Hi Danny,

You didn't provide much information on this family. What is Maria Getrudis Gomez's husbands name. Who are their children? Do you have any other information on them? Some of the Martel family members also used Gallegos as a surname.

Comentario

Mr. Ricci,

I don't really have any information on Miguel Gómez and María Martel other than from the IM of the marriage on April 15, 1725 of their daughter Gertrudis Gómez and Juan de Santiago Macías. Here is the IM: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-DYM7-NTY

On the actual marriage record, the parents aren't named, but their daughter Gertrudis Gómez is listed as María Martel like her mother.

Danny,

Here is the death record of Juan de Santiago's first wife, Javiera Lopez.

Name Javiera Lopes
Event Type Death
Event Place Asunción de María, Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes, Mexico
Gender Female
Marital Status Married
Burial Date 01 Apr 1724
Spouse's Name Juan de Santiago Masias
Citing this Record
México, Aguascalientes, registros parroquiales, 1620-1962, database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:N87P-TY7 : 16 February 2017), Javiera Lopes, ; citing Death, Asunción de María, Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes, Mexico, parroquias Católicas, Aguascalientes (Catholic church parishes, Aguascalientes

Is Juan Santiago Macias the son of Nicolas Macias Valadez and Maria Antonia de la Fuente? If he is then I think his name is Juan Xavier de Santiago Macias Valadez.

Rick A. Ricci

Comentario

Danny,

Juan de Santiago Macías Is listed as español in his first wife's burial record. Juan de Santiago was a widower when he married his Maria Getrudis Gomez Martel. Many times they don't list the parents of a widower when he remarries, they just list his first wife and when she passed away. That was how I knew where to look for her burial record. I checked their marriage record to see if his parents are listed there but they are not. The first wife is named Francisca Xaviera Lopez, not just Xaviera. They were also married twice with the second making the marriage more official. The first marriage may have been in Jalisco two years earlier away from her family so they married again in front of her family.

Is Juan de Santiago Macias your ancestor?

Rick A. Ricci

Comentario

Yes, Juan de Santiago Macías is my ancestor, but I'm pretty sure someone told me he's an hijo de padres no conocidos that's why I'm mostly trying to find out about his wife's parents Miguel Gómez and María Martel.

My children's paternal line is mostly from Aguascalientes, especially Asientos. They are represented by the FTDNA account for Tobey Bernal. His DNA has also been uploaded to GedMatch, with the ID T228105, for comparison. I have a tree at Ancestry.com, but it's a bit old. I have to upload another. I have made some discoveries in the past couple of days, and it looks like my children descend from Lope Ruiz de Esparza b. 1569 (12th great-grandfather of Tobey). I would appreciate if anyone with ancestors from Aguascalientes could compare DNA and get back to me. I manage Tobey's accounts. I am happy to share my tree.

Thank you!

Comentario

Joan,
Lope Ruiz de Esparza is the brother of my 10th great grandfather Francisco Ruiz de Esparza, both being sons of Lope Ruiz, born abt 1540. My GEDmatch no. is T771275. However, 10-12 generations back will not produce an estimated relationship on GEDmatch.
Regards,
Roy Rodriguez

Comentario

pappyrod- occasionaly you can get matches with an estimated mrca as between 5-7, and yet the common ancestor you have with them is like 10+ generations ago. it's just luck and chance in that regard

Comentario

You upload your autosomal DNA results and you can explore your matches. It's anectdotal but I just found a group made up of a father and his two daughters who descend from my GGgrandfather. I think it could help you.

Regards,

Bernardo

Comentario

GEDmatch.com accepts results from a few other testing sites, 23andMe, FamilyTreeDNA, etc.
Therefore, you'll find additional matches not necessarily found on AncestryDNA.

There are some useful tools provided that will allow you to different types of matches.

Best of all...it's free.

p.s. Yes, it is so anoying that people don't respond.

Comentario

O.K., I guess you mean, that first I upload my AncestryDna to my harddrive, afterwards
upload the file(s) to GEDmatch? I am somewhat familiar with computer, not the brightest bulb in the field of IT, that is why, I asked. my generation is the one above the Baby boomers, late comers, to the world of digital/computer era.

Comentario

I too would like to learn how to load my DNA test results from both ancestry.com and 23andMe. Is it possible to get a step-by-step list?

Thank you!

Comentario

Maria,

Which part are you needing help with on loading DNA test results to Gedmatch? The first thing to do is go to www.gedmatch.com and create and account then login. Once you are logged in to www.gedmatch.com there is a section on the right titled File Uploads. You can click on the 23andMe fast & easy to transfer your 23andme raw data. Once that is done then you can go back and click on Generic Upload FAST for instructions to download your Ancestry.com raw data file then upload it to www.gedmatch.com

Saludos,
Armando

I did it! 23andMe is down but I uploaded my ancestry DNA. I'll upload the other one too on Monday.

Thank you x 100

I guess this subject is not directly related to genealogy, but it's always nice to see your home country (or the one your ancestors came from) win such an important event. Well, I can try and link it to our target area with a small story I just learned a few days ago. Both my wife and I grew up in a town in Jalisco named Zacoalco de Torres. Years ago, when she was a kid, she knew this family who lived right next door to her. She tells me that she and her brothers used to play hide and seek with the kids of this family every now and then. A couple years later, the family moved. Just the other day, my wife was calling her dad, and he told her that one of the kids they used to play with became a soccer player, and he was actually with the Mexican team in London. His name is Miguel Ponce, and even though he played as substitute, he was one of the lucky ones receiving a gold medal today in London. He is probably the first person growing up in my hometown Zacoalco who obtains an Olympic gold

Hola Las Flores:

El sistema indicando la raza de las personas perteneció a la época del Virreinato. Desde principios del Siglo XIX se conocieron las ideologías liberales. Los precursores de la Independencia combatieron la división por razas.

