Hi group,

I just thought I would add that the Sagrada Mitra book costs $160.  I purchased it a few months ago, and it is tremendously helpful and interesting.  It has a lengthy index, and the entries summarize the relationships between pretensos.  As a favor to the group, I would be happy to do lookups of names.  The book focuses on the areas within the archbishopric of Guadalajara, from the late 1600s until the early 1700s.  If you want me to look up a name for you, send me the complete names of a couple (and parents if you know them), their location, and approximate dates to my private email address.   I'll respond as soon as possible.  The summaries briefly relate what is in the dispensation, along with the FHC film number so you can look up the actual document.

Thank you.

Alicia:

I must say I have been very lucky as well.  I actually
started last 
Spring, but like Maria, I had help from some
relatives.  On my 
maternal side, I have an aunt who has incredible
memory and still 
recalls the names and family history of her
great-grandparents from 
stories told to her as a child.  On my paternal side,
my father was 
made the keeper of family history when he was handed a
pile of 
documents by an uncle shortly before his death.  These
two 
repositories made it much easier to delve into the
baptismal records 
since I had good family information going back to the
late 1800s.

The next piece of luck I had was that the main town
where I have been 
researching (Totatiche, Jalisco) has immaculate church
records... no 
missing books and all indexed in IGI and VRI.  Now
that I have 
started branching out more and more to other towns, I
realize that 
this is not the case everywhere.

Finally, my primas, Rosalinda Ruiz and Angie Godina,
from this group 
have helped me out a lot.  Also, the local histories
and genealogies 
that have been written up and the land documents and
censuses that 
have been transcribed by Esteban Valdes Salazar for
Totatiche have 
been very helpful.  I know that the easy part is now
over as the 
baptismal records end around 1700 for Totatiche and
Colotlan.

Also, my research has become a bit of an obsesion and
I spend every 
other Saturday at the Family History Center and lots
of free time 
doing research, filling in holes, etc.

Alicia, I had not heard of this Retonos de Espana
book... I will have 
to look it up, though even the Library of Congress
does not appear to 
have a copy.

Alberto, the Sagrada Mitra is a transcription of a
large number of 
FHL/LDS films on marriage dispensations by the
Bishphoric of New 
Galicia (which included the modern states of Jalisco,
Nayarit, 
Aguascalientes, Zacatecas, Nuevo Leon, and Texas) in
the 1600s and 
1700s, with a name index.  The FHL in Salt Lake City
has a copy, but 
it is not on film.  I suggest you try to find a copy
near you in a 
library... Alternatively you can order one from
Borderlands Books.
