The record you want is at image 352 in this volume. The parents of the couple are Juan Jose Ruiz and Maria Francisca Perez, and Vicente Ysaguirre and Maria Victoria de la Cruz.

There seems to be at least two groups of records for this church. The section with your record goes to image 390 (left side is 1801), and the right side restarts in 1766.

If the record does not appear where you expect it, you may need to scan through the whole volume to see how the book/film is laid out. Some times there will be records for different chapels bound together in one volume. Sometimes, the volume will be in poor condition, and the pages are just mixed up.

Esteemed genealogist Tony Campos passed away today, November 18, 2016. His primary genealogical focus was in the State of Michoacan.

Genealogy Research in Mexico

The number of people researching their roots in Mexico is ever growing. What I wonder is, do people who were born in Mexico and still live there have any interest in genealogy.

I began asking questions of my relatives in Mexico more than 30 years ago, but did not write it down. 10 years later, realizing most of my maternal line had ceased to be, I started asking questions and writing it down. Mom had the most amazing memory, along with my Aunt who traveled extensively between California, San Antonio and Mexico City where she had contact with extended 2nd cousins. Everyone of my cousins were gracious and had a great interest in the knowledge collected. Even an Aunt whom I had never met and did not seem very interested, sent me a picture of our great grandmother no one had ever seen and her shawl still in its original box. I can tell you I did not think there was any way to find out anymore than what I was told and so the years went by and my relatives would ask where are the results but I really didn't have much. They stopped asking. I finally found time to enter info on ancestry and send access to all my cousins of their family and my progress which they

Victoriano and Sarod,

How interesting to read about your experiences. Many Americans of Mexican descent have the same problems with some of their families not showing much interest. It would be great to be able to spread the word and show people in Mexico that resources such as Familysearch are available free of cost. And course, there is always this forum for people to reach out to make connections though I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.
Gloria

Comentario

It's not that uncommon to have our families in Mexico be disinterested in
genealogy, one of the reasons may be that they have always been deeply
connected to their family and heritage, thus they don't feel the need to
find out about the past, they are more connected to their past than we are.
They most likely live it and hear about it every day. They know how things
were then, it's passed on through each generation.

Those of us who are more distant are more disconnected, thus the need to
reach back, to try and learn more about our roots. Having said that, even
here, there are many of our family members who don't care about their
history and genealogy..........this is a case of to each his own.

I believe my prima Alicia's description is very much true. Not only is it
apparent in genealogy research, but this phenomenon has been written about
in relation to religious ceremonies and other cultural events. One specific
example is how African descendants in Brazil kept their religious
ceremonies, music and dance so pure that very little to no change was
realized in these events over centuries. Their same peoples slowly changed
religious practices, music and dance back in Africa. Much of this
phenomenon is due to the longing people have of their homeland and wanting
to maintain a link to their heritage. On the other hand, I have found a few
relatives in Mexico extremely excited about genealogy. Some of their
acquaintances have reached out to me so that I can help them with their
genealogy.

As I’m thinking about it, you also see a huge interest in mariachi music in
the United States. So much so that mariachi conferences dating back to the
1970s have led to the adoption of mariachi

I'm a Mexican living in Mexico and I've met many people interested in genealogy. Many used to post in a genealogy group in Spanish, but little by little people left the group, including me. I know there is a genealogical society in Monterrey. I would search for Mexican genealogists living in Mexico in forums in Spanish.

I wanted to "find" something like Find a Grave as well; but instead I ended up having someone take pictures of every gravestone in a small town's cemetery. This was something of a foreign idea to my cousins out in Mexico and found it odd. That research help me make a few missing connections in my tree (and are considering adding it to the Find-A-Grave in the US; but dont know the privacy/permissions side of it).

They were also amazed and surprised at all the data/docs available for research, but they seemed to think it's out of their reach for usage (just didn't have enough time to train others). Perhaps just a comfort level with tech for some and the younger kids are just interested in Facebook connections.

As for the elders they have what I call "Spoken Genealogy" which is an oral history of ancestors and family lineage. I found some stories interesting and they ended up linking people that had no written records along with some stories to go with them.

