Hey Charles,

I just noticed that you are researching Godina. So am I. But my family is from Colotlan, Jalisco. What information do you have on the surname? I have my files posted in the files section. Take a look and let me know if you see anything familar.

Hi Ana....

I am a Luna from my mothers side (Tlaltenango). Take a look at my rather
simple direct lineage that I have posted on nuestros ranchos. I have been
rather stuck on the Luna lineage.

I have finally downloaded PAF file, and all the names...just don't know how
to get up on this site.

Welcom Charles Flores,

I am happy to see new members into this group. We have been quiet for a bit.....probably everyone is busy with life and living. My area of research also includes Nochistlan and extends into Jalpa and Rincon de Romos Aguascalientes.

Are you new to genealogy or just new to the group? Have you had a chance to peruse the member files, if not that's a great place to start. You might also want to check out the features of this site such as the films section, the resources, maps, links, photos etc.

Look forward to hearing from you regarding your research and your ancestors.

Thank you, Alicia. I am sort of new to genealogy. I have done a lot of
snooping around on the internet with google searches and such. I plan on taking
a trip to UCBerkeley in three weeks. They purchased Mexico's documents from
the Mexican Inquisition. There are over sixty different docs. There is one
on the Flores de la Torre family's genealogy from the the town of Juchipila.
It was requested by two Flores de la Torre family members. I wonder if
there was something bad that came of it Because I have discovered the Flores
family descended from conversos from Sevilla ( sometime around siglo XIV or
siglo XV).
It was considered an incredible acquisition for the Bancroft Library. I
cant wait to learn more.
thanks again,
Charles Flores

Charles,

There is a SIG group within NuestrosRanchos that went to UCBerkeley and
had a visit of their archives. Maybe some of them can give you some
ideas on what else you might find there. But regardless of that please
do take notes and if you wouldn't mind giving us a report on what you
find and how other can possibly access some of the material well that
would be great of you.

thanks,

joseph

Thanks, I would love a little help. I have never been to this campus
library. I will, in turn, take notes to report about these volumes.

Hello Charles,

As you probably know, Hernán Flores de la Torre, encomendero de Juchipila,
married Juana de Aguilar y Salado, the daughter of Gaspar de Aguilar and
Bernarda Salado. Juana de Aguilar y Salado was born in Aguascalientes,
where her parents lived and died. An interesting twist is that Bernarda
Salado, Juana's mother, was at one time accused of being a witch by "el
Santo Oficio de la Inquisición."

I would be interested in whatever information you can find at the Bancroft
Library related to this family. Let me know if you wish to exchange some
genealogical information.

Regards,

Bill Figueroa

Bill,
I do have him. I have him as married Oct 4, 1654. His Father was Hernan
Flores de la Torre y Figueroa. Is this part of your Figueroa line?
Yes, of course, let's exchange info.
BTW my family has Figueroa in it. I just cant remember how my father told
me. He is gone now but he distinctively talked about them as cousins or
distant cousins. They may have came to the US in the 1920's. Our family was based
in Oxnard, Ca...These relatives may have been in Santa Paula, Ca.

Hi Charles and Anna,

I am not related to Hernán Flores de la Torre y Figueroa. My Figueroa line originates from Spanish settlers who arrived in the capital city of Santiago de los Caballeros de Guatemala (today Antigua Guatemala) during colonial times, before the devastating earthquake of 1773. The capital was at that time moved to its present location.

My connection with Aguascalientes, Zacatecas and Altos de Jalisco is through my maternal family lines. My great-grandmother Josefa Frías Ruiz-de-Esparza, born in Rincón de Romos in 1848, was a direct descendant of Lope Ruiz de Esparza and other early settlers of Aguascalientes.

Lope, a native of Pamplona, arrived in Mexico City in 1593. He was a 26 years old native of Pamplona, Navarra. Shortly after his arrival in Mexico he married Francisca Gabai de Moctezuma, a daughter of Martín Navarro and Petronila de Moctezuma. Lope and Francisca settled in the village of Aguascalientes, then a small hamlet with very few people. They

I sounds like Lope, Francisca, Maria, and Pedro started something very big.
Thank you, Bill. I have included all these names into my computer. That is
great that you have discovered your line all the way back to Lope.
Muchos Gracias,

Hello All, first I'd like to thank Joseph for allowing me to join the site. My name is Robert Gonzalez, my area of research is Los Altos de Jalisco, specifically, Tepatitlan and "La Villa" San Jose De Basarte. My father and grandfather were born in La Villa \ SJB. My Great Grandfather, Gregorio Gonzalez is buried beneath the alter of the small church\ capilla there. I also have records of my great,great grandfather and some other family members but have hit a wall. Ultimatley I'd like to take my research all the way back to Spain to find out where my family line started. Names I'd like to research are Gonzalez, Casillas and Alonso. It seems that for at least two generations, the Gonzalez line married into the Casillas line. Any info on San Jose de Basarte would be greatly appreciated, I do have some minor info in regards to the history of La Villa but not enough to satisfy my curiosity. Thank you all, I look forward to sharing info with all of you, Robert Gonzalez ~

Hola Robert, me da gusto que estés en este grupo de genealogía. Yo también soy de Tepatitlán al igual que tus ancestros, y conozco La Villa de San José de Bazarte, uno de los primeros poblados españoles de Tepatitlán, en el que se asentaron varias familias como los Ornelas, Gómez de Espejo, Aceves, Gutiérrez Galindo, de la Mora Hurtado de Mendoza, Becerra, etc.

Que otros apellidos buscas en Tepatitlán además del González?

Saludos.
Jorge Luis Ramírez Gómez.
