Hello Steve,
I jumped three feet in the air when I read that you wrote :

I have worked on some of these families myself. I was disappointed when I did not find these lines in Mariano Gonzalez leal's books. My mother in laws great grandmother is Aldana, and she has Vital-Ibarra and Hernandez gamino also from arandas and Ayo el Chico. I also have done some work on the Marentes lines in Jalos and Tepa.
Have you done any work on Suazo and Carmona lines?
Good luck on your research.

Well I hope you are not holding your breath, as my first of several books is still a few years away unfortunately. But when they are ready for publication, there will be announcements.
I have members of the Suazo y Carmona family members in my records, but I am not a Suazo y Carmona by blood. Since I do not descend from them I am guilty as charged of not caring about lines that are not my own. They marry into a few of my lines from Tepatitlán, primarily Alvarez de la Cruz, Cortes, Velásquez, Estrada, Loza, and a few others. I have more info on these families that the Suazos married into.
I have investigated the Suazos as far as I was capable, but not with the same relentless passion and diligence that I endeavor in my own lines, so I have not really continued at all.
And the short list I compiled of family names missing from Retoños, I mentioned Hernández Gamiño, Marentes de Otadui y Avendaño, Ornelas, & Sánchez de Mendoza. All these have chapters in Retoños, but I have

Just thought of two more surnames not in Retoños...Martel de Villegas and Olmos. These have interesting histories.
I'll comment later on your line of Hernández Gamiño and Vital-Ibarra, but suffice it to say that Domingo Hernández Gamiño and Maria Gertrudis Vital-Ibarra are my tios. Their parents are my ancestors. I have lots on them.
However, don't have detailed info on the other lines. Except Velasquez though. I connect there.
