OMG!

I found this document of defunto on how Lazaro Madera passed away caused by a strike from lightening. It's common in our village that people out on their ranches get hit by lightening. Even to this day!

It looks as though you're looking for the surname De la Lus Ramirez, but it
appears as though De La Lus is part of the first name, Jose de la Lus,
Ramirez looks like the surname.

I found the defunto of the wife of my great great great great grandfather Francisco Madera. Her name is Maria Leocadia De Huizar, "Espanola" of Rancho Ximulco (Jimulco) She passed away in the year 1813 and she was 80 years old. Which then would mean she was born in 1733. Her husband Francisco Madera is the one that is from Rancho De Los Maderas but she is the one from Rancho Ximulco. See first pic. To prove to you she is the wife of Francisco Madera see second pic where Francisco Madera and Maria de Huizar had a son name Juan Venancio Madera, "Espanol" in Rancho De Los Maderas in 1762. Then third pic is where my great great great grandfather Juan Venancio (Benancio) Madera had his son Patricio Madera in Rancho Ximulco in 1792.

This is great because now I can go back to the year when she was born in 1733 and look for her baptism record there. I am still trying to find the document when Francisco Madera passed away.

And the defunto of the sister of Patricio Madera by the name of "Dona Francisca Maderas, "Espanola" Rancho Ximulco who passed away at age 23 in 1808:

http://oi60.tinypic.com/2304yf.jpg

And here is the census of the year 1830 of Rancho Ximulco where it lists Patricio Madera at age 39. His wife was Tomasa Munoz.

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18448-6691-33?cc=1874591&wc=…

But then later on Patricio Madera had another wife by the name of "Maria Dimas De La Paz that was born in 1819 who was 27 years younger than Patricio. My great grandfather Calixto Madera is the son of Patricio Madera and his second wife "Maria Dimas De La Paz" who is 27 years younger.

I am still trying to find the defunto record of my great great great great granfather Francisco Madera whose wife is Maria Leocadia De Huizar.

So I am trying to look in the matrimonios and my estimate of when they got married would be sometime before the year 1762 when then had a son name Juan Venancio (Benancio) Madera, Espanol.

I started in the year 1752 and my curiousity is the drawing of a bird the author of matimonios book made. Trying to go into the mind of the author? Did he draw it based on a bird he has seen and where did he see it.

While researching my paternal side, I came across a list of over 20 men and it just says, "Le pasaron por las armas" I looked for a translation it appears that all these men were executed under a firing squad. It was around Jan 1812. Was this still during the Mexican War of Independence and can they be connected. Can anyone please shed some light.I included the link to image.

I'm interested in finding more information on what it took to become a "Comandante de Armas". I also cannot find much information on the role of a "Teniente de Justicia". My Great grandfather x6 was both a "Teniente de Justicia" and "Comandante de Armas". My Gg x6 was apparently chosen as "Teniente" by Rosendo Porlier who was under the orders of brigadier Don José de la Cruz comandante general del Ejército de Operaciones de Reserva. http://www.pim.unam.mx/catalogos/hyd/HYDIII/HYDIII012.pdf

My Gg x6 Francisco Castillo, was later killed by insurgents on Oct 18, 1812. A few years later Francisco's son, My Gg X5, Luis Castillo Bonal, would also become Teniente de Justicia for the same town, Zacoalco de Torres, Jalisco, Mexico.

My Gg x5 Luis Castillo Bonal married a Captain's daughter.
My Gg x6 Francisco's daughter married a Teniente de justice from Tepatitlan, Jalisco, Mex.

I have also heard the title "Corregidor" and wondering if this title was just another name for "Teniente de Justicia".
Any information is greatly appreciated..website links, books, authors etc..

I saw this one on someone who is 23 years of age that was assalted, "taila una bala en la barriga" it happened in the Hacienda of San Antonio in 1811. He seemed to be from the Rancho De La Cienega. Can't tell what else the writing talks about:

In the 1679 Padron for Jalostotitlan/San Juan de los Lagos, there is a Francisco Robalcava and Isabel Avalos with three other names of (Manuel), Joseph, and Juan Robalcava. I assume these are their children. Also there is a Sebastian Mendoza and Mariana Quesada with the names of Maria de los Angeles, and (Juana Mendoza). Is this the same Manuel and Juana that some of us are looking for?

I am looking for the parents of Manuel Robalcava and Juana Mendoza. Someone posted that his parents are Matheo Robalcava and Cecelia de Ysla, but I can not find the proof. Can anyone help me with this line.

This is what I have found so far one daughter for Manuel and Juana, Ysabel b. 14 May 1696 in Jalostotitlan, and there son Joseph married to Juana Pedroza is my line. There is a dispensa for Joseph and Juanas son Joachin Domingo and Maria Lozano 1687-1749 Image 45

Found something here. It is the defunto of "Capitan Don Ignacio Martinez De Murguia" where he was 56 years old, passed away from hidropecia. Left his money to be divided up into the poor. He passed away at "La Hacienda De San Antonio De Padua" under the jurisidiction of our village "Huejuquilla El Alto" in Jalisco Mexico in 1814.

I am not sure what else it says about "esposa?"

Dear Primos and friends:

Hope this summer is full of family fun and family memories, a time to relax and renew.

If you are involved with a family reunion, I hope you take lots of photos and share with readers. If your family is not holding an organized, pre-planned reunion, maybe this would be a good time to plan for next year. There are lots of published articles for suggestions on planning a reunion.
The April issue of Ebony had a wonderful three-page article, "Its a Family Affair" with lots of pointers on how to plan a reunion.