A partir de la Independencia en 1821 fueron desapareciendo las distinciones por raza, en unos lugares más pronto que otros, actualmente no es permitido hacer esas distinciones, la excepción es en las zonas indígenas en donde se toman medidas de protección en favor de estas poblaciones.

When growing up, we had an elderly neighbor known as Cheva, we'd call her
Doña Cheva, at her funeral we found out her given name was Eusebia.

When I was growing up, we lived in a mostly all white neighborhood and
supposedly the neighbors across the street couldn't say my name Alicia so
everyone called me Alice. When I was about 19 years of age, I made the
decision to take back my name from Alice to "Alicia". To this day, some of
the old family friends will call me Alice, but about 99% of the people who
know me, call me by my given name Alicia. Just like Consuelo, I wanted my
given name back and wasn't willing to accept other people's version of my
name.

I experienced the exact opposite.My given name is Alice and regardless, all my Spanish speaking family and friendswould insist on calling me Alicia.  As a child and adolescent, I was afraid of disrespecting them,so I just smiled and went along with it.   As I live in San Antonio, this continued all my life. Upon entering university for undergraduate and thengraduate school, I insisted on my given name.  It was time I stood up for myself and honored my parents choice. Alice BB

Consuelo,

Nicknames are very subjective, subject to the whims of each family. I have
friends with a Josefina, one is known as Pina and the other is known as
Chepina, each from a different family.

In my own family, my nephew Roberto is still to this day called Tito. When
he was a baby we'd all call him Robertito, which was shortened to "Tito"

I being Alicia have been called at times Licha, that's what my mother in
law called me and while I'm not crazy about the nickname, I know she
shortened my name with love, so that made it special.

And of course your name is lovingly known as Chelo, my husband has a niece
Consuelo and she's mostly known as Chelo or Chela.

My oldest sister's name is Liduvina. Her kindergarten teacher couldn't
pronounce her name and began to call her Lucy, she's been Lucy ever since
kindergarten and although she wants to take back her name of Liduvina, it's
too late, the whole world knows her as Lucy.

Nicknames aren't always shortened, sometimes they are

Actually, I acquired the nickname of "Connie" when I was very young...not really sure where that particular name came from (born & grew up in 99% Anglo community)? When I was 25, I was determined to be called by my real name (since I had negative associations with "Connie", for a number of reasons). After a few years, I was able to get my immediate family members to switch over...even my parents! However...to this day, I have some cousins & childhood friends who still call me by that old nickname! Some habits are just difficult to erase....SIGH!

Josefina comes from Josepha. Chepa is short for Josepha. I have a cousin named Joseph and he is called Che. Chepa is the feminine version of Che.

Those are Hypocorism, Chepina is from Josefina, Chepa like Pepa are from Josepha or Josefa, Chepe like Pepe are from José, Josef or Joseph.

It seems like they don't give parents names for most of these records, but in this one they do mention the father of the bride. I think it says:
"Da. Ma. Dolores Valenzuela hija legma. del difto. D. Jph. Grego. Valenzuela con el Soldo. de esta compa. Juan Almirante. Fueron testigos ....",
Without abbreviations:
"Doña Maria Dolores Valenzuela hija legitima del difunto Don Joseph Gregorio Valenzuela con el soldado de esta compañía Juan Almirante. Fueron testigos ....".

For me it is difficult to read but it seems the only name I could decipher is hija legitima de Joseph Gregorio Valenzuela con -(Sec'do) del Santisima Concepcion Juan Almirano. - not quite sure what this means.

But in the beginning it names those testigos, but it doesn't seem to name a mother or his parents to me.

Comentario

Hi,
Are you asking what it says in Spanish? If so it is saying
"Legitimate daughter of Joseph Gregoro Valenzuela (fathers name) with
(second) Santisima Conception Juan Almirano (name of what reads to be her
mother -her mother's name is long. Now i'm not 100% fluent in Spanish but I
hope this can help some. Maybe others can help as well. ☺

The (USA) colonies did not have slavery until three indentured servants decided to run away. Of The three indentured servants, two were white and one was black. The three were caught and put on trial. The two white men had their time extended. The black man was punished more severely and was sentenced to be a slave for life. The black man was married to a white woman. Their grandchildren passed as white as they were only one fourth black. The descendants blended into white families. This first slave is an ancestor to Obamas white mother. So The first Black president of the USA descended through his white mother's side from the first black slave here in the colonies that became the USA.

Hello Katrina,

It’s funny that you mention this … my father always told us we were Espanoles … Boy what a surprise when I started to do genealogy research! And even more surprised when we did the DNA testing.

In answer to your question. I have had some luck in tracing back to Mulatos and Esclavos Negros. Unfortunately, they eventually end in roadblocks since at some point you end up with a couple that has no surname. Simply slaves that belonged to someone. No way to find out where they came from or even know if you are dealing with the same couple. Having said that, I was surprised at how far back some of these lines can be traced.

Maybe someone else can give you better information. Good luck.

