Donna, this is the first time I have seen a post from you though I'll admit my ten year old daughter is way better at this than I am, I have not accessed your family tree though I'm helping my wife's family with the Gonzalez, I do have some friends and relatives named Ismael and they are all male, sometimes very often in the old days someone was named for a saint of the opposite sex but usually had two names one normally being the matching gender even if the other was not.

I need help to see if anyone has heard of any my family names in my tree, and if they know about the name Ismael being a girl's name, but to no avail. No one replies, I haven't gotten a single response from anyone since I've been a member.? I don't know why and what I'm doing wrong. Am I posting it in the wrong place or something? Can you help me? ?

Hi Donna,
I have to go to school
now, so this is going to be kind of quick and not very thorough, since I don’t
have time to go through all the marriage and baptism records. And, I’m leaving
out tons of dates, but, I can still give you a little more information. Also, I’m
not sure how familiar you are with family search but, you’ll get a lot farther
in your search if you look here: https://familysearch.org/search

I did find your last post on NR and it looks like there may have been a glitch of some kind because I see you posted your request on May 11th and I checked my email and your post isn't on the digest for that day or the next day. Maybe, someone can look into that. I do see George
provided you with information on Francisco Acevedo and Florencia Nava, so I’ll
skip them, since I don’t have a lot of time. I too agree with George that those
are your correct ancestors even though you’re missing three of the children. I’ll
jump right to Benito Mercado and Longina Enriquez. If you

Hi Donna,

I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you've been having finding assistance on the forum. I honestly, don't recall seeing your posts in the past and I try to look at all the digests in case I can help. I can tell you from my own experience that everyone on the forum is very helpful and very knowledgeable. I'm not sure if you're doing something wrong, but there are some ways to improve your chances of getting a response. I notice you left the Subject header without changing it to something specific. I used to do that in the beginning and it definitely limits your chance of success. If you leave the subject header unchanged, it will be very easy to miss. Also, if you're sending a research request make sure you're sending it to the research list and not here to the general list. In addition, if you're wanting people to look at your tree, you can attach a link to your folder in your message, I've seen some new people do that and it makes it easy for members
to access your tree as

Like Raul, I do not recall seeing your previous posts.

I took a brief look at the indexed Tepetongo church records at Family Search, and I believe I may have found some records that may be of interest, but they need further research.

I did a search for children of Francisco Acevedo and Florencia Nava. In the results, there are three children, although not one that you have named, but the time period is correct, so I looked at one of the baptismal records:

Bruno Acevedo, baptized 16 Oct 1890, San Juan Bautista, Tepetongo, the son of Francisco Acevedo and Florencia Nava. The paternal grandparents are Antonio Acevedo and Guadelupe Marquez; the maternal grandparents are Domingo Nava and Jesus Acevedo. There is a marginal note in the baptismal record that Bruno married Martina Dias on 16 Jan 1915 (the church is not stated, but in the absence of a place I would assume San Juan Bautista).

In your information you have the parents of Francisco Acevedo as "Marquez Acevedo" and
