Mi twenty-six times over cousin Rosalinda made a big breakthrough for me today looking through films for me. I had not been able to find a link between by fourth-great-grandfather Joseph Ramon ARANZAZU and the families in Tlaltenango with that name (where he supposedly was born). She made the link but it was not what I expected. I am posting it here so that I can get suggestions as to how to proceed: I looked up the marriage record of Ramon, and while the IGI notes that he was married before, he was not. The person extracting the record misunderstood. Ramon, it says, is an "expuesto en las puertas de Don Bartolome Aranzazu." Since he was left at the doorstep, I guess his parents are unknown, and I think your brick wall is now truly high. There is a chance that you can find his baptism record, but that would take some work. Sorry about this news. Also if anyone has any ideas as to how his son ended up getting the name RAMOS (Benito RAMOS)... My guess is that son of Ramon (orphan) led to RAMOS, though his other children seem to have gotten the name ARANZAZU.