This is very interesting that this came up because Ive been reading and going through records all day for information about slaves and slavery because im writing a paper about slavery in Mexico in a couple of weeks. in my own ancestors ive seen mulatos and mulatos libres but havent yet come across esclavos but im guessing if someone was a mulato libre at some point they were probly a mulato esclavo. Im trying to find that point and also document who the slaves and slave owners are to see if connections can be made to locate their ancestors. You mentioned that Senegal was the most common African DNA but I'm wondering if thats the most common in nueva galicia. I don't know because ive only been reading about it today. But I know that the early records in aguascalientes seem to show most Africans brought to Mexico we're from places like Angola and the Congo or places like Santo Tomé which are all in the south west of Africa.

Hi Katrina,

Do you have a tree or a list of ancestors that you're stuck on? It's possible that they've already been documented by members of the group. Also, I agree with Danny that, at least when their location is mentioned, that the first groups of slaves seem to be always mentioned from Angola, Terra Nova, Santo Tome and the Congo.

and Danny,

I'm glad to see you're incorporating genealogy into your coursework, I've done that too. Although, presently where I am in my studies I rarely have time for genealogy or anything else. And, regarding the differences, I'm not sure there are any differences that matter to the slaves. I think slavery in colonial Mexico was at times as brutal as it was in the US. I've enclosed some pdf's for you to review, the first one especially shows the brutality of slavery in Mexico. The only difference I can see between slavery in the southern US and slavery in Mexico would be cultural and religious. Cultural in the sense, that besides, being enslaved and

Comentario

I have seen evidence in Mexico that the child was given the status of the mother regardless of that of the father. I’ve seen many “testamentos” that list young slaves born from slave mothers. Since they were considered property, most documents state how the slave was acquired. Some even have detailed instructions on what is to become of the slave upon death of the owner.

However, I do believe that slavery was outlawed in Mexico before the US even thought about it. This was probably because there was a large enough native population that could be used as a labor force and did not need to import slaves.

Hi Angelina,

Hope you are well. As usual, you are correct, the condition of the mother always determines the condition of the child. If the mother is a slave, the child is always a slave and if the mother is free, the child is always free. That's a universal principle that dates back to Ancient Rome.

This is turning out to be an interesting subject.

I was thinking that the Northern African DNA could actually come from the Spaniards themselves. After all, parts of the Iberian Peninsula were under Moor control and … The Romans ventured into both the Iberian peninsula and Africa, they could also have brought in Northern Africans into the Spain.

My DNA showed both Northern and Southern African DNA. In my paper trail it was clear that lines in my mother’s family came from African Slaves I assume that would be Southern African. However, my father’s family were actually “Espanoles” with only one line that had indigenous blood and another that vaguely referred to “moriscos”. So where did the Northern African DNA come from?

Comentario

Well, maybe I misspoke. I believe technically what was outlawed was the importation of slaves. If memory serves, the native populations were pretty much considered property of the land owners. Therefore, while they were not importing black slaves a form of slavery did exist in Mexico for a very long time.

It should be a very interesting topic to research.

Good Luck.

Hola Katrina:

El apellido Rodríguez es muy común en México y otros países, hay muchas líneas. Yo he estudiado dos líneas:

Rodríguez de orígen portugués establecidos en México y dedicados al tráfico de esclavos de Cabo Verde (frente a Senegal).

Rodríguez ligados a la familia Ramírez de Coy en Huelva, zona de tráfico de esclavos en el siglo XVI, llevaron negros a sus minas y haciendas.

Podrías investigar un poco sobre la familia Rodríguez para saber si proviene de alguna de estas líneas.

I found that slaves were freed in 1824 and completely abolished in 1829 so it probly was started with independence but was that the reason for it ending or was there other reasons if anyone knows. was there an abolition movement like in America or did they just realize it was wrong and want to stop it before the other countries.

Hello everyone,

I'd like to add to this discussion. So my mother is a Torres from Michoacan, and growing up she'd always asserted her European lineage as she was a light skinned Mexican, so too was her mother.

About 2 years ago I got her ethnic composition done, and to our collective surprise she has 6% African from Nigeria and Cameroon, very close to Congo. She is also 7% East Asian and 7% Middle Eastern from Nigeria. Finally, 23% is Indian. Her European is 57%.

So I next tested her Mitochondrial DNA and that came back with her female line coming from a European Haplo Group - so it would turn out that all that mixing came from mother and fathers among her paternal lines.

I have not begun to dig that deep into the records but I would be thrilled to find out who these recent ancestors were.

Gil

Comentario

I believe Angelina is right that slavery was abolished in Mexico long
before the US, I think about the same time Mexico gained independence in
the 1820's. But, not sure about the reasons, but, guessing Angelina is
right about indigenous labor. In response to Gil, I also was very surprised
when I did my DNA a couple years back. It wasn't anything like I would've
expected. 100% of my ancestors are from Mexico and I felt my DNA
results didn't reflect that. My results were: 6% North African, 1% African
South Central Hunter Gatherers, 19% Native American, 6% East Asian, 23%
Iberian Peninsula, 11% Europe West, 11% Italy/Greece, 6% Great Britain, 3%
Scandinavia, 3% European Jewish, 3% Ireland and 8% Middle East. To me those
results don't seem very Mexican which I was a little disappointed by.
Although, I guess it reflects the diversity that exists in Mexico. I
suppose I was hoping for more Native and Spanish.

