Comment

just a small correction. her name was Ana de la Trinidad Garcia and only one record among many lists her as Benedicta. Her husbands name is actually Jose Antonio del Carmel/Carmen Caldera. They are my ancestors too. I find most of their family in El Durazno, Jerez Zac but find them with the Caldera family in La Boca de San Pedro, as padrinos and witness's but have not been able to prove they are related.
I also have this marriage record for Jose (Dionicio) Ceballos and Agustina Medrano

FYI,

Maria Cortez of Nuestros Ranchos and Nueva Galicia Genealogical Society is
currently doing research for PBS, Finding your roots, the Henry Louis Gates
production. That would make 2 people from Nuestros Ranchos.

Comment

Here is a bit more information from Aaron the PBS Researcher:

Hi Joseph,

José de la Lus Ramírez's wife's name was Apolinaria Ceballos. Her father was
Dionicio Ceballos and his wife was Agustina Medrano.
Jose's father's name is Pedro José Ramirez and his wife's name is Gertrudis
Felix, but we have no locations on them.

In terms of Joseph Antonio Luciano Caldera, his wife's name was Feliciana
Ceballos. Joseph's fathers name was Josef Antonio Caldera, and his wife was
named Anna Benedicta García but once again we have no locations.

Our genealogists have done a lot of work on this and have had trouble, as
most of the church archives are unindexed. Are any of your members located
in Zacatecas?

We need the information basically as soon as possible, we're shooting in two
weeks and would love to have the information within a week!
Thanks for your help, I realize this is quite short notice, so I appreciate
anything you can do!
Best,
Aaron

Has anyone looked in Nochistlan or Juchipila? There's a possibility that
they may have been from Jalpa and if that's the case, you're out of luck.
Let me do a little research in some of the books I have from Nochistlan. If
I find anything, I'll let you know.

Has anyone tried the 2 marriage films for Jerez 440059 & 440060. I
have looked at the records for the 4 children of Joseph Antonio & Anna
Benedicta, and they are pretty much from El Durazno, Jerez, Zacatecas.

Have you tried searching in the LDS? I did a search and came up with 4 children and one married. This is in the year of the 1600"s in Aguascalientes. Is this where your family is from?

Comment

You should try using the LDS..... familysearch.org.... you should also keep in mind that Lopes is spelled 2 ways, LOPEZ and LOPES. If this is your family and from the 1600's you should not have any trouble locating them.

1... Bias Lopez 1670 Aguacalientes

2... Gertrudis Lopes 13 May 1656

3... Nicolas Lopez 31 May 1660

4... Teressa Lopes 23 Sept 1649

Blas Lopez de Lizalde Marriage date 3 Feb 1689...... I 'm assuming that Blas and Bias are two and the same persons. Many Indians wrote this information in the books and were not very good spellers. You would have to go to the family search to get the film numbers and do your own resarch. Also Albardo has two ways of spelling Albarado and Alvardo, to my experience this is what I know.
Happy hunting
Mary

ELIZALDE

Bill, Who are the lizaldes you have? My oldest Elizalde on my pedigree is Rumauldo ELIZALDE born abt 1842? Anyone else reasearching this surname? My Elizaldes are from Huanusco, Zacatecas. What I do know is they are from AGUASCALIENTES they came to Huanusco, Zac around 1812? About that time.

Hola...leyendo en notas del 2007, encuentro sobre el apellido ELIZALDE.

mI BISABUELA es MACEDONIA ELIZALDE SALAS, (nacida en Aguascalientes en 1849), hija de JOSE GREGORIO ELIZALDE BAÑUELOS, ( nacido en Guadalcazar S. L.P. en 14 mayo 1825, Y de ANACLETA SALAS ) hijo de JOSE EDUARDO ELIZALDE GARCIA ( nacido en 1798 en Sta. Elena, Rìo Verde S.L.P.) hijo de JOSE MANUEL ELIZALDE Y MA. GUADALUPE GARCIA.

Comment

Daniel,

According to my records, the first López de Elizalde (also spelled Lizalde, Lisalde, etc.) in the area was Juan López de Elizalde y Aberruza, born in Tolosa, Navarra (Spain). He married Leonor Becerra y Sánchez de Mendoza 21 Jan 1585 in San Juan de los Lagos, Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco. Some of their children were born and lived in Aguascalientes. Here is a quick genealogy report on the first generation.