Politics and history in genealogy
Submitted by R.A.Ricci on Sat, 2016-11-05 03:09.
Many of the first settlers were cutthroats. Many of the first settlers did some things that we descendants find very offensive. Many people, from the left and right, are going to be very offended by the actions of some of their ancestors.

Politics and history are a part of the study of genealogy. Though I consider myself a moderate, I present both "right" and "left" sides of my ancestry. In my chapters on my De la Torre Ledesma ancestry I present both sides at the same time in a very dramatic piece of history. I descend from the main characters on both sides of this World changing incident. I say world changing because even though the events of that day only had immediate consequences for Spain, the repercussions of that event were felt many years later as the Europeans spread out to the Americas. King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella would not have been on the throne if not for what happened that day in

I believe that Somos Primos is a valuable source of information but it does have a poor choice of words in this issue.

I can see why many people are offended by the statement: "As I view the brutality and devastation caused by Islamic inspired wars" because it implies that the terrorism that is being done is inspired by the Muslim religion when it is fanatics that are not in any sense spiritual that are waging this war. The terrorists are not following The Islamic faith. This statement is the type of statement that would come out of Trump's mouth.

Somos Primos was the first to make a political statement here so people responding to this outrageous statement should not be told to not respond to it. Nuestrosranchos can't expect a post of "Somos Primos" to make such an inappropriate statement and not expect someone to respond.

This is a repeat of when some members made inappropriate comments regarding Jews and then we were told to stop the discussion as it didn't have to do

Joseph,

I think Somos Primos is very informative and an excellent resource. I learn
so much about history and culture from Somos Primos, way more than I learn
from school or anywhere else. Just in the last few issues, I've learned
about Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, Gálvez, The American Revolution, new DNA
discoveries in Mexico, plus I learned about Repatriation, The Cristeros,
new saints and a bunch of stuff i didn't know about politics and
contributions to history. It's like I'm reading an entirely different
journal than some people. Plus, it's a link, No one says you have to click
on it. But, if you don't you're missing out on a lot of valuable
information.

Juana de Anda and Nicolas Macias Valadez may have been related as there is another branch of the family that used De Anda as a surname when the De Anda came from the maternal side.

Dear Gorge,

Your inquiry into Juan De Anda led to Armando providing much information on Catalina Rodriguez Salceded's ancestors. I have now added many generations of her ancestors to my family tree.

Thank you,
Rick A. Ricci

Comentario

George,

The Juan de Anda that is married to Catalina Rodriguez de Salcedo and is the son of Alonso Fernandez de Rueda and Ana de Anda Altamirano is the most likely candidate. He does not marry Catalina until he is about forty-two. Maria Ortega Espinosa may have been his first wife. If we could find juan and Catalina's marriage record we could check to see if it references a prior marriage. We can also check the marriage information records for all the children and grandchildren looking for clues.

Rick

Comentario

He can't be the Juan de Anda that married Catalina Rodriguez de Salcedo because in Jalostotitlan: Padrones Parroquiales Volumen 1: 1649, 1650 y 1670 (Spanish Edition)
by Sergio Gutierrez Link: https://amzn.com/1496120019 they are already a couple in the padrón of 1670. Then in the book Historia de nuestra señora de San Juan de los Lagos, y del culto de esta milagrosa imagen by Alberto Santoscoy January 1, 1903, which can be read for free at Google Books, the padrón of 1679 is included and they are mentioned again with the same slave named Pasquala. I know it is the correct Catalina because in 1670 she is mentioned with the surname Rodríguez de Lara, which is a reference to her Lara ancestry since she is a granddaughter of Cristóbal Vázquez de Lara who is a grandson of Elvira Gil de Lara, and in 1679 she is mentioned with the surname Rodríguez de Salcedo.

Juan de Anda and María de Ortega had children between 1659 and 1679 with three of them being born after 1670.

He can't be the Juan

Thank you very much for all this information. I think we can conclude that the line of Juan de Anda and Maria de Ortega ends at this point, and it remains unknown if he is connected to the Anda Altamirano family.

I appreciate the detail with the references.

Check the names of the padrinos in the baptismal records. You just might find a Fernandez de Rueda on one of the records.

Rick

Comentario

The Juan de Anda that is married to Catalina Rodriguez de Salcedo is the son of Alonso Fernandez de Rueda and Ana de Anda Altamirano.

