Hi All, familysearch just released the Catholic records for Durango! I have a couple so I am very happy!
They combined all Catholic records into one section. This also include a section Nueva Espana new records
called: Comandancia General de las Provincias Internas? Hope this helps some members in the group.
As I was told Zacatecas is supposed to come out very soon, Can't wait for that.

Hi everyone,
I spent most of my summer working on genealogy (I'm a teacher, so I was on vacation). I've just come back after a hiatus and I thought the time off might clear my head and give me some more ideas about how to find missing relatives. No such luck.
Maybe you can help with some ideas?
I'm looking for my ggrandmother, Vita Castañeda Galván. I have found other documents mentioning her, but not a baptismal certificate (which I have now become fixated on).
Name: (Ma) Vita Castañeda Galvan
Born: abt 1881-1883 (according to her marriage cert., she was 18 in 9/1899, birthday in June. Took place in Capilla de la Ermita)
Place: Jerez, Zac (Los Cuervos or El Tesorero). Everyone else was baptized at La Inmaculada)
Father: Gregorio Castañeda Segobia
Mother: (Ma.) Ysabel Galván Márquez
Paternal grandparents: Juan Casteñeda Gonzales, Jesus Segobia Martí
Maternal grandparents: Toribio Galván Llamas, Margarita Márquez Villegas
I've looked under Castañon, Castellanos, etc.,Galvan, with no luck. I've also gone through the images of books from La Inmaculada, with no luck.
Her marriage certificate says she was legitimate. Any other ideas?
ALSO, she told everyone she was born in 1870, but that isn't true according to everything else I've found. She was widowed at some point in the 20s (in Texas) and ended up marrying a first cousin (no children). Why would a woman lie about her age, making herself about 10 years older?
Gracias,
Laura González
LAURA,
HI, I hope this reaches you. I am not familiar as to how to respond to this. Well in regards to Vita Castaneda, Have you tried maybe looking for the name Victoria, Vitaliana, and Vitalina. I Know that sometimes churches would shorten Names.

Does anyone know where the Esquibia brothers, Lorenzo and Francisco hail
from? They show up in the Nochistlan area (Mesquiticacan--is that an
early version of Mexticacan?) in the 1660s. Lorenzo and his wife Juana
Yanez del Monte are my 8ggpts. I've not located a mg record, but have
located 5 children between 29 Aug 1667 and 20 Jun 1677, Maria, Antonia,
Juan. Lorenzo, and Nicolasa.
One baptismal record stated that they were "laborios todos". Does that
just mean they were all manual laborers, or does it mean more? They are
consistently labeled as espanoles.
Thanks for any help or clarification.

Hello
Tarahumara on your family tree?
Below is a link fra the Informacion Matrimonial for Ojo Caliente in Zacatecas (1794 - 96). The person named in the documenent is named as a cacique and as the the son of Tarahumara caciques.
The name looks like Augustin Ynchaurregui but I am not sure. His coming wife has the last name Montellano. images 297- 299 and the date is 23 Dec 1795.
Its not often that there is any information about ethnic affiliation beyond caste, therefore I thought I would share this. The name Ynchaurregui is Basque.

Hello Researchers,
I am interested in viewing church entries that would pertain to people living around Sombrerete, Zacatecas in the 1620-40's. The earliest records I see on Familysearch start in around 1678. There weren't distinctive state lines during that era, and everything in that mining region sort of blends together, so where do I go for church entries? I would think everything was under a certain jurisdiction.
Thanks,
Alice
HolaPatty Haro , message 7 Necesitas entrar a los archivos de la parroquia determinada y buscar el evento ( bautizo, matrimonio, defuncion etc) y el ano correspondiente, abrir la primera o a veces la segunda pagina y alli veras si se trata del numero de film buscado. Ni que decirte que a veces hay que abrir varios hasta dar con el bueno. No creo que haya manera de hacerlo directamente en family search. saludos Julieta Message: 7

