Hi Rosie, I have worked extensive on Jalos pre 1775, so I may not be much of help until then. I usually dont keep films permanently but I did on some Michoacan films, just in case since its a new area for me, you can miss anything, first starting out. Through research in Jalos, I can say that the Spanish estrada is the family de Estrada y Bocanegra, which is also found throughout the region and Aguascalientes. I think I descend from them about 3 or 4 times. Have you tried, ordering through mail? you order a copy of record, you desire and they will mail it to you for abt $2.00. Hopefully my advice at least helps you. -Daniel Camino

I can scan over a form if you want, just fill out what you want, and they only send a paper copy of the record you want. You have to know the date and place, in this case you do. It cost 2.00 per record and 2.00 for shipping, it explains. I can scan it over later today. -Daniel

This is Great! Thank you, Daniel. I am eager to order copies right away. I did not know. This is going to save me time and money. I was ordering the films. You gave me a great gift of knowledge. Thank you.

Hi Rosie, sorry havent gotten back to you, this weekend was crazy and busy, ill do it tomorrow. I too am gonna start this service, since I dont have time to research all places one by one so Im not ready say to start in Nochistlan quite yet, but from the IGI I have several records that will extend my genealogy, so I am ready anytime to do that! I barely started in Alteño Michoacan, and gonna have to stop after one more film and go back to Aguascalientes,ahhh! Its hard to search here and there. -Daniel

Comment

Jorge,

Creo que el apellido compuesto Macías de Ortega empieza con la pareja de
Francisco Macías Valadez y Jacinta de Ortega, casados por 1624 en
Aguascalientes. Ellos tuvieron por hijos a Juana, Matheo, María, Francisco,
Josepha, Margarita, Nicolás, Jacinta, Alonso y Juan Macías de Ortega, todos
bautizados en Aguascalientes entre 1625-1649. Francisco Macías Valadez era
hijo de Nicolás Macías Valadez y Leonor de Retamosa, ambos originarios de
Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco. No sé quien era el padre de Jacinta de Ortega,
pero su madre se llamaba María Núñez Veles, de allí que a María Macías de
Ortega se le conociera también como Margarita Núñez de Ortega. No tengo a
los que tú mencionas.

Tengo también a una Antonia Macías aka María de Ortega que casó con Marcos
de Avila en 1681 en Aguascalientes. No sé quienes fueron sus padres.

Bill Figueroa

Comment

Hola Bill, es lo que también me hace dudar que sean la misma persona. Pues yo también tengo registrados a la familia de Francisco Macías Valadez y Jacinta de Ortega y sus hijos aparecen como Macías de Ortega, pero el matrimonio que busco no lo encuentro.

Y no tengo nada sobre Marcos de Ávila y Antonia Macías. No los tengo en mi base de datos.

Saludos.
Jorge Luis Ramírez Gómez.

Comment

Hola Jorge,

Marcos de Avila y Antonia Macías (aka Antonia de Ortega) contrajeron
matrimonio el 26 de mayo de 1681 en la Parroquia de la Asunción de
Aguascalientes. Tuvieron por lo menos cinco hijos llamados José Vicente,
Tomás, Cristóbal, Juana y Gerónimo Avila Macías, todos bautizados en la
misma parroquia entre 1682 -1691. No sé si Antonia Macías esté relacionada
con los Macías de Ortega, pero es muy posible. Habrá que ver si los
entrevistó el Cura Párroco antes de casarlos para saber quienes eran sus
padres. Los de Marcos de Avila se sabe que fueron Luis de Avila y Catalina
de Grijalva (aka Catarina Cortés).

Saludos,
Bill Figueroa

Comment

Si encuentro algo sobre ellos, trataré de enviártelo. La verdad es que no había visto éste matrimonio o no le tomé atención. Si tengo el matrimonio de Luis de Ávila con Catalina de Grijalba. No se el nombre de los padres de Luis de Ávila, pero de los padres de Catalina de Grijalba tengo que son Matín Fernández de Vaulús e Isabel de Grijalba.

Martín Fernández de Vulús e Isabel de Grijalba casaron en Aguascalientes el 27 de noviembre de 1615. El es hijo de Pedro Fernández de Vaulús y María Gabay de Moctezuma; e Isabel, originaria de Colima es hija de Antonio de Velazco e Isabel de Grijalba.

Hi Bill, Im a bit confused I descend from the Macias Ortega, just have gotten this far, Im still in the early 1700s.

Maria hija de Jacinta Ortega was also known as Margarita Nunez de Ortega? Maria and Margarita a quite different?
-Daniel =

_________________________________________________________________

Comment

Hi Bill, not sure if you remember helping on my Diaz Tiscareno line, where it ends, I have Jose Diaz de Anda, hijo de Balthazar Diaz de Anda and Beatriz Tiscareno de Molina. Jose Diaz married a Jacinta de Ortega in 1679, they had my Nicolas Diaz Tiscareno. Do you think its possible my Jacinta de Ortega is the same one born to Francisco Macias Valades and Jacinta Ortega? Its the same time frame so I am wondering. -Daniel

_________________________________________________________________

Comment

Daniel,

Not the same Jacinta. Jacinta Macías (aka Jacinta de Ortega) was born in
Aguascalientes in 1645. She married Juan Fernández de Castro 03 June 1675
and had three children between 1676-1681. She died from complications after
giving birth to her daughter María in 1681.