1. Juan López de Elizalde y Aberruza was born in Tolosa, Navarra, Spain. He married Leonor Becerra y Sánchez de Mendoza 21 Jan 1585 in Santa María de los Lagos, Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco, Mexico, daughter of Juan Becerra y Hurtado de Mendoza and Anna Sánchez de Mendoza. Leonor was born in Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco, Mexico.

Children of Juan López de Elizalde y Aberruza and Leonor Becerra y Sánchez de Mendoza were:

2 i. Juan López de Elizalde. He married María Burgueño; died 12 Dec 1638 in San Juan de los Lagos, Jal. Mexico.

3 ii. María López de Elizalde, born

hola buenos dias

tengoo muchas dudas en este comentario mencionas que juana lopez de elizalde esposa de jacinto ruiz de esparza y nicolas lopez de elizalde esposo de regina de alvarado son hijos de juan lopez de elizalde aberruza y leonor beserra.

el detalle es el siguiente:

tengo una dispensa matrimonial de 1753 aguascalientes de ignacio ruiz de esparza y lorenza lopez de la cerda donde se mencionan varias generaciones , en el cual se mencionan que juana lopez de elizalde y nicolas lopez de elizalde son hermanospero no se mencionan sus padres.

otra tengo el testamento de juana lopez de elizalde esposa de jacinto ruiz de esparza donde ella mencionan que sus padres son juan de luevana y maria lopez de elizalde.

en conclucion juana lopez de elizalde esposa de jacinto ruiz de esparza y nicolas lopez de elizalde esposo de regina de alvarado son hijos de juan de luevana y maria lopez de elizalde

es cierta esta informacion?

Comment

Édgar,

Soy nono-bisnieto de Gerónima de Escoto y Tovar y su marido Joaquin Muñoz de la Barba. También tengo las mismas dudas, no encuentro fuentes confiables para las genealogías. Según el investigador muy reconocido, Jaime Holcome e Isunza la vinculó como hija de Antonio de Escoto y Tovar e Inés Ortiz de Rodas. Hasta hoy no he encontrado algún documento que lo consta y lo peor es que no encuentro un documento que lo niega.

Puedes compartir los hijos que encontrastes para dicha pareja? Tenté buscar en FamilySearch sin éxito.

Espero que todos los investigadores, si se quieren considerar serios y dedicados, que aprendan como documentar, analyzar, compruebar sus genealogías con documentos fidedignos. Realmente, me ha causado una angustia, corregir tantos datos erróneos en “sitios genealógicos.” En la genealogía y su estudio, la organización es primordial y produce tranquilidad. En esa forma nuestros datos y archivo goza de validez.

Gracias antemano,
Daniel Méndez de Torres Camino

Matrimonkio of My GGGG Grandparens Francisco Madera with Maria Leocadia Huizar 1760

Oh my God! I found the matrimonio of my GGGG Grandparents Francisco Madera and Maria Leocadia De Huizar which is in the year 1760 and I am shocked from where it says about their origins!

Comment

You mentioned Maria Dimas de la Paz, you are right her parents were Maximo de la Paz and Maria Agatona Ledesma,I have them in my tree. I also have Maximo de la Paz parents,Pedro Ramon de la Paz(1762 to 3/5/1825 Huejuquilla)and Maria Gertrudis Luna. Pedro Ramon had 2 other wives which were Maria Josefa Aguilar and Maria Ygnes Miramontes. Pedro Ramon de la Paz parents were Eugenio Fernando de la Paz(8/5/1737 Aguascalientes)and Maria Luisa de la Torre. He was also married to Maria Ciriaca Flores.Eugenio Fernando de la Paz parents were Antonio de la Paz and Anna de Luera.
I'm sorry I dont have the links to all this info, but I did the research myself and saved the images for reference.If you would like copies of the images let me know and I will try to figure out how to send the image to just you through the website, if not I can just email you the images.
Ruben

Comment

Thank you Ruben,

Can you tell me the Rancho that Maximo De La Paz is from? It says in the bautismo of my Great Great Grandmother Maria Dimas De La Paz in 1819 as from "Rancho Del Quitaste"

Can't read the writing.

