Introduction of Israel Sustaita Loera

I'm really happy to be part of this great community and I thank everybody that runs this website. My family comes from the small town of Ojocaliente, Calvillo in in the state of Aguascalientes.

Israel,

We are and should be closely related. My mother's family had continuous movement between Aguascalientes and
Calvillo. My mother was born in Aguascalientes. You are absolutely correct, there is only one Loera family. All
the Loera of Aguascalientes come from Diego de Loera and Margarita de Nava back from the early 1600s.

Like many here I am also closely related to Fernandez de Palo, Lopez de Nava, Tiscareno, Romo de Vivar
and Martinez de Sotomayor. These families were close knit not only in Aguascalientes but also Calvillo.

Please contact me,
Daniel

Mi papa es de Ojocaliente, Calvillo también al igual que mi mama. Si he investigado el apellido Sustaita y hasta ahora el ancestro mas antiguo parece ser, no estoy seguro, un tal Simón Sustaita que se caso con Lucia Montañés. Existe un récord parroquial de cuando murió en 1739 en Aguascalientes. Me encantaría saber donde nació y quien eran sus papas de el pero no he podido encontrar mas ;-)

Espero aprender mucho aquí con ustedes

Hi, I have Loera or Luera in my lines. I have been researching Mezquitic Jalisco. I’m confused because some ancestors show up as indigenous and some are not indigenous. I don’t know if there was mote than one line of Loeras in Mezquitic (very small town). It makes me question whether I have a mess or if it’s one family. Or how accurate were those labels? I myself am over 50% native to Zacatecas, per my Ancestry test.

I also wonder if all of us Loeras are related, but tell me where did you find out about Diego de Loera and Margarita Nava and do you know anything about Ricardo Loera and Barbara Gertrudiz Lopez?

You are totally right about the families you mentioned it seems as if you have taken a look at my tree ;-)

Israel, welcome to the wonderful frustrating elating world of genealogy.  My
fathers family was from Jerez Zacatecas and there were many Loera/Luera located
there. I find the change in spelling frustrating but it was the scribe not the
people the records talk abt.  I ended up putting into my files Loera/Luera since
there was no other way to do it. I put my files on Rootsweb.com because it's
free and anyone can check them without having to pay.

good luck

Yes I've seen both versions, but since there are church records in Aguascalientes in the early 1600s spelled Loera it leads me to think that it is the original spelling. As you may already know, Calvillo (Valle de Huejucar)in Aguascalientes and Tabasco (Mecatabasco) in Zacatecas share a border and many people from Calvillo were baptized there I am sure there was a lot of trade between both ranchos. I wouldn't be surprised if some Loeras from Zacatecas are related to the Loeras in Aguascalientes.

NAVARRO GUIZAR

Anyone else have these surnames on their pedigree? I've been finding that the name Guizar has been misspelled in documents about a hundred different ways...doesn't make it easy at all.

My Mathernal Great Grandfather's name was Jose Refugio De La Paz Villalpando, I can't find much on his lineage, my Grandma says that his family originally came from Europe/Spain. But I believe my Great Grandpa was born in Tecolotlan Jalisco abt 1901, he died April 1st 1940, I believe his parents were Catarino De La Paz and Mariana Villalpando. My Grandmother's GEDmatch number is QW7849654 she was Refugio's daughter.

Comment

Emilie,

What an interesting story.

I'm finding that parish priest within the same location often used different formats in recording births and marriages...sadly I'm finding that with researching my husband's Corbera ancestors... I'll find them on LDS, getting my hopes up that once I view film it will supply the names of AP and AM...but often that is not the case...

I have bapt records for my father-in-law and his siblings, but there's a time gap from his bapt in 1894 until the next sibling in 1900... I have searched until I can see no more... ;-).

This search can prove very frustrating at time, but so rewarding when the link is made.

Good luck with your search.

Sincerely,
Pat Silva Corbera

This subject is very interesting. I have touched basis with New Mexico genealogy, through my step-grandmother. She is "Duran y Chavez"
and descends from the typical names, Martin Serrano, Vasquez de Lara, Baca, Romero, Roybal, etc. I am not sure why many New Mexican
genealogist "assumed" things if there is no proof with certain data. The Villalpando of New Mexico came from Leon, Guanajuato not Leon, Spain.
If anyone is extracting the spanish records for Leon, Gto please publish them. I plan eventually to do this in the near future if no one else decides
to do it.

Hello DANIEL,

I just found this old post of yours where you wrote :

“my step-grandmother. She is "Duran y Chavez" “

The Jose Manuel Gómez that is married to Anna Maria Duran is a brother to an ancestor of Joe Kapp the first Mexican American quarterback in the NFL.

Their ancestor Francisca De la Rocha is also known as Francisca Madrid as the surname used by many in this family is “Madrid De la Rocha” or “Rocha De la Madrid.

Hola Rubén:

Tu porcentaje de ascendencia francesa sugiere no es muy lejano en el tiempo. Yo desciendo de la familia Demongin que se estableció en Guanajuato, aunque hay otra rama muy grande en Jalisco y otra en el norte de Veracruz.

Por éste motivo llevo cierto tiempo estudiando la emigración francesa a México, una de las fuentes más importantes es la página web Raíces Francesas en México, muchos de los emigrantes estaban asociados entre sí por motivos de negocios.

Si cuentas con tu árbol genealógico podrías investigar si tienes algún tatarabuelo con apellido francés y reiterar tu consulta, ya con algún dato. Por lo pronto te adelanto que hay las siguientes ramas principales de emigración:

1. En 1824 llegaron dos grupos de franceses al sur de Veracruz y algunos se establecieron en Ixtepec, Oaxaca.

2. En 1835 llegó un grupo al norte de Veracruz procedente de Champlitte Alto Saona, Franco Condado asentándose en Jicaltepec y luego fundaron San Rafael, de éste grupo proviene mi

Comment

To my surprise, I have 23% French blood in my DNA. I have talked with my father's side of the family (distantly related), and they indicated that during the French intervention, many French soldiers came. He had a significant amount of French blood in him (lives near Monterrey) because his grandfather admitted being one of the French soldiers who opted to stay behind...but changed his surname, as the French did not enjoy a good reputation among Mexican nationals. In fact, in the town where my ancestors came from, there is a lore about how a Mexican girl falls in love with a French soldier and the townspeople found out. They hunted her down and dismembered her for "sleeping with the enemy". So, if changing of the surnames occurred frequently, I may never be able to trace the exact ancestor.

On the other hand, I also seem to have inherited some of the French blood from my mother's side of the family who came from the Tlaltenango, Zacatecas area. I know this as several of my cousins

Interessting and well written story. Indeed, the mexican society of the Virreinato was not kind to the native mexicans that were especially discriminated by the hacendados, the same families that we mainly study on Nuestros Ranchos.

Church confirmations

At what age did children do their confirmations?

Comments

Comment

In some cases, as soon as they were baptized. Confirmations are performed by the bishop, so whenever the bishop visited - which apparently wasn't too often, in some areas - anyone who wasn't already confirmed, was taken and confirmed.

Manny Díez Hermosillo

Comment

Yes, during the Spanish Mandate, everyone was required to be Catholic and to follow church law and receive the sacraments. If you didn't go to mass on Sundays & holy days of obligation, or if you didn't receive communion nor attend confession, or if you didn't observe the fasts (like not eating meat on Fridays during Lent), you'd find yourself in trouble with the Inquisition. Nor could a couple live together without being married, without risk of excommunication and expulsion from your community.

Can’t find baptism registration

Has anyone ever not found a baptism registration between 1845-1860 in Jalisco? I have been searching for one for my great great grandfather for about a year now and no luck.

Comment

Hi Esther,

I know your struggle. I've been looking for the baptism record for my GG-Grandfather for a while now. I'm still searching documents, page by page - around the year I estimate he was born. All his brothers and sisters were baptized, so I know for a fact he was also.

Some of the years I've searched are stained/damaged, so they are very difficult to make out. Also, being a Hernandez from Los Altos adds another level of difficulty, since we are so many.