Jacinta de Ortega Estrada married Joseph Díaz de Anda Altamirano on 12 Feb
1679 and had seven children between 1683-1702. She died 10 March 1729 in
Aguascalientes.

Bill Figueroa

Comment

Hi, Bill thanks do you have the last child's baptismal date of Jacinta Ortega and Juan Fernandez Castro? I guess I dont have her, do you have this Jacinta's death date? Do you have a clue or some lead of who might be my Jacinta de Ortega, you said she had the surname Ortega Estrada? How does How does Diaz de Anda Altamirano play with Balthazar, a Diaz had to marry a Anda Altamirano?

Many Thanks, Daniel

_________________________________________________________________

Comment

Hi Daniel,

María Fernández de Castro was baptized 06 Jan 1681 in Aguascalientes.
Jacinta Macías (aka Jacinta de Ortega) died 16 Feb 1681 from complications
after giving birth to her daughter.

The parents of Joseph Díaz de Anda Altamirano were Balthazar Díaz de Anda
Altamirano and Beatriz de Tiscareño. Balthazar Díaz de Anda Altamirano was
the son of Balthazar Díaz and María de Anda Altamirano. That's where the
compounded surname comes from. I haven't found who the parents of Jacinta
de Ortega were, but when I find out I'll let you know.

Hope this settles it, Daniel. I just don't have any more time available and
have to get to my other projects.

Bill Figueroa

Comment

Do you have the parents of Balthazar and Maria Anda? Or is this where it ends, I figuere Maria would be the daughter of the Captain Pedro? Ive always wondered if Balthazar Diaz is related to the other Diaz, like Diaz de Lomas. -Daniel

I was able to conclude the Jose Diaz de Anda (mine) and the Jose Diaz Tiscareno who was in danger of dying and recieved the special baptism are the same. Havent been able to find other kids for Balthazar and Beatriz. As for Jacinta, since I have more time for Aguas films, Ill look for a couple Estrada and Ortega. Its still possible that Jacinta could be another granddaughter of the Macias Ortega given the time span. Thanks for your help. -Daniel

, oh I found this, is this the one who married Baltazar Diaz? I didnt have this Maria. I still havent worked on the Anda Altamirano family mostly in 1700-1890. Im going through all the alteno families and creating a HUGe database. 0Daniel

Comment

Tengo a mi, pues vengo de ella 4 veces. Maria Micaela de los Santos de Macias y Ortega. En un bautismo de su hijo aparece Macias y luego en el mismo hijo en su confirmacion aparece como de Ortega. Lo se porque el esposo en los dos es antonio de Frausto. Encuentre un Frausto lo mas viejo en Aguas, Juan de Frausto casado 1684, mi Antonio debe ser su bisnieto. Todos estos tiene un tronco comun, como todos los Frausto que you he visto de Calvillo, vienen de Antonio Frausto y Maria Macias Ortega. A la vez, en Lagos llego un Frausto, llamado Diego de Frausto a Lagos de Moreno y caso 2 jun 1586, con la espanola Magdalena Gil de Lara. Pienso es possible el Juan de Aguas es bisnieto de este Diego? Frausto no es muy comun. -Daniel Camino

Juan del Camino

Senor del Camino:
The name of your ancestor, Juan del Camino, does appear on one roster of Nuno de Guzman's expedition. He is listed as being from Montanes and his wife was Magdalena Alvarado.

Comments

Comment

YEs, he is in the roster of Guzman, do you have a copy of that? If its possible, I would ask if you could send me a copy.
Magdalena de Alvarado was a niece of Pedro de Alvarado, conqueror of Guatemala and Governor. Juan and Magdalena married in Spain...since they crossed the ocean together, I believe...thats when his brother Diego Camino succeeded Pedro de Alvarado as Governor of Guatemala. The couple returned to NEw Spain, and first stopped in DF where he reported his regimiento del rey. After the conquest with Cortes he had to go to Valladolid to recieve his coat of Arms from Carlos V. I have found about 4 crossings my ancestor did. One for his wife, one for the King, and his kids, I guess. -Daniel

Martínez de Sotomayor vs. Martín de Sotomayor

Hi All, does anyone know if these two families are one in the same? I ve seen occasions when both names are used and others not.

Comments

Comment

My experience is that these names are often the same, with Martin. being used as the abbreviation of Martines. I've found dozens of examples of this name shift in my own genealogy. You just can't tell. Here's just one example, for Connie Dominguez, that shows MARTINES and MARTIN being used interchangeably.

Juan Jose MARTINEZ SOTOMAIOR and wife Juana ROMO DE VIVAR had at least two children: Juana Cayetana and Ygnacio Cayetano (esposa Rosa LANDEROS)

Connie,
Your (and Mary Lou's) info on Isidro Martin de Sotomayor's father and grandfather is one I been searching for a while. Thanks a lot! Regarding the children of Isidro and Josefa, I have a Ygnacio born on 15 march 1691 in Cienega de Mata, Jalisco (Batch M602321 Source 0641049). They also had other children, Antonia Toribia (my ancestor) married to Antonio de Aranda, and Juliana married to Nicolas Munos de Geres.

