Many Askenkenazi only intermarried with other Ashkenazi, even after moving to Spain or Portugal. Rabbi Zacuto descendants intermarried often. that is how Simon Vaez was related to his wife. The extended family followed them to Mexico, and what is now New Mexico, and continued the endogamy. Mr Enriquez, the spouse of the lady that I met at the airport, descends from Ashkenazi that continued marrying Ashkenazi until only recently. That is the only way to explain his DNA results as his family has been in Mexico for centuries. I will get into contact with this Enriquez family and work on their genealogy.

Rabbi Abraham Ben Samuel Zacuto’s ancestry leads to France in the 1200’s just like the Sanchez Hernandez Arellano family
They weren’t Sephardic Jews, they were Ashkenazim.

Miguel De Avalos y Villaseñor was married to Maria Gutierrez. I believe that Teresa Baez (aka Gutierrez) and Maria Gutierrez are the same person.

Miguel is the son of Isabel De Avalos y Sánchez (daughter of Maria Sanchez)

This family connects to the family in post: http://www.nuestrosranchos.org/node/24206?page=2

Enrique,

the dispensation doesnt really specify who the ancestors are, but the Baez and the de la Serna families are the same. I have several of them in my ancestry. My guess is that your Theresa Baez and Lorenza de la Serna are related to my Ignacio Baez aka de la Serna. they're probly all first cousins. Unfortunately, i dont know who is parents are, but his children all use the names Baez and de la Serna:

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/B%C3%A1ez-15

There's a Simon Baez that died in Aguascalientes in 1659 who is old enough to be the father of any of these Baez and de la Serna's. Some people claim that he and his wife Maria de la Cerda are the origin of the Baez de la Serna, but I don't think people would confuse de la Cerda and de la Serna, they're not the same names at all.

Hello Jorge Andres,

I am your very distant relative through our Ruiz de Esparza’s lines.  You can find many posts that I have made regarding our Esparza family in Nuestrosranchos.

You didn’t write much about your mother’s side of the family.  I did a little research using the few clues that you provided. 
Is this The death record of your maternal grandfather: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GRK5-WKG?view=index&action=view&cc=1923424     ?

I'm researching some of my family lines in San Luis Potosí, particularly some ancestors that were born there between 1640 and 1700, and I've found a couple conformed by Joan Estevan de Caceres and Luisa Cavallero, whose daughter Joanna was baptized in the same city on Oct. 27, 1656. They are mentioned as Spaniard neighbors of San Luis Potosí. Maybe there are more relatives lost among these records. The link is above. Good luck with your research.

Additional information that may help:

1.Juana, daughter of Cristóbal Lozano and doña María de Lara, was baptized in Aguascalientes on 26 May 1654. Her godparents were Jacinto Lozano and doña Ana de Lara.

2. Tomás López and María de la Rosa Lozano, 'vecinos de Aguascalientes en el puesto de Juiquinaqui' required a marriage dispensation (7 Feb 1721, Aguascalientes) for the impediment of 'cuarto gardo de consanguinidad'. The relationship from the 'dispensa':

2^o grado: Ana Lozano prima hermana de José Lozano

I am not sure if you already have this information since it is not mentioned in your post, but this is probably information about his daughter and could help in narrowing down his approximate age.

Thank you Manny for sharing!

Manny, did you catch the bit on 210 where it says Francisco Gonzalez ... de Benito de Ysla su suegro. I wasn't sure from the post. 

Thanks for sharing Manny, I've always wondered about the Juana Navarro that Jaime Holcombe mentioned!

I read the last name as “aramburun” and not Barburen (Cristobal de Aramburu m Andrea Gonzalez in 1730, #17 of 571).

I hate the name swap issues so dang much! Happens in italian church records too but nowhere near as often as mexican church records. Nice work!

I think in the second set of documents the cited Juan Moscoso Sandoval is alive. Therefore it cannot be the one married to Catalina Cortes nor his son. It does say Bernardino is the "tio" of the Juan Moscoso Sandoval in the documents.

I cannot say for sure who this Bernardino is but he could be of the generation of Juan Moscoso y Sandoval and Catalina Cortes' children or a child of one of their earliest children. He could be a child of Mariana Moscoso y Sandoval Cortes and Bernardino Gonzalez de Islas for example.

Sorry I couldnt be much help

When adding dispensas to my tree I generally don't consolidate them with other lines without more information due to name similarities.  As such, I never joined the Rios-Siordia dispensa Manny provided to my tree of confirmed descendants of Martin Navarro and Petronila Moctezuma.