Good luck,

Carlos Hernandez-Gamiño Medrano

Comment

Oh my gosh that is so funny, that is exactly what I have been doing for a year and maybe longer. My great great father is a Hernandez Martinez and I have looked in Jesus Maria, La Barca, La Piedad, Ayotlan, Degollado, Penjamo, Muanuel doblado and Arandas. Maybe one day we will find them :-). Are you also a Medrano? My husbands last name is Medrano and I see you have Gamiño, I also have that last name in my family tree.

Thank you,
Esther

Comment

I am Hernandez-Gamiño by my paternal bloodline, traced back to Domingo Hernandez-Gamiño as my 9th Great-Grandfather . Most of my family's records are in Arandas, which they/we didn't stray very far from at all.

I am in fact also Medrano by my mother's father. He was a Medrano. I have his agnatic line traced back to some time in the 18th century, but have sort of hit a wall there. I don't know if this is because there is a lack of records, or if this was when they were baptized as Catholics, as many records for Medrano I have found, identify them as Indios.

I still wonder where they got the name, as it is a Spanish surname. I've read a lot of the time they would take the name from the jefe of the hacienda, when they were baptized. Still much more research to be done here!

Saludos Prima! Much luck to you!

Hi cherna,

So yesterday I started looking in the confirmation books and I think I finally figured out why I can not find my great great grandfathers birth registration. His name is Buenaventura Hernandez Martinez on his marriage and death records. On some of his children's and his records I have seen other names that might be his siblings. When I did research on one of documents there was a Juana Hernandez with her husband and I looked up their marriage reg. and found out that was his sister but mentions she was hija natural and on the document her name is Martinez. I found two other names and that were her children but both named Hernandez and was not able to find birth reg. either. At this point I was thinking all her children but one was out of wedlock but gave them the last name Hernandez after her late husband (married for 7 years). So yesterday I looked page by page on these records, they mention the child, parents and padrinos names, so I looked only for the mothers name

Comment

Same thing happened to me with a couple of my ancestors from Tamazula, while this particular town had records for the year I believed him to have been born, he was not in those.

His marriage said he was from that town and being 20 years old, so I looked 3 years prior and 3 after one by one and never found his baptism,

Thank you so much for replying, I thought it was only me but makes me feel confident that I did look in all the right places.

Yes, that's happened to me before; I do think that some baptism records and other church records weren't included, probably due to an oversight. I have decided that if I never find the record, I'll have to live with other records to help fill in the gaps.

ANTONIO DE MATA Y REBOLLAR

Antonio de Mata y Rebollar is my Maternal (Martinez/Pena) 6th Great Grandfather. He was born about 1674. He married Rosa de Santos on 15 April 1695 in Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes, Mexico.

Comment

The primary owners of Cienega de MAta were the the Rincon Gallardo family, these guys owned many haciendas across Guanajuato, San Luis Potosi, Zacatecas, Aguascalientasand Jalisco. Since the actual hacienda, is in Ojuelos de Jalisco which consists of a biggerarea, part of the hacienda was probably sold or inherited, im still researching but the Matahave some history, there since there is a huge concentration there. I know that the Gallardobuit the hacienda in 1593 and lost Cienega de Mata in 1740. So probably names changed.
Im still trying to figure out who the patriarch for the mata family is, the compound surnameMata y Rebollar note that two families merged. Rebollar is a common name in Aguascalientes,so my guess the first Mata married in Aguascalientes to a Rebollar.

I have a copy of Antonio's Marriage Record, and his wife's last name looks like "Santos", but I believe in a previous message, Daniel, that you translated her last name as "Bustos", which is supported by the names of their children assuming that "Bustos" is the name in the Record. What do you think?

The complete compound name is DE LOS SANTOS BUSTOS, some records she uses SAntos others Bustossome SANTOS BUSTOS. Surnames are sometimes difficult with our ancestors since in the 12th-16thcenturies they really chose their names and didnt necessarily follow the paternal name, especiallyif they are named after an ancestor so if Juan Rodriguez married Maria Lopez and they had a daughternamed Juana she could be named Juana Garcia after her maternal grandmother, if we say Maria wasdaughter of Juan Lopez and Juana Garcia. Then compound names like de los Santos Bustos were commonand very popular over time many chopped them in half so today in Aguascalientes it would be commonto find people with the name SANTOS, though DE LOS SANTOS BUSTOS can still be found today.Not everyone chopped their names, my grandmother was Garcia de Leon, my latest Esparza ancestorwas in the 1880s and she was a Ruiz de Esparza.

Hi Katy

Do you mean Maria de Esquibel? I have her death record. (I descend from her quite a few times) It classifies her as Spanish and says she left a will
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939N-YY4K-J?i=200&cc=1804458

Same thing happened to me. I got A2d1a if I remember right with an ancestor in Tlaltenango who was always listed as Spanish. I have Maria born about 1580 and my earliest known mtdna ancestor Beatriz Delgado born about 1595. I kind of assumed the Amerindian was further back, maybe their maternal grandmother or even great grandmother who married a Spanish guy shortly after the original conquest.

~ Andrea

Comment

Yes, i'm refering to maria esquibel, and thanks for the link to the death record. Too bad i don't know where to find her will. and i think it's likely more recent than a great grandma in maria esquibel's case given she was born in 1580's;either she(talking about maria esquivel) herself, her mom, or perhaps even her maternal grandma was full amerindian most likely(thought i think one of the former two is more likely).

There is a Maria Ramona Ramirez that is the daughter of Juan Jose Ramirez and Maria Josefa Gómez. She was baptized on 8/March/1829 Aguascalientes.
Her paternal grandparents are Diego Ramirez and Manuela Martinez. Her maternal grandparents are José María Gómez and Paula Hernandez.

The baptismal date doesn’t fit with a marriage date before 1829 so this is not the Ramona Ramirez that you are looking for unless your marriage date is incorrect.

Here is a marriage record with similar names but the grooms name is not Alejo.
Juan Adauto Sánchez (son of José María Sánchez and María Eusebia González) married 7/Sep/1814 Tlaxcalilla, San Miguelito, San Luis Potosí to María Ramona Ramirez (daughter of José María Gómez and María Josefa Hermenegilda Gómez)

Soria Search Inquiry

Comments

Comment

Not sure if you are still looking for info for Barbaro Soria, but recent census
info on family search has tied several Soria/Osorio/Osoria families together
in the Juchipila/Moyahua areas.

Barbaro Soria (in earlier records written as Osorio/Osoria) is listed in the 1841 Juchipila padron (census), along with parents and siblings. He was listed in the town of Amoxochitl (also listed as Amotochil).

He was listed as age 10 (born circa 1831) Likely in Amotochil, as his father (Juan Soria (Osorio/Osoria) is found in the 1813 Juchipila Padron (census), also in Amoxochitl.
The 1813 Juchipila census lists no ages, but lists family members.

The 1841 census:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-89K8-K5J5?i=652

The 1813 census:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-89K8-KPFB?i=862&cat=23…

My Juchpila area database/website has all of this info, plus many Juchipila
area dispensations, including several Soria/Osorio/Osoria families.

From what has been pieced together

Comment

I have not studied the Soria name and am unable to provide long branches of this name like I can of most surnames from Jalisco and Zacatecas. However I may be able to help you in your reflection of why your research has failed to make the connections that you are looking for. You stated that you are familiar with the origins of the Soria name but did not detail any of this familiarity. What other variations are there, if any? Is Siorda a variation of Soria? In the timeframe where many of our ancestors came to the new world from Spain many of them used different surnames then their fathers. Have you done extensive research on the Soria women? This is usually more difficult as we sometimes find the women using multiple surnames. Have you looked into the "archivos secretos".? Have you looked through court documents that refer to Sorias in Spain and Mexico? Often there are court documents that clarify the relationship between the emigrants from Spain as they fight over assets

Comment

Thank you very much for your response. I am aware of the variations of the name but so far have only been looking at Soria/de Soria only because that is what my found-documents indicate--thus far. I had not attempted much of a search in Spain as it seemed pointless without knowing the specific transition point from there to Mexico, but the perspectives you offered are quite interesting and worth looking into. I have attempted to look for the women as well but will attempt to pursue this more deeply now. I will also backtrack once more and glean documents for any possible hidden "nugget." Thank you for the new ideas.