This Juan de Anda Altamirano is baptized on 2/Aug/1636 and does not have many children in my records. He could have become a widower and remarried. Or he could have been married previously.

This Juan is from the same location as the one married to Maria Ortega y Espinosa.

This juan is married in about 1678 and because of his perceived birthdate he most likely had a previous marriage and his first wife could have been your Maria Ortega. Do you have a death record on Maria Ortega? Is Maria Ortega recorded as still being alive when her children marry? Ther are many records that need to be checked to look for more clues.

I do have another Juan de Anda in my records in that period of time and in that location. Both Juan de Andas are related. This Juan de Anda is uncle to the one above. He is married to Isabel Martinez de Alarcon.

I didn't find any additional clues in the marriage record. Check all the kids baptismal records for their padrinos and witnesses. There also may be dispensations that may identify who his parents are.

Dear George,

I looked at my records to look up the Juan De Anda that had taken his mother's surname. This Juan de Anda is married. But he does not have many children with this wife. Does the marriage record of Juan de Anda and Maria Ortega y Espinosa show that he was widowed? Can you send me the link or image number so that I may check out the marriage record? The surname that I was looking for is Fernandez or Hernandez.

Thanks,
Rick

Comentario

Dear George,

Some of the de Anda male members actually took the surname from their mother. I don't remember the details and need to look up many records to see if Juan was from this family. The time and location seems to fit though. Did any of their children use a different surname?

Juan de Anda and Maria de Ortega had a daughter that was also named Maria de Ortega. She married Bartolo de Salas in 1690 in Santa Maria de los Lagos.

And another daughter of Juan de Anda and Maria de Ortega Espinosa used the surname Espinoza. When I asked about a different surname I meant a surname other than de Anda, Ortega, or Espiniza.

This daughter is Josepha de Espinosa who married Miguel de Villalobos on 16 Sep 1680 in Lagos de Moreno. As far as I know the others used the surname de Anda.

this book says the population of Sayula was 47,360 in 1793 so it was probly

on page 115 it mentions Alonso de Avalos and the second wife. Was a connection every made to Sebastian de Avalos or any of the other Avalos? I lost track. Thanks.

This book looks good. Besides the Ávalos, there are lots of other people
mentioned that connect to our area like the Flores de la Torre, Villaseñor,

Right Wing Screeds

I tire of the right wing screed that is Somos Primos.

But first, let's talk about terrorism. It's not like the Muslims have a

Ridiculous statement "Islamic Inspired Wars"
Submitted by R.A.Ricci on Sat, 2016-11-05 03:48.
I believe that Somos Primos is a valuable source of information but it does have a poor choice of words in this issue.

I can see why many people are offended by the statement: "As I view the brutality and devastation caused by Islamic inspired wars" because it implies that the terrorism that is being done is inspired by the Muslim religion when it is fanatics that are not in any sense spiritual that are waging this war. The terrorists are not following The Islamic faith. This statement is the type of statement that would come out of Trump's mouth.

Somos Primos was the first to make a political statement here so people responding to this outrageous statement should not be told to not respond to it. Nuestrosranchos can't expect a post of "Somos Primos" to make such an inappropriate statement and not expect someone to respond.

This is a repeat of when some members made inappropriate comments

Comentario

Why is Islamic Inspired Wars ridiculous? Again, did I miss something? Were they Lutheran inspired wars? Presbyterian inspired wars? Perhaps the Methodists were the cause? The only ridiculous statement is suggesting that it's a ridiculous statement and of course the other ridiculous statement suggesting that white Christians are responsible for the majority of terror.

Paige

Comentario

Dear Paige,

I have a French ancestor who fought against heresy in France in the name of Catholicism. He committed a terrorist act when he locked the townspeople in the church they had all gathered in thinking that it was sacred land and that they would be safe. He burned the church down with everyone still in it. When someone said that many of the people in the church may have been true Catholics he responded by saying that God would judge their faith and if they were true Catholics then they would go to heaven.

This was an act of terrorism and not had nothing to do with what Christ preached. But according to your standards it would be appropriate to call this a Catholic inspired war. But I disagree. Just because a terrorist states that their inspiration is their religion that does not mean that the religion was the actual inspiration. Catholicism, Christianity, Islam and Judaism are not inspirations for terrorism. These religions do not condone terrorist acts.

