Hello everyone,

I don't know if this is even possible but I was wondering if anyone would know how I could find out more information about a Grand Aunt/Great Aunt. Her name is/was Maria Nicolasa Aceves Lomeli. She was a Nun. She used to write letters to my older sister when we were little. They had a difference of opinions and stopped writing to each other. I would like to know if anyone can help finding more information on her and my Great grandmother (Aurelia Lomeli: last known address for her was Calle 10A-1871 Col. Ferrocarril S.R. Guadalajara Jalisco, Mexico 44440)
Last known address for Maria Nicolasa was Instituto Cabanas Mariano Otero 2145 Plaza del Sol Guadalajara Jalisco, Mexico 45050

Thank you for your time and help in this matter!

Hello,
I have only begun to read in Spanish since starting to trace my grandmothers decendents. I can anyone help translate this

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939N-Y39H-MG?cc=1804458&wc=3P9R… : 21 May 2014), Monte Escobedo > Monte Escobedo > Información matrimonial 1754-1772 > image 115 of 1033; paróquias Católicas, Zacatecas (Catholic Church parishes, Zacatecas)

I know there is more information here than i am able to decipher myself..

Can anyone recommend books that are written of the history of Ranchos, Churches, people, of Zacatecas and Jalisco?

Mi bisabuelo, Jesús Merced López, nacido el 24 Sep de 1873 era natural de Tepetiltique, Jalisco, pero avecinado en Mexticacán. De niña, mi amá recuerda que él siempre solía cantarle una canción que se llamaba "El Tilichero Aquel." Dice mi amá que fue uno de sus recuerdos favoritos de su abuelo. He intentado hallarlo por búsqueda de internet, pero sin éxito. Espero haya alguien aquí que ha escuchado o conoce esta canción. Me hubiera gustado presentarle a mi amá la letra o la canción misma para el Día de las Madres mañana pero temo que sea ya demasiado tarde.
Muchas gracias de antemano.

Atenguillo, Tepic, Jalisco produced a Padron in 1895.
Below is a list of Ranchos and Haciendas found in the Padron, itself contained within the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints file 1156284. Many church records contain location information for individuals mentioned therein. Here are some you will find.
I hope this information may be of use to members of Nuestros Ranchos.

I am interested to know where my great grandparents are buried. The name and location of the Cemetary. My great grandfather Justo Vidaurri (Vidaure) died in 1917 Rancho Tepusco Paso de Sotos(Villa Hildago) Jalisco, Mexico

Hi, I am new to the site and am researching the Mata, Cordero, Bravo, Sayabedra, Alvarez and Villalpando lineages.
I have researched my Mata lineage back to my 6th Great Grandfather, Juan Joseph Manuel Mata. I estimate his birth to be between 1745-1750. He married Anastacia Villalpando in Manuel Doblado or San Pedro Piedra Gorda in those days. She was born in 1749. Although the majority of their children were christened in Manuel Doblado the last 3 were christened in Arandas. The majority of my known Mata ancestors were from Arandas, San Jose De La Paz, Degollado and Jesus Maria. It appears that many people had farms or ranches in the highlands in those days and would travel to Manuel Doblado or other local cities for events.
Many of the birth and marriage records show origin references to San Rafael de Los Altos, La Comisaria de Carricillo, and San Rafael which might be the Guadalajara neighborhood. Unfortunately all my research at this point cannot give me a clue to definitively extend the line. In any case I am happy to be here and have been enlightened by the history of Jalisco and Mexico overall.
Any help is appreciated.

There is an dramatic change of last name on my ancestors... as I explain below:

1828- Florencio Cabuto & Damiana Lopez, Married June 25- Etzatlan, Jalisco
1827- Serapio Cabuto was baptized on Sep 9 with the Cabuto last name
1881- Serapio Cabuto & Andrea Reyes, Married June 25 (he married with the Cabuto last name)

Serapio and Andrea had 4 children, they are all baptized and registered RODRIGUEZ REYES
instead of Cabuto Reyes, so basically since 1882 my family now has the last name Rodriguez, but we should be Cabuto.

No one new this in my family, it was a big surprise. I was able to also check other descendants of Florencio Cabuto and Damiana ( Serapio's siblings) and they all carried on with the name Cabuto.

Serapio and Andrea continued to live in Etzatlan, its not like they changed names and moved away as in running from something.

I am beyond puzzled by this, and I will never know what truly happen

Has anyone had this happen to you? not a simple mistake on the last name as record keeping wasn't stellar, but a complete change??

Hello Nuestros Ranchos Forum,

Does anyone have any information on Seferino Alonso and Maria Eugena
Tiscareno? Specifically the parents. They would've been born towards the
end of the 1700s, possibly in San Luis Potosi. They had children that were
married and baptized in San Luis Potosi and Zacatecas.

As far as I have been able to tell, the nexus of the Pinedos in Southern Zacatecas and Northern Jalisco seems to be Jerez/Monte Escobedo. Leonardo de la Torre y Berumen seems to think they are all descended or related (as slaves or servants to descendants) to a Rodrigo de Pinedo or Pineda that was one of the captains fighting the Chichimeca War that were the original settlers of Jerez.

I have no definitive proof of this or even that my two Pinedo lineages come from him. My father's Pinedos definitely come from Monte Escobedo. They are descended from a Diego Pinedo who was married to a Gertrudis de Avila. Their son, Lorenzo Pinedo married a granddaughter of Francisco de Escobedo (founder of San Andres Astillero, which later came to be known as Monte Escobedo). Their children were born in in San Andres Astillero. One of them later moved to Totatiche and is one of the progenitors of the name in the region.