Comment

I never found his baptism record, but his father died in Rancho del Salitre and all of Maximo's brothers and sisters for whom I have records also say Rancho del Salitre. Maximo'siblings,
Jose Justo de la Paz (7-7-1784 to 1-23-1830)married Maria Josefa Ramona Madera
Maria Gertrudis Pioquinta de la Paz (7-6-1795)
Maria Victoria de la Paz (1791 to 10-12-1810)
Maria Luisa de la Paz (1798 to 09-20-1814)
So his father lived in Rancho del Salitre up to his death and his siblings were also born there.Until we find a record for him we can only assume he was also from Rancho del Salitre.
Ruben

Comment

I am familiar about Rancho Del Salitre. There are two of them. Rancho Salitre De Arriba which on the north side of the road that leads into Huejuquilla. And there is Rancho Salitre De Abajo, which is on the south side of the road.

Comment

I've been reading your past post on your research and I too have ancestors that originated in Mezquitic around the same time and ended up in Huejuquilla and Valparaiso in the Rancho de los Maderas and Rancho Jimulco. Except, my ancestors were Navarrete and de la Paz. Both families did marry into the Maderas. I was only able to go back to early 1700's with Agustin Navarrete and wife Leonora Rivera.Their son's Domingo Navarrete (1724 Mezquitic) and Juan Navarrete (1735 Mezquitic). I am trying to see if Maria Magdalena Navarrete(your ancestor) was related to them in any way.
Also, these are some of my other ancestor last names from Huejuquilla and Valparaiso from about the same time, de la Paz y Esparza, Perez y Carrillo, Diaz y Banuelos, Catano y Flores,Pacheco y Miramontes, and Gallegos. I am glad you found the image you were looking for, since a lot of Huejuquilla is not indexed. I remember the frustration researching Huejuquilla baptisms because the images were very blurry but

Thanks Ruben,

Maria Magdalena Navarette who was married to Pedro Huizar. Says in the document they are from Valparaiso. There daughter "Maria Leocadia De Huizar" has been referenced as being from "Rancho Ximulco" so I assume she was born in Ximulco.

When you mention the surname "De La Paz" My Great Great Grandfather Patricio Madera (Rancho Ximulco 1792) had kids with "Maria Dimas De La Paz Espanola" (my great great grandmother). She was 27 years younger than Patricio Madera and she was born in 1819 and her parents are Maximo De La Paz and Maria Agatona Ledesma and they are from Rancho Del Quitaste (can't read it clearly). You can see it here:

http://oi57.tinypic.com/4lg01z.jpg

Patricio Madera and Maria Dimas De La Paz are the parents of my great grandfather Calixto Madera De La Paz who I estimate was born sometime in the 1850's.

I still can't find his bautismo but I have his brothers and sister's bautismos and all born in the 1850's. As for example the brother of my great

Now I am more stunned that I just realized that Ed Serros, one of the members of this website has already found my GGGGG Grandfather Blas Madera and I copied the part in what he wrote on one of my past posts:

"I too have family from the areas you describe. For what it is worth, I have repeatedly found the Madera family not only in Huejuquilla el Alto but in the nearby town of Mezquitic, Jalisco. The marriages and baptisms of the Maderas in Mezquitic date back to at least 1686 (Mormon film numbers 1164940 and 1164952). I suspect this is the same family since these towns were all frontier land back then. The elite (well-to-do mestizos, criollos, and the rare peninsular) all intermarried; distance was not a major issue but "class" was. It was preferable to marry a non-NAI. The ultimate prize for a criollo family was to marry a peninsular but it was OK to marry another criollo or well-to-do mestizo (re-labeled "espanol"), near as I can figure from my review of centuries of records in the

Comment

welcome to the wonderful world of family trees going back to the same person. If I remember right my cousin Daniel said he has one line that goes back 17 times to the same person in Lagos.. You must also remember that the founding families sometimes made pacts to only marry Espanol and when you start with 10 or 15 families it doesn't take long to be related to everyone!
Another suggestion, never judge lineage by skin, eye or hair color. My Mother was blond, blue eyed and extremely fair skinned but had Indian and black ancestors. If we are lucky we find we are all that Mexico had to offer and one couple could produce babies in all skin tones, hair color and eye color.

Thanks Linda for following my posts and giving me your advice. Interesting what you tell me about your family so your family is from the Lagos area? I know where that is since I have passed by there on bus and also on car.

