My father was born in Tepatitlan de Morelos, Jalisco and is
Haplogroup J2b1b (old J2e2). His father and grandfather were born in
the Guadalajara area. Are there any other members with this
Haplogroup? I'm hoping someone else from this area tests and I can
find some relatives.

Dear Group--

I have a file in the members genealogy area and this
URL is enclosed:
http://www.nuestrosranchos.org/node/15338

My husband and I just returned from a trip to the
municipios of Atotonilco el Alto and Ayotlan, Jalisco.
Besides visiting with relatives, mostly on the Garcia
side and asking for their information, we stopped in
at the small town of Margaritas. We wanted to get the
birth and death records of my husband's eldest sister
born in September 1949.

The clerk took the information I had written down,
used her computer to find the exact books, made a copy
of the information from the books, cut the two copies
to be glued onto the official acts, made new copies to
be given to us and charged 45 pesos for each one. The
process was quick and reliable. We wanted to give her
a small monetary gift but she refused. Next time we
will take along something sweet to eat, to express our
thankfulness.

Hope this takes care of my requirement to be a part of
the group before the cutoff date of 31 Jan 2007. I
will be sending in additional information for the
files, as I learn more about the process.

Sincerely,
Patricia Diane Godinez AKA Patricia Burton

A few days before Christmas my aunt (age 80 yrs - but she thinks I don't know how old she is) had a mild stroke. Fortunately the rescue units arrived promptly and she received immediate care. She is currently in a rehabilitation center receiving various therapies. My aunt is the last of her generation - she is my late father's youngest sister. Unlike my father, she did not have a deep interest or curiosity regarding family history, though she has shared some of her memories with me when I have made inquiries - however, I don't always remember to phrase questions "properly", that is, to ilicit an informative response.
Now - it just occured to me that when she dies (which I don't expect to happen soon), I WILL BECOME the family elder, as I am the eldest of the family of my generation - kind of a scary thought.
SO - are any of YOU the FAMILY ELDER? How do you feel about that role? I guess I better get cracking on my research.

Just my 2 centavos.

Anna and I are going on the Trip within the week.

Our trip will include Tlaltenango. Tepechitlan,
Teolcalteche, Juarez, Rincon de Romos. Jalisco, Los
Altos, Teul, Florencio, Zacatecas, and Aquas
Calientes, and other pueblos.. I plan to follow the
route initially submitted in July or August of last

Jose,

Needles to say I am jealous and at the same time grateful that you are doing this for the Ranchos Group. I still don't know if I will be able to take this trip in summer of 2007 but I appreciate that you are doing the legwork in preparation for those who might wish to take this trip as a group this summer.

Hopefully you can scout the hotels in the different cities and we look forward to any other details and tips you can pick up in anticipation of this summer's tour.

For those who don't know about this trip, we had imagined early in 2006 a Nuestros Ranchos Group dream trip in the summer of 2007 to our target research areas of Mexico and at the time it seemed so far away. Well now it's almost here and things have changed drastically in my life to the point that I don't know if I will be able to take this trip, but Jose Muñoz and his wife Anna have agreed to help with some of the mapping and logistics of this trip and are soon to be on their way to scout the roads, hotels and eateries and anything else they can glean from their road trip. Jose and Anna, have a safe trip and we look forward to hearing from you upon your return.

Good luck and happy tripping,
Alicia,

The last ten days of December were crazy-busy around here - what with trying to get ready for our Christmas celebrations, shopping, going to grandkids programs, baking, shopping, getting ready for houseguests (daughter, SIL, 2 beautiful grand-daughters, ages 3-1/2 and 1-1/2), did I mention shopping... anyway - I wasn't taking time to read the Ranchos messages. So today - I finally took time (about the last 3-1/2 hours) to read all of the messages - what wonderful and inspiring messages. As I read some of the messages pertaining to travel, I was wondering how the plans for the RANCHOS RESEARCH trip were progressing - is that still a go? I know I can't participate this year - too many commitments for 2007 already - but I sure would like to hear about what's in the works.
As for me - I just called the local FHC, and films I ordered in mid-Nov are finally in - so I hope to view them soon. FYI - I have the following films: # 1164728 (Reg. Parroquiales, la Purisima, Valparaiso, Zac., Bautismos, 1870-1876); and #1164741 (same location, Informacion Matrimonial, 1878-1892). It has been quite a while since I have looked at films - and I wonder if you have some tips to share about the BEST way to RECORD INFORMATION from the films, and the BEST way to COMPILE the information. Please share your RESEARCH ideas/methods that work - I am always looking for ways to work smarter (not harder). Y'all take care - may you experience many blessings this year.

Mexican Youth Proves He Could Stand Great Test
Headboard Erected by Col. Sam Robertson Tells
Story of Marvelous Bravery of Fifteen-Year-Old Boy

EDITOR'S NOTE-The following story will interest Oklahoma City
overseas men who knew Colonel Sam Robertson. This little document
is one of these poignant human stories which grip the heart. It is
from The Brownsville, Texas, Herald, and was passed on by
General Roy Hoffman.