What appears to me is that the Martinez came from the Martin (which is usually the case), because I've got Martin surnames that go back further than the Martinez groups. This also holds if you look through the general surname searches on the IGI at FamiySearch. However, I can't seem to pinpoint the change.

My last ancestor of the Martinez group so far is Juan Jose Martinez de Sotomayor, born c. 1696 in Juiquinaque, Aguas. and married to Juana Romo de Vivar (dau. of Francisco Romo & Micaela Villalobos) c. 1716. However, I have an additional note in my files that says he was also listed as Juan Marin Soto-Marin on his daughter Juana Caietana's baptismal. I believe he is listed as Juan Marinez de Sotomayor on his other children's baptismals, as there are no notes I made on their entries.

On the Martin de Sotomayor side, my last ancestor is Juan Ignacio Martin de Sotomayor married to

Comment

my 2 centavos worth...

I've been following your messages on the Martin/Martinez subject and would
like to add a short comment, if I may.
My wife's father was Jose de Jesus Martinez Villalpando, born in Cañadas
de Obregon, Jalisco in 1916. His father was: Eugenio Martin Valadez. grand
parents were:Atanacio Martin, born about 1865, and Alejandra Valadez.
Jesus's mother was Antonina Villalpando Gomez, daughter of: Marciano
Villalpando y Apolonia Gomez.
It looks like the Martinez last name was started with him (Jose de Jesus)
and his brothers, the Martin was dropped in this case. They all moved to
Teocaltiche and later on some moved to Guadalajara, La Barca, and Puebla.
Last year I met one of my wife's cousins, who is the Doctor/Administrator
of the Seguro Social Hospital in Puebla, He told me that originally the
name Martinez had evolved from Martin del Campo, to Martin, and ended being
Martinez, that was the case with this family.
It could be different for other

Daniel,

I think I have some older info on these families, but I can't remember exactly what I found. I will respond with more info after searching at home.

Casó el 10 de junio de 1743 con María Andrea Macías Valadez (16 de marzo de 1727 - 15 de octubre de 1786), hija de José Segundo Macías Valadez y Petrona Javiera Muñoz de la Barba.

También tengo el matrimonio formado por José Antonio Gutiérrez y María de los Dolores Muñoz de la Barba, pero al igual que tu no tengo quienes son sus padres.

Saludos.

Diego Cortés y Delgadillo and Petronila de Isla

Does anyone have info on the Diego Delgadillo info in Nochistlán around 1625 or so. and Petrona de Isla, I wonder if that book Genealogia de Nochistlan includes any info on these families.

Daniel, I am a descendant of Petronila's sister, Bernardina. Here's the info I have:

Diego and Petronila were married in Nochistlan on 06 Feb 1668. They had the following children:
[all dates not verified, but are as listed on Familysearch.org]
1) Mariana, married Francisco Florez on 01 FEB 1674, in Nochis.
2) Agustin, baptized on 02 SEP 1674, in Nochis.
3) Bernardino, baptized on 25 JUL 1659, in Nochis.
4) Cristobal, baptized on 27 OCT 1677, in Nochis.
5) Juan, baptized on 06 JAN 1668, in Nochis.

PETRONILA was the daughter of Bernardino (Gonzalez) de Ysla and Mariana (Moscoso y) Sandoval, who were married in Nochistlan on 21 Apr 1631. I have not found record of Petronila's baptism.

Comment

Hi Claudia, thanks for the response Im only curious about the marriage of Diego and Ptronila 6 feb 1668? I dont think its possible if there Bernardino baptized 1659? Is this a mistake? Many Thanks. Daniel

> Diego and Petronila were married in Nochistlan on 06 Feb 1668. They had the following children:

I also have Tomasa baptized 1 Jan 1657, Mariana was baptized 23 mar 1655 and Catalina who married Juan Ramirez de Mendoza and Diego who married Fabiana Ramirez de Mendoza

Thank you all for the information and lively discussion! This has been quite helpful. I would have thanked everyone sooner, but I spent the weekend at the North American Basque Festival in Reno, and at the Goyhenetche Family Reunion (they are French Basques) that was held in conjunction with it.

Things that I have read of the Basques in Colonial Mexico seem to still be true today: the family is of primary importance. At the reunion, there were probably 150 people from California to Colorado, and every state in between!

Unfortunately, I had to miss the Nueva Galicia Genealogical Society meeting; but we may not have another reunion for 5 years!

In some baptismal records that I have seen, "de la Reyes" was attached to a given name of a child born on or around the time of Feast of the Three Kings (Jan 6), and "de la Trinidad" given to a child born around the time of the feast of the Holy Trinity (I can't recall the date). The COMPLETE GIVEN NAME would be "given name + feast day name", followed by a surname. Has anyone else noticed this naming pattern?

Comment

That's interesting....because the tradition still lived in my Jalisco
roots. Each child was named after the saints....so if you were born on
November 4th, your name would be Carlos or Carlotta - but you might add a family
name to it, such as Juan Carlos.