Paige

Comentario

Paige,

I believe your DNA tests are in line with European heritage. Spain has a rich history that explains all your markers. The Romans expanded through Spain into Africa opening the door to peoples from their entire empire. Jews spread throughout Europe. Goths were there even before the Romans. The Goths themselves were conquering bands of warriors that could have easily brought Asian DNA into the Iberian Peninsula. It really comes to no surprise the diversity of DNA that came to Mexico and mixed with the Native American population.

By the way, my DNA breakdown is almost exactly like yours. You have a little more Italian and a little less Jewish. What took me by surprise was the Scandinavian. It looks like our ancestors covered the whole world :)

-Angelina-

Comentario

Angelina,

I definitely agree that Mexican DNA is very diverse. Far more diverse than
I would've thought. But, something you said makes me wonder whether all
African DNA is from Mexican slavery. Something you said about the Moors
that conquered parts of Spain makes me question whether all African DNA
that shows up in Mexico is necessarily from slavery. Presumably, the Moors
carry some small amount of central and southern African DNA, I would guess.
Obviously, most of us have come across a record that indicates a person was
a mulato, so clearly some comes from Mexico, but, could it be that some of
our African DNA actually originates in Spain and not Mexico. Has there been
any studies that show whether the Spanish from Spain carry any small amount
of African DNA?

Hi Paige,

I thought about this too and am not familiar enough to know exactly how
far back in time these ethnic origins tests really go. I was under the impression
these test were like a big sonar blast that showed the impression of no more than
8 generations back of DNA info from the specific person being tested. While I have
not identified who my mother's founding family were in Mexico, on my Topete line we've been in Mexico for 10 generations, I am assuming 10 generations on my mothers family so it
had been my assumption that her DNA Ethnic Origins was a snap shot of cumulative
DNA from no more than 8-10 generations. Happy to hear if anyone else has a better understanding of the ethnic test.

Hi Gil,

I don't know myself. I thought it went back farther but I'm not an expert
in DNA. But as an example I have 3% Irish and my tree on all sides goes
back into Mexico at least 200 years and usually much more than that. And, I
haven't yet come across an O'Reilly among my ancestors so I assume it's
picking up ancient Iberian Celtic DNA. I'm also questioning the
percentages. For instance, I'm only 1% sub-Saharan African and I've come
across lots of mulatos in my records. Either some of them were mislabeled
or I'm more African than that.

All of the DNA companies have a different reference database to compare customers' DNA to and they also use different methodologies in creating their calculators which in turn creates many different results even for the same person getting tested at all three companies. All of that is different from what the geneticists use for the studies that they publish which I will get into later. The different companies will also state how far back in time the test is reporting the ethnicity from but that timeframe is just a general estimate and not a definite timeframe.

I can tell which company a person has tested with based on the names of the categories or ethnic groups and I can tell that Paige tested with AncestryDNA because of the Italy/Greece category and the British being separated from Irish. At 23andme the results would be different and there would not be any Greek because they call it Balkan and that does not show up in Spaniards or Mexicans. If she were to get any Italian it would

Hi Armando,

Yes! It was an AncestryDNA test. In your opinion, if I've already taken Ancestry do you recommend taking another one at 23andme or maybe take all three? Is there any benefit? Just curious. Also, is there some type of conversion from one test to another, such as, if I have a certain amount of Italy/Greek and 23andme doesn't have Greek, would it just show up as more Iberian? And, thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us. Unfortunately, I know nothing about DNA.

Paige

Comentario

Hello Paige,

I do recommend getting another test with 23andme. The Italy/Greek will show up as more Iberian, Broadly Southern European, and some Italian but as I had posted before that small amount of Italian is found in many Spaniards. I think that it is beneficial to see a more accurate breakdown of the ethnicity. That way it doesn't cause people to think that they have a recent Italian ancestor like two posters at http://www.nuestrosranchos.org/es/node/23548 and http://www.nuestrosranchos.org/es/node/23733

Recently a person from Mexico that had 27% Italy/Greece and only 12% Iberian Peninsula on AncestryDNA got 28.4% Iberian, 24% Broadly Southern European, and 2.4% Italian. The 23andme results are much more in line with documented ancestry of Mexico. The difference in total African ancestry was only 3.3% with 7% at Ancestry and 3.7% at 23andme. I mentioned that since this thread is for the African ancestry.

He said Family Tree does not provide that INFO but that the whole world would have to be tested to know that.

Hello Simona,

The mtDNA test results can be confusing for some people since there is so much info in the learning center and elsewhere about mtDNA. The numbers on the left with 0, 1, 2, 3 are the Genetic Distance. A 0 means that it is an exact match without any additional mutations in yourself or your match. Most of the time a GD of 1 more means that the match is not from a genealogical timeframe but there seems to be a problem with the reporting system right now and I have found new mutations in lineages less than 500 years old when multiple people with the same ancestor have tested which means that a GD of 1 can be genealogically relevant.

What is your haplogroup? I can try to be of more assistance if you can provide me with that. There are sites such as http://www.ianlogan.co.uk/sequences_by_group/haplogroup_select.htm or studies such as the one at https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3322232/ that have information that FTDNA helpdesk isn't going to spend time pointing

Hi Paige,
Re the Irish DNA, that could be the case. Conversely, Re the African DNA, you need to remember that you only inherit 50% of each parent's DNA. One of you siblings might have more African DNA than you, if you know what I mean. What you have is no contradictory information.