Rick A. Ricci

Comentario

Well, yes in your example if someone commits an act of terror in the name of the Catholic Church, than that would be Catholic terror. I assume you must be an academic of some kind, and probably Laura too, since you both seem desperate to prove a point that is relatively unprovable. Sadly, in the case of Islam, I don't have to go back to the Dark Ages to prove my point. In fact, that seems to be the problem, while most religions have moved out of the Dark Ages, one seems most committed to staying.

Dear Paige,

You are correct in assuming that I am an "academic."
It is my hope that Mimi Lozano continues posting "Somos Primos" on this site as the political slants don't bother me. However, I do hope that Mimi Lozano understands that the words that are used could be taken as an attack on a religion and that has no place on a site dedicated to genealogical research.

I recommend everyone send their concern to Somos Primos and let them know your dissatisfaction with the way their newsletter is heading. I know I did. I let them know the magazine should remain a genealogy information newsletter without personal opinions about politics. I completely enjoy their very informative genealogy platform.

I think we can all agree that SP has been a good source of information at times.

What concerns me that a website dedicated to genealogical and historical research veers off into political and religious personal opinion so often.

Someone here wrote that this is a "free country" and that Mimi and her contributors can express themselves as they see fit....and that person was correct. But, then SP should not be presented as a research newsletter, but more of a blog or forum with the disclaimer that the entries are the personal opinions of she and her contributors.

The other thing that concerns me is that there is no sign of fact checking, nor is their counter point to some of the content.

Some on also wrote about not knowing enough about a subject ( Sharia Law in this case) to have what they considered an intelligent opinion. In this regard, maybe the one positive in all of this is that people will choose to learn more about certain subjects than to take the opinion of Somos Primos

Many of the first settlers were cutthroats. Many of the first settlers did some things that we descendants find very offensive. Many people, from the left and right, are going to be very offended by the actions of some of their ancestors.

Politics and history are a part of the study of genealogy. Though I consider myself a moderate, I present both "right" and "left" sides of my ancestry. In my chapters on my De la Torre Ledesma ancestry I present both sides at the same time in a very dramatic piece of history. I descend from the main characters on both sides of this World changing incident. I say world changing because even though the events of that day only had immediate consequences for Spain, the repercussions of that event were felt many years later as the Europeans spread out to the Americas. King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella would not have been on the throne if not for what happened that day in history. History was changed by an "Amiga", and a flip of a wrist.

Comentario

Joseph, I whole heartedly agree with you, but with all due respect, that is exactly the point.

Much of what is featured on Somos Primos has little if anything to do with genealogy or history, and what small percentage does seems to be lacking in historical validity.

I am very interested in a web publication that enriches my knowledge and understanding of our wonderful culture, but have no interest in weeding through someone's political opinions, religious fervor and social views to get a morsel.

You are completely correct, there are plenty of sites out there which would welcome the political, religious and social views expressed on Somos Primos, let's please stick to historical and genealogical research exclusively.

Until then...I'm no longer interested in receiving it.

Best,

Robert Gonzalez~

Laura,

It's not Joseph's newsletter, he only forwards what he receives from Somos
Primos. He's not responsible for Mimi Lozano's comments. I would say that
you should take it up with Mimi Lozano, the owner and publisher of Somos
Primos.

Just remember, it's free speech and it's her newsletter and she can publish
whatever she wants to publish in her newsletter, whether we like it or not
or whether we agree with it or not.

Marriage record of Juan Miguel Luna y Lopez and Ana Luisa Diaz 1792

Hello, I'm wondering if someone can help me read this marriage record. I am not yet able to read this type of writing well, especially the abbreviations.

Comentario

Dear Rayna,

After looking at many of the records on your ancestors I began to suspect that something was a little fishy. This morning, as soon as I got up, I put my hypothesis the test. It turns out that my hypothesis is correct.

It turns out that Juan Miguel Luna de Lopez's mother's name is Antonia Rosalia Lopez y Luna. Cayetano Lopez and Petrona Luna are the parents of Antonia (Antta) Rosalia Lopez y Luna. They are españoles. It seem that Antonia Rosalia gets together with someone that was not an español. She has a son that she names Juan Miguel Lopez de Luna. He is obviously born out of wedlock. On his marriage record she hides the fact that he was born out of wedlock and names her father as the father of Juan Miguel Luna y Lopez. She does give her name as the mother, not her mother's name.