I was told of the traditional naming pattern of the given named many years ago. I found a book "The Lives of the Saints" by Omer Englebert, it's published by Barnes and Noble and is a great book if one wants to know the saint assigned to each day. I'm glad I wasn't name after the saint on my birthday......otherwise I'd be called "Eve".

I have a friend that was born in Chihuahua and had moved to California when she was 9. She recently told me a story about her name. Her parents were not traditional and had named her after the movie star "Norma Shearer" of the 1940's. Norma's other siblings were either named after American movie stars or Mexican singers so that when everyone in their village were celebrating their saints day.....Norma and her siblings could not. She said that she felt left out and until she told me this story she didn't know the exact name of the movie star until I researched it for her.

I find it an interesting story and wanted to share it.

My father was born on Jan.6th, 1934. His baptismal records show his name as "Jose Reyes" which was latter changed. My uncle Santiago is the only one who kept his "saint" name. I also have a saint name, my middle name is "Christopher"...poor Saint Christopher is no longer recoginzed as a saint, but I love him anyway...

Comment

When is St. Christopher's saint day? My middle name is Christina, and since I was born on April 13 (in the 1930s), and it was near Easter, so I thought I was named for Christ. Every few decades my birthday falls on Easter.

No nada mas en la información de los registros matrimoniales , sino también en las actas de nacimiento, bautizo de todo México de los años 1600 y 1700,en la pareja de matrimonios como tu dices se le dan el nombre de José Antonio, y María teresa , sin apellidos de sus padres.
En caso que tu marcas de, hijo legítimo de Juan Marcos y María de Silva," significa también quela mujer no es indígena o mulata, pero el maridos si.

en el caso de, Juana de la Cruz o María de la Cruz, en muchas ocasiones se esta tomando como apellido.
En ese periodo de tiempo como lo mencionas, también se les dan los apellidos de los patrones donde trabajan los indios o mulatos que eran esclavos, y las reglas por lo general eran de la iglesia o de los sacerdotes que no eran mexicanos, o que estudiaron en España.
En algunos escritos encontré personas con su apellido totalmente indígena, como ACOATLE, Pedro (de), AHUC, Diego, CUYAMEL, Pedro, CUXO, Pedro,

Bill,
A Tiscareno line that I have not been able to connect (perhaps until now) to Luis Tiscareno de Molina is the one of Joseph Tiscareno married to Maria Garcia (have not been able to find their wedding information). This couple had at least 5 children, Juan (christened 24 Oct 1715), Juan Antonio (4 Aug 1717), Antonio Alejandro (10 Oct 1724), Vicente (my direct ancestor, born about 1725) and Francisco Antonio (3 agosto 1728). These children were described as indio, mestizo, lobo, coyote, and is the only of my Tiscareno lines that is not Spanish. I wonder if this Joseph is the son of Francisco Tiscareno and Maria de Huerta. The timeline suggest it could be. What do you think?

Jaime Alvarado

Comment

Jaime,

Joseph Tiscareño (who married María García) could indeed be the son of
Francisco Tiscareño and María de Huerta. Joseph Tiscareño de Huerta,
mestizo, married Juana de Chávez 04 May 1704 according to an IGI Record in
Family Search. I have not looked for the actual record, but maybe you can
find it. Joseph Tiscareño and Juana de Chávez baptized six children in
Aguascalientes:

1. Francisco bapt. 16 Feb 1705
2. Blas bapt. 16 Feb 1707
3. Rosa María bapt. 18 Mar 1708
4. Lorenza Gertrudis bapt. 31 Aug 1710
5. Ignacio bapt. 16 Feb 1713
6. María bapt. 11 Nov 1714

Juana de Chávez died 10 Nov 1714, the day before her daughter María was
baptized. Joseph Tiscareño, a widower at 33 years of age, probably
remarried. I don't have time to look for his marriage record/marriage
information tonight, but I'm willing to bet he married María García sometime
between 10 Nov 1714 and Feb 1715. The timeline fits perfectly with the 5
children born between 1715 and 1728.

Let me know

Comment

Hi Bill, I have worked on the Chaves Fragoso family, I descend from them. There were two sisters Juana and Juana Maria (usually used Maria). They both married a Tiscareno brothers, JOsé Tiscareno (Jaime's José) and Juan Tiscareno. Juana Maria is daughter of Francisco Chaves Fragoso and Mariana (Marina) de Sotomayor. Its rather strange My Antonio Chaves y Fragoso married all the way in San Luis Potosi and settled in Aguas, he was son of Alejandro Chaves Fragoso, son of Diego Chaves y Fragoso, son of Pedro Chaves y Fragoso son of the patriarch and matriarch, Leonardo Fragoso and Ana de Chaves. They owned much land in Teocaltiche. -Daniel I hope this helps, Jaime!