One of my Mexican ancestresses, Juliana del Carmen Villavicencio, (isn't that a beautiful name?) is labeled a mestiza on her birth entry kept by the Roman Catholic Church in Jerez, Zacatecas. I would have no reason to question it except that, according to Record 947, p. 173, of the Sagrada Mitra by Luz Montejano Hilton, a dispensation of the third level of consanguity in her parents marriage information states that Cristobal Villavicencio, Spanish gentleman of 24 years, etc., and Phelipa Gertrudis de Chavez, Spanish lady of more than 30 years, etc. If her parents and ancestors are Spanish why was their daughter, Juliana del Carmen, labeled a mestiza?

Hello M Vallanzzo. What you described happens a lot. Remember that “Espanol” doesn’t mean that they have only Iberian Peninsula DNA. Often, the mother was not present at the baptism because it was believed she had to be bedridden for x amount of time and they felt it was critical to have the child baptized as soon as possible just in case it fell ill and passed away. Therefore, one theory is that the priests/scribes depended more on visual assessment of the child when they wrote down the ethnicity of child. With the rich DNA history of Spain, it is obvious that some children may be darker or more ethnic looking than others.

The other more simple explanation should be scribe error.

Regardless of which makes more sense to you. It is very common to find theses contradictory documents.

On that picture with the Africans and Europeans and Native Mexicans is the
numbers on the left where it goes from 0.0 up to 1.0 does 1.0 mean 100%?
like if im looking at the small amout of green in Europeans which is less
than 0.2 is that mean their African is under 2% African or under 0.2%
african?

and on the picture with the Native Mexicans they also have a small amount
of green. since the native Mexicans have some green and they have no
contact with africans does that mean everybody has some amount of African
in them.

and if someone was 50% Spanish and 50% Native American is there some dna
company that tells you for your spanish how much Basque or Galicia or
Andalucia and for Native tells you how much Mayan or huichol or other
tribes.

Hello Danny,

Yes, 1.0 means 100%. The small amount of green in Europeans which is less
than 0.2 means that their African is under 20% African. It's actually less than half of the portion between 0.0 and 0.2 so they have less than 10%. The top graphs depict each population broken up into 3 colors depicting ancestries. The bottom graph show them broken up in to 9 colors or 9 ancestries. The bottom graph of the Europeans only shows 3 colors (red, maroon, and green) depicting 3 ancestries because that is all the program, called ADMIXTURE, could detect out of the 9 colors (ancestries) but it reduced the green a little. It also reduced it a bit in the Native Mexicans and the Cosmopolitan samples.

Native Mexicans did have contact with Africans in post-Colombian times and that is why there is African in the Native Mexicans. It is higher in the Native Mexicans from Quintana Roo but since it is next to Belize and close to the Caribbean that isn't surprising. The Cosmopolitan Mexicans from

It also gave some interesting clues re: my g8's, Felipe Gaytan and Anna de Castaneda y Loaysa (parents of Jusepe Gaytan, mentioned by Simona, and married to Maria Blanca de Ruelas); RMB gives him the name Felipe Gaytan de Ayala, which is new to me (none of his descendants would use "Ayala," as far as I know), and which links him to that dynasty in Toledo, Spain.

Hola prim@s,

I believe I just found a piece of the puzzle connecting these two dynasties:

This is the 4 Jul 1679 IM for Jacinto Joseph Diaz and Maria de San Juan Gaitan, married in Sagrario, SLP:
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939L-8C1Z-S?i=621&wc=3NTX-7M3

Maria de San Juan was daughter of Jusepe Gaytan and Maria Blanca de Ruelas.

The first two testigos were Joseph Martin de las Ruelas (30) and Juan Martin (20). I believe they are sons of Joseph Martin de Sotomayor and Anna Vicente Diaz. According to their statements, Joseph and Juan Martin were cousins at 3o degrees with Maria de San Juan Gaitan, establishing a blood link between the Martin de Ruelas and the Gomez de Ruelas (finally!).

From the 1748 IM of Juan Antonio Gaitan and Maria Manuela Muñoz, we know that Maria Blanca de Ruelas was daughter of Gonzalo Gomez, who was son of Blas Nieto; from what we know of the Martin Camacho de Sotomayor, the relationship would look like this:

Maria Ruelas -1-Blas Nieto

Hola Prim@s,

Since everything was posted over time (and among the clutter of my theories!), I'll summarize how this relationship is established in a few paragraphs:

In the 9 Jun 1712 dispensa for Nicolas Castañeda cc Maria Gomez, Blas Nieto is named as brother of Jacinta de Sotomayor, and great-grandfather of the bride:
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-XW39-LV?i=489&wc=3J4Z-2NL

Jacinta de Sotomayor-1-Blas Nieto
Nicolas Castañeda-2-Juan Gomez Nieto
Antonio Castañeda-3-Matias Gomez de Sotomayor
Nicolas Castañeda-4-Maria Gomez y Ruiz

In the 15 Jun 1748 IM for Juan Antonio Gaitan cc Maria Manuela Muñoz, we learn that Juan Gomez Nieto aka Juan Gomez de las Ruelas, has a brother named Gonzalo Gomez, who had a daughter named Maria Gomez de las Ruelas (aka Maria Blanca), who married into the Gaytan de Ayala family, of SLP:
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939N-BPDG-3?i=572&wc=3PS9-166

(Tronco: Blas Nieto)
Gonzalo Gomez de Ruelas - 1 - Juan Gomez de Ruelas
Maria Blanca

Hi Manny,

I'm a little confused. My thought is similar to Danny's, I get the Jacinta and Maria relationship, but where does the Nieto fit in? I think all the theories have confused me. Or maybe just the similar names. I descend from Jacinta de Sotomayor, wife of Pedro de Castaneda. At one point, I thought you suggested that she's the daughter of Andres Martin and Maria de las Ruelas, am I reading that right? Or is she a different Jacinta de Sotomayor than the one that is the sister of Maria de las Ruelas, because I thought you mentioned that she's the daughter of Gonzalo Gomez de las Ruelas? And, where does the Nieto come from? I'm confused. Help!