So in other words, Juan Miguel Luna y Lopez, mestizo, has his dead maternal grandfather listed as his father on his marriage record. Here is the baptismal record for Antonia Lopez y

Comentario

Rick A. Ricci,
I have been going over one of your answers to my query about the Juan Miguel de Luna y Lopez marriage record. The one I’ve been looking over is the one regarding his father. I’m not sure what sparked your curiosity about that, but let’s see if the following is correct: 1) The baptismal records of his daughter, Maria Bicenta did not show grandparents, and I have not yet found the baptismal record of Jose Maria Lopez; 2) the baptismal record (which you found) of a son, Jose Mathias Leandro showed his paternal grandmother as Anna Rosalia Lopes; 3) the marriage record of Juan Miguel and Anna Luisa Diaz showed his father to be Calettano Lopes; 4) you then searched and found the baptismal record of Anna Rosalia Lopes which shows her father to be Calettano Lopes and her mother as Petrona de Luna; 5) that record confirmed to you that Juan Miguel’s father is not Calettano Lopes.
I found another daughter today, Maria Rafaela de Los Angeles Lopez and it shows the abuelos paternos

Dear Rayna,

Juan Miguel de Luna y Lopez is identified as mestizo in his marriage record. His mother's baptismal records clearly identify her and her parents as españoles.

Dear Rayna,

You are correct, the marriage record does name him as español and the parents named españoles, but that is his maternal grandfather and not his father. In another record I don't recall which, he is clearly identified as Mestizo. I would have to go back and research which record that was. His mother and maternal grandparents are españoles.

Plagiarism is a big problem. There are two parts to plagiarism. Plagiarism involves stealing the property of someone else, and then lying about it. This is fraud. A plagiarist shows a lack of respect for the work of another person while taking credit for the work.

Plagiarism is illegal. Plagiarism is stealing. I suggest you study the definition of plagiarism. I provided a definition from a dictionary in the following post:

http://www.nuestrosranchos.org/node/23651

Your "social lay of the land" cannot infringe on the rights of an author.. The researcher/writer is the one protected by copyright law, not the thief.

It is very easy to avoid plagiarism. Identify the author and his/her book/article. Give respect to the researcher providing the information. Genealogy is a lot of work. The researchers/authors should be given credit for thier work.

Comentario

everyone in this group does a lot of research and some people share their results but not where they found it so there is no way to make sure it's correct. The best of us do make mistakes.
I do share my research on Rootsweb.com and when I share a record I try to put the film number and page with the record so the reader can double check it.

I also know that there are professional researchers who have included some of my research in what they sell as a service, it's okay with me. Our goals are different. I want to help others to find and reclaim their history. For others it's a profession that is their income.

I try not to include records with no way to double check them UNLESS I have total confidence in the person sharing them with me or others.

I do have over 100,000 names in my files from 20 years of research in Zacatecas, Jalisco and Michoacan with a bit starting to spill over into Aguascalientes that I have not pursued yet.

I understand what Plagiarism is. I just had no Idea that people would post the research of others and not cite them, intentionally. What would they have to gain? I didn't understand, until I compared it with some of my own experiences in my business.

I have been in court successfully suing a few people who used my music in major television productions, and claiming authorship. So when I look at Genealogy research as being as valuable to the persons doing it, as the compositions of my music were to me, It makes total sense.

Thanks!. Still learning about stuff here. I just felt like I had wandered into a mine field, and got caught in the crossfire of some really hard feelings. Since I haven't claimed credit for anything, nor will I, (I barely know how to research this material, and if it was not for George Fulton I'd be absolutely nowhere in this entire thing) I am glad I asked!

Is it also a matter of accuracy? like knowing the work of one researcher from another?

Comentarios

Comentario

Cathy, my first suggestion is to use FamilySearch (if you haven't), and from there see how many Pablo Montano (Mantana, Montaño/a, Montañez, etc.) may fit with the time frame of your Grandpa, independently of the town of Juanacatlán, this is because the name is abundant and this specific town, like Ricci mentioned, doesn't has records of its own beyond the 1900's, plus there are quite a few towns cities where he could have been baptized. Even if he live there, there is no assurance that he and his family are in fact from that town.

