Rose:

I received your book in the mail yesterday. Congratulations. It is a great compilation of very valuable genealogical information.

I notice that you have Colotlan parish records listed as one of your sources and I was wondering if you could point out what branches/surnames are from Colotlan. Just curious to see if we have some common ancestors. I know that some of my Tepechitlan families must have come from Nochistlan, i.e. "Gonzalez de Yslas" etc are definitely Nochistlense names.

I highly encourage you to try to get it distributed as far and wide as possible. I recently donated copies of my book to a number of libraries including the Los Angeles Public Library and the Library of Congress.

In addition to being a great source of pride, I think it is important that that our research get recognition and shelf space. Walking into many genealogy collections at libraries would lead to you believe that the U.S. population is all of English, Irish and German descendancy.

The Library of Congress Genealogy Reading Room dedicates a whole six inches of shelf space to Mexican genealogy.

Talk to George Farias at Borderlands Books about distributing your book. He gets orders from many libraries that collect Latino/Mexican genealogical works.

The book is a great resource. It was being sold directly by Luz Montejano Hilton for about $100 plus shipping from Mexico City.

The same records that can be found in the book can now be found online in the Matrimonios volumes at https://familysearch.org/search/image/index#uri=https%3A%2F%2Ffamilysea… and are being indexed at http://www.guadalajaradispensas.com/

This is a very useful resource, unfortunately it is out of print. However, it is available in some libraries.

A according to Worldcat it is available at the Arizona State Library, Phoenix, as well as the University of Arizona Library, Tucson.

Worldcat, www.worldcat.org, is a very convenient way to locate hard to find books. Many libraries, but not all, are part of this system. If you enter your Zipcode, Worldcat gives you a list of libraries beginning with the one closest to you.

Hello Tina,

Your post was never mailed out so only people that visit this thread at http://www.nuestrosranchos.org/es/node/21546 will see the post.

There are a lot of records lost or damaged long before they started to microfilm the records so that might be why you can't find the baptism you are looking for.

Your ancestor Teresa Infante Moreno is very likely related to the Díaz-Infante family and to the Moreno de Ortega family.

The godparents of her daughter Luisa de Yepes were Bartolomé Díaz-Infante González-Soriano and María Ana de Anda Altamirano y Moreno de Ortega married 8 Jan 1708 in Lagos de Moreno.

An uncle of Bartolomé was Diego Díaz Infante Espinosa married to Teresa Moreno de Ortega Villegas 24 Nov 1651 in Lagos de Moreno.

Since Manuel Yepes and Teresa Infante Moreno had their first recorded child baptized on 24 Jan 1715 they were married the beginning in 1714 or prior to that. You should search the volumes of Información Matrimonial to see if they had a matrimonial

Kristine,

Most of the time that records aren't digitized online it is because they were lost or damaged long before they started to microfilm them. That seems to be what happened in Jerez. That is why Katy was telling you that it is likely that your only hope is finding a dispensa that mentions your ancestors.

Also, the document you linked states that Joseph Vicente was an hijo legitimo and not hijo ilegitimo. In those days illegitimate children were called hijo natural (one parent is known or both but weren't married) or hijo de padres no conocidos (neither parent is known) and not hijo ilegitimo.

Armando

esp is an abbrebiation for espanol. in that context, it means that lineage-wise the child was supposedly white.

you can learn more about the caste system here (although there are some exceptions to the rules stated on that link. for example in jerez (and other nearby towns) people with as much as 1/4 amerindian ancestry usually got the espanol label. occasionally i've seen people whomarked as espanol, then i later found out they had 50%+ amerindian ancestry)

Hello Ashlynn,

I posted most of the following in your thread at

The parents of José Ruvalcaba were Juan Antonio Rubalcava Villalobos and
Isabel Macias married 27 May 1764 in Aguascalientes.

Ashlynn,
 
Esther is right, the parents are Salvador de Mendoza and Maria Delgado. That is confirmed by the marriage  record of Apolonia de Mendoza and Jose de Robalcaba who were married on 15 Jan 1806 in Encarnacion de Diaz. Here is the link: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18564-57408-10?cc=1874591&wc…
 
Salvador de Mendoza and Maria Lopez Delgado are my 5th Great Grandparents through Apolonia's sister Maria Guadalupe de Mendoza.  I can give you a little more information, but I dead end a generation later. Salvador de Mendoza, mestizo and Maria Lopez Delgado, Española were married on 29 May 1774 at Nuestra Señora de los Dolores in Teocaltiche. Maria Lopez Delgado is the hija natural of Esteban Lopez and Rita Delgado. Salvador de Mendoza is the legitimate son of indian chieftain don Blas de Mendoza, Cacíque and Maria de Jesus Díaz, Española.
 