Also, you mentioned that the Castaneda line is well documented, but, I don't have anyone beyond Pedro Castaneda? Do you have his ancestry? And, who are the parents of Jacinta? Sorry Manny.

Hi Paige,

I’m sorry, I don’t understand the question, “why Nieto”? Blas Nieto is mentioned on the Nicolas Castaneda/Maria Gomez dispensa, as brother of Jacinta de Sotomayor. I included a link to the actual document, look at the first page, right image, last 4 lines.

When I said the Castaneda were well-documented, again, I’m sorry, I meant their descendants. I don’t descend from them, but I’ve seen them in Wikitree and discussed in these forums. I don’t know Pedro Castaneda’s origin.

Saludos!

Comentario

Hi Manny,

Sorry, I was unclear. I meant at one point you say that Jacinta is the daughter of Andres Martin and Maria de las Ruelas, so, does that mean that Blas Nieto is the son of Andres Martin and Maria de las Ruelas or are Blas and Jacinta the children of Gonzalo Gomez de las Ruelas?

Paige

Comentario

Hi Paige,

We can forget the earlier theories I posted, just pay attention to the above Aug 30 summary:

1. Jacinta de Sotomayor (m. Pedro Castaneda) is sister of Blas Nieto; we still don't know who their parents are (nor who is wife is).

2. Gonzalo Gomez de Ruelas and Juan Gomez de Ruelas (aka Juan Gomez Nieto) were sons of Blas Nieto. The Gaitan descend from Gonzalo Gomez, and the Gomez de Ruelas y Sotomayor, from Juan Gomez.

3. Maria de San Juan Gaitan was granddaughter of Gonzalo Gomez and great-granddaughter of Blas Nieto; her IM names her as 2nd cousin of Joseph and Juan Martin de Ruelas, who we know are sons of Joseph Martin de Sotomayor, who in turn was son of Andres Martin and Maria de las Ruelas. This links Maria de las Ruelas and Blas Nieto, as shown in the diagram #3.

Thus, Jacinta de Sotomayor (m. Pedro Castaneda), Blas Nieto, and Maria de las Ruelas (m. Andres Martin) are siblings.

Andres Martin and Maria de las Ruelas had a daughter, also named Jacinta de Sotomayor

Manny,

I agree this is great research. i was kinda confused by the earlier stuff to but now i see the connection. this Nieto is really an important piece of the puzzle to the early families. now we know that one these Ruelas y Sotomayor married a Nieto. also the Ruelas and Sotomayor must be more important people since they passed that on more than nieto. plus dont we kinda know that the nieto ancestor is a guy since Blas uses Nieto and the girls use Ruelas and Sotomayor, and since Blas's kids use Gomez + Ruelas, dont we kinda know that Blas's wife is somebody Gomez?

Danny C. Alonso

Comentario

Danny,

That is super intuitive of you - you’re getting the hang of these shell-game naming practices! I was thinking the same: that “Ruelas” and “Sotomayor” are matrilineal, since they’re used by female descendants, regardless of paternal surname. “Nieto” is likely a paternal surname, and we still don’t know where “Gomez” comes from, since we still don’t know the name of Blas Nieto’s wife (though, she’s likely Beatriz Lopez, with whom baptized a child in Pinos, in 1626).

Saludos!
Manny Diez Hermosillo

Comentario

Hola prim@s,

I believe I have finally found the name of Blas Nieto's wife. This is the marriage record of Santiago Ruiz Collantes and Luisa Gomez de Sotomayor, 27 Dec 1662, Sagrario, SLP. She was daughter of BLAS GOMEZ NIETO and MARGARITA DE LAS ROELAS, vecinos de San Luis, ya difuntos. bottom left:
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GGLC-3NQ?mode=g&i=111&cc=1…

There is little doubt in my mind that this is Blas Nieto, father of Gonzalo Gomez and Juan Gomez Nieto. This would change what we thought about his relationship to Jacinta de Sotomayor (and Maria de las Ruelas): he wasn't their brother, he was their cuñado! The relationship is obviously through his wife, Margarita de las Ruelas, who would be sister of Jacinta de Sotomayor and Maria de las Ruelas!

Saludos!

Excellent work Manny..I thought the Nieto surname kind of stuck out. This is the second time in the past two years that a nuestrosranchos member has figured out that a brother was actually a brother in law. I am going to go back with a more critical eye in my records to see if I have more brothers that Could be Brother in laws.