To all on this forum, I realize as well that I was quite remiss--failing to introduce myself with a greeting. I do apologize:
Hi,

I've have recently trying to look for some Soria in Nochistlán, but I've haven't go anywhere, I've found out that one of my Ancestors's sister; María Quiralte, (I didn't know her existence) married some one with this last name and lived at the beginning of the 1700's in Nochistlán. Unfortunately the record (a Dispensa) that mention this doesn't have the name of this Soria person. Looking on the FamilySearch index, I haven't found any Soria in this time period in this place, there are a few on Pinos though, but I can't tell if they are the same families. Important to mention here is that this people (my ancestor's sister descendants) are called "De Osoria" and "De Osorio", but a generation later in the mentioned Dispensa they are called Soria. I also look a few records with the Siordia name, but found out no connections with the rest of the Soria/Osoria records. Now this family from María Quiralte are also closed to (based on the godparents names and her kids/grandkids marriages) with

Thank you for responding. You have helped confirm that I need to begin looking at other name variations. I did retreive records for my grandfather's Villalobos side going into Nochistlan to Matrimonio de Francisco De Villalobos Y Maria Carrillo in 1741. Was hoping it would offer more answers but it stopped there.

Dear Isidro Soria,

I think you may have some success if you extend your search. You mentioned: Barbara Soria (wife – Sostenes Luna), Juan Soria (wife – Justa Estrada), and Antonio Soria (wife – Rosalia Portagal Rodriques) They may have a connection to the Alvarez de Luna family and/ or the Rodriguez Portugal family. I believe that Rosalia may be Maria Rosalia Rodriguez de Portugal. Check out San Juan de Los Lagos and Jalostotitlan and Santa Maria De Los Lagos, Lagos De Moreno, Jalisco and Guanajuato

Rosalia Portugal Rodriguez?
Name: Juana Rosalia Munoz Rodriguez
Gender: Female
Christening Date: 29 Apr 1771
Christening Place: SAN JUAN DE LOS LAGOS,JALISCO,MEXICO
Father's Name: Thomas Antonio Munoz De La Barba
Mother's Name: Maria Franca. Rodriguez Portugal
Indexing Project (Batch) Number: C60338-5 , System Origin: Mexico-ODM , GS Film number: 220646 ,

Antonio De Soria
mentioned in the record of Barthola Soria
Name: Antonio De Soria
Gender: Male
Wife: Juana Rosa
Daughter

I have indeed looked at most of these indexed names without success as to direct connections via documents. I understand what you are suggesting and have indeed found a few connections at least by way of relatives, such as siblings. I have all related documents recorded on my Ancestry.com tree. I do not wish to sound dismissive of anyone's attempts to help. At your suggestion, I have begun going through documents more intently to look for ancillary information previously missed. For one, I am beginning to go back and search informacion de matrimonios for extra information. I had not delved into this as much previously because exact date searches are so tedious to look up in those documents. I am also looking through any other available indexes and documents I can find.
Again, I extend my thanks that you or anyone else who would even take the time to look into this and offer help.

Dear Isidro

Don't give up. Here are a few dead ends that ended up not being dead ends.

Close to forty years of genealogy has brought many frustrations at times. I was stuck on some seemingly deadends that I thought would stay just that. My fathers ancestor Salvador Clemente de la Torre was a deadend for close to thirty years until I found a marriage dispensation that Claudia Casillas had posted on her Guadalajara dispensation index. I have found information in the information matrimonial that was not in the marriage record. A couple of times the marriage record ended in a deadend with the marriage record saying that the bride and groom had no blood relationship but I later found a dispensation stating that after they were married someone came forward and stated that they were indeed related and a dispensation was granted way after the marriage.

Another time I was searching for Duran in Zacatecas and the dates did not seem to match so I tossed many of my notes aside

Rick,
Thank you so much for your in-depth response. It gave me quite a bit to think about and I will file it away and review it off and on, I'm sure. You reminded me of one name in my Villalobos line that did not quite make sense at the time but I saved a copy in my folders anyway. A few years later, I re-approached the name via the subject's niece which I then happened to find, and it lead to a confirmation of the previous connection. I am now, as per your previous suggestion, attempting to look into all relatives mentioned in documents. I didn't do a very good job of adding citations when I began downloading documents but I have rectified that some of those searches, as well as going back and adding more information to names I have been reviewing. I will get better at this I am sure, I just hope it doesn't take me another ten years before finding these names that have been especially frustrating me. Thank you again,

Isidro

Dear Isidro,

When you mentioned the surname Soria I immediately thought of Siordia which is a Surname that I had come across in the research of my family tree. An ancestor of mine, Francisco Rodriguez Bajo as married twice. I descend from his second wife, thomasa Rosa de Ulloa y sepulveda. His first wife is where I first came across the name Siordia His first wife was known as Teresa Rodriguez Ponce, Teresa ponce siorda and Teresa Sordia.

Teresa ponce de siorda is the daughter of a Nicolas Rodriguez ponce aka Nicolas Ponce de Siordia.
Nicolas is the son of Frncisco Rodriguez Ponce el mozo ( Junior ) and Juana Avalos y Bocanegra.
Francisco el mozo is the son of Francisco Rodriguez Ponce (senior) and Juana Siordia.

Juana Siordia had many siblings and nephews and nieces who used the surname Siordia.

Besides some Siordias using the ponce and Rodriguez last name, some Siordia family members sometimes used Fernandez de Vaulus.
Juana Siordias parents are Maria de Gabay and Pedro

I too have not done any research on "Soria" but my maternal Aunt had a sister, Natividad Soria (1910) married to a Benign Sandoval. The family was from Zacatecas. It got my attention when you said that one of your ancestors were close to the "Sandoval" family. Natividad parents were Jesus Soria and Nicolasa Soto. This is all I have which I know is very little. Just wanted to comment.

Juan de Villalpando married Francisca de la Rocha on June 11, 1618.

The many guesses that the surname of Juan’s mother Francisca are Mariza, Marica, Marquez, Matiga, Mancha, Marcha are close, but since we find her also using the surname Rocha then I believe that she is from the same family as my mother-in-law’s maternal grandfather “Rocha De la Madrid” aka “Madrid De la Rocha” aka “Rocha” aka “Madrid”

Hello, I am in New Mexico and also descend from Juan de Villalpando on my father's side. I found a record in San Felipe, Guanajuato for a Juan de Villalpando marrying Francisca de la Rocha on June 11, 1618. These are probably Juan's parents. Anyone have more info?

It's too bad this isn't in a better format. Some names might be easier to
read if it were. Jpg isn't meant for documents.

What I could make out of the first is the following -

(torn) ? Juo [Juan] de villalpando y franca [francisca] (torn)
? ya difuntos con ursula de olaes(torn)
de ? de olaes y isabel ? ; fueon (torn)

de vielma. y por verdad lo firne en dicho dia

I can't make out the first name of the father of ursula de olae, or the last
name of the mother but it looks like Cos.

It looks like a lot of people need to correct their family tree to show that
Juan de Villalpando Olaes is from León, Guanajuato.

I think the first one is started on another page but the book is out of order and really damaged so I don't know which Villalpando Ursula is marrying. Her parents are Martin de Olaes and Isabel Cortes. I'm searching for her birth record to see if she is Maria Ursula because Maria is on my Juan Villalpando record. And possibly if her son Juan migrated to Jerez. I found another VillAlpando that married a Francisca but her last name is Olaes too. So I'm fully confused. Lol. Who was looking for a Marcos that father is Tomas...I found Marcos birth record in Leon.

There are a lot of websites, including a post by Emilie Garcia, that mention
a son of Juan de Villalpando and Ursula Olaes also named Juan de Villalpando
that was a native of la villa de leon, and a soldier of Santa Fe, [New
Mexico] when he married Ana Maria Romero, June 2, 1694.

