Emilie,
?
I see that you mention some Llanos Valdes in your ancestors, I?m interested in that family because I?ve been tracing the roots of? some very good friends from Morelia,? Mex who are descended from Juan Jos? Llanos Valdes y Agustina Carlos de Godoy , more exactly, from a daughter of this couple, but I haven?t found yet the name of her; I?ve seen that they had a daughter Felipa but don?t know the name of her husband, I only know that the last name of Felipa?s husband (or her sister?s husband) was Erazo and that they had at least one child : Don Rafael de Erazo y Llanos Vald?s who was the father of don Clemente de Llanos Vald?s who came to in?Morelia with his great-uncle : Jacinto de Llanos Vald?s, and here Clemente?became a Supreme Court Judge and originated the above mentioned family.
Don Jacinto de Llanos Valdes was the brother of the?lady who gave birth to Don Rafael de Erazo y Llanos Valdes; my question is : Do you happen to have the ?names of the children of Juan Jos? y Agustina or some information about the Erazos ?
?

Armando,

Thanks again for explaining about the nucleobases not being the same as the haplogroups.

Now I have a question about Family Finder.  Is that part of FamilyTreeDNA on their website?  Does it cost extra?  I only signed up for the $99.00 kit when it went on sale for half price a few months ago.  I am on a fixed income.  In this economy $100 dollars is a lot of money for something we don't really "need", which is why it is difficult to get people to do it.

I did a Google search for a haplogroup T and I found an explanation on Wilipedia.  Apparently they are from India? and were the first people to develop agriculture.  Maybe that is why I love to pull weeds and work in my garden.  The T I think is part of the list of "mutations" they sent me, along with A and G and C, but now I think I am back to confusing the nucleobases and haplogroups.

Attached is the link to the frenchman I was referring to who was from Jalpa Zacatecas and he married in Nochistlan. He married an Olasava, and It's one of my distant relatives, that's why I bothered to read the entry. See the name Blondel from Obisbpado de Land, Francia, the date is 11 Nov 1886.

Adjunto se encuentra el enlace para la partida de Matrimonio de el primer Frances que he encontrado en los archivos de Nochistlan, Zacatecas. La fecha es del 11 de Noviembre de 1886, originario de Land Francia con el nombr de Marcelino Blondel, caso con Agustina Olasava de Tlachichila, Zac.

I cant seem to find any church records for Tomatlan, Jalisco. I heard the church had burned however am unsure if all records were lost. Or is there another church that was used for marriages, baptisms and deaths? Any information would be helpful. Thank you.

Thank you, Joseph...well said! Anna Miklovic

Seldom do I get involved in interfering with a topic, but I was wondering if
there is an interest in setting up a subset of the group that would have
FULL rein to talk about anything absolutely no restrictions??? IF so please
email me PRIVATELY at joseph@nuestrosranchos.org and I'll put you on a list.
If there is enough interest (five or more) then I'll create a yahoo group
and you all can go at it, free-for-all.

In the meantime why don't we move on from the FRENCH thread or those
involved/interested can take it to private email.

Email me and I'll set up that list for y'all.

Hello Everyone,
I know this family line has been talked about before on here.
I was recently able to trace my great-grandmother's family all the
way back to a Ysidro Miramontes who married Bernarda de Avila on
Jan.21,1709 in Tlaltenango, Zac. The record states his parents are
Lorenzo de Miramontes and Maria de Santiago.
Using the Gedcom database on here I found a Lorenzo Miramontes but
he's married to an Ana Diaz de Santiago. The name is somewhat similar
and I wonder if they are the same couple. Ysidro Miramontes is not
listed in the Tlaltenango Families database but I believe he could be
their son. Any helpful information would be appreciated.

Armando,

Thanks again for explaining about the nucleobases not being the same as the haplogroups.

Now I have a question about Family Finder. Is that part of FamilyTreeDNA on their website? Does it cost extra? I only signed up for the $99.00 kit when it went on sale for half price a few months ago. I am on a fixed income. In this economy $100 dollars is a lot of money for something we don't really "need", which is why it is difficult to get people to do it.

I did a Google search for a haplogroup T and I found an explanation on Wilipedia. Apparently they are from India? and were the first people to develop agriculture. Maybe that is why I love to pull weeds and work in my garden. The T I think is part of the list of "mutations" they sent me, along with A and G and C, but now I think I am back to confusing the nucleobases and haplogroups.

My father's surname is Olague, and in the 1980s I went to the Navarre area in Spain where a Spanish friend from Pamplona told me her folks had a "chalet" near a town called Olague. They thought my husband was the Olague since he is fair, and they didn't realize I was the Olague. They all had bright blue eyes, and were mostly dairy farmers. We saw lots of spotted cows walking back to the barns by themselves past modern houses with TV antennas and nice small cars in the driveways. They were busy preparing for some kind of festival in front of the only public building we saw, kind of like a bar/inn, white plaster with pretty flowers in planters along the balcony, the men dressed in white with red bandanas and berets on their heads. They were nice, but we didn't get any information; they were just pleased we liked their little town, etc.