Nor does Gonzalo Gomez de las Ruelas exist! The only reference we have on him is the 15 Jun 1748 IM for Juan Antonio Gaitan and Maria Manuela Munoz, which names him as brother of Juan Gomez Nieto, and father of Maria Blanca de las Ruelas. The tree given looks like this:

TRONCO Blas Gomez Nieto cc Margarita de las Ruelas
Gonzalo Gomez-1-Juan Gomez
Maria Blanca-2-Blas Gomez
Miguel Gaitan-3-Nicolas Gomez
Francisco Xavier Gaytan-4-Maria Dolores Gomez
Juan Antonio Gaitan-5-Maria Manuela Munoz

I've already established that Luisa Gomez de Sotomayor was daughter of Blas Gomez Nieto cc Margarita de las Ruelas. Luisa Gomez had a lot of litigation over her child's inheritance. On 28 Jul 1681, she presented as one of her witnesses, Jusepe Gaytan, husband of Maria Blanca de las Ruelas. At the beginning of his testimony, he identifies himself as "cuñado de Luisa Gomez de Sotomayor." Hence, Maria Blanca is Luisa's sister and NOT her niece, and therefore daughter of Blas Gomez Nieto and Margarita

Hi Danny,

That's a very good question, and one that others have asked. Pedro Nieto is of the "Nieto Corona" clan, which starts with his parents, Pedro Nieto "El Viejo" (b. 1593) and Josefa Corona, both who lived in Pinos. Another clan that used "Nieto" was the Nieto Telles (or Tellez). I've been looking for links, but I've found none.

By the way, if you descend from Pedro Nieto El Mozo, he appears as a witness on numerous IMs in Pinos during the 1660s. You get his age & autograph (his father is the testigo to the left):

Manny,

is the Tello and Telles family the same? cause the genealogist Javier Sanchiz connects the Tello family to Pedro Nieto.

http://gw.geneanet.org/sanchiz?lang=en&p=pedro&n=nieto+tello

My first Nieto is Pedro Nieto Corona who's married to Magdalena Michaela López de la Cerda. He's the Grandson of the Pedro Nieto that's married to Nicolas de Castaneda's daughter.

Comentario

Hi Danny,

That, I wouldn't know. "Telles" (also "Tellez") might be another spelling for "Tello," but it's probably the patronymic. Spanish names that end in "-ez" are usually patronymic, meaning that they denote paternity, i.e., "son of." So, "Sanchez" means "Son of Sancho," "Martinez" means "son of Martin," etc.

Saludos!
Manny Diez Hermosillo

Comentario

Thanks Manny this is good information. That makes me think they might be connected though cause Martin and Martinez seems to be used by the same people like the Martin de Sotomayors and Martinez de Sotomayors

Hello Joseph, I stem out from two branches from Antonio Miramontes, and Maria Teresa Munoz.

I also have a record for their daughter, Juana Maria Miramontes, born 27 Sep 1715 - married to Francisco (Carlos?) Godoy 14 Feb 1734 - film 443968 M607139 - which shows his parents as Francisco Godoy and Maria Rosa Llamas.

A few years ago, when I encountered the "Carlos de Godoy" line, I was quite confused, as sometimes the name was written as Carlos, Carlos de Godoy (Godi) or just Godoy. I actually discontinued researching the line for awhile, then I was told by a fellow researcher that they were one in the same.
(quen sabe?)
I have on long term, film 443968 - M607139. Which includes both marriages for Francisco Godoy, I would be happy to look at the documents for you, to see how the name is actually written.

John,

Back to our favorite subject, the marriage of Diego Alonso de Hermosillo.
Did you get a photocopy of the marriage records from the church in
Teocaltiche? If this Diego is the same who married 1) Luisa Muñoz de Nava
and 2) Juana de Alderete y Padilla, the priest who married him the second
time should have mentioned that he was a widower. That was standard
procedure in the mid-1600s. That leads me to believe that the Diego who
married Juana de Alderete y Padilla was his son born ca. 1646. He would
have been 24 years old. Any chance you could scan these two marriage
records and email them to us?

Thanks,
Bill Figueroa

Hi Bill:

Bad news, I went to the Notaría in the Church in Teocaltiche, hoping that I
would be allowed to look at books and maybe get some pictures of the
records in them, but that didn't happen. The policy is not to allow anybody
to handle the books, they are in very poor condition and they probably
couldn't stand up to the rough handling or abuse. I was not even allowed to
take pictures of the records. My wife's family lives in Teocaltiche and
they know the person in charge of the Notaría, but they were not about to
make an exception. I Understand the church's position and reason for the
policy, the books are hundreds of years old and they are priceless.

I can send you a copy of the certified certificate, but it is not a
photocopy from the original record, it is a transcription of it, and I have
already sent you that information. I was told that it was the only
information found in the original records. I felt very frustrated, hoping
that I would find a lot more

Thanks for the information, John. I guess the two transcriptions were taken
"verbatim" from the original records. I understand why so many catholic
churches have banned the general public from accessing their records. They
are fragile, easy to damage and indeed priceless. I feel very lucky to be
able to do my research at a nearby FHC. The Church of Latter Day Saints of
Jesus Christ has done a great service to humanity by copying millions of
church and civil records and preserving them for future generations.

I would appreciate it if you could scan the two records from the Church in
Teocaltiche and email them directly to my email address. I will continue to
research this family and will let you know if anything else comes up.

A Libro Reservado is a "hidden book". Sometimes for some reason people had to get married before a priest, but in secret (as in Romeo & Juliet), an their children had to be baptized also in secret. In those cases all the details regarding groom & bride or parents were written in these secret books.

I don't know if any of those books were microfilmed. The closest I've seen are the microfilms of marriages in the 1920's when the Mexican churches were closed and the ceremonies were preformed in houses.

who gave birth and the biological father would be protected from future liabilities. Once I find that article, I will post the location of the information.

I'd certainly be interested.  Does anyone know what years are covered and what cities and/or states?   Thanks so much.  Alice BB

Quien fue Pedro Gutierrez de Hermosillo?

Se dice que Pedro Gutierrez de Hermosillo fue hijo natural de Juan Gonzales de Hermosillo II y una hermana de su esposa legitima, Ana Gonzales Florida II. Sera cierto?