Hello Daniel,

I beleive I too descend from Francisco Chavez & Marina Montanes/Soto Mayor. My connection is by their son Joseph Chavez (born: 02/25/1691) who married Margarita Medina 11/04/1718. I have Simon de Chavez and Juana de Padilla listed as Franciscos Parents. I also have Bernabe Montanez & Isabel Carrillo as Marina's Parents. I have not found the connection where the Soto Mayor/Soto Maior comes in. This is as far as I have gotten on this line. I've just developed this line within the last month. What caught my attention was the name Fragoso. One of Simon Chavez children was listed as Floriana de Chavez Fraguosa. Let me know if this is the same line or if I have mixed individuals around.

Hello Daniel and Rudy,

This is the information that I have from my book regarding Bernabe Montanez:

Montanez, Barnabe
The son of Juan Montanez and Maria de Sotomayor. He was baptized 2 August 1638 in Ojuelos, Jalisco. He married his first wife, Isabel Carrillo, the daughter of Diego Carrillo and Maria Lopes on 14 June 1659 in Teocaltiche, Jalisco. He married his second wife, Isabel Martin de Chavez Perez.

Most of this information came from Mary Lou Montagna's work on Juan Montanez, "The Genealogy of Juan Montanez and his Descendants in Aguascalientes, Jalisco, San Luis Potosi and Zacatecas", Sharr Journal, Vol IV 1998

I too have Simon Chavez and his wife Juana Padilla.

Thanks Rose, this helps alot I know know Bernabe had a sister Maria Concepcion Montanes. Never knew who she was until now. And Bernabe's parents, many thanks. Do you have more info on his second wife? Is Juan Montanes son of Juan Montanes I born in 1575 and Sebastiana Dias? Many Thanks. -Daniel

_________________________________________________________________

Comment

According to Mary Lou's work, Juan Montanez was married twice. Juan was from "Reyno de la Galicia natural de la ciudad de Salamanca, Reynos de Castilla, hijo legitimo de Juan Montantes y Ana Bisente.."

His first wife was Sebastiana Diaz, daughter of Miguel Diaz from Guanajuato and his second wife was Maria Medel. Sebastiana's paternal grandparents were Martin Alonso and Juana Sanchez. Her maternal grandparents were Pedro Medel, vecino of Lagos and Ana Dominguez.

Juan's second wife was Maria de Sotomayor of Andres de Martin y Maria de las Ruelas of Teocaltiche. This marriage per the Pinos register was on 14 April 1630. Maria de Sotomayor is also known as Maria de las Ruelas.

Hope this helps....Mary Lou did some great work on this line....

Jaime,

I found a marriage record for Joseph Yscareño and María Fabiana García.
Could this be the one you're looking for? I've seen the surname Tiscareño
spelled Yscareño before. These two were married in Aguascalientes 28 Dec
1712, both of unknown parents. He was mestizo and she was española, both
born and raised in Aguascalientes. This is not the same Joseph married to
María de Huerta, as she was still alive in 1712. You can see the marriage
record online under Matrimonios 1703-1721, Image 134/214, Foja 132.

Bill Figueroa

Comment

Hi Jaime and Bill, take a look at this, something I found interesting. Francisco Tiscareño de Molina, illigitmate child of Captain Juan. was mestizo, who married a mestiza Maria Huerta they had a Juan (1687). Juan was also a mestizo. Juan married a relative of mine, Juana Maria de Chaves y Fragoso in 1713 she was espanola. They had Maria Gertrudis Tiscareno de Molina, I think Ive seen her at least once use Chaves Fragoso. Maria Gertrudis was castizo (3/4 white and 1/4 amerindian). She married Vicente de Montoya another Spaniard. Their children were español. This Tiscareño branch of the illigitimate branch that started Mestizo ended up Spanish. Im always amazed at this type of stuff. Its probably the influence Francisco had around him and his father. Thought I might share this. -Daniel Camino

Comment

Bill,
Yesterday, I tried looking for the marriage of Joseph in the timeframe you suggested, and could not found anything. I moved back in time, just to see if it could be another Joseph. About an hour ago I found the same record you mentioned (thanks for searching). I also found the 'informacion matriomonial (Dec 24, 1712), with the hope of finding additional clues about their origin. Witnesses were Juan Luebano son of Bernabe Luebano y Tomasa de los Reyes, Nicolas Macias son of Nicolas Macias and Juana de Anda, and Tomas Macias hijo de Pedro Macias and Juana de Esparza. Joseph is identified as a servant of Capitan Salvador Escamilla.
Because of the timeline and names, I am sure these is the couple I was looking for. I guess, that is all we will ever know about their past.

Thanks again

Bill,
Thanks for the info regarding Petronila Moctezuma. As with many members of NR originating in Aguas, the more I dig, the more connections I find to her. Specifically, my paternal grandmother was connected to Petronila via her paternal grandfather (to Maria Gabai) and via her maternal grandparents (both to Francisca Gabai through the very prolific Tiscarenos and Ruiz de Esparzas). Thus establishing the connection to Moctezuma II, could serve several purposes. The first and perhaps the obvious, to connect with 'royalty'. It makes the least and nice conversation piece. The other, and in my mind by far more relevant, is to help re-write Mexico's history by debunking the myth that with the arrival of the Spaniards, the new order was exclusively the domain of the conquistadors (with exception of a few Tlaxcaltecan nobles), a point eloquently made in the introduction of Chipman's book on Moctezuma's children. My visits as a child to my father's birthplace of Aguascalientes was filled

Hi there George ,

My name is Welester G. Alvarado , maybe I can shed a little light here on the de la Cruz part .