El dia de hoy quiero anexar una reseña de Herminio Sanchez Sanchez un descendiente de los Sanchez-Castellanos. Anexo su arbol al final.
http://colotlan2.blogspot.mx/2009/02/don-herminio-sanchez-sanchez.html
Don Herminio Sánchez Sánchez, nació en el año de 1886 en Colotlán, Jalisco. Hijo legitimo de don Loreto Sánchez y Sánchez y de doña Soledad Sánchez Valenzuela, próspero y sólido matrimonio, de amplia aceptación social en la ciudad y propietarios de varios ranchos en la región. Los primeros años de vida de Herminio tendrán lugar entre las reuniones sociales de la clase acomodada del porfiriato y las faenas propias de la labor del rancho. Tendrá la oportunidad de asistir a la primaria, prepararse en la fe católica y forjar su carácter y vigor físico, en las rudas labores del campo. De espíritu inquieto y aventurero, se convertirá en el líder indiscutible de su grupo de amigos y más tarde, amplios contingentes de hombres armados.
El 15 de febrero de 1912, a un año de iniciado el conflicto armado, contraerá nupcias con la Srita. Hermelinda Campos Ortega, situación que lo mantendrá alejado de participar en una revolución mexicana, cuyas principales reivindicaciones carecerán de pertinencia para un región conformada en su mayor parte, de ranchos agroganaderos y unas pocas haciendas. Para los habitantes de Colotlán, en su mayoría propietarios de ranchos la revolución mexicana y las reivindicaciones zapatistas de la lucha por la tierra, no tendrá mucho sentido, por lo que se mantendrán en cierta forma indiferentes al conflicto.
De 1912 a 1919, periodo en que se registran los enfrentamientos más fuertes de la Revolución Mexicana, el Sr. Herminio Sánchez Sánchez se dedicara casi por completo a su familia y a procurarles el sustento, en una época de grandes carencias y peligros. Herminio y su esposa Hermelinda darán vida a cinco hijos, tres mujercitas y dos varones: Clementina, Guadalupe Elena, Soledad, Ma. Guadalupe, Antonio y Herminio Sánchez Campos.
En el año de 1924, El Sr. Herminio Sánchez Sánchez, de acuerdo con el Gral. De Santiago, que operaba en Veracruz apoyo el movimiento que promovía la candidatura del Gral. Adolfo de la Huerta. El pronunciamiento fue secundado por el Gral. Guadalupe Sánchez en Veracruz. El Sr. Sánchez quien era un líder nato y gran organizador, pronto logró reunir más de 1000 hombres con los que amenazó Zacatecas, a fines de enero de 1924, ya había puesto sitio a la ciudad, cuando supo que Adolfo de la Huerta, jefe supremo del movimiento, había huido al extranjero y que sus partidarios habían sido vencidos en Ocotlán, Jalisco, y en la Esperanza, Veracruz, había sido fusilado el Gral. De Santiago. Sánchez se volvió a la Colotlán, y la mayor parte de sus subordinados volvieron a su hogares.
Para el año de 1926, en que se inició el conflicto cristero, era ampliamente conocida la fama de valiente y hombre cabal de don Herminio Sánchez Sánchez. La revolución mexicana, con su reparto indistinto e injustificado de tierras, amenazaba con acarrear grandes injusticias sobre muchas de las familias acomodadas de Colotlán. Gentes de campo y de empresas como Herminio Sánchez, quienes habían formado un pequeño patrimonio sobre la base del trabajo duro y constante, ahora se veían expuestos a perder sus tierras, a manos de una partida de revoltosos, muchos de los cuales no eran de este lugar, y aún menos campesinos. A esa ominosa situación se sumo la amenaza del gobierno de Calles en contra del culto católico de los mexicanos, y fue entonces cuando invitado por algunos seglares residentes en Guadalajara y otros puntos del país, se decidió a participar en la guerra cristera.
El 28 de noviembre de 1926, en el corral de la casa de Teofilo Jara en la ciudad de Totatiche, se encontraban reunidos muchos hombres, con sus caballos ensillados y con la premura de los últimos detalles de un levantamiento armado. El ir y venir de hombres, previniendo la cobija, las gordas, un poco de dinero y sobre todo revisando los cerrojos, las pistolas y el parque. Entonces Don Herminio Sánchez tomo la palabra:
“Señores, ¿Están dispuestos, como quedamos, a levantar las armas en defensa de nuestra santa religión?. Todos en voz alta contestaron “Si”. Don Herminio prosiguió: “El que no quiera por miedo u otros motivos, ahorita es tiempo”. De nuevo todos en voz alta volvieron a contestar “Si, estamos dispuestos”
hola,
Llevo años en esto pero ya se me olvido como hacerlo, alguien me puede

Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has been having problems with Family Search the past couple of days. I'm turning from page to page and it's very blurred and pix-elated for a while til it clears up. I wasn't sure if it's on my end or the site?
Thanks,
Barbara
Voy a escribir este mensaje en español esperando que alguno de los miembros que viven en Mexico, en especial los que viven cerca de Guadalajara, me puedan ayudar a identificar una poblacion. Actualmente estoy investigando a mis ancestros Francisco Bonal e Ysabel Gutierrez y su familia. Ellos se casaron el 26 de febrero de 1748 en Tlajomulco. Estoy tratando de localizar el origen de cada rama. De Francisco Bonal ya tengo verificado que es de Zacoalco.
En el caso de Ysabel Gutierrez, tanto en su acta de matrimonio como en el acta de defuncion de su papa mencionan que son de Santa Cruz. Supuse que se referia a la actual poblacion de Santa Cruz de las Flores, cerca de Tlajomulco, pero al checar un mapa actual, me di cuenta que cerca esta otra poblacion llamada Santa Cruz de la Loma. Me pregunto si algun otro miembro que tenga ancestros en el area de Tlajomulco en el siglo 18 saben si ambas poblaciones existian en ese tiempo, ya que las actas que he encontrado solo mencionan "Santa Cruz".
La otra duda es sobre un lugar llamado San Cayetano. Al leer las actas de bautismo de los primeros hijos de esta familia se menciona que nacieron en un lugar llamado San Cayetano. Al ser registrados en la parroquia de Tlajomulco, supuse que era algun lugar cercano, pero al buscar en Google earth y otros mapas, no me da ningun resultado en los alrededores del municipio. Existe San Cayetano en la actualidad? En otras ocasiones me he encontrado con nombres de poblaciones que en la actualidad solo se mencionan como un cruce de caminos o es el nombre de algun potrero. Me pregunto si hay algun punto cerca de Tlajomulco que la gente local todavia conozca como San Cayetano.
Gracias de antemano.

had 11 kids born between the 1870’s and 1890’s and
their names were Maria Concepcion, Maria, Manuela,
Juan, Andrea, Ignacio, Anastacio, Manuel, J.
Guadalupe, Maria Gertrudis Idelfonso y Francisco
Francisco Correa y Maria Soledad Lozano were my
grandfathers and they had 10 kids, born betwwen 1910’s

A while ago, I found out that my ggg-father Francisco Bonal is listed as "hijo de padres no conocidos"(parents unknown) in both his marriage certificate and matrimonial information. I haven't been able to find his baptism, so I started looking at his children's baptisms for clues. Interestingly, I found that some of their godparents had the surname Bonal. That led me to the marriage of Felix Santiago Cabrera and Maria Josepha Bonal (godparents of the youngest of Francisco's child).
I researched this couple, suspecting that Maria Josepha Bonal might be related to my ggg-father, and guess what I found on her, she's also "hija de padres no conocidos" (parents unknown). Well, that disheartened me a little because I couldn't prove anything. However when I looked at their matrimonial information, I found a letter that the priest wrote about the couple. In that letter, he still writes that Maria Josepha Bonal is daughter of unknown parents and there's something crossed out after that statement. When I zoomed into the image, I was able to read what the priest tried to cross out: "criada en la casa de Nicolas Bonal y de Juana Maria Perez" (raised in the house of Nicolas Bonal and Juana Maria Perez). Here's the link to this image if you want to read it: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18698-24217-39?cc=1874591&wc…
Interestingly, this couple, Nicolas Bonal and Juana Maria Perez, are also the godparents of another of my ggg-father's children. And also, they appear as the godparents on Maria Josepha Bonal's marriage. Did the priest just try to cross out a mistake he wrote? Were they really the step parents of Maria Josepha Bonal and the priest decided, after writing the names, that that was too much information? I hope my message was not confusing. There's enough proof that all these people knew each other. I understand that there's no proof for what I'm about to write, but I have a feeling that my ggg-father Francisco Bonal got his surname from this crossed out couple. No, I'm not writing this on my family file yet, but I can't stop thinking about this.
What do you think?
Steve in NC.
I've been reading some of the emails/postings regarding a book that has information on family names (research). What book is/are they referring to? Would I be able to request a search on my family? I would not want to impose but if it would help me to find some of my ancestors, I would appreciate any assistance. I'm sure we all know how difficult some searches can be---especially as we get into the 17-1600. Please let me know. Thank you.
Ann Marie Gutierrez
P.S. My searches are in Arandas and Jalostitlan. The family Name is Gutierrez.
My Mother's side of the family was Gutierrez and my ex-husband's Father was also Gutierrez and also from the area of Jalostitlan and Aguascalientes. My Father-in-law always teased me about maybe our being "parientes" since I looked so much like his family.
I also would like to THANK YOU ALL for the help I've been given so far in my searches. You are a great group of people--devoted to helping others and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. As it was through "Nuestros Ranchos" assistance, that I found my Mother's birth certificate....Joseph, you hold a special place in my heart for that find. Thank you.
I like Norberto Menchaca did NOT want invitations to join sent out to everyone in our address books. I don't know abt Victor but I'd guess he might be in the same position we are, angry and humbled because we did not know this would happen. Please know this was never our intention..
Linda in Boulder City now...

