Scribes for Zacatecas Civil Records in San Pedro Ocampo
I'm hoping to find information on a Adolfo Martinez B. who was (a judge?) in charge of documenting entries for civil records during 1916 records I found.
I'm hoping to find information on a Adolfo Martinez B. who was (a judge?) in charge of documenting entries for civil records during 1916 records I found.
I'm hope you can help me. This is a continuation to a previous post. I'm trying to find Rosario Arellano parents. Any insight you can provide would be appreciated.
3rd PARAGRAPH should read: Rosario Arellano (my 4x great grandfather) and Catalina Flores's son NARCISO Arellano, (my 3 times great grandfather) died in 3/23/1908 in Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico. Narciso Arellano's death certificate indicates hilo legitimo de Rosalio Arellano y Catalina Flores however other grandchildren have Norveta Flores as Paternal Grandmother.
Dear Xochil,
I wonder if Catalina and Norberta Flores are not the same person. Could Norberta Flores be a second wife that was much younger than her husband.
I would recommend looking at the records of the other grandchildren to look for small clues. Then check for a marriage dispensation just in case Norberta and Catalina are related and Norberta needed a marriage dispensa to get married to Rosalio. Remember to Look for a marriage record of Rosalio even after his sons presumed birthdate
Check out this information:
Norberta Flores is the daughter of Jose Zenon Flores and Geronima Castaneda
Zenon is the son of Jose Maria Flores and Francisca Miramontes)
Geronima Castaneda is the daughter of Bartolo Castaneda and Maria Paula Delgado
Norberta Flores
Mexico, Jalisco, Catholic Church Records
Name Norberta Flores
Event Type Baptism
Event Date 07 Jun 1863
Event Place Tequila, Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico
Gender Female
Father's Name Zenon Flores

I was looking at old post on sharing when i found a comment that I made about hitting a dead end with Salvador Clemente De la Torre and his wife Maria Alexandra De La Torre.
Hi there Rick. I also have been looking into old posts to see what I have missed during my relative dormancy, and there’s some interesting stuff. Your mention of De la Torre caught my attention because I too have a De la Torre dead end that I have not been able to surpass for a really long time. I was going to post about it, but you beat me to it.
I descend from Joseph de la Torre and Isabel de Benavides, vecinos de Tepatitlán. Joseph de la Torre and Ma. Isabel de Benabides were married on Monday, 17 FEB 1710, in Tepatitlán, Jalisco, México. Their marriage record literally reads as follows:

Don Diego de Villaseñor casó el 1-jul-1637 en Morelia con Gertrudis de Cuevas Carbajal Samaniego según lo relata el padre Ibarrola en "familias y Casas de la Vieja Valladolid".
De esa pareja he localizado dos hijos :
Juana Villaseñor y Cuevas que casó en 1672 en Puruándiro con Nicolás de Ochoa Garibay (Ibarrola)
Francisca Villaseñor y Cuevas bautizada 18-ago-1661 en Angamacutiro, Mich. (LDS)
y muy probablemente Francisco de Villaseñor Cuevas el que casó con una María de Lomelín ya que ellos bautizan a José Cuevas Lomelín el 8-dic-1679 en Jocotepec,Jalisco. Este Francisco calculo yo que nació por 1640 y casó por 1665
Hubo otro Francisco de Cuevas que casó con otra María Lomelín, este fue Francisco de Cuevas Carbajal y su esposa fué María Villaseñor Lomelín bautizada el 3-may-1663 en Tocuitatlán, Jal.
Carlos
Oh muchas gracias por los aportes a las familias Villaseñor, Cueva(s) y Lomelín. Con tus datos ya corregí lo que tenía. Me puse a leer las cartas de Jaime Holcombe y noté que él mismo también los mencionó.
Me queda obvio que me necesito conseguir mi copia propia del libro del Padre Ibarrola.
Steven Francisco Hernández López
Steven,
Ese libro es una pérola en nuestros estudios michoacanos y jalicienes ya que la família Villaseñor se desenvolvió tanto en tal manera que su posteridad cubran una grande extensión de territorio. Lo he buscado por tres años y nada. Hasta recientemente he localizado dos posibilidades de encontrarlo uno en Morelia y otro en San Francisco, CA vamos ver lo que encontramos. Te deseo éxito en sus investigaciones y estoy muy feliz en tenerte por aquí de nuevo.