Since both the name Ursula and the surname Olaes aren't the most common I am
going to assume that she is the same one in the document you provided. Since
the above info also states he was from León, again I am going to make the
assumption that it is the same Ursula de Olaes. Therefore, the groom most
likely is Juan de Villalpando that Ursula de Olaes is marrying.

I forgot to mention that the second document shows who Ursula de Olaes
married in the first document. It states it was Juan de Villalpando. His
name has the common abbreviation for Juan which is Juo. Obviously the priest
wanted the two documents near each other and he found space in the preceding
page for her second marriage and as you stated we can see the dates and
years are not in order based on the link you provided.

I can read that his father is Thomas de Villalpando but I can only read Maria for his mother.

Padrinos are Juan de Villalpando and Maria de Aguirre (i think).

Hi Denise,

Thanks for posting the link to this record. I have seen this one before, the letter here is not the best, mostly faded I think. If you compare other records you will see she is María Vélez or María Veliz depending on the record.

Amalia,

Since my husband is descended from the Villalpandos, I have gotten involved in trying to find Francisca's surname, because, like you said, "she is driving me crazy!"

I found a Francisco Villalpando born to a Juan Villalpando and a Teresa Lopez in Leon, on 14 Apr 1681, and I found a marriage for a Jn. de Villalpando and a Franca. de la Rocha, in San Felipe, Guanajuato on 11 Jun 1618, but the images for that year are not online. I sent a message to Family Search to tell them they indexed it, but didnt put up the image. They do that a lot, or vice versa---you find an image that is not indexed.

I looked at the surname on the image for Juan and Ursula, and it looks like Noriega to me, but that is probably because I am descended from Noriegas. The priest's name is Marquez, another of my ancestors, so if you look at the M in his signature, it doesn't look like the first letter of "marega" or whatever that is on the document.

By the way, I can't find this marriage in the

I think the first letter is as you said "M" I think what looks like Mas is not "s" but a "t" looks the same as in "ja da funtos"...My guess the name is Matiga...if that's even a surname...

At first I thought the surname was Marques...but after looking at the Priest's signature, they didn't look the same to me.

Very intersting, especially the surname Villalpando...I've not seen that before.
Have any children of Ursula and Juan been located, hoping that the AP and AM names are mentioned?

It is very rare in that era to have the AP and AM named in the baptisms.
From what I have seen it started around the beginning of the 19th century
for a little while then it became very common. The entry after the one in
question is from 20 agosto 62. The top of the next page says 1666. Therefore
the first entry is probably 20 agosto 1662.

Villalpando isn't as rare as you might thing.. It would come up quite often
on NR and also familysearch when I look for Villalobos. Like a very large
number of surnames this seems to be a topónimo coming from the town
Villalpando, Zamora, Castilla y León, España
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villalpando

I came to the conclusion that the this Juan de Villalpando and Ursula de
Olaes are the parents of the Juan Villalpando that married Maria Romero June
2, 1694 in Santa Fe, New Mexico posted the following sites:

This is to correct some errors on my previous post.

The AP and AM in the baptisms became common after the middle of the 19th

If you compare the names and words with an r such as padrinos, por, verdad,
and firme and the words with an n such as difuntos, con, padrinos (again),
and año you can see they are different and it look more like mariqa than it
does like mancha.

You can also use the very next entry of Mathias de Marmolejo and Lorenza de

Armando,

The tree you found in Geneanet is one that assumed that the Leon referred to in the Archives of New Mexico was the one in "Espana" but now we know it was Leon, Guanajuato, and it is in those archives that they got the parents of Juan who married that Romero.

Talking about haciendas, is there a Hacienda Bareza or Barreza in Guanajuato? I think that for Francisca, the "mareza" might not be her surname but the place where she originated from. They used to put those places in the records, such as "originaria de" etc.

Also, what is that word written in the margin? del--inta?

Yes I know that was the same one you were referring to but I posted it so
people can where the info can be found. It isn't "mareza" it is Mariqa which
is the same as Marica.
http://www.linajes.net/esq22.php?nombre=Marica&submit=Buscar

It may very well be referring to a place. I can't find anyone with the

Yes, I realized after my last post that the Juan Villalpando record is torn around the edges so I highlighted what was in the torn areas so separate that from what was written in the pages under that one.

Also, when I was looking in the Guanajuato records for San Felipe and Leon of the time, I ran across some surnames that look like the one that might be Francisca's: Marega, Moriga, Maruga, Mariga, etc but none turned out to be a Francisca. I had never heard of such a surname.

I do know that the earliest I have seen mentioning grandparents occurred around 1770 in the Mexico City records. By 1770 the church began mentioning grandparent's names. This really helped me reconstruct the mexican "nobility" and their families trees. Some marriage records of Guadalajara actually contain grandparent's names, eventhough they were not baptismal records. You'll find many surprises within genealogy.

Comment

Amalia,

That's a great find. Friar Jospeh Marquez also wrote dicho dia mes y año in
the same unconventional way for the marriage of Juan de Villalpando but
since he didn't do it for the one following the marriage of Juan de
Villalpando I had felt it is best to assume it was an accident until it
could be shown he had repeated the same writing style. Since his writing
style is somewhat inconsistent he could have wrote r instead of n in the
case of the surname of Francisca making it de la Mancha as you had once
suspected. It is unfortunate there hasn't been any other records found that
mention Juan de Villalpando and Francisca de la Mancha or Marcha. It is hard
to even find the surname de la Mancha in Guanajuato in the online search.
Manchola shows up a lot but not Mancha. Finding Francisca as a godmother in
a baptism or death record could be helpful. As far Rocha, even though the
letter m written by Friar Joseph Marquez isn't consistent I never see where
an r looks like an m.

Yes Armando that is the only records i have found are Juan and Francisca de la Rocha im just wondering how he was real off on everything else if he might have just mis wrote it...but im still looking ...i started going backwards now. locating the first Villalpandos that came to Nueva Espana and tracing them up. I think I might have found a record in Guanajuato of an Alonso de Villalpando(1610 natural de Medina del Campo, which i located a Alonso in the PARES records coming to Nueva Espana in 1560) his son Simon (Arias) got married but he took the name Arias of his mother Faustina Arias de Bedoya(Bedoya vecinos de Camora figured out it was Zamora, Michoacan), , its just a task to link him to Juan im missing a span of about 50 years, but all the docs show Alonso in Leon (casa de Alonso de Villalpando), I read that back in them times they tend to take the last name of the more prestigeous parent. which Arias de Bedoya was quite up there in status.

Dear Amalia,

I find this post very interesting! My father descends from the Arias de Vedoya family of the Obispado de Michoacan, about three times to be exact. I have the oldes member who I believe to be the patriarch Juan Gomez-Arias de Vedoya who was the Alcalde Mayor of Zamora was likely born ca. 1550 possibly Spain and married Ana de Cardenas. It would be interesting to know how this Faustina Arias de Vedoya is related, very likely his daughter due to the time frame and location. The Arias de Vedoya are known to have settled in Zamora, one of the founders. They quickly married into families suchas Mendez de Torres (my family), Ochoa-Garibay, Martin Barragan, Torres Guerrero.

Do you have anymore info on Faustina Arias de Vedoya, Alonso de Villalpando or Simon Arias? There is a probability the Villalpando of Leon are related to those of Zamora. The Obispado de Michoacan functioned similarily as the Nueva Galicia. People often traveled around and settled, and married creating this

Daniel. I only have that marriage record I came across in Guanajuato, also I found a marriage document for a daughter of Simon Arias and Maria Suarez after that my trail goes cold. Other than all the records I extracted from Zamora of the Arias de Bedoya and Gomez de Bedoya I have no other leads. I found a exerpt in a book though about Gomez de Bedoya and im confused....it states that in 1561 Francisco Gomez Arias de Bedoya had land and he gave some of it to his parents which were Arias de Bedoya and Maria Avina, did they not know the fathers first name or was Arias it?? I want to see who the parents of (Faustina)Arias de Bedoya are. I also found several early records in Zamora for a Beatris Arias de Bedoya and a Pedro. But nothing that tells me who their parents are.
Alonso de Villalpando seems to me had numerous children but the late 1500's records are scarce. I did find an article that is about Penjamo (Irapuato now) that Alonso was a vecino de La Calera for 55 years, it was

Amalia,

I just realized that you might be able to find out more about all the people
involved in this marriage in the Información matrimonial 1637-1734. They are
done before a marriage to ensure both parties are complying with the rules
of marriage and are more detailed than the marriage entries and since some
info is repeated what can't be read in one entry can be in another. First
there is a declaration of the groom then a declaration of the bride then
three different witnesses stating there is nothing to their knowledge to
prevent the marriage. Here is a link to that volume
https://www.familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1951-20581-6217-43?cc=1860…

One of the advantages of having the full citation is that a larger image can be saved. From the Family Search page, the image is about 2.4M, which is considerably larger than the one you had posted. This image can then be made much larger, and easier to read.