The Olagues came to the New World in the early 1500s and settled in Panuco, Zacatecas. There were some Olague brothers who were in the Onate party that went to Santa Fe in 1580 or so, but they soon abandoned the colony and went back to "civilization" in Zacatecas. Someone in Mexico told me that all Olagues in Mexico are the descendants of these people. However, I have been unable to bridge the gap between the Olagues in the Onate party and the most distant of my father's ancestors of that surname in Zacatecas.

My father told me he was a mestizo, but he also said that his great-grandfather was called "el frances" because he was fair with blue eyes. My father was born almost blond and his eyes were the color of coffee with lots of cream in it; his grandmother gave my mother a lock of his baby hair; it was very light tan, tied with a little ribbon. I don't know what happened to that lock of hair, but it would be useless for DNA testing since it had to have been cut and not pulled. However, in my research of his lines, I found no French at all, only mostly espanoles, very few yndio and one line, the Surianos, had many individuals labeled "mulato". He did say that his surname was "un nombre basco". I heard him tell a priest that.

You know, I do have my father's watch, his wallet, his eyeglasses. I wonder if anyone could pull DNA from that, but I think FamilyTreeDNA can only use the oral swabs for genealogical testing.

With the help of several members of Nuestros Ranchos, I was able to trace my Olagues back to a Pedro Olague who was a captain or something in some town in Zacatecas in the late 1600s, but not in Jerez where my father was born in 1903. Pedro's wife was a Maria Haro I think. Mostly my father's people lived near Jerez in a place called Tepetongo and Salitrillo. Also, in researching my father's Llanos y Valdez I found they linked to a line of Olague Etulain. Maybe Pedro was related to them.

I have an image of a marriage record, but I am having trouble understanding the handwriting. Is there someone here who can translate the document for me. I can read and understand Spanish, but the handwriting of this time is giving me a headache. I will email the file to anyone who is interested in helping. Thanks in advance.

I was raised to say Mande Usted whenever my parents or elders called me. It was a sign of respect, but also good breeding (bien criado) per my mother. She would get disgusted whenever she would hear my cousins (who were also raised in the US) say "Que?" To respond, "Que" was considered rude and low class unless you were speaking to another kid.
After taking countless Spanish classes in the US, I learned to say, "como?" but always reserved the Mande Usted for my elders. "Diga" somehow sounded a bit rude and condescending to me. It's almost like you're telling folks to spit it out and say what you want. My parents would never say this even to me as their child.
I guess it varies from culture to culture. My parents are/were from Los Altos de Jalisco. I find that we're a bit more stuffy than other folks from the rest of Mexico and Latin America. I learned of other examples as I began to learn Spanish as a second language.
In present day Mexico, I don't think it has anything to do with nobility or social status. I still hear my cousins in Mexico use this term even with me when we're the same age.

Roy,

You mentioned differences in usage of words in Spain vs Mexico in addressing people.

There is one other thing that I was aware of growing up with a Native American mother from New Mexico and a Basque-mestizo-mulato father from Zacatecas. He would scold us if we said, "Que?". He insisted we say "mande usted", but my mother refused to do that. She would say "nadie me manda". She would say "como?" or "que?". I noticed in Spain they don't use that term, "mande", and since the New Mexico "manitos" used an old Spanish dialect and were isolated for so long from the centers in Mexico, if that is the reason.

In our Spanish class in school, we learned to say "Como?" or "perdon?", not "Mande", and I noticed in Spain they used the term "Como?" or "diga?".

I also had a maid that insisted on calling me Dona Emilia when I told her to call me Emilia. She could have called me "senora". I felt uncomfortable with the "dona", but then I wondered if she was being sarcastic.

Hi Emile and Roy,

In my house growing up in East L. A. mom would always make us respond to her with ?Mande usted ?she would get furious with us if we didnt . She would say it was a form of respect . I have several good friends from Colombia and from other South American countries that tell me that they never use that phrase and the reason Mexicans use it, is because of the domination of the spanish people .
I dont know if thats true or not but thats what they tell me . Anyone else have any ideas ?

el libro de los Valdes de Jalisco, segun esto son solamente de la linea Valdes, no como los de Zacatecas que iniciamos con los Llanos de Valdes y en 1750 aproximadamente la mayoria se queda con el Valdes com es en mi caso, pero tengo entendido que el libro marca tambien algun Llanos de Valdes como ancestro, si tienes el libro transcribeme esa parte nadamas o copia dela pagina

My apologies in advance.  I'm sure this has been discussed/explained before, but this is the first time I've run across it.  I'm trying to figure out exactly what would the relationship be in "tercer conguanto de consanguinidad de que eran lejodos".  There is no informacion matrimonial records available (or at least online) to offer more information on the couple, only the matrimonio.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks so much.    Alice

Hey Everyone,

I've been doing a lot of digging into old films and have been trying to track down my great great grandmother, who is a big mystery seeing as how she died shortly after giving birth to my great grandfather. How shortly is beyond me, my grandfather and his brothers all say different things varying from right after child birth to a month later.