Tengo varios capítulos del "Familias y Casas de la Vieja Valladolid" que me proporcionó el señor Tony Campos, el real experto del Obispado de Michoacán. El tiene una copia la que yo podía consultar con frecuencia, y nomás por decidia le saque algunas copias, porque como está tan cerca se me hacía a la mano y de fácil acceso. Pero ya que me mudé de casa pues ya no es de tan fácil acceso. Me despegué de la genealogía por un tiempo por razones personales, pero estoy volviendo a poner toda mis cosas genealogicas en orden de nuevo, pero tengo mis cosas dispersadas y guardadas en cajas y no recuerdo exactamente donde quedaron. Mis libros publicados los tengo a la vista pero los que son copias de libros son los que no ubico por extraviados.
Para los que se encuentran en una circumstancia parecida y deseen localizar una copia del libro "Familias y casas de la vieja Valladolid" por Gabriel Ibarrola Arriaga y sacarle copia al libro entero ya que solo es de referencia y no se encuentra de
I am also very interested in getting a hold of this book or copies of this book. A few years ago I went looking for a book that I especially was interested in at ucla. Unfortunately the information from the worldcat catalog was not enough for for the librarians to find the book. I was totally disappointed. I thought that once you had the reference number it would be a piece of cake to find in the library. Since it was in a very rare book section I was not allowed to actually look for it myself. They never found the book. Good luck finding this book. Please let me know what you find.
R A Ricci
Well I know that my dear old friend Tony Campos has an intact copy of the entire book.
The Worldcat catalog mentioned CSU Fullerton, UC Irvine, USC and a few others. I remember now, Tony Campos got his copy from Fullerton.
Fullerton is between his home and the Orange FHC where he did most of his research into the Obispado de Michoacan. He lives in Diamond Bar and would give a good excuse to pay him a visit.
Steven Francisco Hernández López
Steven,
Thank your for your prompt response. I may ask you to make a copy of that book if my searches fail. I have contacted Morelia, Mexico City, Guanajuato, Guadalajara and some institutions in Madrid and nothing. I know the 1st edition is out of print, but recently they have reprinted into a modern edition in Morelia. I have one more bookstore I can email and see if they know anything. I was told they can also be purchased from a bookstore in San Francisco. I am growing inpatient as a genealogist, because I need it. I feel limited as to research without this book. I like you come from many of the principal families of the Bishopric of Michoacán. Méndez de Torres, Gutiérrez de Robles, Villaseñor, Martínez de Navarrete, Núñez de Sotomayor, Alvarez del Castillo are the least to mention. I could pay a service fee if you would like so you can get me a copy of the book when you go to Fullerton, if it not be any trouble.
When you go to Tony Campo's house, ask him if he has any additional

Hola a todos !
Tuve la suerte de adquirir el libro del Padre Ibarrola hace unos dos años y medio y no me decepcionó ya que yo había visto los extractos que aparecen en google books y se veía que contenía información sobre muchos apellidos, particularmente (además de mi apellido ) aparecía en las vistas previas el nombre del abuelo de unos grandes amigos míos de Morelia y deseaba yo investigar su genealogía. Efectivamente, al comprar el libro pude ver buena parte de los ascendientes de mis amigos que resultaron ser de los LLanos-Valdés y de los Ruíz de Contreras.
Respecto de los Méndez de Torres siento decepcionarte Daniel, pero no se encuentran en el libro, hay sí varios Méndez así a secas, otros Médez de Castro, Méndez de Orozco y Méndez Pérez-Gil. Realmente me sorprende que no aparezca información sobre los Méndez zamoranos ya que fue y sigue siendo uno de los apellidos más ilustres de esa ciudad.