IM for Geronimo de los Rios m. Francisca Siordia teaches:

Cristobal Navarro         1. Maria Navarro

Maria Navarro              2. Antonio Siordia

Geronimo de los Rios  3. Francisca Siordia

                                     4. Maria de Chaves

                                     5. Francisca Siordia

Now I understand the trunk of this tree is supposed to be Martin Navarro and Petronila Moctezuma but I was wondering if there was any "smoking gun" that you all are aware of to prove this (i.e. force consolidation with known lines). I get that Maria Gabai y Moctezuma ( i.e. 1. Maria Navarro m. Pedro Hernandez de Vaulus) had a daughter named Juana Siordia so this is a big indicator this is correct. However Antonio

Thank you Manny. My wife has “De la Cruz” ancestry in San Juan de Los Lagos. Do you know if the De La Cruz from Lagos descends from this line?

Thanks Again for your wonderful work,

As usual you have all the sources I already have and then some! Good work Manny, I always look forward to your posts!

Thanks Manny, this information is very useful.

La familia Bravo de Lagunas fue una familia que estaba ligada mediante servicio civil y militar a los duques de Béjar. Una rama pasó a Brabante (actualmente Holanda) estaban relacionados con la familia Ramírez de Coy y probablemente con la familia Rico de Rojas de Querétaro.

Entre los más conocidos estuvo Don Sancho Bravo de Lagunas, alcaide de la fortaleza de Gibraleón.

Otro fue el capitán Juan Bravo de Lagunas, conquistador de México con Hernán Cortés que fue Alcalde Mayor de Chichimecas (Querétaro y Guanajuato) en 1548.

He pasado muchas horas buscando pruebas que sustenten la afirmación del estimado investigador Steven F. Hernández López pero no he tenido éxito. La opinión de este humilde investigador es que acepto los parentescos dados en la dispensa de Juan Antonio Hernández como muy probablemente verdaderas. ¿Qué piensan los demás?

La citada revista fue publicada en 2003. Quizás, en el momento de la publicación del artículo, el señor Steven F. Hernández López no conocía la dispensa de Juan Antonio Hernández. (Tal vez él mismo podría darnos su opinión aquí en este foro).

Hi, I think it's fairly common. In my case, my 3rd grand father (Pedro Navarro AKA Pedro Vivas AKA Pedro Rivas AKA Pedro González) is mentioned as a legitimate child of a Trinidad Navarro and Eugenia Vivas in his marriage information, but in his birth information he's the son of Eugenia Vivas and unknown father. 
To make things more confusing in certain documents he mentions that his father is Luis Gabriel González, but always names his mother as Eugenia Vivas or Rivas. 
Until now I haven't found any dispensa or marriage documents from Eugenia Vivas, so I am guessing the "Legitimate" status in his marriage information may be made up.

Best regards!

I can't believe spaced it earlier.  It is relevant because you and another person were using that as her supposed name.  Maybe it will help with searches later.

Hola Prima. I too have been researching my Pacheco lineage and haven't been able to move beyond the 1850s. It's crazy.

I've done my DNA testing through MyHeritage, Ancestry.com, and am about to send a sample to 23andme later today or tomorrow.

I've found it very difficult tracing the Pacheco lineage.

¡Buena suerte!

Have you looked in the archives of Guadalajara? Don’t forget: Zacatecas was part of the Kingdom of Nueva Galicia during the viceroy period, whose capital was Guadalajara, and some of its historical archives are available online.These archives are not indexed, so you’ll have to go through the individual rolls of film.

Here are the testamentos, 1500-1895: https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/130231?availability=Family%…

Have you tried FamilySearch? they have most church records online.

Looks like the name is JOSEPH DE JESUS NAJAR SANCHEZ and he married Maria de los Dolores Moya Y Plasencia on 05 FEB 1780 at Nuestra Senora De La Asuncion, Jalostotitlan, Jalisco, Mexico, and his parents were MANUEL NAJAR and MARIA GERTRUDIS SANCHEZ.    

  https://www.familysearch.org/tree/pedigree/landscape/MTLL-1TK

Maria de los Dolores Moya Y Placencia has parents named Manuel Moya and it seems like the mother's first name, "Maria Gertrudis", is assumed ...but her surname "Plasencia' appears to carry forward when mentioned in other children and grandchildren birth records.  The mother's name "Maria Gertrudis" is mentioned in the marriage record but it could be a transcription error since the grooms mother's first name is also "Maria Gertrudis".....  Anyway, there it is...hope it helps.

I read the document that confirms that the parents of Alonso Perez Toriello are Diego Rodriguez de Herrera and Ysavel Hernandez Muñoz.    This leads back to the Perstrello family in Portugal which was originally Pallestrelli from Italy.  
 