A friend of mine Arq. Jose Francisco Garza Carrillo ( author of Matrimonios en la Catedral de Monterrey, Nuevo Leon , Mexico, 1667-1781 ) told me that since the indians didn´t have last names the priest would put the sign of the cross when the child was baptized .

So, their names became Jose or Maria or whatever first name they had and the cross would be translated as ¨de la Cruz ( of the church , of G-D , of the cross ) .

Hope this helps ,

Welester

> There are numerous cases where the name is Juana de la Cruz or Maria de la Cruz. Is "de la Cruz" considered a family name or part of the first name? There also also other names such as de los Reyes, de la Trinidad, and so on.
>
> I realize that Spanish and Mexican naming practices are complex, and the "rules" are often not followed, but can anyone shed some light on the practices in this

Comment

George,

When you get back to the early 1600 and 1700's you will find that the criollos or espanoles were marrying the indigenous population who did not have surnames, thus the use of first names only.

By the way, will you be attending the Nueva Galicia Genealogical meeting in Elk Grove tomorrow? if you are, I will see you there.

I have recently been looking at a lot of the matrimonial information records for Aguascalientes in the 1600s and early 1700, and I have noticed that for many people, especially for indios and mulatos, the couple's names are given as first names only, for example "Juan Diego" and "Maria Magdalena" with no family names for them or their parents. In other records, the data might be something like "Juan Diego hijo legitimo de Marcos

Comment

Hi George, Alicia, Bill et al.

The Castilian naming custom is complexed i even get confused and have done researching for some years now. During the time from medieval age to the 1700s people could name there children any way they wanted. Sorry I have to use "straight up castellano names to prove my point" Take a person named Juan Montero de Castilla he marries María Beltrán de la Cueva. They have a daughter named Juana. The same name as her maternal grandmother. María's mother's name is Juana García de Oviedo. That same Juana daughter of Juan and María will not take the name Juana Montero but Juana García de Oviedo. Now if she wants to use both her father's and mat. grandmother's names she can. This proves the thousands of times in New Spain where people use different alias. I have an ancestor who uses Elena de Jaén, Elena Beltrán de la Cueva, Elena de Cuevas, etc..

This is only one matter which could also apply to males. A boy could take his mothers name because of importance

Comment

George,

My experience extracting information from early records of Aguascalientes
has been as follows:

With very few exceptions, Spaniards did not marry within the indigenous
population in the 17th century. Indians married indians, blacks married
blacks or mulatos, etc. However, there were a large number of illegitimate
children born to "españoles" with "indias" and "mulatas". Many of these
children were abandoned by their parents and grew up in orfanages or were
adopted by those families who could afford to more children than their own.
Abandoned children given to the church by parents who did not want them or
could not support them were pronounced "hijos de la Iglesia" (God's
children). If the priest could not find a home for them they were put in an
orfanage. There were many orfanages throughout Latin America administered
by religious groups and supported with church members contributions.

The children of indigeneous families, who did not have surnames, were

Hi Bill, I too have the Moctezuma connection but I dont rhink Petronila was native America, yes of descent she can have a degree, but (depending which genealogy you follow) Petronila (in the Casta sense ) she would be Castiza or española.

Here is how I have the genealogy, Ive seen all crazy stuff, but just stick to this one

Ill also include what casta they are to show my point.

Moctezuma II (indígena)

Isabel de Moctezuma (indígena) = Hernán Cortés (español)

Leonor de Moctezuma (mestiza) = Diego Arias de Sotelo (español)

Petronila de Moctezuma (castiza) = Martín Navarro de Gabay (español)

Ana-Francisca Navarro de Gabay (española)=Lope Ruiz, Señor de Esparza (español)

Now by the time you get to the Esparza both parents are 'Spaniard' (to some sense)

ana Franca. would have looked like any regular european woman.

I like you dont believe there is such thing as a pure race. Just like whites in United States (according to a study) many have black ancestors

Comment

Daniel,

The information linking Petronila de Moctezuma to Hernán Cortés and
Moctezuma II is pure fiction, without proof or solid basis for it. Yet when
published online it appears true to unsuspecting users. I have looked at
this information for several years from many different angles, always trying
to prove or disprove it. To this effect I have searched in historical
archives in Aguascalientes and Guadalajara, read books about Moctezuma and
searched online wherever I could. So far, this information has eluded me
and many other people. In 2005, Mr John Inclán published a genealogy report
that included Petronila de Moctezuma as a daughter of Leonor de Valderrama
CORTES de Moctezuma and Diego Arias de Sotelo. Apparently, Mr. Inclan
confused two Leonores ie. the illegitimate daughter of Isabel de Moctezuma
and Hernán Cortés, who married Juan de Tolosa; and Isabel's half sister
Mariana, who appears in some documents as Leonor. This Mariana/Leonor de
Moctezuma married Christobal de

Bill,

Thank you so much for addressing this issue. I too am a descendant of
Petrolina de Moctezuma and have come to the same conclusion you have about
the confusion between the two Leonores. It is all too easy to mislead people
when we are not careful with our facts. Without solid evidence it is all
speculation or conjecture and it should be stated as such.