I looked at the record on image 9; it seems to be an incomplete record, or perhaps not a standard marriage record. True, there are some missing parts of the page, but if it were a complete record, there should be something in the margin that I think would have been larger than the missing piece.

The record at the bottom of image 8 seems to be related. I noticed that some of the other records read "case y vele", but this one reads only "case."

Perhaps the image 9 record is actually the "vele" portion of the marriage. However, this word does not seem to be in the fragment of the page.

My interest in the Villalpando family is that my wife descends from Tomas (II) de Villalpando and Maria de Jaen who were married in Aguascalientes. This Tomas (II) is the son of Tomas (I) from Leon.

Tomas (I) is also the father of Marcos de Villalpando who married Maria Lopez in Leon, in 1680.

Comment

JacInto Ruiz de Esparza married Juana de Elizalde in Aguascalientes, Nueva Galicia, New Spain (Mexico), daughter of Juan de Luevana y Maria Lopez de Elizalde y Becerra

Maria Lopez de Elizalde is the daughter of Juan Lopez De Elizalde y Aberruza and Leonor Becerra y Sanchez de Mendoza.

Maria Lopez de Elizalde has a second marriage to Martin Ruiz de Esparza y Gabai

Juan Lopez De Elizalde y Aberruza is the son of Miguel Lopez De Elizalde y Leonor de Aberruza

Most genealogists have in their records a slightly different family tree. They mistakenly have Juana Lopez de Elizalde as a daughter to her grandparents.

Genealogists also keep repeating that The Lopez de Elizalde family is from Tolosa, Gipuzkoa, Basque Country, Spain when the Elizalde were already joined at the hip in Pamplona and Esparza.

Hola Ricardo:

En realidad estoy comenzando con el estudio de estas familias de Nueva Galicia. Esto es debido a que la bisabuela Juana Cuéllar Murguía no dejó muchos datos, únicamente que nació en 1876 en Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco. Ninguno supo siquiera el nombre de sus padres, ni tuvimos documentos o retratos, un misterio.

Me he concentrado en el estudio de la familia Ramírez y Bravo de Lagunas. Esto me ha llevado a estudiar el contingente de conquistadores de Pánfilo de Narváez y de Nuño Beltrán de Guzmán, varias familias establecidas en Querétaro pasaron a Nueva Galicia en el siglo XVI y un siglo más tarde varias familias pasaron de Nueva Galicia a Querétaro.

Podríamos avanzar más en cuanto reactivaran la Guía General del Archivo General de la Nación.

Hola Marcelina,

Hace tiempo que estoy esperando tu colaboración sober los Ruiz de Esparza y los Gabai Navarro. Es cierto lo que dices que lo Gabai antes era Gabadi.

Junto con los Huici, los Esparza de Ruiz tenian negocio de armas. Como Martin Ruiz de Esparza y Huici era de las dos familias, creo que el junto los negocios de las dos familias. Su prima, Guillermina, era abuela de de Santo Francisco Xavier. Guillermina escribio que su primo, Martin, era Bueno para manejar los negocios de la familia. Todavia no estoy seguro si los junto. Los Ruiz de Esparza demandaron a mucha gente que trataban meterse a este negocio. Hasta demanderon primos.

Buenas tardes estimados amigos.

Creo que definitivamente Martín "el Navarro" procedía de la población de Gabadi, independientemente de si el nombre de esa población tiene raíces hebreas.
Me parece que cada vez es más claro que a la Nueva Galicia llegó un grupo Vasco muy íntimamente relacionado desde antes de cruzar el océano.

Estoy formando la hipótesis de que la suegra de Martín de Gabadi fue Ana de Arriaga y que por esa razón pusieron el nombre de Ana Francisca a su hija.

Hay que notar que la hermana de Ana Francisca se casa con otro Vasco de la misma región de Pamplona: Pedro Fernández de Vaulus y Ciordia.
Otro miembro de ese Clan vasco en Nueva Galicia lo fueron Juan de Jaso "El Viejo" y su sobrino Juan de Jaso "El Mozo"sobrinos ambos de Guillerma de Atondo y Ruíz de Esparza

Mr. Ricci

I'd like to second your comment from 2017, above.

In current use, the term "gabbai" is a Hebrew term used currently for those to assist in the Torah service, e.g. monitor the reading from the Torah in Hebrew, and assist congregants with the blessings and customs when the congregant is "called" to the Torah, considered an honor.

Here's a link to Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabbai The Wikipedia definition is broader than the present usage.

A reserva de precisar en su oportunidad la información de la que dispongo, Francisca de Alcocer fue mujer del llamado "Alcaide Temiño", y, entre otros hijos tuvieron a Ana y Baltazar.

Ana casó con el conquistador Pedro Pacho con quien tuvo a tres hijas que casaron con Diego Flores de la Torre, Diego de Padilla Dávila y el Mayorazgo Porres Baranda. Tengo localizados en el Sagrario de México los bautizos de esas tres hijas: Angela, Mariana y Bernardina.

Ana casó en segundas nupcias en Guadalajara con Francisco de Figueroa, quien se convirtió en el tutor de las hijas de ella con Pedro Pacho; también tengo localizado el documento de "tutela" que lo comprueba.

Por esa razón, el Chantre Diego Flores de la Torre, erroneamente titula a su Memorial como "Descendencia de los Figueroa, Flores de la Torre, Padilla Dávila y Porres Baranda", y lo hace de esa manera, pues ignoró que las hijas de Ana se apellidaron Pacho.

Muchas gracias por toda esa información. Es una buena adición a mi investigación.

En cuanto a la familia Alcocer me he encontrado otra cosa que me gustaría compartir.

Según Juan Gil en este mismo libro que he referenciado, Los conversos y la Inquisición sevillana, Volumen 5, el padre de Francisca de Alcocer Bañuelos, el Jurado Diego de Alcocer, era el hermano del doctor Pedro González de Alcocer, canónigo de la Iglesia Catedral de Sevilla.

Juan de la Barreda y Acedo-Rico escribe en su libro Viejas Familias de Alcalá de Henares (p. 208) que el padre del doctor Pedro González de Alcocer fue Fernán Díaz de Alcocer. Por supuesto, esto significa que Fernán Díaz de Alcocer tambien era el padre de El Jurado Diego de Alcocer. Hay más ascendencia que procede de Fernán Díaz de Alcocer en este libro.

La información que arroja esta en duda sería una de las siguientes:

Los nuevos datos aportadoos ahora, acerca de la ascendencia Bañuelos, son muy interesantes.

Dear Maven

The source where I had picked up my information is Juan de la Barreda y Acedo-Rico in his book Viejas Familias de Alcalá de Henares.

My other source was Laura Balletto's citation of the will stating that diego is Pedro Gonzalez de Alcocers son and therefore Fernando de Alcocers grandchild, how do we explain this will? Pedro Gonzalez De Alcocer was a priest (.doctor Pedro González de Alcocer, canónigo de la Iglesia Catedral de Sevilla.) In this scenario Diego is illegitimate. Real estate deals involve the buyer checking for legal ownership of the seller. Real estate transactions must be written as oral real estate transactions are not enforceable. Laura Balleto’s citation of the Will shows that chain of ownership from the previous owner, Diego, and how he had acquired it, through an inheritance from his Father Pedro Gonzalez De Alcocer who stated in his will that he was leaving it to his son Diego.