Hello Steve,
You are right again, it is through my descendancy through Regina Villasenor y Cuevas. Though the marriage was in Aguascalientes, the marriage dispensation is in Guadalajara. When I found it, I would go back to it often because I was so thrilled to see what I had been looking many, many years. The diagram was a great find because it showed how they descended from two half siblings, from 2 different marriages, same father. The diagram is image 466 (1787 FHL source film 168072 Mexico)(Marriage dispensations Guadalajara)
Regina was married on 2feb 1689, La Barca Jalisco to Miguel Gonzalez de Hermosillo.
Diego Villasenor + Gertrudis de Cuevas
Francisco Villasenor (c. 1640 m1662) Maria Lomelin (1644)
Regina Villasenor Cuevas Lomelin (m2Feb1689) + Miguel Gonzalez de Hermosillo
I believe that francisco Villasenor and Maria Lomelin are related through the Villasenor Orosco and that she is the granddaughter of Luis LOMELI AND Maria de olmos. I am still gathering information
Hello Steve,
One thing to remember when searching for information about people in the Los altos de Jalisco in 1600 and 1700 s is that many of them practiced a tradition started with some Italian Jews of naming their children with their grandparents names, including surnames. Look for Isabel with a different last name. Check out their descendents for any clues as to a possible last name. You already know about this but we sometimes need reminders.
A couple of years ago I was reminded by Daniel Mendez that the h and f were interchangeable in these centuries. Even though I already knew this information, I had overlooked some key data because I did not keep this on my mind at times when working on a couple Of lines. I immediately went back over my info and found an important baptismal certificate. I then was also able to solve another puzzle that I had been working on for a long time.
The practice of naming children after grandparents and great grandparents was found in certain
Joseph and Ysabel are my 6th great grandparents on my maternal line.
Nicholas de la Torre, married to Ana Gertrudis Gutierrez de Hermosillo are my 5th great grandparents.
Also, I just requested the book, Familias y Casas de Vallalodid, from our storage facility at USC. I will probably have my hands on it tomorrow morning. If so, I'll let you all know. The copyright is 1969, however, so don't know about making a complete copy of the book.
Anyways, I just wanted to begin a conversation with new found "Primos."
Eduardo Tinoco
Mucho gusto conocerte,
Well it seems we descend not only from Joseph de la Torre and Isabel Benavides, but also from their son Nicolas, and his wife Anna-Gertrudis Gutierrez de Hijar y Mendoza Hermosillo. In fact I descend from the Gutierrez line twice.
Despues platicamos...
Steven Francisco Hernández López
Dear Steve,
Even though Jose De la torre and Isabel Benavides are named as vecinos de Tepatitlan, I wouldn't be surprised if they were were born in Teocaltiche or Nochistlan Zacatecas as that is when many families migrated from that area to los altos de Jalisco. I have ancestors from those locations that moved to tepa and Jalos. The ones that went to Jalos were easier to trace back to Teocaltiche and Nochistlan because they added more information in their records. The ones that went to tepa were harder as sometimes they were more inconsistent as to providing this info. Since tepa and Jalisco weren't so far apart you could sometimes find the information recorded twice in both locations, with the Jalos record providing extra data. For example, my maternal grandfather came from families from the Jalos /San Miguel el alto area but he was born between Tepa and Jalos, much closer to Tepa, and the ranch was recognized as being under tepatitlan jurisdiction. His baptismal record is found
Dear Steve,
Did you ever find the parents of Joseph de la Torre Ledesma and Isabel de Benavides? I have put aside all my other genealogy work for a few weeks and have only been working on the de la Torre Ledesma lines. The de la Torre Ledesma has become a big chapter in my book since it now connects to other ancestors of founding families in Spain. This coming Christmas vacation I hope to spend time in a few far off libraries gathering more information on the de la Torre Ledesma lines. My paternal grandmother is De La Torre.

Included below are some links to marriage dispensations and associated family trees recently found that will benefit several Reynoso families that are from Moyahua/Juchipila parishes.
Have a website that includes some of the older Reynoso y Renteria families from Moyahua and Juchipila parishes, and also some Reynoso families from Jalostotitlan, Mezquital, and Cuquio.
It is not inclusive of all Reynoso families, and it is still very early for research of these Reynoso y Renteria families. Link included below. My wife or I are not known to be directly related to these families, but when researching my spouse Lozano and Renteria families, found many of these Reynoso records; and decided to share, hopefully helping others.

who was the daughter of Jose Maria de Jesus de Luna and Gertrudis Reynoso.

