Ola to all Ranchos Members,
My name is Yolanda Gomez, and I am married to Jose Nicolas Gomez.
Jose was born in Mexticacan, Jalisco. Mexico in 1947, and we still 
visit Mexticacan, Yahulica, Los Charcos, Jalostitlan, etc.
I will post his genealogy, which is only to his great-great parents, 
however he has the names of aunts and uncles of his parents and 
grand-parents. His grandfather is still alive and lives near 
Mexticacan. Both his parents are still alive, however they relocated 
to Guadalajara, however remain in close contact with family and 
friends in Mextcicacan, Yahulica, etc.
I hope to learn from each of you.
Yolly

Jessica:

I think you are going to have somewhat of a difficult time since I 
think that the Valparaiso films are not indexed in familysearch.  I 
know that Ed Serros is researching family in that parrish so he can 
probably give you some better tips about what to do, but it may 
entail simply ordering the films and going through them.  Many of the 
books from the 19th century have indexes by name, so perhaps it is 
not as daunting as it may seem.

Good luck.

Hi all,
My name is Jessica Castaneda. I am just starting to try and do 
genealogy research on my husbands family from Zacatecas, Mexico. I 
have worked on my lines before but I feel I am in a completely new 
ballpark now. I have been reading your postings and am excited to be 
able to learn from you all. A little bit about myself- I have a one 
year old who is currently teething, my husband and I are in the 
process of buying a house and moving, and I work coordinating 
educational programs from migrant children in TN. I met my husband 
teaching English.That's enough about me.. What I know about my 
husbands family is this. (not much)

His fathers name is Crescencio Castaneda-Salazar. Mothers name is 
Juana Hernandez de Leon. They currently reside in Chihuahua but his 
father was born in Valparaiso Zacatecas Mexico. Crescenio's father 
was Antonio Castaneda-Dominguez although some say it was Castaneda-
Martinez. His wife's name was (this is where it gets confusing) some 
say Teodora Salazar others say Ignacia Domingez. Antonio's father was 
Pedro Castaneda and mother was Ignacia Domingez. They tell me there 
were two Ignacia Dominguez's but I am skeptical. Everyone seems to 
tell me different things. They resided in Valparaiso. 

Crescensio's brothers name is Benancio Soccorro Castaneda.
Well that's all I know now. Hopefully in the near future I will have 
more information to share. If anyone has any information that you 
think would be helpful I would appreciate any and all of your 
thoughts! Thanks. 

Hi
I am researching my son's ancestors from Colotlan, Jalsico, Mexico. 
I have hyphen the last names of his ancestors so it would be easier 
to indentity the last names and middle names. Hope this is not a 
problem.  If there is a error, please let me know.  

His grandparents
Luis Huizar-Gaeta born Colotlan, Jalsico, Mexico
died January 2000.
and 
Maria Guadalupe Munoz-Gaeta from Tulimic, Colotlan, Jalsico, Mexico
about 1993 in Tulimic, Colotlan, Jalsico, Mexico

Luis Huizar-Gaeta
Parents: 
Fermin Huizar-Rodriguez and Valentina Gaeta-Carrillo
G-Parents: 
Canuto Huizar-Perez (ancestors unknown) and Maria Marcadia de 
Rodriguez-Hernandez
GG-Parents:
Gabino Rodriguez-Guillermo and Marta Hernandez (ancestors unknown)

Maria Guadalupe Munoz-Gaeta
Parents: 
Jesus Munoz (ancestors unknown) and Maria Soledad Gaeta-Lopez
G-Parents: Andres Gaeta and Maria Cruz Lopez (ancestors unknown)


I was told that Valentina Gaeta-Carrillo and Maria Soledad Gaeta-
Lopez was related.
I would like to find more ancestors and I would like to know if 
someone know where the Huizar's came from.  I have been told that 
they might be related to the Spaniard Dutch that have the last name 
of Huizen or Van Huizen.

Please check out my file T. Remaly's ancestors.

Thank you
Roseholly

Welcome Arnoldo!

My grandma is from Totatiche, as well as her ancestors.  I have 
quite a bit of info, so maybe we can share notes to see if we're 
cousins.  Many people from Totatiche are related to each other.  
Once you post your genealogy, I'll be able to see if you're 
related.  Check out my files too!  Stella and I are cousins, and we 
met through this group!