The other two are a Diego Pinedo who is a mulato in the early 1700s in Colotlan and had lots of children and a Francisco Pinedo who appears in Tlaltenango around 1700. Before that there are no Pinedos in Tlaltenango other than a son of one of the mayors in the early 1700s who appears to have left no descendancy in the area. Francisco Pinedo appears to have immigrated from Tayahua, Zacatecas (in what is now Villanueva) since the marriage of his oldest son states that he was born in Tayahua. That makes sense and would explain why he doesn't appear anywhere before that date since the records for Tayahua are missing for those years.

It is hard to say where to look but the Pinedos are concentrated in a cocentric circle around Monte Escobedo... Colotlan, Totatiche, Monte Escobedo, Tepetongo and Jerez. What are the approximate dates for your great-grandparents baptisms/marriages? Most of those municipalities are well indexed and your ancestors would show up if they were there which makes me think they may be in an unindexed place like Valparaiso or something of the sort. Nicanor's marriage document does not list his birthplace? How about your grandfather's baptism certificate. Does it list his grandparents? Do these match those from Nicanor's marriage document?

========================
Chris Pineda wrote:

You seem to know alot about the Pinedos in Zacatecas...so I'm hoping you can help me out. Perhaps the bext question to ask is what towns do you think were really hubs for Pinedos and Pinedas?

I'm asking because I've been stuck for a while and don't know how to proceed. I have found 2 marriage records for my great grandfather, named Nicanor Pineda, in Tlaltenango, dated 1903 and 1914. I also found the death certificate for his first wife in Tlaltenango. The problem is that I've been unable to find his baptism or birth records...I've been searching the Tlaltenango records for some time (for 1870s-1890s), but nothing. I'm wondering now if Nicanor Pineda might have been born and baptized someplace else.

What I do know is that his father's name is Pedro Pinedo according to the records I've found and, if my grandfather remembers right, Pedro Pinedo might have been in the cavalry. I believe that Nicanor's mother was named Pioquinta (Men/Car)dosa.

So any idea on other cities to start looking at? Any help is appreciated

Estimado Señores:

Me surgió la duda sobre la ascendencia de Fulgencio González de Ruvalcaba o González de Hermosillo por el lado materno. Jaime Holcombe según sus notas puso que Fulgencio González de Ruvalcaba casado con Josepha Sánchez de los Hinojos era el 15 de diciembre de 1686 en Aguascalientes, era hijo del capitán Joseph González de Ruvalcaba, el padre está bien, pero a cuanto la madre Holcombe puso Ana González Florida hija de Francisco Muñoz de la Barba y Catalina Gutiérrez Rubio me surge la duda aquí.

En mi libro que se publicará pronto encontrarán un partida matrimonial del tenor siguiente

“15 de diciembre de 1686
Fulgencio González de Hermosillo hijo lexítimo de Joseph González de Ruvalcaba y Ana de Hermosillo vesinos todos de la villa de los Lagos aviendo el contenido presentado licencia de su parocho y certifiación con Josepha Sánchez de los Hinojos hija lexítima de del capitán Nicolás Fernández de Palos y Leonor Sánchez de los Hinojos vesinos de esta jurisdicción. Testigos el capitán don Francisco de Lomas, alcalde maior, Nicolás de Aguilera, Alcalde hordinario y Alonso Navarrete.’

Aquí nota que Fulgencio utilizaba Hermosillo también conocido cualquier González de Ruvalcaba o González de Hermosillo, lo he visto solo como González varias veces. Era hijo de Joseph González de Ruvacaba y Ana de HERMOSILLO. Según la genealogía que da Holcombe esta Ana "Gonzalez Florida" ni tiene nada que ver con Hermosillo.

Según Holcome es lo siguiente Ana González Florida era hija de Francisco Muñoz de la Barba y Catalina Gutiérrez Rubio. Estos últimos de Juan Muñoz de la Barba y Ana de Espíndola; Francisco Gutiérrez de la Vega y Ana González Florida.

Si se fijan todas las partidas de los bautismos de los vástagos de Joseph González de Ruvalcaba y Ana González de Hermosillo (o como conocíamos Florida) nunca menciona Ana como González Florida solo González salvo el último bautismo que nos da luz, el bautismo de Ana bautizada en Santa María de los Lagos el 23 de marzo de 1651 hija de Juseph Gonçález de Ruvalcaba y Ana Gonçalez de Hermoçillo. Ahora quiénes son los padres de Ana de Hermosillo o Ana González de Hermosillo?

Aunque respeto el trabajo que ha hecho don Jaime Holcombe me pregunto cuánts líneas hubo confusión o sin comprobación. Esta línea es importantísima es parte del núcleo de los alteños.

Espero su amable respuesta,

Daniel Méndez Camino

No reliable complete index exists of the Colotlan baptisms of the early 1800's -- not on Ancestry, not on FamilySearch, not in the church books themselves. I discovered this when I found records in the church books that I then tried to find using Ancestry and FamilySearch indexes, and many of them were not in any index.

While our family has a great many names in Colotlan, the immediate need was for Marquez baptisms in the early 1800's, which will be followed by the need for baptisms a generation earlier.

So I realized that the only way to find all the Colotlan Marquez baptisms was to go page by page and record by record through the hundreds of pages of church books and make a spreadsheet of all the baptisms of children of a Marquez parent.

That spreadsheet is now available at http://www.wwjohnston.net/famhist/#mexican -- be sure to read the "About this spreadsheet" worksheet. The work is not yet done, so that there will be more updates as time allows for the research.

The reason why i'm asking is because the last ruler of granada apparently also went by the boabdil which sounds quite similar to bobadilla.