In this immediate family there are many Diego’s and a few Pedro’s so I’m not surprised that people easily get them confused and much of my research is in secondary resources since Not everything is online and I’m in California.

According to Los Conversos y la Inquisicion Sevillana by Juan Gil v. 3, page 206-211. Dr. Juan Diaz de Alcocer was the Brother of Diego Alcocer (married to Blanca). Other brothers include 1. Fernando married to Gracia de Prado ( I think the Prado Madrid fam) 2. Pedro Gonzalez de Alcocer

:

The Treviño surname came from Francisca Alcocer’s father. In a municipal archive of Sevilla he is named “Jurado Hernando Bañuelos de Treviño, obrero mayor de Cabildo”. In a secondary source Hernando Bañuelos is identified as a relative of Bernardino Velasco.

El apellido Treviño viene por el padre de Francisca Alcocer. En el archivo del municipal de Sevilla se encuentra su nombre escrito como “Jurado Hernando Bañuelos de Treviño, obrero mayor de Cabildo” Hernando Bañuelos es conocido como pariente de Bernardino De Velasco.

I have no doubt that Treviño/Termiño were used interchangeably or that Pedro had children, even a diego since its a common family name. What's confusing to me is still the timeline.

Have you ever read the processo of Lope Saavedra of 1539? To cut the telenovela short basically, it confirms that Francisca is married to Diego Tremiño, she has a sister named Beatriz married to Pedro de Leon (who we know parents are Diego alcocer & blanca Nunez) and they all came together from spain the year before on the same NAO. Also Francisca's daughter Francisca Velasco gives testimony in this proceso as well having slept with Lope who is her cousins husband.

Hi Maven,

Here are some more nuggets.

Alfonso Ruiz De Temino was related to his wife Sancha Velasco. Besides Diego Temiño De Velasco’s parents being related, Diego was also related to his wife Francisca Alcocer. You were correct in calling it a tangled web. All three were related to Bernardino Velasco. And yes Hernando Banuelos de Treviño and Alfonso Ruiz De Temiño both worked for Bernardino Velasco.

I don’t have the date and exact address yet. I just know that the conference will be in Oxnard in August 2020. I’ll let you know the details as soon as Carlos Yturralde confirms them.

The timeline, the research I have on the Alcocer family, and the will stating that he is the son of Pedro, altogether lead me to believe that Diego is Juan’s nephew and not his brother.

And yes, I did know about the scandal. I am guessing that the Diego Treviño that left many descendants in New Mexico is one of the kids born from the scandal. The Treviño of course came from Hernando Bañuelos de

Hello Luis, Blanca Nuñez is not the only Jewish Converso in the family. The Alcocer family repeatedly married Jewish Conversos. There were many connections to the Jewish conversó “Cota” family. The wives Leonor De San Pedro and María Ortiz were obviously Jewish Conversos. When I say Jewish conversos I mean that either they converted, or that they descend, from Jewish conversos. The conversion may have occurred a few generations before. Most of these conversos continued practicing some of their family traditions even if they truly converted. It was well known that Juan Diaz De Alcocer came from a family of Jewish conversos yet he and his siblings were very religious practicing Catholics. Juan’s parents, Fernando Diaz De Alcocer and María Ortiz, were also very religious Catholics who made many contributions to the Catholic church. 4) Fernando Diaz De Alcocer (Caballero de la Banda ca 1370) married to Leonor De San Pedro (investigating the strong possibility that she is the daughter of

Thank you for your reply and for your clues. I have followed some of the leads you have provided and they have helped strengthen my suspicion that the family was indeed Judeo-Converso. I am still searching for conclusive evidence, because as of yet, the sources I have found appear to make the case of the their Judeo-Converso heritage based on strong circumstantial evidence. I concede that I have not yet finished reading through all of the clues you have pointed me to, but I hope to be sending you my comments within a couple of days to continue the discussion. While I finish investigating a bit more, please do send more information my way should you come across something interesting regarding the Blanca Nuñez's Jweish ancestry.

Dear Luis,

I am sorry for not be clearer. It is not just circumstantial evidence that they came from a family of Jewish. conversos. Even though Juan Diaz de Alcocer and his siblings embraced the Catholic religion, it was well known that they descended from Jewish conversos. The family had cousins that took a little longer to convert and they were subject to the inquisition. The Cota and San Pedro families from
Alcalá de Henares are two prominent Jewish families that Diego Alcocer descends from. Not all of Blanca Nuñez ancestors are Jewish conversos, as I can trace Pedro Toledo’s paternal ancestry to nobility and royalty.

Mr. Ricci,

I hope you are well. I have done some research on the subject and I found an author by the name of María del Pilar Rábade Obradó, who has written many articles on Judeo-Conversos in the Spanish courts. An interesting article has to do with el Doctor Juan Díaz de Alcocer married to María Tellez. The parents of this Doctor Juan Díaz de Alcocer were Fernando Díaz de De Alcocer and María Ortíz. This means that this Doctor Juan Díaz de Alcocer of whom I speak of was the brother of Doctor Pedro Díaz de Alcocer, canónigo de Sevilla. As a side note, one point of discussion in this thread is around the connection to Jurado Diego de Alcocer; some evidence you have brought forth suggests that he is the illegitimate son of Doctor Pedro Díaz de Alcocer, canónigo de Sevilla, and evidence provided by Maven seems to suggest that he is the brother of Doctor Juan Díaz de Alcocer and therefore the son of Fernando Díaz de Alcocer and María Ortíz.

Let me cite some interesting lines:

Mr. Ricci,

I hope you are well. These past couple of weeks I have been investigating this converso family and have not come up with any new sources or clues other than the ones I have posted and those that already appear on this post. I wanted to respectfully and humbly ask you for guidance and some clarification on comments you have previously made:

  1. Can you describe how the María Ortiz (wife of Fernando Díaz de Alcocer – Junior) is related to the Cota Family? Can you please provide sources and/or documentary evidence?
  2. You state that you have a married couple by the names of Pedro de Toledo and Beatriz Fernandez that had a daughter named Blanca. Can you please provide sources and/or documentary evidence?
  3. You mention that it was well known that Juan Diaz de Alcocer came from a family of Jewish conversos; can you please provide sources and/or documentary evidence of how this is well known?

All,

I would like to share some additional information on the lineage of the house of “Alcocer

I am finding references to a marriage between Juan Padilla Davila and Antonia Martin del Campo in several places. The date given is 25 abril 1705, either in Jalostotitlan or San Juan de los Lagos.

Juan Padilla Dávila y Gutiérrez de Hermosillo (aka Juan de la Mota y Padilla) ( aka Juan De Abila Padilla ) and Antonia Martin del Campo y Flores De la Torre are the parents of Juana Manuela Padilla.

Juana Manuela Padilla was married to Jacinto De La Torre Ledesma. They are my ancestors

Juana Manuela Padilla was baptized 24/Jun/1718 in San Juan De los Lagos, Jalisco

Try looking for records of Juan Padilla with various combinations of De Abila Padilla, Padilla Davila, Padilla De la Mota, Padilla Gutierrez, Padilla

Good luck,
Rick A. Ricci

I believe, it may be mixed in the Jalostotitlán records or San Juan de los Lagos. I descend from Juan de Padilla y Dávila and Antonia Martín del Campo through their daughter Rosa de Padilla y Dávila. She was married on 10 Feb 1732 in Jalostotitlán to Joseph González de Rubalcaba, they are my seventh great grandparents through my father.

Does anyone know there surrounding parishes near Cotija. It appears there isnt any church records of Cotija for my grandmother in 1815. Please Help. Thanks.

Hola! No pude evitar interesarme a su plática de los Valencia de Cotija... y es que, tengo una linea que data de 1700 aprox. Se trata de:

Miguel Angel Valencia (el acta de matrimonio aparentemente dice "originario de Cotija") Casado en 1748 en Teocuitatlan de Corona, vecino de San Antonio.