You should have seen how I felt as soon as I turned the page to the next one and began to read and the first words "Joseph Francisco Madera" I froze and my heart jumped. I immediately read the rest of the paragraph to look for "Maria Leocadia De Huizar" and sure enough her name is there to verify it is my GGGG Grandfather Francisco Madera.

Also I saw the name "Blas Madera and Maria Theresa Abila" as the parents of Francisco Madera and they are from Mesquitic. Then saw the names Pedro Huizar and Maria Magdelena Navarette, Espanoles as the parents of Maria Leocadia Huizar and from Valparaiso. I was saying to myself? Mesquitic? Valparaiso? What????

I was assuming my ancestors were one of the original founders of the village of Huejuquilla El Alto, Jalisco

hello, thank you. My maternal line lived in Tamazula, Jalisco and Michoacán before that. My gr-grandmother and Daniels gr-gr grandfather were siblings but Daniels maternal line was from los Altos.  My paternal family was from Jerez, Zac but my Castanon line was from Valparaiso where they left in mid 1700's for Jerez. I have not been able to locate any records from Valparaiso so if you find them please let me know.

Thanks Linda for following my posts and giving me your advice.  Interesting what you tell me about your family so your family is from the Lagos area? I know where that is since I have passed by there on bus and also on car.

I just found out something new. My gggg grandmother Maria Leocadia De Huizar also had a brother named "Justo Huizar" Espanol which says he is from Valparaiso and is the son of "Pedro Perez De Huizar and Maria Magdalena Navarette who married "Polonia Casilda Madera" who is the daughter of "Lazaro Madera and Juana Micaela Perales (Rancho De Los Maderas)"

Lazaro Madera is the brother of my gggg grandfather Francisco Madera.

And in the census (Padrones) of 1828, Polonia Madera was 66 years old and also lists some of the people with "Huizar" surnames right under her name. This is from Rancho De Los Maderas:

Please keep me updated on the Perez de Huizar line, I have been interested them for a while now. I have identified the oldest one I could find around 1675. His name was Miguel Perez de Huizar and his wife Leonor Gonzalez. They settled in Colotlan and their descendants spread around the valley in nearby settlements.

I also found a clue here that when Polonia Madera got married with Jose Justo De Huizar in 1784, it mentions that Pedro De Huizar and Maria Magdalena Navarette were already passed away:

I am interested in researching Pedro Huizar and Maria Magdalena Navarette since they were at Valparaiso at the time of Conde Don Fernando De La Campa Y Cos. See if there was any contact between them.

But the records on file at the family search website for the town of Valparaiso doesn't have any records in the 1700's to search for bautismos or matrimonio records.

But there is the posibility they had moved to Huejuquilla and could be have been recorded in the Defunto Records of Huejuquilla which do date back to the 1700's.

So I would have to look prior to 1784 for Pedro Huizar or Maria Magdalena Navarrette. I definetly would like to see who

yo no he encuentrado groupos de emigrantes de inglaterra a Los Altos de Jalisco. Lo que si es cierto es que mucha gente de los altos de Jalisco desciende de "King Henry III of England, son of King John Lackland. ( King Henry III is also known as Henry of Winchester)". Tambien desciende mucha gente de los altos de Jalisco por la hermana de John Lackland, Leonor, quien se caso con el Rey de Castilla. Por una juana Flores de Los altos de Jalisco, yo desciendo de los dos hermanos, John Lackland y Leonor. Tambien desciendo de los dos hermanos por otra ramas.

Los descendientes de de King Henry III primero se casaron generaciones con Franceses y despues con espanoles antes de pasar a Los altos de Jalisco. Uno de estos Franceses es bisnieto del Rey de Francia.

Muy interesante, nunca he escuchado o leído sobre asentamientos de grupos Ingleses en México, por otro lado si hay muchas personas de origen Ingles que habitaron el país, principalmente vía E.U.A. rara vez directamente de Inglaterra. Existen por otro lado los Menonitas, que ya hace bastante tiempo que viven en México, algunos de ascendencia Europea mas directa y reciente.

