Hello Joseph and Group.
Sorry it's taken so long to get this information out, but since joining the group last June, I haven't really had much time to devote to my genealogy. Zacatecas is the area of search for my father's side of the family. Although I started my researching in 1974, it has only been over the last six years that I've concentrated my father's side.
My grandparents-Juan Huerta Jaurique & Candelaria Magallanes Marques were married in Mesilla, New Mexico on 24FEB1916. They had three daughters and two sons.
Grandpa Juan was born in Estancia, Zacatecas on 24JUN1880; his parents were Victor Jauregui and Petra Huerta. He died in Las Cruces, New Mexico 13MAY1960. We know that he had another family in Mexico before marrying my grandmother but no one seems to have any details about them. According to census documents he came to the USA in 1909. I've been told he first went to Arizona, then spent some time in the Detroit area before going to New Mexico.
Victor Jauregui and Petra Huerta were married in Nochistlan, Zacatecas on 15JUN1875 according to LDS records. Except for their marriage record I have not found any other documentation on them relating to parents or children. I still need to order the film with their marriage information and perhaps it will provide me with more details. My father's family was told that Victor was born in Spain (Pais Vasco) and my father recalls that my grandpa Juan had talked about wanting to visit his father's family in "Oroz-Betelú".
My grandmother Candelaria was born in Sain Alto, Zacatecas on 2FEB1901. She died 2AUG1928 in Las Cruces, New Mexico Her parents were Juan Marques and Maria Juana Magallanes.
Juan Marques was born abt 1872 in Sain Alto, Zac. to Silvestre Marques and Maria Salome Lira