In case you don't already have this, here is the carta de dote of Diego Martin Saldana, giving an account of what he received from Maria de Ruelas, at the time he married Teresa de Sotomayor. It includes an inventory. It's dated 19 Sep 1661 - years after the marriage, he says he didn't have a chance to do it, at the time he married, since he was always out in the fields.

Hola Miembros , I was cruising through Baptismal Records in Jalostotitlan - 1698-1701 ,1701-1707,1694-1702 Image # 225 .
Hi Ronnie - I don't have anything to offer on the morisca issue. But, interestingly, I was just working yesterday on Francisca Gertrudis Escoto y Tovar who was married to Ysidro Villalobos. They had children in Aguascalientes between 1683 and 1694, so this is definitely not your Gertrudis. But since we are talking about the Escoto y Tovar family, does anyone have any information about Francisca Gertrudis? I can't find any records about her at all, other than records for her children. I am guessing that she died around 1694-1696, as Ysidro had 2 more children in 1697 and 1699 with Angela Dias de la Huerta.
Daniel
Daniel,
Francisca Gertrudis Escoto y Tovar and Isidro de Villalobos are my ancestors too. you can find them here:

In my experience, the "castas" system was not used based on the romanticized colonial charts (made mostly as propaganda rather than scientific research). In Mexico, from all the records I've seen, less than five per cent are true to these charts, Is obvious (to me a least) that the "race" designation was used as a physical description rather than genetic, and the words "mulato", "morisco", and "lobo" are often used simply to state that the kid is from a possible mix ancestry, and/or a times to state how they "look", similar to today's "tez morena" "tez clara". Thus if the kid look a bit dark-skin, they would likely use any of those "castas" to "describe" him/her, regardless of their parents been "Spanish". (and for the most part the parents, specially the mother, where not present during the baptism)
A pattern I've notice at times in some towns is that when Spanish people have kids of darker skin, the would use "morisco", but when the kid was from Spanish and Natives, they would
Not long ago I was working on finding the parents of Maria de Arizmendi (wife of Juan del Muro (I)).
Text goes like this:
-Don Juan del Muro introduce Lorenso Lopes Pichardo as witness.
-Lorenso said he knows the one who introduce him since He born. (note "conoce al que lo presenta" in this case "presenta" means "to introduce" not "her/she is present", here the witness is talking about Juan)

Hi Alice,
Between the parents names, after don Nicolas Vocanegra, it says Alguasil mayor de Santo Oficio. The Alguacil Mayor, I think is normally like a Sheriff or Town Constable, but, this says Alguacil Mayor de Santo Oficio, which would be referring to The Holy Office, which is the nice name for the Inquisition, so he would most likely have been in charge of arresting people for crimes against the Church like heresy and stuff like that.

Here's my quick read on this (mistakes in reading are possible, abbreviations used):
En el pueblo de San Juo del Rio, en veinte y nueve de Nobe de setecientos y trece años ex lisentia parrochi baptize a Maria de San Diego hija lexma de Dn. Nicolas de Vocanegra Alguasil mayor de Sto Oficio, y de Da Maria Roxo fueron sus padrinos el Cappn D Juo [Juan] de Lovion y Dna Margarita Resends
[signatures]
I think the part you're wondering about is the wording after Nicolas de Vocanegra's name. It's in reference to his position, alguacil mayor. You can read more about that here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alguacil
Let me add the position is in reference to the Santo Oficio (the religious aspect of governance is my best way of describing it; others I'm sure are more knowledgeable about it).
I hope this helps!
Rosalinda
I couldn't have done it without you, since I've never read the word alguasil before.
Thanks so much for your help.

Alguacil is the modern translation of the word "Sheriff". Such as the word sheriff means "shire reeve" in ancient Anglo-Saxon. Al-guacil is originally Arabic and means the "local law authority".
As "Alguacil Mayor del Santo Oficio [de la Inquisicion]" he would have been in charge of arresting people accused of heresy, witchcraft, jewish-converso practices, blasphemy, native Indian pagan worship, and subsequently bringing them before the "Regidores" the council members/judges who would interrogate you and ascertain your guilt or innocence.
[By the way....isn't Queretaro a treasure trove of Italian immigrants?? Just on this page you see two Italian family names...Spinola (Espinola/Espindola) and Bocanegra...plus others like Grimaldi (Grimaldo), Lomellini (Lomelin/Lomeli) and Fregoso are not uncommon in Queretaro and Puebla genealogy.]