In the American National cemetery at Romange, France, lies the
body of Solomon Lerma, a Mexican boy, a native of the state of
Zacatecas, a derelict from the Villista army, which attacked Matamoros,
a hero who risked his life to save that of an American friend, and
who died in February, 1918, in a hospital in France after being
twice wounded and gassed. He was 15 years of age at the time of
his death.
Major M.T. Todd, now medical officer at Fort Brown, was assigned
to receive the bodies of American soldiers as they were being con-
centrated for burial in the American National cemeteries in France.
All marks of identification were brought to him by the details which
were removing the bodies from their temporary burial places on the
battle line, and one day his attention was called to a headboard
which was brought in with the body of a mere boy. The inscription
on the headboard read as follows:

NOTAS SUELTAS DE LA CRONOLOGÍA FAMILIAR DE LOS
ROMO DE VIVAR-RANGEL EN LA NUEVA ESPAÑA

Felipe Reyes Romo

1583 / Se otorga en la Cd. De México un poder de Juan Rangel a Marcos de
Biesma.

1584 / Merced de la Real Audiencia, año de 1584, a Juan Rangel Peguero de
un sitio de estancia para ganado menor en términos de Pachuca, cerca de los
de Tilquautla, con la posesión que tomó, y la información que dio doña
Francisca Velázquez de Salazar de como le pertenecía a ella y a sus hijos.

1584 / Merced de tierras en favor de Juan Rangel Pegueros compartiendo la
con Rodrigo Yáñez

1589 / Diego Romo de Vivar nace el 12 de marzo en Rielves Toledo, España.
Muere en Santa Maria del Río Florido, Chihuahua, México. Fue bautizado en la
parroquia de Rielves, España el 12 de marzo
1589; sus padres fueron Diego Romo y Catalina Pérez. Su esposa fue María
Rangel Peguero. Nota de Connie Domíngez “1608 / I've never seen an exact DOB
on Diego Romo de Vivar. All I've seen is a birth year, 1608. But your date
is probably more accurate. Maybe him, or his father”.

1601 / En 1601 don Pedro Matheos de Ortega recibió algunas mercedes por las
haciendas de Las Chinampas, Las Peñuelas y Villa de San Felipe, Las
Peñuelas y El Pabellón. La otra, la de los Rincón procedentes de la capital
del reino, aparece cuando don Francisco Rincón se casó con doña María de
Ortega, hija de don Pedro Matheos. De esta unión nacieron dos varones: Pedro
y Agustín. Uno se consagró a la Iglesia: entró en 1620 al convento de los
mercedarios como novicio, aunque después abandonó el claustro y entró al
clero secular. El otro, Agustín, se consagró al gobierno: fue alcalde mayor
de Aguascalientes y después corregidor de Zacatecas, y aunque se casó con
doña Leonor Caballero, no dejó descendencia. Aquí se habría acabado la
familia Rincón de Ortega, si no hubiera sido porque tenían un medio hermano
de padre, don Juan Rincón de Vivar, a quien tocó la herencia de sus dos
medios hermanos. El abuelo don Pedro Matheos de Ortega empezó a acumular
mercedes de tierras: el 20 de febrero de 1601 recibió una merced en las
Peñuelas, tres días después recibió otra en la Cañada de las Chinampas .
Pasados cuatro años obtuvo permiso de regar sus labores de trigo, construir
un molino de pan y fabricar un ingenio de beneficio de sacar plata en el
puesto de Chinampas.

Peter Gerhard described early Aguascalientes history in "The North Frontier of New Spain." On Oct. 22, 1575, La Villa de Aguascalientes was created by decree and affiliated with nearby Santa Maria de los Lagos (now Lagos de Moreno). The first notice of a parish at Asunción was circa 1605, but chaplains served various presidios before that. Bernal Sánchez spoke of a priest at the Villa in 1601, but as we all know, the marriages and baptisms we now have access to only begin in 1616.

It is believed that the Chichimecs at contact numbered about 8,500 (this would have been Guachichiles, Zacatecas and probably some Caxcanes). Gerhard writes that "the period 1561-1589 was one of retrenchment when some haciendas were abandoned." Aguascalientes was founded in 1575 but was reduced to only two vecinos and 16 soldados in 1582-1585. After that, the war subsided and hostilities withdrew north, with the last Indian attack taking place in 1593.

Gerhard notes that "Peace brought a tide of Spanish settlers beginning in the 1590s, mostly cattlemen and farmers, together with Indian (mainly Náhuatl-speaking) and Negro retainers." The Villa became "inhabited by powerful hacendados who monopolized land and water."

Gaspar de la Fuente claims that in 1610, he found 24 or 25 Spanish vecinos, about 50 families of mestizos, over 100 mulatos, 20 Negro slaves and only 10 Indians in La Villa. He explained that "most of these people worked on neighboring haciendas."

Gerhard writes, "By 1681 various haciendas [of Aguascalientes] had chapels and resident clergy." The 1760 Parish census showed 640 Indians and 5,386 non-Indian families for a total of 20,411 "personas de comunión y confesión" - not including Ciénega de Mata. Including infants this may have represented 34,000 persons.

The 1770 census gave a total of 28,074.