Como consejo y comentario, recomiendo no encerrarse en un punto el cual con el tiempo pudo haberse malinterpretado, Sería mas prudente buscar simplemente entre personas del mismo apellido Flores de la época en vez de buscar directamente asentamientos Ingleses, de ninguna manera digo que no lo hubo, si no que creo yo, basado en mi propia experiencia, que es mas fácil encontrar indicios cuando se empieza sin conjeturas previas. Una pista es la historia misma de la "colita", que si bien han existido varios casos, no creo que hay literatura a la fecha (favor de corregirme si me equivoco) que mencione todo un grupo con

Hola me da gusto, saludarte, esperando te encuentres bien, al lado de tu familia.

Mi nombre es Chema Vallejo, agradezco tu respuesta, sobre el apellido de la Torre, esta muy interesante.

Sabias que en origen el 80 % de la población que habito Tepatitlán de MOrelos y sus Delegaciones, entre ellas Mezcala, eran de origen de Jalostotitlán, Jal., esto debido a que fué uno de los pueblos mas viejos de la región, y fué en 1707, cuando se fundo el primer pueblo de Criollos ( esto es descendientes de españoles) que fué San JOsé de Moctezuma, despues se le llamo San José de Bazarte, que es los que ACTUALMENTE SE LE CONOCE como San José o tambien llamada la Villita, a escasos 10 Km. de la carretera que de Tepa a Pegueros,.

Descendientes de estos los primeros pobladores casó una González con un Romero de Mezcala, que son tus ascendientes, y si en tus ancestros tienes a un de la Torre Ledesma, viene siendo el mismo caso. una rama de los de la Torre Ledesma, de Tepatitlán, se

I don't know the answer, but if you send a message to a non-friend, it won't go to their inbox but to a messages folder named "other". There will be no red icon to tell them they got mail, so they may not be aware of it. If you pay FB $1 or so, they will send the mail to the user's inbox and maybe they will have no problem with you sending as many as you want. I recently used this trick to contact 4-5 persons in Spain and in the end I was able to locate the place of origin of one of my ancestors.

Joseph,

I apologize for rarely contributing to the forum but I do use Facebook all
the time and do have a comment. There seems to be inconsistencies in how
Facebook chooses to implement their suspensions and warnings, so there may
be other factors they use. Both my friend and me have been suspended before
while others in our sorority were not for doing the exact same thing and
sending out the exact same number of messages with the same content. Some
of us were given warnings from Facebook saying that we were near our
messaging limit and others were not. Also, some were able to continue
messaging repeatedly after that, while, others were suspended and one was
banned from Facebook permanently. The person that was banned permanently
was actually the one that did the least amount of messaging in comparison.
But, her account was also the newest, so that may be one of the factors
too. In some cases it seemed like they took into consideration the number
of Facebook friends a person had and

I have a little genealogy page in facebook, I am not expert but I think this would allow you to have more tools in order to reach more people without looking like a spam, your page can be done under your own account but will work separately, this is not a personal page, like a regular person, but more like a website where you exchange information, promote, announce, etc. This also would help you to keep that project separated from your personal stuff, then when you send invitations, they would look as a "site" more than a "person". I don't know the limit of messages but is better if you start to build your audience from the bottom up, slow, this would give you more credibility. Hope it helps.

Birth Registry- Madre No Conocida

Hi primos!

Comments

Comment

Usually the natural sons where born of unmarried couples, but still couples non the less, is usual that the mother would present the child but in some instances (specially when the mother did not recover well or at all from birth giving) the father would be the one taking the child to baptize, many people were really afraid (religiously) of saying that they were couple when they have no official marriage thus the "unknown" father or mother.

Another reason is when the child born out of an affair, depending of how willingly the father was, it would be him the one present at the baptism, mostly when the father want him to carry his last name, although it is less common you may find this once in while. Many "natural" people latter state in their marriages the names of both their parents and even with the "unknown" last name.

Those are the SNP markers in the test kit that are rarely found around the world based on a database used by the person that wrote the program. http://pngu.mgh.harvard.edu/~purcell/

why are some of the snp's located in area far away from each other like for example rs3756787 and rs2297632. i'm kind of confused about the eritea one also. i don't think the trans-atlantic slave trade imported slaves from that far. I wonder how my mom got a gene that's mostly found in east africa.

Comment

The SNPs are far apart from each other because they are only the rare SNPs that are listed out of the 682,549 tested by Ancestry.com. SNP markers occur randomly so two SNP events could have occurred in one generation in completely different chromosomes.