Su esposa: Maria Antonia Villaseñor Trujillo (viuda)

Sus padres: Nicolas Valencia y Anna De Orosco

Sus hijos: Francisco Xavier, Manuel Ricardo, Ana Maria, Juan Jose, Terezha, Guadalupe, Josefa, Michaela, Francisco Roman, Jose Maria.

De casualidad tendran algun dato de sus padres Nicolas Valencia y Anna de Orosco en Cotija?

Saludos y todo lo mejor!

Comment

también comparto algunas raíces por el lado paterno, el González resultó de Cotija y no de los Reyes como yo creí, pero no solo ese sino González Valladares, Medina Vargas y también Alvares , pero no sé como aventajar más ya que los registros que he encontrado realmente son recientes cerca de 1900 poco antes, no sé de dónde se puede conseguir más información sobre Cotija o si alguien de aquí tiene alguno de esos apellidos.
los padres de mi abuelo José Hilario Malaquias González García (nacido en los Reyes 3 nov de 1867) fue....
Onofre González Valladares y María Marina García Alvares
sus abuelos paternos fueron Vicente González y Encarnación Valladares de Cotija
sus abuelos maternos fueron Ignacio García y Ramona Alvares, aqui si encontré en inf. matrimonial en los Reyes, pero no aparecen los datos ya que al casarse ya tenían dos hijos, por lo mismo supongo que se evitaron la información importante sobre los nombres de sus padres etc. Por otro lado también la mamá de mi abuela

Saludos a todos,

Veronica, como dice el dicho "Mejor tarde que nunca"! Aunque no he descubierto quienes fueron los padres de Nicolas de Valencia, si encontre datos que nos dan a saber quienes lo fueron de Anna de Orozco, esposa de Nicolas de Valencia.

Nicolas de Valencia y Ana de Orozco fueron originarios de Cotija. Entre los hijos que tuvieron en Cotija, sabemos que (por lo menos) tres de ellos se fueron a poblar Jalisco. Aqui estan los tres hijos que conocemos:

Miguel Angel Valencia cc Maria Antonia de Villasenor y Trujillo
Juan Manuel Valencia cc Andrea Gudino (Son mis 6x great grandparents)
Maria Teresa Valencia cc Diego de Ochoa

Se fueron a vivir a San Antonio Tuxcueca, jurisdicción de Teocuitatlan, Jalisco.

Encontre hace poco una dispensa matrimonial en donde se trata de una hija de Maria Teresa Valencia (Maria Antonia Ochoa):

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-66SD-6M?i=105&wc=12512730&…

Comment

Despues de meses de armar el rompecabezas de la familia Valencia de Cotija... (Por medio de decenas de dispensas matrimoniales que encontre en el archivo del viejo Obispado de Michoacan) He descubierto que los padres de Nicolas de Valencia fueron:

Melchor de Valencia Pina (El Viejo) cc Magdalena de Liebana y Orozco.

Magdalena de Liebana y Orozco (Originaria de Tangancicuaro, Michoacan) fue hija de Alvaro Maciel y Isabel Orozco del Castillo. Sabemos esto gracias a esta dispensa que solicito Melchor para casarse por segunda vez (Su primera esposa fue Juana de la Pena y Orozco):

Dispensa para el matrimonio entre Melchor de Valencia Pina y Magdalena de Liebana y Orozco

Tambien tengo la partida de bautizmo de Nicolas:

Julio 13, 1665 - Chilchota, Michoacan

Hasta ahorita no he encontrado quienes fueron los padres de Melchor. Ni he encontrado datos sobre su origen. Solo se que nacio por el ano de 1616 y sabemos que se caso, por primera vez, con Juana de la Pena y Orozco con quien tuvo

Hola Daniel,

Aqui la IM de Gertrudis de Amesqua y Mateo Rebolledo, 2 Feb 1659. Gertrudis de Amesqua es hija de Gaspar de Amesqua y de Catalina de Piña y Valencia.
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-KG9K-6Q?i=86&wc=3NTX-1…

Parece que hay impedimento por una relacion que tuvo Mateo Rebolledo con Monica de Valencia, prima hermana de Gertrudis Amesqua. La Monica de Valencia es hija de Francisco de Valencia y de Magdalena de Tzipaqua (India); Francisco de Valencia es hermano de Catalina de Piña y Valencia. Salen Francisco de Valencia y Melchor de Valencia de testigos, no se dan sus edades.

Gracias y saludos,
Manny Diez Hermosillo

Comment

Muchisimas gracias Manny!

As always you come through in spades! I hadn't yet run across that informacion matrimonial. Catalina is indeed another sibling of Francisco and Melchor. (I had heard of Catalina through another dispensa for a great-grandchild. It's nice to know that it was correct. :-) )

I also found out that there's another sibling, Juan de Valencia Pina. Melchor, Juan, Catalina, and Francisco appear to be from the same generation, i.e. early 1600s.

I hope to someday find some documents for at least one of these folks where it says where they're from and/or their parents. It seems that the marriages for Espanoles from Tangancicuaro have pretty good coverage in the Morelia archives, so there's hope!

Thanks Again!

Daniel, Manny, primos

Although the roots of these lastnames are not located in Nueva Galicia but in Michoacán, they originated through the years many lineages Novo galaicos.

I´m descendant of one of the witnesses of the dispensa of Melchor de Valencia Piña "El Viejo" and therefore have gathered some information related to the referred lastnames.

In the mentioned dispensa Melchor is willing to marry Magdalena de Liébana, daughter of Álvaro Maciel Blancharte and Isabel de Orozco del Castillo Liébana; well I´m descendat of a sister of this Magdalena whose name was Gerónima de Liébana baptized in Tangancícuaro in 1621, married to Juan Asencio de León in 1637 , this Juan Asencio was one of the witnesses of Melchor de Valencia in 1663 when Juan declared to be more than 60 years old.

In the dispensa the witnesses declare that the "pretensa" was the daughter of Isabel de Orozco and that this Isabel de Orozco was "Prima hermana" of the deceased first wife of Melchor named Juana de la Peña

Comment

Another piece of the puzzle to the Valencia family tree... In the Informacion Matrimonial de Melchor de los Reyes y Catalina de Ontiveros, Tangancicuaro - 10 de Julio 1670 one of the witnesses, Francisco de Valencia Pina, anciano del pueblo de Tangantziquaro, de edad de mas de cinquenta anos, gave testimony that his parents were none other than:

Melchor de Valencia Pina cc Catalina de Barba Coronado Maldonado

The IM also further clarifies some of the Valencia family relationships. The IM doesn't state where Melchor and Catalina were from, but, at least we are taken back one more generation. (BTW, the Melchor de Valencia Pina called out above is not to be confused with the Melchor Valencia Pina (II) who married twice (1st to Juana de la Pena, 2nd Magdalena de Maciel Orozco) nor Melchor de Valencia Pina (III) wed to Isabel Morfin.)

All told, here's what the Valencia Pina y Barba Coronado family looks like:

Comment

Dear Daniel,

You have Melchor de Valencia Pina (II) married twice, first to Juana De la Peña, and second to Magdalena Maciel Orozco.

But Melchor de Valencia Pina (III) that is married to Isabel Morfin has his parents as Melchor De Valencia (II) and “Juana Orosco”. So Juana De la Peña was also known as “Juana Orosco” taking the The Orosco surname from her mothers side.

Melchor De Valencia Pina
Spouse's Name Ysavel Morfin

Comment

Hi Rick,

Correct on both counts. Juana de la Pena was also known as Juana de Orozco, daughter of Pedro de Penas(de la Pena) and Maria de Orozco. Melchor de Valencia Pina (III) is indeed the son of Melchor de Valencia Pina (II) and Juana de la Pena/Orozco.

Unfortunately, I don't yet have a concrete lead to share on Nicolas de Valencia and Josefa Martinez. I have a tiny lead on a Nicolas de Valencia (His parents were not listed, but, it does say that he was an Espanol from Tangancicuaro, Michoacan) that married a Josefa Nunez in Zamora in 1674. They had a son named Nicolas de Valencia Nunez, however, I have to yet to find if this Nicolas de Valencia Nunez ended up in Ocotlan nor have I found if he married a Josefa Martinez.