I would also recommend to try to locate your Grandparents marriage record, (I am thinking they married in the USA, right?) and if you know Pablo's wife name would be of much help, I would think that the marriage record may have his parents names, finding his mother's would definitely provide better chances to ever find out about his origins.

Third, finding about his brother Hilarion, (could also be Hilario at some records) like marriage, kids, burial

Comentario

RJQ,

You are correct. There isn't much else that can be determined about the 11% Native American as far as which tribe or a small group of people from a specific region of Jalisco.

Here is what can be determined. If both of her mother's parents were Mexican/Hispanic/Latin American then their total combined Native American would have been about 44% and her mother about 22% and her 11%. If only her maternal grandfather was Mexican/Hispanic/Latin American then he was about 44% Native American. Ancestry does a much better job than FamilyTreeDNA myOrigins at identifying the Native American so in that respect it's a good thing she got an autosomal DNA test at Ancestry.

FamilyTreeDNA does have mtDNA tests though so if her direct maternal line is from Mexico she can get a test there and see which haplogroup it is and see if she has matches but it is extremely hard or close to impossible to find the common ancestor especially when the the mtDNA is Native American (A2,B2,C1,D1,X) or the

Greetings Fellow Genealogists -

My name is Daniel Meckley and I have recently joined the Nuestros Ranchos

my husband, Luis Alberto Suárez Paillas. Both families are from Jesús

Here is a link to the Civil Records for Jesus Maria, Aguascalientes that has birth certificates along with other civil records:

Looking for information on surname ORNELAS

Hello everyone.

this is exciting for me, a newbie to actually find people who talk about this stuff.

yes, I had heard that It was was a place near Lugo, Santa Comba de Fornelas is a parish and village in the municipality of Puebla del Brollon (A Pobra do Brollon), in the province of Lugo, Spain. (From wikipedia)
https://www.google.com/maps/place/27334+Fornelas,+Lugo,+Spain/@42.56501…

I researched as much as I could, including cold calling and having others call the auto body shop there, to find out more about the exact location (mechanics always seem to know something. At least in the detective movies they are good for info)

Over the years I have heard all the following meanings as well.
(Some of these come from the dreaded "Heraldly and coat of arms" sites that make up stuff all the time)

- From the ancient Roman (Latin) 'orne' meaning eagle
- From the Spanish word "Horno" indicating it

Hi,
According to Gutierre Tibon's book "Diccionario Etimologico Comparado de los Apellidos Espanoles, Hispanoamericanos y Filipinos", which I have in my modest library, he states that:

Ornelas: Fornelas, from the province of Lugo, latin fornus, "Horn".

Variations: Ornellas, Dornellas, D'Ornellas, Fornell, Fornellas, Fornells, Fornieles.

My 2 cents:
The Province of Lugo in North Western Spain (autonomous region of Galicia)is above Portugal buffered by the province of Orense, which borders Portugal.
The native language is Galician, a distant relative of Portuguese.
Being so close, people with this last name probably traveled back and forth from Lugo to Portugal.

I too descend from your great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather, Alvaro VI Albares de Ornellas y Hurtado de Mendosa
b. 1598 in Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco, Mexico. Can you provide sources as to his father and grandfather. I haven't studied this family in a long time and don't have my notes on this family in I front of me but would like to see source to Joao de Ornelas. B.1530.

Thanks,

R.A.Ricci

Apolinar's birthdate "around 1880" is inconsistent the stated baptism date. The baptismal date is typically a few days after the birth, sometimes the same day.

If the birthdate for Florencio is correct, he cannot be Apolinar's father. The baptismal record for Apolinar has been extracted at Family Search (there is a link to the image), however it gives the father as Ricardo Ornelas and grandfather as Eulogio Ornelas.

I checked the Family Search catalog for San Juan de los Lagos, and the baptisms up to the late 1880s have been extracted. Marriages, except for the first two films (up to 1795) , have also been extracted. In some cases the images are linked to the index.

The civil records for Mexico (after 1857) have generally been indexed (with linked images) at ancestry.com. You can use this at many public libraries, or at any Family History center.