Hi Victor:
When you signed up with Facebook did you take the time to read the fine print and all of the "Service agreement"? If you did not, I suggest you go back and read it. They get rights to ownership of anything and everything you send in, post, and share by using their website...They have thousands of people in third world countries mining the data that comes across Facebook and building databases on individuals. It is estimated that over 25% of companies contemplating prospective employees are consulting these databases to get an insight on individuals before they get hired.
If you are going to suggest to other people to join "Facebook" remind them to make sure they read and understand the "Service agreement" before they sign up. You are opening and giving up your privacy to them when you sign up.

My husband's ancestors, surnames Naranjo, Covarrubias, Franco were from San Gabriel, Jal. Sometime between 1914 & 1930 they moved to La Cienega/El Limon, Jal. I'm curious as to why so many of the family moved there. Would anyone know of any particular historical condition that made people leave San Gabriel?

Hello everyone. I pray and hope you all had a warm and wonderful Thanksgiving Day.
I have been searching for one of my great-grandfathers and could not find his birth documents---date of birth and place of birth. I did find all of his children (15) it looks like---could someone help me in my search for both my
great-grandfather and grandmother. All of their children were born in Arandas so I am assuming both Jose Manuel and Maria Magdalena were from Arandas---but as my Mother use to say---do not assume...check it out. I appreciate your help. Thank you.
Name: Jose Manuel Gutierrez 1763 either Arandas or Jalostitlan, Jalisco
Maria Magdalena Camacho Martin 1764.
Yes, I was reviewing burial records, so you are right that it must mean infant. I've seen the word spelled a couple of different ways. The "z" might be an "r" and it might say "Paruula." I'm sure the spelling varies depending on the region and the priest's origin. Gracias - it seems there is nothing you people at Ranchos can't figure out!
Does anyone have any information about a major flood in the Rincon de Romos area in the 1890's? According to my wife's grandfather, this flood killed his parents, and he was subsequently orphaned.
Hello Researchers,
I keep encountering the word "Pazuulo" and "Pazuula" after names, such as "Maria, India Pazuula." Does anybody know what this means? I checked an antique Spanish dictionary and could not find the word. I also checked the Internet and had no luck.

Hi everyone,
I'm still researching the Fulgencio Valdez and Cecilia Hernandes line. Born 20 years before 1831 or born in 1811. My biggest problem has been trying to figure out Celcilia's mother's last name.
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1942-20468-13357-68?cc=1860864…
Jose Maria Hernandes and his wife "Maria Gregoria Marmeto"...I know that the priest probably misspelled this but I can't find a surname that I can apply to mispelling.
Patrones ...Juan Esteban (can't understand if the this is his last name or a suppose to be a Spanish word) Y su mujer Maria Caluida Banegas.
Also in the sidebar it says what village they are from...but I can't figure out what village that would be.
In the marriage record that I found for a Jose Maria Hernandez and a Maria Geogoria Marceto it seems that Jose Maria is a widower and they were only married in 1825. Which would mean that Cecilia could not be Gregoria could not be her mother. Unfortunately this marriage is held in Ixmiquilpan and not Mequitic de Carmona which makes me think the records aren't related because in the Marriage record for Fulgenico and Cecila it states that they are both citizens of the village of ..... and therein lies my confusion or stumping.

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-11229-13419-37?cc=1410092&wc…
And to continue my dilemma in my continuing research I found a baptismal record for a Sillia Hernandes born in 1811 whose father is Jose Maria Hernandes but whose is mother is a Josefa de La Cruz.
Last entry on the second page.
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-17188-13361-42?cc=1837906&wc…
I would like to say that I've tried all the extraction methods that the family history guides provides but my limited Spanish can sometimes be a disadvantage. I've been stumped on this for a couple of weeks now and I sure would like to make some progress, so all help is appreciated.
Could someone be kind enough to help me find me way around this puzzle. Thank you.