Having a rare SNP that is found in Eritrea does not mean that it was passed down through the slave trade and it does not mean it was less than 500 years old. It could be an SNP that is 60,000 years old and is from the Out of Africa event and any of the multiple immigration events could have passed it down to an ancestor of your mother's. It could have have been a coincidence and your mother's ancestors also had the mutation from a different ancestor than the person from Eritrea had.

Armando

Comment

I tested a person with only northern European ancestry and they show rare each individual rare SNP is found all over the world. So either they are rare SNPs that coincidentally happened in multiple people or they are rare SNPs that are ancient. The Rare SNP (minor alleles) Utility doesn't seem to be much help.

Stick with Eurogenes K13. It is the latest tool. Plus you can compare your mother's results with the populations in the spreadsheet that has the source populations. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ato3EYTdM8lQdEUtZjRwTkQxRz…

Add Amerindian and Siberian for the Native American total.

Iberians are mainly North Atlantic, West Med, East Med, Baltic, and West Asian. They are 1% or less for Sub-Saharan.

Any Sub-Saharan that shows up in the result at more than the 1% should be from mulato ancestors. You also have to consider that the Amerindian portion should make the Sub-Saharan from Iberians to be proportionally lower.

You can also compare your results with the one to many matches by putting their kit numbers into Eurogenes K13. Of course it helps if you know the people and their trees. The gedcom of the individuals that have uploaded their tree to the site is available in the one to many match list.

You could also use Eurogenes K36 for a result

You asked if Huizar and Navarette were from Valparaiso back in the 1700's. Unfortunately, there are no Valparaiso church records per se from that time period. I have found various people from Valparaiso who have baptism or marriage or death records in the churches of Mezquitic, Huejuquilla el Alto, and Monte Escobedo. I remember seeing the surname Navarette (aka Nabarette) in the Mezquitic church records of the 1700's. I get the impression that population sizes (indigena, mestizo, espanol) were quite small, as is documented in "Haciendas y comunidades indigenas en el sur de Zacatecas: Sociedad y economia colonial," 1600-1820 (Coleccion cientifica) (Spanish Editionn) by Agueda Jimenez Pelayo. Navarrete is one of the oldest "espanoles" families from the early 1700's, along with Martinez, Banuelos, Guzman, Olague, Talavera, Lobato, Madera, Robles, etc. They all intermarried.

If you follow the instructions at the following site then you will be able
to tell which variety of R1b. The most common are U106, L21, and U152, and

Do you know which records were transcribed first, the parish records or the records sent to the diocese?

Comment

This would be wonderful, I^m sure each of us would benefit. Currently Im in Jalisco and was given the extraordinary opportunity by the Parish Priest to search the original files. Unfortunately they were exactly the ones that are online with Familysearch. However, on the top shelf there were several packages of documents whose exact contents were unknown, but too old and delicate to touch!!!

I thought when I was in Mexico that seeing the "real" records would be better than on Familysearch.. I found I was wrong.
We were in El Grullo, Jalisco where my cousins husband's who's Santana family was from. We went to the parish and the priest said absolutely NO to seeing the records. After talking with us the priest discovered he was related to him through the Santana's. Albert explained he was looking for a marriage record that was not listed online, the priest pulled down that marriage book and it was wrapped in cellophane. When we opened it the pages turned to dust and we asked the priest to please close the book. It was terrible to see history turning to dust before our eyes.
In Ciudad Gusman, Jalisco they would not let us look at the books, they just took the information and put it on a form. I actually got more information online than from them. In Tamazula, Jalisco they were too busy and understaffed to help us and told us to leave a request and they would get back to us

Thank you for sharing a great story, Erlinda! This reemphasizes the importance of the records digitizing that we can access through FamilySearch at home. However, this not negate actual field research like your Mexico church visits.

Keep up your great family history research. It is an inspiration to many.

If this project goes (and I hope it does!) forward then maybe we could compile a list here at Nuestros Racnhos of towns that we have found to be most incomplete in their available records.

One in particular comes to mind from my research: Villa de Purificación, Jalisco (or simply, Purificación). It is one of the oldest towns in Jalisco and yet its records available on Familysearch are spotty and only go back to the 1770s. For example, baptismal records start in 1779, Marriages in 1832, and Death records in 1853.