Actually, If anyone has the parents or knows anything about don Blas de Mendoza or Maria de Jesus Díaz, that

There's a child born 8 Apr 1816 (film # 1155174) in Encarnacion de Diaz,
Jalisco named Ma. Teodora Robalcaba Mendoza and it lists not only Jose
Robalcaba an Apolonia Mendosa but also mentions maternal grandparents as:
Salvador Mendoza and Maria Delgado.

I think that might change their marriage date to an earlier time. Another
child besides those you might already have is Rafaela Rubalcaba Mendoza,
ch. 10 Sep 1817, film # 1155174.

Hope this helps.
-Esther

Wow, we are definitely related! Jesus Gomez and Ysaac Moreno were my 2nd greatgrandparents. My greatgrandfather was their child Urbano Gomez Moreno, who married Elena Curiel. They had several children, including my grandmother Maria Luisa Gomez who married Arnulfo Apodaca. My father is their son Jose Apodaca Gomez. If you still have family in Catarina, I'm sure my father knows them. From what child of Jesus Gomez and Ysaac Moreno do you descend from?

That's great. With you, I am now related to 5 nuestros ranchos members!

Saludos.

Hello Gilberto.

I emailed you privately, through nuestros ranchos but I'm not sure I did it right. Your profile caught my attention because I notice that you have ancestors in Zacoalco and Santa Catarina. Several of my surnames come from this area, especifically from Santa Catarina: Apodaca, Gomez, Moreno, Cervantes, Bonal, Salazar. You can check part of my family tree in the files section and compare it with your genealogy to see if we probably have a common ancestor. I hope we can compare and share some of our research in the future.

Saludos

Hi Derdra, while researching my ancestors in Jocotepec Jalisco I ran in to an Augustin Godoy baptized April 8 1685 son of Joseph Godoy and Maria de Lipe.
There are other Godoy's.
I know it is a little before your Augustin, but you never know.
Good luck.
Carmen Mosqueda

Hello Sylvia, I too am doing a majority of my research in Jerez and Tepetongo and can tell you that Carlos Godoy is a very common name for this area. in the 1800's I found that the Godoy was dropped from a lot of the names and they just used Carlos. I have a lot of Carlos on my tree but not an Augustin. I don't think that Lugarda is a very common name for that part of Zacatecas however.

Sorry I wasn't able to offer any information on Augustin.

Good Luck,
Barbara

Welcome to the group, prima!

I want to welcome you to the group-- I did respond to your other message about Agustin Villegas. I just wanted to let you know that we are related through this family and through the Quesadas and Banuelos, and maybe others. This also means you are related to the founder of this group, Joseph Puentes, as he is descended from the Banuelos family.

There are many of us in the group who share this genealogy; I am sure they will introduce themselves. If you would like to compare notes between our genealogical trees, just message me through the group-- I do have Mauricio and Luisa in my tree.

Hi Juan Carlos, just wondering if the de Leon is spanish for Lyon and is it possible they are related to the Lyon branch that sailed from England and settled in Roxbury Massachusetts in the 1630's. I am a descendant of that branch of the Lyon. I can trace my line back to the year 986.
Apparently the first spelling of the name was Leuoine from Normandy (France).
Later in England it was changed to "de Lyoun" and "de Lyon" and finally around 1300's just Lyon.
Good luck in your search.

Carmen

Hello Joseph de Leon,

Si a bien lo tienes, mandame los datos que necesitas de Leon, tengo 30 años consultando el archivo parroquial del Sagrario, pero ademas,desde 1865, existen las Parroquias de San Francisco del Barrio del Coecillo y la de San Miguel en el Barrio de San Miguel,que son las que pueden ser de tu interes.

Have you posted the GEDCOM file online somewhere so we can look at it?

It sounds like an amazing resource that would benefit, well just about everyone working in that part of Nueva Galicia.

Wonderful work!!! I know burials are hard to come by because it is only after searching page by page. It is so nice to be part of a group whose members are willing to collaborate. This is why I absolutely love Nuestros Ranchos--for all of the great people.