Thankyou,

Comment

Angelina,

That's so true. To me, genealogy is an exact science, just like math.
There should be one correct answer, without ambiguity of any kind. I'm
still trying to solve this puzzle and have some leads I will follow in the
next few months, but for the time being I have Petronila only as a
descendant of Moctezuma II.

Regards,
Bill

Bill,
Are you aware of the existence of any document where Petronilla is identified as descendant of Moctezuma? I have the recollection that there is some document that states referring to her with something such as: "known to be grand daughter of Moctezuma", but I have not been able to track the source.

Jaime,

The only documentation that I know exists is mentioned in a submission to
the LDS by mexican genealogist Jaime Holcombe. Apparently, he had a
document in which Lope Ruiz de Esparza stated that "the mother of his wife
was the granddaughter of the last Aztec emperor, Moctezuma". He mentioned
that this document had been given to him by Lic. Luis López Martínez. It is
my understanding that he gave that document to Dr. Mariano González-Leal to
include in his book(s) "Retoños de España en la Nueva Galicia". As you
know, Mr. González-Leal has published two volumes of his book and will soon
release several others. I've tried to contact him several times in the past
but got no reply to my inquiries. Let's hope that the Ruiz de Esparza
genealogy is included in one of his remaining books.

There is another document that I saw in the lds library in west los angeles where after 2 years after  arriving in mexico ( I think Puebla) lope ruiz de esparza states that he is married to petronila moctezuma and it states that she is a descendent of Moctezuma II. If I recall correctly, it did not list her parents
I saw this document 1 day before the library closed for renovations. I was busy getting as much work done as I could when another patron next to me pointed out that he had found that document. We had to leave and was unable to make a copy of said document but took quick notes. I will look for them.
I have put aside much of my genealogy work due to illnesses in my family. I have also not been as careful with my notes due to these distractions. I will reorganize the work that I have done in the past 6 months to make sure that  I don't toss away important notes

Angelina and Bill

I agree with you both....I have for many years have looked for documentation linking Petrolina to Cortes. Like Bill, I too have spent many hours reading books and genealogy lines with no PROOF. So I have not added Cortes to my line....but I know many people who have because they ASSUME the vague information they read from others is correct. Genealogy at times is not easy as some people think....it takes time (years and years). Nothing is handed on a silver platter.....for the most part.

Which reminds me of a situation I observed one night. I was at a family history center when a woman came in and was very upset that she had to do research and dig for her ancestry....she thought the history centers had all the answers she needed.....she was quite put out by this.

Hi Daniel,

Francisco Tiscareño was the illegitimate child of Juan Tiscareño, son of
Luis Tiscareño de Molina and Lorenza Ruiz de Esparza. Capt. Juan Tiscareño
was 26 years old when he married Isabel Romo de Vivar, but before he married
her he had an out of wedlock child with an unknown mother, probably an
indian girl from the ranch. This child, Francisco, grew up at the
Tiscareño's ranch and was recognized as a son by Juan Tiscareño. Francisco
married María de Huerta, also a mestiza, ca. 1680. They baptized four
legitimate children in Aguascalientes between 1681 and 1687. María de
Huerta died 5 Aug 1687, two weeks after her last son was born. Francisco
remarried in 1690 and had at least one child with his second wife Margarita
Sánchez, also mestiza. Margarita Tiscareño was born in 1696. I'm still
extracting baptismal information for the period 1696-1701, so I may find
other children for this couple. An the beat goes on...

Jorge,

Margarita Sánchez, segunda esposa de Francisco Tiscareño (hijo natural del
Capt. Juan Tiscareño Esparza) también fue conocida como Margarita Ramírez.
Era hija de Bernabé Sánchez y Magdalena Ramírez, vecinos de Teocaltiche. Se
casaron en la iglesia parroquial de Aguascalientes el 25 de febrero de 1690.
La primera hija de este matrimonio se llamó Margarita Tiscareño, quien fue
bautizada el 2 de agosto de 1696 en la Parroquia de la Asunción de
Aguascalientes. Todos eran mestizos.

No sé quien era Margarita Márquez Sosa. Talvez pudieras orientarme para
verificar ese dato.

Tengo el matrimonio de Francisco Tiscareño de Molina con Margarita Márquez Sosa, los cuales tuvieron varios hijos entre ellos Felipe en 1701 y Teresa en 1720, pero entre éstas fechas aparecen mas hijos, pero de Margarita Sánchez, lo cual me hizo pensar que era la misma persona.

Ahora que mencionas que Margarita Sánchez es hija de Bernabé Sánchez y Magdalena Ramírez, busqué en el IGI y aparecen varios hijos de éste matrimonio con el apellido Sánchez de Sosa, por lo que es mas posible que sea la misma Margarita de la que hablamos, bautizada el 22 de julio de 1674 en Teocaltiche con el nombre de Magdalena Sánchez de Sosa. En su acta de defunción solo aparece como Margarita de Sosa, el día 27 de agosto de 1724.