Hola Josie,
Hace tiempo investigué a este personaje: https://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Guti%C3%A9rrez%20de%20Hermosillo-Des…
Tuvo al menos otros dos hijos: Pedro y Cristóbal. Cristóbal también era conocido como Cristóbal Muñoz de Hermosillo.
Me llama la atención que en la Dispensa #3 todos los declarantes mencionan que Melchor y Pedro eran hermanos "legitimos".
Espero esta información te sea de utilidad, aunque a mi también me deja mas dudas que respuestas.
Un cordial saludo.

Hola Ruben,

Gracias por el link, muy detallado. Sabes, hace unas semanas lei una dispensa que mencionaba a Cristobal y a Pedro como hijos de Pedro Gutierrez, pero no estaba segura que fuera el mismo que yo estaba estudiando. Si mal no recuerdo, la dispensa decía que en su matrimonio Pedro había tenido a Cristobal y a Pedro… quizás los tuvo con Leonor de Hijar.

Hace unos días me encontré otra dispensa que da como hijos de Pedro a Jose y a Rosa. A Jose ya lo tenemos pero a Rosa no la tenia en mi árbol. Aquí van los datos:

Dispensa de Vicente Mercado y M Antonia Xaure (Yahualica, 23 Agosto 1800)

Tronco
Pedro Gutierrez

Rosa Gutierrez (hermanos) Jose Gutierrez
Nicolas Bargas (primos hermanos) Elvira Gutierrez [m Miguel de Mercado]
Ana Bargas (primos segundos) Miguel Mercado
Antonia Xaure (primos terceros) Vicente Mercado

Aquí esta el link https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-6L7T-R?mode=g&i=52&wc=3J43…

Gracias por contestar

i had a question about this family. it looks like theres a ilegitimate child born at the beginning of this thread and was wondering if anyone out there is aware of other ilegitimate children born from other Gonzalez de Hermosillos in the middle 1600s. i have a Juan Gonzalez married to a Catarina Barrera both born probably around 1650 in aguascalientes. theyre the parents of my ancestor Blas Gonzalez: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-6XGS-2WT normaly i wouldn't think theeres a connection but some of Blas Gonzalez's children and grandchildren use the Gonzalez de Hermosillo name, so im thinking they;res a connection but because my mine are mestizos im guessing its from a ilegitmate child with an India. anything that someone knows would be good. Thank you.

Perdon, olvide dar mi nombre, Josie Plascencia (Leon is mi apellido de casada)… ademas los arboles no salieron bien (how I intended), espero los puedan entender. Soy nueva y tengo mucho que aprender.

Aunque Gutierrez no es mi linea directa estoy muy interesada en aprender lo mas que pueda referente a Pedro Gutierrez ya que desciendo de sus hijos Miguel, Jose y Maria por varias lineas del lado de mi papa igual que de mi mama.

Mi linea directa me ha llevado a Pedro de Placencia casado con Melchora de los Reyes de Sandoval “La Moza”. La linea de mi mama (o sea de mi abuelo materno) me ha llevado a Francisco Gonzales de Robalcaba casado con Maria Gutierrez de Hermosillo en segundas nupcias o mas bien a los Padres de Francisco, Mateo de Robalcaba y Catharina de Sandoval.

Puse estas lineas en “hold” para estudiar a Pedro Gutierrez ya que su desendencia esta entrelazada multiples veces con los Placencia y los Rubalcava.

Saludos,
Josie Plascencia

PAF will run on Windows 10. Charting Companion reads the PAF file and can generate charts and reports. Roots Magic Essentials is a free download that lets you try out Roots Magic before buying it.

Roots Magic will incorporate the Windows PAF file directly. The Apple MAc version needs to be converted; use the FR convert program (part of the Mac PAF package).

PAF can export your data as a gedcom file, at which point it can be imported into any number of other genealogy programs. Ancestral Quest and Legacy are a couple of options.

There are some online database programs.One I like, Geneanet, has both a free and paid version. The reporting functions are quite good. You can import a gedcom.

The Family History Centers will have one or more genealogy programs that you can try out.

Kristine:

The book is certainly available for sale. There is a PDF of the name index in my folder on Nuestros Ranchos and you can purchase the printed book either through George Farias' Borderlands Books... I just sent him some more copies so he should have some even if his site says he is out of stock...

Or you can order directly from the printer:

How have you connected Sebastian Padron (husband of Francisca Gonzalez) as being the brother of Bartolome Padron (husband of Maria del Castillo)?

Comentario

While on Ancestry family trees have Bartholome and Sebastian as Father and Son. I disagree because the timeline is not right. Others have the Parents of Bartholome with parents born in 1575 while this may be possible it just does not seems right to me.

Here are my beliefs based only on what I have found so it is circumstantial.

*Bartholome Padron b: abt 1632 m:abt 1651 + Maria del Castillo b. abt 1635 (Mestizos sometimes Espanol)had 13 children found, birth range is from 1652 – 1675 (there are 3 Marias de Patron with 2 w/different birthdates and the 3rd Maria is married and could not be the any of the other Marias.

The first Child listed is Ysabel b. 1652 born in Santa Maria Del Rio, San Luis Potosi, Mexico

The following children are listed because they were born other than Santa Maria Del Rio, SLP, Mx.

Ygnacio b.1658 baptismal was in Villa de Reyes with a wealth of information of who his parents worked for and lived at this time.
