My great-grandfather was a Zenobio/Cenobio Gonzalez
born c. 1844 in Jerez to Prudencio Gonzalez and Severiana Salcedo. His
first wife, whom he married in 1862, was Eleuteria Tovar, d/o Mauricio Tobar and
Petra Escobedo-Sandobal. His second wife, whom I descend from, was Ma.
Francisca Saldivar. Severiana Salcedo had a kinsman--I want to say a
brother--named Gregorio Salcedo. Does any of the Gonzalez information
sound familiar to you? Marge V.:)

Subject: [ranchos] Gonsalez, Garcia,
Hernandez surnames
Dear Ranchos members,
I am a new, recently added member
and if I have taken undue time to
introduce myself, please accept my
apologies. My family surnames are in
this order, Gonsalez, Garcia
and great-grandmother's name Hernandez. We
were from Zacatecas, near
Jerez, and from long-standing oral history in my
family, my grandfather
lived at La Hacienda de Trancoso, near Fresnillo. I
have requested
the baptismal certificate of my grandfather, Luis Gonsalez,
born in 1868,
with record submitted to the catholic parish of La
Purificacion in
Fresnillo. My father told me that his grandmother, Julia
Hernandez
was 6 years old and came with her father from Spain to be one of
the
hacienda administrators---it looks like they had several administrators
as
the hacienda was large and prosperous. Two of her sisters were born in
Jerez, and they married wealthy men. The story goes that because she
married a ranchero, she was looked down on by her sisters. My dad told me
his sister went to Zacatecas and found distant relatives in Jerez, but
since
she passed away I cannot verify it with her. The family name
also has the
name Garcia, which were cousins of my grandfather Luis, also
from Zacatecas.
I am looking for records of Hernandez and
those of Leon Gonsalez, my
great grandfather who would have been born
sometime between 1830-1850 in
Zacatecas. This is all I
know about him. My grandmother was from
Zacatecas, born in
1888. Her last name was also Gonzalez, but my
understanding is that
her grandparents were rescued and brought back to the
hacienda and given
their family name. Does this make sense? So, my dad was
Jose Luis
Gonsalez Gonzalez, born in Durango in 1914.