Margarita murió en Aguascalientes y en su acta de defunción aparece como Margarita de Sosa. No se porque aparece como Márquez, es decir, no se porque la registré como Márquez.

When you get back to the early 1600 and 1700's you will find that the
criollos or espanoles were marrying the indigenous population who did not
have surnames, thus the use of first names only.

By the way, will you be attending the Nueva Galicia Genealogical meeting in
Elk Grove tomorrow? if you are, I will see you there.

Hola, Salvador. Con todo el respeto que te mereces, debo decirte que estoy en desacuerdo contigo. Si no me equivoco, de los grupos indígenas que habitaban lo que es hoy la República Mexicana, solo los Mayas tenían la costumbre de usar nombres y apellidos, tal como los usan hoy en día en Yucatán, Guatemala y otras regiones de Centroamérica (Honduras y Belice). En Guatemala, donde el mestisaje no fue tan intenso como en México, los descendientes de los Mayas aún conservan sus apellidos con orgullo. Lo mismo sucede en Yucatán, Chiapas y Tabasco. Como recordarás, Chiapas y Tabasco formaron parte de la que fuera Capitanía General de Guatemala, hasta que optaron por anexarse a México después de la Independencia de Centroamérica (15 de Septiembre de 1821). Después de leer miles de partidas de bautizo y actas de matrimonio de Aguascalientes, así como informaciones matrimoniales, confirmaciones, defunciones, etc. he venido a darme cuenta que los indígenas que habitaban "la Gran Chichimeca

Hi Bill, I putting this out there, my Latin American Studies teacher said that slave trade ened in Colonial Spanish America when the country gained independence but within each indiviadiual country slavery still exsisted, for instance Mexico didnt abolish (legally) slavery until 1920 at the end of the Revolution. Before the Revolution of 1910 there are no known articles or laws saying you can legally hold slaves, only that freed slaves remain free forever. The Constitution of 1917 (I think) was the one that talked about slavery. This was about 2 years ago I was taught so not sure if its true or not. She was an excellent teacher though. -Daniel Camino

I can't write in Spanish very well, but what Salvador says, I can confirm.

I have been able to trace ancestry (Coahuila) area to "indios" Tlascaltecas
via birth certificate documents. I was initially surprised that this
tribe was in Coahuila (as I heard Malinche was Tlacalteca). But after doing
research, I found that these were one of the few Indian Nations that were
considered "civilized" by the Spaniards - I am surmising because they helped
in the conquist of Mexico. The surnames for my Indian ancestry is as
follows:

Gaspar Bermeo married abt 1742 MaCandalaria de los Rios in Nadadores,

Bill and others- forgive my not being able to reply in Spanish - albeit I
can read Spanish with some fluency, I am embarrassed to write it .

Fascinated to know that you did your dissertation in our area of interest!!
Accordingly, were you the one that once posted some indigenous cultures
adopted surnames that reflected their surroundings? Might you be referring
to the Tlaxcaltecas as well? It seems to align with what I have found with
my Tlacalteca ancestry: "del Rio", "Flores".....while the Bermea/Bermeo
certainly sounds like an inherited surname from the Spanish, as were
subsequent surnames that they married into.

Hi Esperanza, surnames that were 'typically' given to native americans could have also been names used by Spaniards. My grandfather had a friend in Mexico named Rodrigo Martínez del Río and he was Mexican of Spanish descent. His family is pretty famous down there. Los Martínez del Río. Like also, de la Cruz, etc. I have seen native last names actually in records like Michoacan ocassially ill find Tarascans with names like José María Antioco hijo de Pedro Antioco y María Luz Jallahua. Names are pretty interesting. -Daniel Camino

Daniel,
I disagree with 1920 as the date when slavery was abolished in Mexico. It happen much earlier. I found an interesting site on slavery by a group at the University of Barcelona (http://www.cedt.org) that includes a useful chronology on the subject (http://www.cedt.org/crono.htm). Mexicans generally accept that slavery was abolished by Father Hidalgo in 1810. However, actual abolishment did not happen until 1821 with Mexico's Independence from Spain, but it only applied to the people born in Mexico (thus, I guess slaves could still be imported). Slavery was abolished in all forms by decree (the third of its kind) by President Vicente Guerrero in 1829, although it was was not incorporated into law until the new Constitution of 1857.
Evidence in favor of the earlier abolishment of slavery comes from Church records. I have not been able to find any reference to the status of slavery in any christening, wedding or burial after 1821 (at least in Aguascalientes, Jalisco, Coahuila and

Bernardino Verástique in Michoacán and Eden- Vasco de Quiroga and the Evangelization of Western Mexico discusses slavery at pp. 112-118 in the context of Quiroga's utopian plans.

He says that intitially the Catholic sovereigns intitially banned enslavement of the "Amerindians" in the Carribean phases, but that this was replaced by the ecomienda system.

Quiroga wrote treatises and arguments in response to the pro-slavery
argument. The pro-slavery argument was that the Indios were "rescued" by the Spanish, when they were converted, and enslavement was a legal way to repay the
implied ransom.