I can tell you that there are other Nicolas de Valencias in Michoacan in the late 1600s. The others that I have found do not appear to have lived in Ocotlan nor did they father a son named Lorenzo that went on to marry in Ocotlan in 1736. I'll keep looking and

Comment

Does anyone know if she was the sister of Magdalena de Liebana, 2nd wife of Melchor de Valencia? In my tree on Ancestry, it suggested that the parents of Ana de Liebana are Alvaro Maciel and Isabel del Castillo Orosco.

Ana and Melchor's first wife were both my 10th great grandmothers.

Comment

Yes, there was an Ana de Liebana, daughter of Alvaro Yanez Maciel and Isabel Orozco del Castillo. She was married to Antonio Rodriguez Morfin who had the following children:

Ana Morfin cc Francisco de Zepeda y Castro
Geronimo Morfin cc Diego de Garibay y Mendoza
Juana Morfin cc Juan Tamayo
Maria Morfin cc ??? she had a Valencia child and a Moreno child
Isabel Morfin cc Melchor de Valencia Pina (III) This Melchor was the son of Melchor de Valencia Pina (II) and Juana de la Pena.

Hi Daniel.
I have the same question because some my maternal grandmothers ancestors were also from Cotija. What lines are you tracing in Cotija?? Mine are Mendoza and Farias. Rafael Meraz

Hi Rafael,

My line is Valencia in Cotija. You'll notice that Cotija film starts around 1800 or so. Before that
I still have not discovered where people would go. I have had no luck since I never really studied
my Valencia family. I would guess a good place to check would be Sahuayo or Jacona. Lots
of families from Cotija moved to Tamazula, La Barca, Ciudad Guzman, etc.

Rafael:

On March 20th 1918, Ines Chavez garcia, called "El Indio", attacked the Cotija and made a series of misdeeds with a group of approximately 1000 men and, among other disasters, they burned the parish records. That's why we do not exist. The only references are some marriage information, records of confirmations and books that were sheltered in Zamora and the information in the Archivo General de la Nación.
There are some books that can give valuable references on the inhabitants of Cotija:
1.-Cotija, Un pueblo y una época. Leonel Tinajero Villaseñor, B. Costa Amic, Editor, México, 1971.
2.-Cotija, Cuna de Trotamundos, primera parte. José Romero Vargas, México, 1973.
3.-Cotija durante las revoluciones 1900-1926, segunda parte. José Romero Vargas, B. Costa Amic, editor, México, 1978.
These books have been very useful for my family tree. I hope they are useful for you too.

Luis:

My cousin Linda and share a line through the Mendez de Torres that goes back to Cotija, Michoacan. We descend from Jose Cayetano de Valencia who married Maria Josefa de los Dolores de Figueroa. This couple married sometime ca. 1812 in Cotija or Tamazula de Gordiano or the surrounding area. Josefa Figueroa was born on 18 Aug 1798 in Tamazula de Gordiano. They had Francisca de Figueroa who later on 13 Jun 1833 married my third great grandfather Jose Guadalupe Sabas Mendez de Torres in Tamazula. The family would stay in Tamazula where eventually my father was born We have not found any baptismal records for their kids, though they all married in Tamazula all state they are from Cotija like their father. I do not doubt that this Valencia family is the same one who populated places like Sahuayo, Jiquilpan, Zamora, etc. Do you have any clues or any advice I could use. Since many records of Cotija appear to be lost or burned.

As a follow up to this thread, does anyone know where I can get these books?

I seem to have come to a dead end on my Barbosa line, as they were from Cotija, then moved to Tamazula in the 1790's / early 1800s... also one of my ancestors from there was named Guizar, which seems to be a common name in Cotija.

Any help is appreciated...

The books are:

1.-Cotija, Un pueblo y una época. Leonel Tinajero Villaseñor, B. Costa Amic, Editor, México, 1971.
2.-Cotija, Cuna de Trotamundos, primera parte. José Romero Vargas, México, 1973.
3.-Cotija durante las revoluciones 1900-1926, segunda parte. José Romero Vargas, B. Costa Amic, editor, México, 1978.

I can only seem to find first editions online which are very expensive

Hello Gaby,

I have Bernabe de Guizar as the son of Domingo de Guizar and Isabel de Silva y Bedoya. Magdalena de Valencia I have down as the daughter of Juan de Valencia Pina and Lucia de Torres Guerrero y Oceguera

Here's Bernabe's bautizmo:

May 24, 1691(Zamora, Michoacan)

Here's Domingo and Isabel's marriage:

February 28, 1688(Zamora, Michoacan)

I have a matrimonial dispensation available for one of their kids:

Matrimonial Dispensation for Juan de Guizar Valencia and Maria Teresa Maldonado Orozco - February 16, 1757 (Cotija, Michoacan)

In my records, I have that Bernabe and Magdalena had, at least, the following children:

Juan de Guizar Valencia who married Maria Teresa Maldonado
Bernabe de Guizar Valencia who married Maria Josefa de Torres
Tiburcio de Guizar Valencia who married Maria Gertrudis Ruiz and later Josefa del Toro

I've seen in the archives of Morelia, Michoacan that the Guizars of Michoacan seem to have originated in Puruandiro, Michoacan. The oldest references I

I don't...although, my Guizar family line has been very difficult to track. My Great Grandmother was Luciana Navarro Guizar and her parents were Pascual Navarro and Martina Guizar, they were from Zapopan Jalisco, my Great Grandfather Higinio Saldivar Macias and his family were all mostly from Nochistlan...although, my Great Grandparents had their children in Tamazula De Gordiano...think there may be a connection with your Guizar family and mine? I do also has Valencia DNA matches on 23andMe.

In reply to by AJaime76

We may have a connection from Tamazula as I have may ancestors from there...

I don't have a DNA thing yet, I may get it in the new year, honestly I am not too keen on some company having my dna profile lol... too conspiracy theory for me :)

All I can gather from the census that were shared is that the Guizar name was not in Cotija until the mid 1700s, so that makes me wonder where they came from... I hope someone on here can chip in

Have a great day!

Yes! I'm not sure where they originated either, but I do have one last living relative, an Aunt that was one of my Great Grandparents children...and she says that a lot of her Guizar family was very fair skinned and lots of them with colored (green, blue) eyes, which leads me to believe maybe European? This is my email address if you would like to contact me about the Guizar family that I do have on my tree to see if there may be a connection somewhere angelica.p.jaime@gmail.com

As for the DNA process...I felt the same way, but you can OPT out of having your DNA public or available to the Police Department, they have that option. Honestly, the only ones who should really worry are convicts lol

Hello Primos!

Comment

Dear Carlos,

I started with many of the same questions and have come up with some answers. There are many “Pedro Ledesma” in the mix.

The Pedro Ledesma son of Pedro Ledesma (from Zamora) and Isabel del Grado (from Salamanca) is not the same person as “Conquistador Pedro De Ledesma”. The Conquistador arrived in 1536 with Blasco Nuñez Vela and fought along Pedro Alvarado in Guatemala and Yucatán. He is a vecino in Mexico City in 1556. Conquistador Pedro Ledesma became a friar in 1567 He was widely known to be educated and wise.

Catalina Mexia De La Torre is the daughter of Melchor Perez De La Torre and the first of his three wives, Francisca Jerez (India). Most genealogists make the mistake of saying that Catalina is the daughter of his second wife because there are records saying that she is Pedro Ledesma’s mother-in- law, but Catalina is her stepdaughter. Catalina is named as a daughter in her stepmothers will. This Pedro Ledesma and Catalina lived in Colima and

There is another Margarita Martin de Sotomayor who is a single mother but not sure as i did not have her as a child of Andres Martin de Sotomayor (but I haven't reviewed it). You are also related to my cousins the Lomelins and if I could ever find the parents of Manuel Rodriguez 1750 cc to Petra Alonzo (Pinos, Las Vuidas, Aguascalientes or San Luis Potosi) maybe through the Rodriguez as well.