OK. I did it an got Ancestry's "premium" global search service, and am looking above the family tree at the point where the time lines didn't match up as George Fulton pointed out.
Now I am at Eulogio Ornelas, and looking for his father and grandfather as well. I saw some hints that the surname was actually carried and passed down by one of my great grandmothers, as well.

I also considered that there might already be an existing family tree, that my line connects to at some point?
All hints and help appreciated.

Piero Ornelas.

The civil records, in principle, start in 1857; however, for many towns the first records start a little later. For the small towns, the starting dates are often later. Initially not all births, marriages, and deaths were recorded, so there will be gaps. You will have some people for which all the church records exist, and some not. Same with the civil records.

For example, your ancestor Ricardo Ornelas has a baptismal record, but he was born too soon for a civil birth record. He may have siblings in the civil birth records. You can search for them by searching with just the parents names. The baptismal record names parents, of course, and both the paternal and maternal grandparents.

The baptismal record will sometimes give the parents ages. Ages aren't always correct, but you can still estimate their year of birth.

I estimate Ricardo's father, Eulogio, was born about 1830, plus or minus a couple of years. From this estimate you can get an estimate for the marriage of Eulogio

Hi George.
No, as per your information I removed Florencio, and all of his suspected relatives, after getting your new information, and am researching the names Petra Macias, and Cipriano Ornelas. IN several of these records it states that the names are actually Cipriano Macias, and Petra Ornelas, with some having the last name for both of them, as Alviso.

Then to make things even more interesting, Eulogio's son's wife, has four separater spellings for her name. (Phew!) Ladislada Garcia, María Ladislar, and MA.Ladislao Garcia.
Still on the case.

do you do this professionally? I was considering getting someone more adept that this than I.

Thanks again.

I, like the majority of Nuestros Ranchos members, am not a professional genealogist, although I have been doing this for quite a number of years.

I am glad to provide whatever help I can through the website.

What you are seeing for your ancestor Maria Ladislada Garcia is not uncommon.

As you spend more time, and get more experience, the process will get easier. In my opinion, the results are more satisfying if you find your ancestors your self. Of course, if you life is very busy with work, or school, and family - the kids take a lot of time - it can be hard to devote the time you would like. While I have never hired a professional, I think it can be expensive. Perhaps someone in the forum has some experience in this regard.

Please feel free to pose any questions here, and we can try to help.

It's a little daunting for me, a bona fide dyslexic ADHD, who was dropped on his head as a baby. (lol)

I guess I am a little intimidated by the guesswork, as in this example:
http://person.ancestry.com/tree/104080020/person/120038945479/facts
There are two separate dates with a 9-year gap, which are both not as the baptism date for Eulogio Ornelas. which one do I pick?

I understand the satisfaction thing, but it could be a year before I really get this methodology, and I'd really just like to know who all my ancestors are, without getting migraines looking at this screen.

I am truly grateful for your help, and if you, or anyone, could easily or without any inconvenience to, figure out how far back my ancestors go and help me make sure my tree is accurate, I'd be eternally grateful, and send you a $100 yogurt rewards card. (Just kidding, but I'd definitely pay if it was needed)

Thanks again.

Hi. Been doing some sleuthing, and I got to cipraino ornelas, but establishing who he is and when he was born, is still a little tricky. Since His son, Eulogio was born in 1833, I postulated that his father would be in between 30 and 50, and so I looked for Cpiriano Ornelas" in the late 1700's. As is often the case whole looking through these records, I found two that were in many ways remarkably similar.
Jose Cipriano Ornelas #1 goo.gl/MuQOz3

b.4 jul. 1798. Baptism Place: Zapotlan El Grande,Ciudad Guzman,Jalisco,Mexico

Jose Cipriano Ornelas #2 goo.gl/d5V9SW

b. 26 sep. 1793. Baptism Place: Nochistlan,Zacatecas, Mexico
If you will please check the links, (they go to ancestry.com pages, but the original links were way too long) here is a classic example. Two separate "Ciprianos" born within ten years of one another both of whom had Fathers named Jose, and Mothers Named maria.

As a tip, when confronted with this kind of parallel, which one do you go with? I don't wnt to do what I

I sent you an email privately, but just in case you did not receive it, I am planning on going to the library this week and will check these two out.