If there are more records stretching back to the 16th or 17th centuries, that would be a true treasure.

Sergio Salés

Comment

Sergio, may be I am wrong but, wouldn't those records be in the Autlán films? if it is anything like Cocula, they hold many records from the surrounding towns previous to the "autonomy" of the parishes. Just a thought.

As for this project, it looks a bit difficult, the criteria to find what is been left behind can't not be found by simply posting the available films/dates in FamilySearch. Another thing that comes to my mind is that they may have the ability to search for historical data in the Historic Archives of the different states. I know Guadalajara has a database for them online but the actual records are not. In either case would be interesting if this approach is doable.

Hi RJ, et. al.:

Thanks for your thoughts. In some cases you correct that larger towns had jurisdictions extending over smaller towns that later got their own parish and records. An example I am familiar with is Tecolotlán, which initially had jurisdiction over Ejutla, which later became two separate parishes with separate records.

In the case of Autlán and Purificación, however, that is not the case, or at least not as late as the 1800s. I have looked through all of Autlán's baptism, marriage, and death documents from the mid 1600s to the early 1800s, and they do not include records from Purificación. There are obviously a few people here and there who were from Purificación, but not on the scale of the size of the town at that time.
Also, even if they had separated in the 1770s, Purificación should still have marriages starting in the 1770s as well as burial records, but that is sadly not the case.

My fear is that the remaining records of Purificación are lost. My hope is that

Two Offspring of Pedro De Huizar/Maria Magdalena Navarette(Valparaiso) Married into My Madera Ancestors (Huejuquilla)

I am just finding out new information and just realized that Pedro De Huizar and Maria Magalena Navarette of Valparaiso had two sons that married into my Madera ancestors:

Comments

Comment

I meant son and daughter of Pedro De Huizar and Maria Magdalena Navarette

I also found a clue here that when Polonia Madera got married with Jose Justo De Huizar in 1784, it mentions that Pedro De Huizar and Maria Magdalena Navarette were already passed away:

I am interested in researching Pedro Huizar and Maria Magdalena Navarette since they were at Valparaiso at the time of Conde Don Fernando De La Campa Y Cos. See if there was any contact between them.

But the records on file at the family search website for the town of Valparaiso doesn't have any records in the 1700's to search for bautismos or matrimonio records.

But there is the posibility they had moved to Huejuquilla and could be have been recorded in the Defunto Records of Huejuquilla which do date back to the 1700's.

So I would have to look prior to 1784 for Pedro

Hijo lejitimo digo de padres no conosido

I have commonly seen the term "hijo de padres no conosidos" which I understand.

Comments

Comment

Many people, including myself, usually say "que diga" instead of "digo" when making a correction as in "I mean".
Hijo legítimo, que diga, de padres no conocidos.
Victoriano Navarro

Comment

"Legitimate child, I mean, of unknown parents"
It means the child is "de padres no conocidos", but when they were writing down the record they put "legítimo" by mistake. So, they make the correction using the word "digo" (I say).
Regards,
Victoriano Navarro

Comment

Due to the fact that ink tends to bled trough the paper, they used (a least the neater scribes) to write their mistakes instead of "scratching" or overwriting them, thus the "I mean", "instead of", etc. sometimes there are even complete explanations at the end of the records or the pages.

Hi Again, were you able to trace any of your Delgado ancestors to Juan Jose Delgado after all. From my last post.

"I was doing research on my Delgado Line from Zacatecas when I came across your post.

Hola Carolina,

It appears we descend from many of the same lines!

Here's a link to the information on the 3 Apr 1701 marriage between Bartholome Delgado and Francisca Josepha de Chevarria y Merquelen: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18377-20365-52?cc=1874591&wc…

According to this, at the time of the wedding, Bartholome was 30 and Francisca Josepha 17 (poco mas o menos), making their birth years 1671 and 1684, respectively. Bartholome Delgado was born on the Pendencia in Pinos, Zacatecas. In her declaration, Francisca Josepha says she had been in the country for 8 years (poco mas o menos…), making the year of arrival 1693. She gives her trajectory up to that point, and since she lived in the company of her parents, it can be assumed that this was their trajectory. Here's an excerpt:

"Dijo: que se llama Doña Francisca Josepha de Chavarria Mercadin, originaria de la Ciudad de Cadiz, en los Reinos de Castilla y vecina de este Real lo mas de quatro años