It's not surprising that so many Spanish words have Arabic origins. I once read that most Spanish words that begin with "al" are of Arabic origin.
Even ojala comes from the Arabic for "God willing". I taught an English as a second language class of 50% Arabs and 50% Hispanics.
The Hispanic students were sharing a joke amongst themselves that mentioned "calzones". The Arabs snickered and said that
calzones and pantalones have the same meaning in Arabic.
About the Italian, I noticed that, too. However, I never knew my Vocanegra surname to be Italian. I've also been told that my Bravo surname is originally Sicilian.
At this point in time I can only say that as far as I have found (only to the 1700's) they both came from Spain. But, as we all know, genealogy is full of surprises!

Calzones and pantalones might be Latin in origin, but they're used in Arabic. So they got those words from the Spanish.
There are indeed many Spanish words from Arabic, including our names: Guadalupe, Omar, Fatima, Lilia and Medina are just a few that come to mind.

Hello Laura,
The point was that the word flow was not Arabic to Spanish since the

I was already aware of the Spanish words from Arabic since I was a teenager

In reference to original baptismal entry...the father of the child was "Alguacil Bocanegra".
While the etymology of "alguacil" is well established as Arabic, the origin of the surname Bocanegra is indeed Italian...specifically Ligurian/Genoese.
I have been researching almost exclusively Italian and Portuguese genealogies recently and have discovered the origin of the Bocanegra surname in my Estrada-Bocanegra ancestry from Teocaltiche and Guadalajara.
The surname Boccanegra (Italian) or Bocanegra (Spanish) originated in northern Italy during the 13th century. The first Doge of Genova was named Simone Boccanegra. Go to =>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boccanegra
Interesting story about OUR last name...
In Italian [as in Spanish], bocca means "mouth and Ne(g)ra "black", so in English Boccanegra means "black mouth". Translation – Mouth Black, or in English Black Mouth.
During the 13th century the representation or depiction of evil was black (or Darkness) and the representation or

How very interesting. I probably would have been burnt at the stake in 13th century Italy

Dear Steve,
Merry Christmas,
I wanted to add some information clarifying the Bocanegra stories
You stated:
Simone Boccanegra (died 1363) was the first doge of Genoa, elected doge for life on September 24, 1339. His story was popularized by Antonio García Gutiérrez's 1843 play Simón Bocanegra and Giuseppe Verdi's 1857 opera Simon Boccanegra. Note the spellings in Spanish and Italian.
My clarifications:
The truth is that Antonio Garcia Gutierrez's play was not exactly a true story. Simone Boccanegra was never a corsair, ever a sailor and he was not involved with a Fieshi. The author combined the stories of two brothers, Simon and Egidio, into one character.
He used Simone's name and position as doge of Genoa, combined with his brother egidios life as a sailor and corsair. Egidio was married to Maria Fieschi but it was not the dramatic story of the play I descend from Aegidio [Egidio] Boccanegra (aka Gil Barbanegra), a brother to the real Simone Boccanegra. Simon and Egidio are
After researching the origin of the word pantalón I found that it is from
the name of one of the most important principal characters found in La
*Commedia
dell'Arte* from the 16th century. It is very doubtful that it made it into
Arabic from Spanish in the 16th century or after especially since from what

I used to work with someone who had immigrated from Lebanon with his wife. One time, I walked into his office and he was on the phone with her, speaking in Arabic. At one point in the conversation, I was sure I heard the word "pantalones" distinctly. I thought it must be some other word that just had the same sound, as I don't speak Arabic. I asked him if he had been speaking to his wife about pants, and he said "Yes! You know Arabic?" I said no, the word for pants was the same in Spanish. We did a collective 'wow' and had a good laugh over that.
Last year, I went to the Middle East for a week for work. I wanted to learn a few words and phrases in order to get around, to ask directions, to shop, that kind of thing. I found that personally it was easier for me to learn Arabic words when I was using a Spanish-to-Arabic translator site.