This Alonso Perestrello (Alonso Perez Toriello) is an ancestor of the Franco, PerezFranco, Perez de Paredes, Franco Perez family in Los Altos de Jalisco.

the prior month of July; so----  "el cuatro de Julio P. PDO ..."  mean the 4th of previous July (the July before this 12 sep entry).  Note that the entry is being recorded on 12 September 1927......so that would mean 4 JULY 1927.  

(From google:  ¿Que se significa el mes proximo pasado?   La expresión próximo pasado se usa para referirse al día, semana, mes o año mencionado inmediatamente anterior; el año próximo pasado es el último que hubo antes de éste.)

Dear Carlos,

I researched the naming of Conquistadors and found that you were right that some people that went on Vasquez De Coronados’s expedition were also referred to as Conquistador. So we have two men named Pedro Ledesma that were conquistadors but they were not involved in the same events.

Thanks,
Rick A. Ricci

I have previously stated that criado meant servant but it had different connotations in the 1500’s. Criado could mean what we now call personal assistant or Subordinate. Many criados when on to hold high positions in government.

Dear Jose Alfredo,

Many years ago I received some information on the Ledezma family from another genealogist that was also researching the Ledesmas that came to Mexico. His primary focus was trying to find his Ledesma ancestors from Guanajuato. He had come to a brick wall so he was researching all the Ledesmas that came from Spain. He informed me that the Ledesma ancestral branch (From Los altos de Jalisco) that I was investigating descended from a family in Zamora Spain that also left much descent in South America. He provided my starting point for investigating in Spain but I also ran into a brickwall like he did. That is until a couple of years later when I was working on another research project and discovered at the bottom of the page written in small print that the Ledesma that I was stuck at was the son of a woman who is the illegitimate daughter of a prince of Castilla. I became fascinated by this find and renewed my efforts into finding my Ledesma ancestry. What I

Hola a todos:

Reconozco algunos de los apellidos de su investigación:

Sotomayor.- Gabriel de Sotomayor era el hombre más rico de Querétaro en 1643. También en Acámbaro había una familia de encomenderos que se apellidaban Sotomayor, sin embargo, no he encontrado suficiente documentación de estas personas.

Ruelas.- Ya en una ocasión transcribí parte del testamento de Juan de Las Ruelas quien testó en Querétaro el 9 de febrero de 1602, dijo ser natural de Sevilla, hijo de Hernando de Las Ruelas y de Francisca de Medina. Heredó varias casas en la Calle Real de Zacatecas a su hija Leonor de Las Ruelas y dijo tener un hijo llamado Hernando que se fue a España y tenía además a sus hijas Beatriz y Felipa de Vargas.

Montañés.- Hay una familia de Querétaro que estuvo ligada con las familias de Jalisco como los Híjar, los Monroy.

Andrés Martín.- Hubo un Andrés Martín natural de Vargas, Toledo que testó en Querétaro en el año 1600, declaró tener un hermano llamado Diego Martín a quien le prestó 300

Mary Lou mentions in her Juan Montanez article that Elena Sotomayor and Diego Perez de Frias were married 9 July 1656 in Pinos. Anyone know how I can locate this record?

Manny,

I've just seen this post, and of course, I am so thankful that you have not only located the various records but have unified them into a narrative that allows us to understand the events reported. I have so many familial lines to study, so when I see a report like this about one of my ancestors, it makes me want to work harder to sort through all of the available documentation I have located. Thank you so much for all the hard work you have spent on this!

Rosalinda

thank you for sharing more great information on our ancestor Maria de las Ruelas.

A super thank you to Mary Lou Montagna for lighting your way.

Thank you so much, Manny, for your discoveries re one of my favorite ancestors. You are persistent, precise and a great narrator. I need to digest this new data and update my files. Stored files that have gathered dust for many years. You may even have coaxed me out of research retirement. Wouldn't it be great to identify that great lady's parents?!

Saludos y mil gracias,
Mary Lou

I’d like to express my immense gratitude for your generosity in sharing these documents, as well as composing such an awesome synopsis of the aforementioned documents- a very enjoyable and comprehensible read!

I have spent many hours rummaging through the San Luis Potosí collections, and I am very glad you have found my ancestor Juan de Salcido’s testamento! I have been working extensively on the de Salcido line for a long time.

Regarding Maria de las Ruelas, she is my ancestor numerous time over across many generations (as I’m sure many of you) and is one of my favorites to explore. In all these documents one would believe we’d get insight into her parentage, but I personally have not yet so the search must continue!

This thread spotlights our abuela Maria de las Ruelas so perfectly that I will post another thread concerning some of the de Salcido documentation I have located over time.

Stay well and mucho agradezco for your plethora of knowledge and generosity.