Comment

I found this while digging around the archives today: the IM for Francisco Delgado's marriage to Juana Delgado y Valenzuela, from June of 1700, in Pinos. Though it doesn't give much on Francisco Delgado, it does say Petra Martin Chavez died some 3 years before, so we can place her death around 1697, in Pinos. And there are declarations from Francisco and Juana, as well as from Juana's parents, Capitan Don Fernando Delgado y Ocampo and Doña Marina Valensuela y Lara. As in the IM of her daughter, Juana's gives a description of their pase a indias and their first years in Nueva España. It also gives a account of the death of Juana's first husband, Capitan Francisco Echevarria y Merquelin: he died in Puerto de Cabo Verde, Africa, around 1686, while in transit to Buenos Aires, and he was buried at sea. Cause of death is not given. It also states that Juana didn't learn of her first husband's fate until some 11 years later, around 1697, when she was told by his ship's commander, Capitan

Dear Carolina,

My mother and I recently joined Nuestros Ranchos and we are researching our Delgado line in Pinos, Zacatecas and Aguascalientes. You can look up our genealogy file under Ramirez, Patricia. Bartholome Delgado is my mother's 6th great grandfather. We are descended from his son, Juan Manuel Delgado who married Mathiana Contreras Rodriguez in 1728. Hopefully, some of our information will be of use to you.

With many regards,
Patricia Ramirez

I was ignorant of the show and thought Alicia's message meant that you were
actually researching the Henry Louis Gate's family. I remembered afterward
about the show. Yes I don't expect more info to be coming forth all the way
to Spain if you've already researched the family.

Thanks,

Lazaro Madera and Juana Micaela Perales are the "maternal" ggg grandparents of my grandfather "Antonio Madera Madera" since my paternal great grandparents are Calixto Madera De La Paz and Maria Clemencia Madera. So that makes Lazaro Madera and Juana Micaela Perales my gggg grandparents through side of Maria Clemencia Madera.

Here is part of the copy of the matrimonio in 1758:

This is great

Thank you Linda!

I can't describe the feeling when I first see something new and from the colonial past. I don't think there are that many people from our village that does a large effort in searching their ancestors and verify the data with proof such as bautismos, matrimonios, defunto, etc records.

I can imagine how you feel Linda and all the other people searching for the ancestors feel when they first see something and also get shocked.

This is why I love searching for my ancestors and also the history of our towns.

as for records that show mixed ancestry you should consider having yours done on 23 and Me to see exactly what your genetic make up is. I highly recommend it.

Thanks Linda for the advice on having genetic testing done. I want to do that.

Also I was looking at the copy I posted on Lazaro Madera and after the paragraph it has the signature of Lazaro Madera. But then I began to view the handwriting to see if the Cura signed it since the hand writing looks similar to the handing writing in the paragraph. But that would have been great if the actual signature of "Lazaro Madera" below the paragraph is his.

Anyway by viewing the handwriting of the paragraph and signature and how correctly spelled all the words are, shows that the person is educated.

23andme does not offer STR testing and matching on Y-DNA and it does not
have the many projects available that FamilyTreeDNA has. 23andme also
doesn't provide individual SNP tests or transfers from National Genographic
Geno 2.0. Many of the members with NuestrosRanchos have tested with FTDNA
and many of them should show up as matches if you were to get a Family
Finder test with FamilyTreeDNA which is similar to the 23andme test and
where you would see the Native American show up as a New World and
Northeast Asian similar to what 23andme shows for East Asian and Native
American.

You can see the Y-DNA results from many of the NuestrosRanchos members at

Comment

most of our ancestors did not see or read the records except for the few who were educated. The scribe wrote the record and if your ancestor could read and write he would sign it otherwise it says they could not read or write and the scribe signed for them.
I also believe some scribes could not write since they copied records and did not know how to break up the words and ran them in a string. I found this in just a few records but it did happen. The fact that the parents were seldom at a baptism also results in errors in naming the grandparents or putting unknown. The godparents did not always know these facts. There was a lot of guessing going on so unless you find 2 records stating an age or home town they can be approximate dates and places.  You will find this a lot in marriage information records where they say they are from a certain place but the baptism record shows them from someplace else. My gr-grandparents were off 3 years on their own birthdates and he could read and