The 1790 census gives: 25,715 people, made up of:

1. 10,004 Spaniards
2. 8,617 Indians
3. 3,357 Mulattoes
4. 3,737 Others

I have just found a 1906 Valle de Guadalupe baptism that lists my maternal grandfather-in-law and mother-in-law as sponsors and gives me some info about them, but I need a little help. The microfilm is poor and flowering script is almost driving me mad. Here is what I think it says .....padrinos Julian Alviso casada labrador de cuarenta an~os originario de San Miguel y su esposa Catarina Jauregui de veinte y ocho an~os de edad originaria del hijo de Ayaca y vecinos de Mexcala......

I am pretty sure it states Julian is married, a farmer and 40 years old from San Miguel, and his wife, Catarina Jauregui is 28 years old. But then it says Catarina is a "son of Ayaca"? The word hijo is questionable as the h and i are looped together at the beginning which looks like a large "o" with a small "o" inside, but the "jo" at the end is definite. I tried to find Ayaca out on the Interent, but I could not find the place name even in the little site listed from a previous Nuestros forum topic. Is anyone familiar with the term or place Ayaca? I have found it referenced as a type of tree. Also, why would Catarina be listed as a hijo and not a hija? The place Mexcala is the Ranch where most of the younger children were born.

Thanks again for any help!

Hi Alicia and Welester and Ranchos Group,

I was just in Monterrey,as part of the Chicago educators and Mexican Fine
Arts Museum delegation dedicating an exhibit to Monterrey's exhibit on our
African legacy. Please check this out Welester while the exhibit is still there
(right across the street from the state capitol building). It is beautiful
and very enlightening, particularly for those of us with limited information
of our African legacy in Mexico.

I have shared many of my resources with my district's curriculum director.
However, Joseph, I have two CD's about this (African legacy in Mexico), plus
an enormous amount of wonderful photos I took. Please let me know how I can
share with the group. The CD's have music and voice to them...I have some
beautiful photos of Santiago...I believe another member of the group mentioned
they have family from there. In addition, I was fortunate enough to speak
personally with Santiago's historian..anyone with questions, let me know.

Perhaps one of the nicest things I got to do was to interview an elder from
this side of the family in Monterrery- I learned some additional information
that would normally not be shared...additionally, I got a photo of my great
great aunt whose last name was Elizondo Elizondo - she was not only beautiful,
but I was amazed how much our gene pool skips first generation and resembles
2nd and 3rd generation. I was able to take a photo of the painting...

Also, I attended my mom's funeral shortly after I returned from Mexico.
There were originally 10 siblings, now there is only one. This is the reason
why I was unable to contact the group earlier. My mother and an aunt are the
last of the Luna/Herrera's 2nd generation that came from my grandparents
(Manuel Luna Herrera and Norberta Herrera Luna were the 1st generation) that were
born in the Tlaltenango, Zacatecas. I took pictures of the family during
this occasion, I can certainly forward them to the group as well. Perhaps one of
you might look one of us?

Are the Banauelos related tothe Trevinos way back in the 1500s? Some children of Diego Tevino and
Francisca Alcocer took Trevino and others Banuelos? I think Francisca Alcocer died in Guadalajara in mid 1500s. SOme of her sons moved to Zacatecas city. Diego Trevino, the son for one. Children of
DIego Trevino the son, Jose Trevino and his wife Lenor Ayala for one moved on to Monterrey around 1600. I am looking for veriffication of parentage of Diego Trevino, Sr and his wife Francisca Alcocer.
John Inclan claims Diego Trevino decends from the Bernardino Fernandez Velasco, 3rd count Haro.
Francisca Alcocer is said to descend from Henery II and Eleanor of Acquitiane through daughter Eleanor.

Maureen,

I think that most every municipio had an Ojo de Agua and maybe even several Ojos de Agua so it may be a hard thing to pinpoint. Also don't put too much emphasis on Ojo de Agua because people moved around from one rancho to another. For my grandfather I have seen about 5 different names of different ranchos when his children were born. One would say originario del Caquiste another would say originario de La Noche Buena another El Salitre and another would say Rancho Las Pilas and so on. According to mom and my aunts and uncles he did not live in all of these and mostly lived in El Rancho del Caquiste and was born in El Salitre.

So yes there are ojos de agua everywhere...........enjoy the search process and learn in the process.

Alicia,
San Jose, Calif.

Dear Linda and Emilie,
I think there are more ponds in Mexico than there are in Northwest Indiana! I think the most likely Ojo de Agua is the one just south of Tepatitlan, but I could be wrong. I still have 5 more years to look at on the microfilm, so after the holiday I will be able to finish viewing the film and maybe it will give me more clues. Catarina's brothers Vicente and Julian and her sisters Ambrosia and Trinidad were also in Valle de Guadalupe so much of the family had relocated to Valle de Guadalupe. Someone is bound to have a more descriptive baptism.

My mom is from England and her relatives from England and Australia refer to the Atlantic Ocean as the Big Pond. Now just think, hundreds of years from now, future generations are going to read some of those letters and will be trying to figure out what exactly was the Big Pond!
