet. For I have not had the pleasure to get that far yet but he
is an Acevedo Valdovinos and with that comes, Magana, Guerrero, Barragan,
Gaitan, Alcaras, Meraz and Magallon. All these families are very large
They have to be all interlinked. So if Michoacan can have links to
Zacatecas. There are direct links to Nayarit and Zacatecas.
Getting to the point, it would just be very convenient for us all.

With Much Respect,
Elizabeth

I think some of my father's in-laws came from Michoacán, and my father from Jerez was a mestizo, but he didn't know what tribe. I just assumed it was the Zacatecan.

There is book entitled "Haciendas of Mexico," published in 1886 that names the principal haciendas by state, along with the owner/proprietor, and the town where it is located.

The introduction is in English, and the rest of the book is just tables.

The book can be downloaded as a pdf from www.archive.org.

There's a Jabonera in the municipio of San Juan de Los Lagos, population: 9

It's mapped here: http://www.microrregiones.gob.mx/catloc/contenido.aspx?refnac=140730282

This is a very handy website: http://www.microrregiones.gob.mx/catloc/Default.aspx

I posted this website earlier this year, which I prefer above all the other map search engines because this lists any and all populated areas in Mexico whether they are still populated or no longer active. I also like it because you search by name, rather than hunt around on a map. Maybe I'll make a separate post for it because it really is helpful.

This government site is excellent for looking up the locations of towns & ranchos including those *that may no longer exist*. You can find non-existent or very small, unmapped towns/ranchos by clicking first on the name of the state, then municipality, then on the name of the town/rancho you're looking for, and whether it's currently active or no longer inhabited, it will be listed

I think the changing of borders in Mexico is the reason we find ancestors living in one state for generations, then they disappear as if they fell off the end of the earth. Family Search lists people in the cities and states as they are known now. I find this problem in the US Census, too. I follow people from 1792 to when the states split apart or were combined, so it looks like they lived in one county for generations, then seem to disappear, but if I am lucky, I find them in another state or county with the same address. They never moved---the borders moved, and Ancestry and Family Search can only list the counties/states as they are known now, right? It would take several books, not lists, to update us, no?

According to the book by Ida Altman, "The War For Mexico's West" the
original town of "Xalisco" was within a league of Tepic, which is the
current capital of Nayarit. The two communities originally belonged to two
different ethnic groups of native Americans. In 1525 when the Spanish
arrived, Francisco Cortes and his men indicated that the town was one of
the larger communities in the region. They recorded that it had 400 homes
and 800 men and they did not trade with other communities. Tepic which was
located by a river and closer to the coast had about half the population of
Xalisco and the two communities were known to wage wars against each other.

Just a little pre-colonial history.

Alicia and Joseph,

I am looking at a map of Mexican states: http://www.planetware.com/map/mexico-mexico-mexican-states-map-mex-mex1… which, not being familiar with the geography of Mexico, I had to do.

I see that Colima and Nayarit do border Jalisco. In my case, going back in the records to the 1500s for my father's ancestors (Basques) they were always in Zacatecas, or what is now Zacatecas. After the Revolution, they migrated north and ended up in Chihuahua, then Texas, and Colorado and finally California. My husband's ancestors migrated from what is now Jalisco and Aguascalientes and Durango and Chihuahua, states that have a common border, then north to Texas, and then California. So I vote for Durango and Chihuahua in addition to Jalisco, Zacatecas, and Aguascalientes. This is the case for many whose ancestors migrated to the US. It might not be the case for those whose ancestors have never migrated to the US.

Joseph,
What we know today as Jalisco, Zacatecas and Aguascalientes did not exist during colonial times. The ideology of political divisions known as states was introduced well after the Mexican independence. For example, the state of Aguascalientes was incorporated into the "Intendencia de Zacatecas," Jalisco was known as "Intendencia de Guadalajara," etc. These new political divisions were a result of the many "Reformas Borbónicas" of the late XVIII century.
The "Reinos" under the Habsburg (Reino de Nueva Galicia, Nuevo León, Méjico, etc.) consisted of Alcaldía Mayores which were replaced with the Borbón Intendencias, later replaced with "Departamentos" under Agustín I up to Maximilian I. Mexico eventually adopted modernizing into the United States of Mexico. Something that many people are not aware is that the Alcaldía Mayores and Intendencias had provinces within them, political sub-divisions if you will. Some of the ones that pertain to our area were the Alcaldía Mayor de

Joseph,

What the applicant says is true.

Mexico's 19th century history is complicated because it was a long conflict between federalists and centralizers,but it was a federal republic from 1824-1835.

During the first Mexican Federal Republic of 1824, there were 18 free and sovereign states ("estados libres y soberanos"). "Jalisco" was one of those states, and consisted of what today are the states of Jalisco and Nayarit.

The text of the Constitution (is only 12 pages and is interesting to read!)is here:

Article 7 spells out which states would a part of the nation. As Daniel said, there were a number of states (three to be exact) that had provinces in them, that later became free states in their own right. The three states were called Estado Interno de Oriente, Estado Interno del Norte and Estado Interno de Oriente. But Jalisco was not one of those. It was simply called Jalisco.

A couple of years ago I worked on the family tree of some friends of mine from Tepatitlan Jalisco by the last name of Franco (Victorio Franco)I thought that they would hook up with the Franco's in one of my grandparents branches as three of my grandparents have Franco ancestry. It turns out that these Franco's from Tepatitlan surprised me with a connection to Nayarit. It seems some of the members of the family traveled back and forth between Tepatitlan and Nayarit, leaving family in both areas in the 19th and 20th centuries.

I don't know about other states, but regarding Nayarit, it was part of the state of Jalisco and before that Nueva Galicia for centuries. It became a separate state less than 100 years ago, on January 26, 1917. Colima was also part of Jalisco, but became a state back in the 19th century.

Joeseph, as far as I am concerned we should open the group to persons doing research in Nayarit and Colima , as well as Zacatecas, Aguascalientes.

I vote YES to Colima. Southern Jalisco belonged to the XVI century Province
of Colima. Both regions have tight historical links, still strong today.
Lots of families were moving around these territories. It is the case of
mine.