The name of my great grandfather was Fidel Gonzalez Gonzalez, he was born on April 24th, 1918 in Uribes, Villa Guerrero, Jalisco.

His father Bernardo Gonzalez Flores, also born in Uribes, was the son of Felipe Gonzalez Pinedo and Andrea Flores Mayorga. Bernardo died in August 8th, 1935

His birth still boggles me as there appear to be 3 different possible years he was born (86,88, and the least likely 80) though all 3 of my sources confirm it's the same person.

Fidel also had two sisters, which I believe were full sisters based from what I recall at his eulogy and the way my grandfather spoke of them:
Soledad Gonzalez about 1912
Gabriela Gonzalez about 1906

I, however, am not sure how reliable their birth dates are as they come from the same source saying that Bernardo was born in in 1880.

The person I'm trying to find is Fidel's mother. I know her last name is Gonzalez but am not sure about her first name. An aunt told me that it was Asuncion, however, this has not yielded any results. Recently I found a marriage record for Bernardo Gonzalez marrying a "Presentacion Gonzalez" but a lot of the terminology is beyond my Spanish:

(https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1951-21312-53450-40?cc=1918187…) Upper right hand corner

I was wondering if someone could translate this for me or if anyone is familiar with this certain family.

Thanks,

Martin Gonzalez

Diego Alonso del Pedroso (alternately, Diego Alonso Ramires del Pedroso) and Phelipa Hernandes de Rueda had (at least) three known children in Jalos (la Estancia de Coca): Juan Cayetano, Dionisio (bap. 1701), and Diego Alonso (bap. 1705). The latter two baptisms are documented.

Does anyone have any documentary evidence of the lineage of this couple? I am stuck at the moment.

Hey everybody,

Recently I have been trying to do research on the side of my family that isn't originally from the Totatiche/Temastian/Villa Guerrero area. They all come from Bolaños, Jalisco. Specifically, I've been trying to trace down my mother's Guzman branch.

Her grandfather was named Benito Guzman, born 1916 16 Jan in Bolaños, Jalisco and died 2007 23 Jun he married Aurea Ramos born in 1920, daughter of Porfirio Ramos 1895 and Mercedes Perez 1899.

Benito's father was also named Benito Guzman, and was born around 1880 and his mother was named Agapita Quintero and was born around 1887.

Other than this, I know that Benito Guzman Sr's father was named Gerardo Guzman. I had asked my grandfather and his brother if they knew the name of the mother or any other relatives but they blanked. I did find this though and my mom's uncle said the name sounded really familiar (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/N811-QQR)

If it would be helpful I can provide the names and birth dates of Benito's siblings.

It's only by fate that I find myself at Nuestros Ranchos.
I took my wife to see "For Greater Glory" and came home to start researching the period. Among the numerous websites that came up on Google was NR and I was hooked.

I've been researching my maternal family (Italian) for over ten years but never had much information on my paternal side.

My paternal grandmother Dolores Villasenor was never married to the man that fathered my father. She left my father with his grandmother Martina Perez in 1924 and came to the U.S. to start a new life. She went back to Totatiche for my father in 1931. My father was raised as Rogaciano Villasenor and took the name Roy Villasenor Rodriguez when he was naturalized as a U.S. citizen during WWII. Rodriguez was the name of the man who eventually married my grandmother. My father spoke very little of the War and of his childhood in Mexico. One thing he did tell me was that we had both Spanish and Indian blood in our genes.

Time has taken it's toll on my memory, but I think my grandmother once told me that my grandfather was killed in the revolution. It was this vague memory that got me curious about this man my father never knew.

So, about three weeks ago, I went to FamilySearch and started looking. I immediately found my father as well as his older brother and sister - both listed as father unknown. Fortunately, my father's father was listed - Jesus del Real from Tlaltenango de Sanchez Roman, Zacatecasas. At last..my family lineage is clear! Now to find out what really happened to Jesus. I can not find his death record to document his death during the Christeros.

I've been going through Jalisco records day and night ever since and have gotten a great start to my tree, going back to my 4x Great Grandparents about 1770-1790.

Regrettably, I do not speak Spanish as my father did not want to teach us. He studied very hard to learn English. He was very proud of his WWII service, loved his adopted country, and wanted to assimilate into American life.

With great anticipation, I seek to communicate with any relatives.

Regarding the movie: It was very enjoyable to watch, provided a somewhat accurate depiction of events, but more importantly it got me to do my own research.

Best regards to all,

Hello everyone,

I would like to introduce myself. My name is Martin Gerardo Gonzalez Guzman. I am a 21 year old college student from California and have a great deal of interest in family history, especially because up until two months ago, I didn't think I had any family history.

At the moment, I am doing research on my Totatiche, Jalisco Branches, seeing as how 5/8 of my great-grandparents were born there (with another one being from Villa Guerrero and the other two from Bolanos)

Here is the research I have done so far on my great-grandfather Leodegario Gutierrez using help from the LDS site and Ancestry.com:

I have more research on the way as soon as I get it all cleaned up.

Happy Research,

Martin
