Santos Coy

I am a descendant of the Juan Caliz also. I descend throught the Arredondos who married Santos COy and the Yslas Palacios of the mining area of Villaldama, Nuevo Leon who also married Santos Coy.

THe dna testing the results posted out on Gary Felix's Genealogy of Mexico website suggest a semitic origin to the family.

Hijo de Estado Chico

Does anyone know what "hijo de estado chico" means in a church document? We have in particular a marriage between Francisco Godoy and Maria Rosa Llamas, where it states that Francisco is "hijo de estado chico" de Nicolas Godoy y Brigida Ortiz...

Aguascalientes Census 1930 Now Being Indexed!

The familysearchindexing.com site has recently put up the Aguascalientes section of the 1930 Mexico census up as a project!

Given that most people in this group are computer saavy and that this state is smack in the heart of our area of research, we should try to get as many people involved in helping out with this indexing project. You can volunteer to index as little or as much as you want and you can do it anytime you want over the internet.

For Raul Fernandez

Raul, I don't know if you have this information but I do have some of your line from Los Haros, Jerez Zacetacs that shows it a couple of generations further back than you posted in your file on both the Santiago and Haro families. My records only have 3 children for Jose Maria Hurtado and Maria Matilde Santiago, they are Pascuala 1889, Fabiana 1900 and Benigno in 1903.

Hijo de Estado Chico

Greetings,

As I am new to Nuestros Ranchos, please forgive me if I am not upto date. However, I have been reading about the person looking to understand what "Hijo de Estado Chico" means.

If I am not mistaken, in the old days one was described due to their economical status. Although "Estado" could mean or describe someone "status" lets not forget it also stands for "State" as in location. The word chico could mean "minor" meaning under age, but it could also stand for "small" as in someone from a small state/town. I think when they announce Estado Chico, it could mean someone from a small town/ranch, someone without large economical status or resources, maybe a humble person, etc......