A very special thank you to submitters of articles and family stories, Cuentos. I have not read one that I could not relate to . . in some way. They joggles my memory and are really fun reading. Even tales of deprivation are uplifting, because the writer lived through it; the writer is the victor over the pain. I hope the Cuentos encourage all of you to write and share who you are, and what you've learned from life.

First Writes got me started. There are four chapters from the writing manual available free online with the publisher's permission at:
http://www.somosprimos.com/write.htm The categories are: Home, Mom, Dad, and Money. Those four will get you started.

Also look around the house at family heirlooms. You've kept them for a reason, what is the reason?
Usually we remember events because of an emotion attached to it. What were you feeling?

Un Abrazo, Mimi

DNA
Mexican cave skeleton reveals secrets of New World's first people By Will Dunham About DNA, your Guide to Genealogy, from Kimberly Powell

You can call me Daniel. Genealogy has always been a passion and it requires dedication, each link with a document. Everything carefully cited and documented. People call me annoying, but truly it is an art. If organization is annoying people won't make it far in research. Being meticulous is key in this field. Keep in mind, that people traveled a lot during colonial times. It can be as exaggerated as your Madera coming from Mexico City, do not be surprised. I have one line from Puebla who Agustin Ruiz de Velasco y Puga Villanueva traveled all the way to Puebla just to marry his second cousin on his maternal side and to bring his wife back to Guadalajara and that is where they settled, he being from Ayotlan. If I never had familysearch, I would have never guessed they married in Puebla. Who would have thought! I have not done much research in Huejuquilla, which is on the extreme north end of Jalisco bordering Zacatecas, but it is obvious you knew that. I am finding Don Fernando de Arguelles interesting, so I saved a copy. I believe there may be a connection with Arguelles y Miranda, so I will archive it, until I decide or find more information later to pursue it. You will learn this, saving pieces of the puzzle now and later putting it together will be a godsend. I know the Juan de Arguelles y Miranda, who was secretary of the Viceroy had many nephews, so Zacatecas being so close, exists a possibility. Now I have to ask more questions and find documents.

Thank you for demonstrating strong demeanor in you're research. I have been following your posts, but rarely post.

Good luck on the never-ending research,
Daniel Méndez de Torres C.

For those of you doing research into the Mendoza Surname this is the information that I have come across in my research:

Salvador Mendoza - Bruna Gomez (GGGGrandfather Salvador born 1820's?)
Encarnacion Mendoza - Romana Cedillo (GGGrandfather Encarnacion born 1840's?)
Zenon Cedillo Mendoza - Rosa Ramirez (GGrandfather Zenon born 1860's?)
Ruperto Mendoza - Tomasa Hernandez (Grandfather Ruperto born 1890's)

I do not know where Salvador Mendoza was born but do know that the rest of my grandfathers were born in the Jalisco area. Hope this information might help someone doing research. I also have images of the names as they are related should you need them. Thanks

The results of my Ancestry DNA are at a standstill pause, while I have been matched with several other that had their DNA done, their responses have been rather negative. My question, can the Ancestry DNA results be universally shared and compared with the results from other testing entities such as NuestrosRanchos tests. One of my matches came from one that has ancestors with the de Leon surname from Encarnacion Jalisco, however, he/she did not go any further and I could not access his/her private family tree. Is there a DNA forum within NuestrosRanchos?

I have been moving along the archive of defuntos of Huejuquilla and San Antonio De Padua looking for the defunto of my great great great great grandfather Francisco Madera who is the husband of Maria de Guizar and the father of Juan Benancio Madera (1762).

I arrived to the year 1810 and by curiousity I ran across this document of defunto of 14 cuerpos que murieron en "La Guerra" and of Hacienda San Antonio?

What Guerra? The war of indpendence of Mexico against Spain?

Has anyone been hit with the geneology bug? I am doing lots of research now I got hit with the geneology bug.

I'm hoping someone can help me find the baptismal date of: Luiz Joseph URSUA Chabes, c. 1730, español, originario y vecino de la Hacienda de San Bartolome, Aguascalientes, Ags. hijo legitimo de Juan ORSUA Chabes y Cayetana Maria CHABES Albares. [Luiz is aka Jossef Luiz de URCUA; Luiz Jossef VRSUA, VRZUA, HORZUA, etc.]

Luiz' known siblings: Maximiliana Antonia, 1715; Olaya, 1716; Maria, 1719; Monica Barbara, 1722; Ma. Antonia Cornelia, 1729; Lorenzo Joaquin, 1737. A tentative sibling: Maria de San Juan, wife of Francisco ROMO-DE VIVAR.

His first marriage: to Maria Raphaela Rita PONSE De Alba, mulata, hija legitima de Nicolas PONZE y Lorenza DE ALBA. 20 Apr 1750, La Asuncion, Ags, Ags, 5 known children

His second marriage: to Maria Seledonia de los Dolores MASIAS Gonsales, española, originaria y vecina de Ags en la Hacienda de San Bartolome, hija legitima de Christobal MASIAS Gomes y Gertrudis GONSALES. 6 Sep 1758, La Asuncion, Ags, Ags, 9 known children.

I've found over 15 ways that URSUA is spelled in the IGI, which makes this family extremely difficult to track, as anyone with URSUA in their lines already knows. Any help with Luiz would be very much appreciated.