In a case like this, we need something to tie the "right" Ciprinano to your line. People certainly did move around in this time period, but there are also families that stayed in the same place for generations. Similarity of names is actually a rather weak link.

While looking up Cipriano Ornelas, I found another person with this name: Jose Cipriano de la Trinidad Ornelas baptized 23 Sep 1799, in San Juan de los Lagos. What intrigued me about this record is that he was born in Paso Hondo, the town/rancho/hacienda that your Ornelas family is from. In addition to the parents, the record also named the grandparents, which typically did not start until a little later. His parents are Jose Regino Ornelas and Rosa Munoz. The grandparents are George de Ornelas and Manuela Olivares, and Ygnacio Munoz and Maria de la Sencion Marquez. FHL film 220649, image 427

I then found a marriage record for Cipriano Hornelas and Petra Macias 9 Feb 1831, San Juan de los Lagos. He was from
Paso Hondo. Parents are Regino Hornelas / Rosa Macias and Miguel Macias / Juana Maria Ramirez. FHL film 220710, image 196

Hornelas and Ornelas are the same name. Adding an H to words that are not spelled that way was not uncommon.

El Tule Aguascalientes

Could someone tell me what city or town I will find Christening records for people born in El Tule, Aguascalientes in 1892-1900?

Comentarios

Comentario

According to Pueblos America, this is a small community in the municipio of Asientos, so that is most likely where the records should be. Records could be out of order - since this is a separate town, the records could be separate from the other Asientos records. For this time period looking in the civil records should also be done.

Just in case the date you have is not correct, search a couple of years before and after your date.

If you do not find what you are looking for after a thorough search this may mean that the records were not microfilmed, or unfortunately were lost.

I found my grandfather. His name was Daniel Miguel Silva Reyes born in 1892 in El Tule, Asientos Aguascalientes. His father was Margarito Monreal Reyes - son of Cesario Reyes and Luz Monreal. His mother was Narcisa Silva - daughter of Benito Silva and Francisca Rodriguez. My great great grandfather is Guadalupe Reyes and my great great grandmother was Bictoriana Rosales. Also, Francisco Silva and Ysidra Sabala. My grandfather Miguel died in San Antonio, Texas in 1957. He had remarried Julia Ramos in the early twenties in Texas. My grandmother went on to marry Aniceto Villareal and settled in Dallas.

Comentario

As you have probably discovered by now, the extracted baptismal records typically stop in the early 1880s, although microfilms will sometimes be available until the 1960s at Family Search.

Ancestry.com has indexed civil records. Births often go into the 1940s, with marriages and deaths often going later. Images are linked to the indexes. Coverage varies by state in Mexico, with Aguascalientes typically being quite good. You can frequently the access Ancestry through your local public library, or can can access it at any Family History Center.

Now that I have found Daniel Miguel Silva Reyes I have a new puzzle to solve. His grand father was "Sesario Rosales Rosales" born in 1832 in El Sagrario, Aguascalientes. Both sets of Sesario's parents were "Rosales Vasquez". Sesario was born Rosales Rosales - his father was Raphael Rosales and Sesario was married as Rosales, BUT on all his children's birth records I found, he is Sesario "Reyes", listing his father as "Guadalupe Reyes" and his children therefore were Reyes including my father. I can't tell yet where Reyes came from. I know I have the correct Sesario on his marriage record and his children's birth records because his wife's name; Luz Monreal and her parents are exact and consistent. I don't know at this time where Reyes came from. It just begins to appear on the children's birth documents. On his wife's death record he uses Rosales, but on his own death record in Nava, he is listed as Reyes. I cannot find any records showing both names in union, only one or the other

Comentario

Hello, could someone help me read this civil birth record from Nava? I believe it to be my father's but.....I don't read Spanish very well. Is my grandmother Reynalda Rangel's name not listed or acknowledged on this document, or am I just missing it? We always believed my father's birthday to be Jan 7, 1918, but there was never clarity if he was born in Texas or Mexico. His father's name is correct, and his father's age is exact, but I have not seen a record listing only the father before. My father Benny had an older brother Jesus Reyes, and an older sister named Juana Reyes born in Matamoros. His 1919 crossover papers at age one says he was born in Nava in 1918, but other later records list his birth place as Taylor, Texas. His father is from Aguascalientes and his mother from Matamoros.
