Is there a way one can associate ranchos of yesteryear with ranchos of
today, in lieu of name changes to many towns/ranchos/and pueblos as a result of
the revolutionary war?
In particular, I am wondering if I can visit what used to be called Rancho
Hello, I have come to the attention that this is something i need to ask for questioning. As my family knows that in our entire pedigree is really intermarriage my parents, grandparents, grt grandparents, etc... I was wondering why would people marry inside family? I was always confused. I do find it very fascinating though when doing genealogy especially when doing genealogy. because its really fun playing around with the intermarriage. I think of it as a giant puzzle and trying to put it together. Although I did find it confusing at first but then learned alot. I was just wondering why was this a custom or practice? My family still does this. I did also hear someone said if you practice Incestry then the child will become deformed or something like that. But we all have came out perfectly fine. My grandfather said something in the early colonial Mexico they Espanoles would marry inside the family to keep something he called quote "La puresa de sangre" although i do not know what that really means at this moment. He said that they didnt like to mix with Indians or Mulatos. Which is prob a little racist. I hope I can get a response. Thanks for all your help in the past. Thanks to this group I have already made connections with over half tof the group so far. Through the Lopez de Elizalde, Ruiz de Esparza, Trevino, de la Garza, Mendoza, and all the other lines etc.

Hola Tomas,
Nosotros hemos comunicado antes. Tenemos parentesco por los
Gomez (nuestros antecedentes, Manuel Gomez y Catalina
Hurtado-de-Mendoza). Yo me imagino que el Censo Americano podria
asistir en esto. Quizas alguien mas pueda ayudar en como se hace esto.
Tomas Alejandro Villegas Gomez (Vigotal) pide ayuda para investigar sobre familiares que se fueron a Estados Unidos hace unos cien anos y solamente presenta los nombres de 3 personas.
Esta clase de peticion no me parece que entra dentro de los propositos de temas genealogicos de este foro y el no provee informacion acerca de estas personas que pueda ser de ayuda a un investigador (tal como fechas y lugares de sus nacimientos, lugar de procedimiento en Mexico, nombre de los padres, etc.) y bajo esas condiciones tales busquedas globales a traves de una nacion jigante como USA son dificeles/imposibles.
Hola a Todos en el grupo:
Disculpen la molestia, quisiera saber si alguien puede
orientarme para ver la forma de investigar sobre familiares
que se fueron a vivir a Estados Unidos desde las primeras
I'm asking for your comments to be sent to Lynn Turner.

I hope I have done this correctly.This is to Leticia Reynoso ,Where do your Reynoso Lines originate from ? Are your Reynoso ancestors Francisco married to Josepha Renteria (jalisco)or Diego Reynoso married to Margarita Renteria and wed in zacatecas.
I am making the switch from a PC to a Mac... not as extreme as it may seem since the new Macs run Windows and Windows applications natively in addition to Mac operating system and software. But I would like to find some good genealogy software that I can use on the Macintosh side of the system.

Hi,
I have traced the ancestry of some of the Rivas of Coahuila and Nuevo Leon to Rivas or de la Riva of Durango and the Quinones of Durango. Antonio Manual and Julian Rivas of Galeana, NL were born in Durango to Pedro Rivas and Maria Quinones who were married in 1723 at San Francisco de Asis, San Juan Del Rio, Durango. The records there only go to the late 1670's. Records for Nazas go to 1690s.
Hello Arturo
I will call you. I emailed you and it was returned. A lot has happened

That's a good story. I remember my dad (a white German) howling, too, when
the mariachis would sing and play at our church fiestas. He may have had a
beer or two, but he would let out that characteristic howl, can't put it

I wanted to thank everyone for helping me with those translations. I

I am aware that the Northern California (NorCal) group had a meeting in March, but don't remember seeing a follow-up report - did I miss it? where would I find it?
Are there any other regional meetings being planned this year ... just in case I might be in your area at the same time as a planned meeting - I'd like to join in, if possible. Just trying to plan ahead ; - )

Victoriano,
I can think of various translations of the verb "velar."
1.- [common] To stay awake, not to sleep; even as when "working the 'third
shift.' "
2.- [religion] To keep vigil. As in Rosaries and accompanying the body
I had some difficulty translating a couple of phrases found in parish
marriage records. I discovered they are Latin phrases that seem to be
terms used in parish documents that have specific meaning. I found some of
Being new to this group, I am somewhat hesistant to post anything and, thereby, annoy the membership! However, it doesn't make any sense to join and then sit back and wait...Anyway, I can find no more info on my great-grandparents and thought someone here might have some suggestions on how to find something when the information is so sparse. So, here goes...
I have just uncovered an ancestor who was married prior to her 12th birthday in the early eighteen hundreds. My genealogy software keeps giving a warning on this record. It seems many women were married around 15 or 16 years old during this time. This is the first one that was so young, but I know that it happened in Appalacian Mountains even up to the 1900's. I have not ordered the films yet to check for the accuracy and whether this is the right family, but has anyone else run across marriages where the bride was so young?
Does anyone know anything about this Family in aguascalientes. I had a Diaz line in Jalisco which eventually made it self back to Aguascalientes into the compund surname diaz de tiscareno:
