Hi Danny

I would guess she's the daughter of Francisca Escoto y Tovar and Isidro de Villalobos, born in Feb 1694:

Welcome. I have been mapping out the Tiscarenos, Rodriguez, Contreras for the last year. If you go to www.Familysearch.org and look up the following ID L6V7-36Z ​ for encarnacion you will find Encarnacion Tiscareno to Captain Juan Tiscareno de Molina in the 1600. After that the records on Familysearch become murky because many people add their knowledge of the these famous people and many do not agree on who belongs to whom.

There are a few snags that need to be cleared because in the 1730 there are several Antonio's, records that don't match with a deceased parent and possibly two same name women married to different name husbands during the same period who the husbands are married to two sisters and one who had 3 wives etc. There needs more research and there are records for Encarnacion to be merged.

Sarod,

how do you look up that ID? where do you put that number, I've never known
how to look up ID on family search.

Each person gets an ID when created and you can locate a person with their name enter in the Find or enter an ID which is more precise because familysearch will not always give all names or even the same search of people.

Step 1. Sign into www.Familysearch.org you will see the home page with choices
Step 2. The choices are Family Tree Menu Search Indexing
(CLICK Family Tree)
Step 3. A drop down menu will appear after clicking on Family Tree title and choose
FIND
Step 4. The FIND feature will go to default of searching by NAME, next to it is FIND BY ID
Step 5. Enter the 7 digit number as it appears L6V7-36Z
Step 6. CLICK FIND
Step 7. Encarnacion Tiscareno will appear. hover over with your mouse to the name and
CLICK
Step 8. A new window will appear with the person's profile click on the name and your at the complete profile and family/resources

Thank you for the share the Tree is great. My grandfather Julio dba Julian was child of Encarnacion and he married Natalia Rodriguez child of Ynes Rodriguez and Ma Cleofas Duron. I have located info on the both of them but have not been able to locate a birth certificate for my grandmother Natalia. Thank you again!!!

Comment

Rosario,

Im not familiar with the actual people you mentioned but I have several
ancestors with the same last names so your ancestors and my ancestors are
proably connected at some point. I checked to see if your ancestors are on
the Wikitree, but they're not. although I can add them if you want and see
where they connect to mine. i was wondering if you know how to use
familysearch.org to look up your ancestors? cause I checked and your
ancestors are there, I think you shoud be able to go back several
generations. If you look up your great grandparents Encarnacion Tiscareño
and Maria Natividad Tirado on https://familysearch.org/search/ you'll see
that Encarnacion Tiscareno and Maria Natividad Tirado were married on
October 30, 1869.

To find the marriage record may take a little time the firs time you look,
but it gets easier. it probably helps if you can read cursive which I
couldn't at first, but now I can. my mom said they used to teach it in
school but we never really learned it

Thank you for all the information and yes I have used family search but the way you explained it has helped me understand more on how to use it. I wanted to share with you that my grandfather Julio Tiscareno had another sister named Apolonia Tiscareno and three of his daughters are living, two of my aunts reside in Aguascalientes. I am trying to obtain more information from my aunt and learn the history she knows. I am also researching the Amerindian line that is in the family.
It is fine if you want to add my ancestors to your wiki tree and perhaps we will discover how we are connected. Thank you again for your help.

Paul, there's several advantages to posting on the Wikitree. For me who's in high school, I don't have money for sites like Ancestry, but more important is because it's free anyone can see it without paying, unlike Ancestry and other sites. Plus it's shared by lots of people who contribute. So if your looking you'll see several different people that have added to the tree.

Geneanet, which has both free and paid modes, has some of the better reporting features of the online genealogy software. You can generate ahnentafel and register reports in a number of formats/styles (the can be saved as PDFs files or copied to a word processor). It can generate simple ancestor tables/lists. It can generate both ancestor and descendant charts. A nice feature is that it will determine relationships between two different people, including when there are multiple relationships. A very nice feature is that it will also draw charts to show these relationships.

I had a free access to the paid (or premium) mode for a trial period and there are some very useful features here as well.

This is worth taking a look at.

Geneanet is also free and it is leaner (less clutter) and it doesn't have ads like Wikitree does. Anyway, for your entry on Juan de Tiscareño http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/De_Tiscare%C3%B1o-1 you can add María Gertrudis de Tiscareño y Chávez as his daughter. She was baptized 31 Aug 1715 and married around 17 Dec 1735 based in the Información Matrimonial indexed by George Fulton. The record is at https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-266-11757-68612-51?cc=1502404 It states that there was a dispensa de cuarto grado de consanguinidad. In the book San Gabriel Valley Families of Nueva Galicia by Rosanne Gonzales-Hardy she states that the dispensa was on 9 December 1735 and it mentions Franciso de Tiscareño, the father of Juan de Tiscareño, as the son of Juan Tiscareño and Isabel Romo de Vivar but Francisco is said to be an illegitimate child of Juan Tiscareño by Daniel Mendez at http://www.nuestrosranchos.org/node/17966?page=3 Francisco de Tiscareño married María González de Huerta before

Paul,

I use Geneanet for my family tree (direct ancestors only). I agree with Armando and George in that it is the best free online genealogy site. I also use Wikitree for its collaboration features. Its through Wikitree that I have met and worked with several fellow Nuestros Ranchos members to connect our family trees and find new ancestors. I've also had the pleasure of working with distant relatives who have roots in colonial California, New Mexico, Texas and other parts of Mexico. The best feature of Wikitree, in my opinion, is its DNA tools which provides users information to help with matching with other users who have added their DNA test types. The benefits of this feature will only get better as more users with ancestry in 'Los Altos' join and add their DNA test types. So if your interested please send me an email and I can get you started. By the way those pesky ads go away once you login.

I just saw the wikitree and it looks great. My father was Jose Ines Tiscareno DOB 04/20/1929 born in Calvillo Ags, Mx and passed on 01/28/2007 in El Paso Texas. He was married to my mom Josefina de Anda daughter of Leobardo de Anda and Carmen Meza. Who on the tree is your close relative? I have a tree on Ancestry which I started years back but work has not permitted me too much time to do a lot of updates but I still work on it as much I can.

I added the people you mentioned yesterday. I didn't know when Josefina de Anda was born so I just guessed she was a little older than her husband based on her parents age, but not sure. about who was the closest relative, we dozens and dozens of the same ancestors, but most of them didn't connect until a few generations back.

My mother Josefina de Anda was born on 03/03/1916 and passed away on 07/23/1984 in El Paso, Texas. I spoke to one of my aunts in Aguascalientes, I asked her some questions, unfortunately she did not have too much information but did share that my grandfather Julio Tiscareno was part of Los Cristeros back in the 1920's. I did some research on it and it is an interesting part of Mexico's history.
I added a profile to wikitree but still have to learn how to use it.

Brian,
welcome to the group. As you probably know, there is limited amount of information for Jalpa, but I have found that it is still possible to discover roots that extend well into the 17th century and beyond.

I didn't see an immediate connection between your family tree and my families, but you may find your Sandoval line extending to Tlaltenango as mine did to Gaspar Sandoval Guzman (b~1690) and his grandfather Nicolas Sandoval. You can look at my GEDCOM to see if there any connections.

My focus is the families that first settled La Villita. In addition to what you'll find online thru FamilySearch.com, there is a 1820 Census (I've put the link to the 20 or so pages in another posting), the work that Claudia Casillas and others have put in to transcribe the marriage dispensations that pre-date 1864 in Jalpa, the Tierras y Aguas films of land grants (often listing family information), and other archives (like "Archivo de la Real Audiencia" http://www.bpej.udg.mx/ra_busc1 and El

Thanks for the welcome Arturo!

I've started hitting a dead end with the Sandoval line because they seemed to have stayed in the Jalpa area for a while, so I haven't been able to trace them back through indices, like I have been able to with some of their spouses or other family lines.

Thanks for the additional sources - I'm sure they'll keep me busy.

I'm still amazed at the vast amount of information I have been able to put together based on the FamilySearch data.

It really is too bad that the 1930 Jalpa census is missing; it would be so useful.

My DNA shows shows Paternal haplogroup: R1b1b2a1a2f* (a subgroup of R1b1b2); 23andMe classifies this group as mostly western european

Maternal haplogroup: A2 (a subgroup of A), 23andMe classifies this as mostly the Americas/East Asia

There aren't very many records to review for Juchipila which seemed disheartening at first. But, if Ysidra and Juan Jose M were born around 1800, and they lived into their 50's or even into their 70's --well , you have death records. And there is a death record for Ysidra Luna: parents named, place of origin named, left Juan Medina a widower, 2nd marriage. Juan Medina is still living so look for his record in the Catholic Church register and in the Civil Registration records.

Yolanda, not all records are indexed. You have to go to rolls and sometimes go page by page. I did send you the link in the first message. You should be able to click on it and it will take you to the page. If you can't use the link then go to familysearch Mexico, Zacatecas Church records/find Juchipilas/and go to Defunciones. The digital image # is on my first post. You'll need to search page by page for Juan Medina. I searched once and didn't find him but I may have missed him. Also, I'm sorry to say there are some years missing.

Yes thank you! This does help me. I do have some follow-up questions now.

I had not been able to read "Rosalia". Since the grooms name is Juan Miguel de Luna y Lopez, does that mean that his mother's last name is Luna?

Also, is the bride's father's last name Dias?

Again, Rosalinda, thank you so much for your help.

Comment

Bernarda Aleman I found a couple of weeks ago I've been trying to find spouses for 3 of my Alemans in the late 1600. Aleman is really Sifuentes de Aleman so sometimes the name Sifuentes will appear on one of the children. They are from San Luis Potosi. record ID above in subject line for ana luisa dias and juan miguel de luna y lopez. I have Luna in the 1600 but have not found another in my line yet. Good luck

Go to FamilySearch.org, log in, Go to Family tree, do a search for anyone. If you get some results then their ID should be right under their name for example:

Go to https://familysearch.org/
Then click on Family Tree
Then click on find
Then put in say, Antonio Gonzalez the result I got was:

Antonio Gonzalez
LD25-S6J ---- this is the Record ID

NOTE: I'm not exactly sure but the Record ID's seem to be directly related to individuals that are connected to Family Tree. So say for example you do a general search outside of family tree then it is very possible that NO Record ID will appear.

First, Welcome!

I did find and merge records for Narcisco Arellano married to Juliana Villarreal. They do have a son named Refugio. Narcisco's father Rosalio Arrellano may be the same rosalio married to Maria Ambrosia Contreras. I have not reviewed those records as it seems rosalio was either married twice or two separate individuals. On the Villarreal I merged records to 1785 about. If I find that rosalio is married to contreras you can find out by selecting the Star marked WATCH. I have many contreras in my family so she might be family.

Comment

Sorry, new to this site (first day) and I'm still navigating it. Where do I find the merge records you are referring to.

I did find through Ancestry a Narciso Arellano married to Juliana Villareal My Narciso (abt 1826) is married to JUANA Villareal. It could be that they are the same person. I would like to view what you merged. How do I do that. Thanks so much.

Comment

I'm having a hard time confirming that Juana is Juliana. Both are married to Narciso. . I understand that women had two or even three names but I can't find proof that Juana is Juliana. Refugio's marriage certificate indicates Juana as his mother. All the other children's documentation is the baptismal certificate that indicates Juliana is the mother, however, Refugio does not have a baptismal certificate to indicate that Juliana is his mother. Refugio is my direct descendant and so I need more proof that Juana is Juliana on a record related to Refugio.

Did you find Refugio's baptism certificate? That would be solid proof.

Comment

I went back to look at the record but the name of Juliana was removed. Juliana is the person for this record as she is mentioned on several of the children's records. If you have a blank, the computer cannot check for other records that might reveal more information. You can always put Juana as an AKA.

Comment

Check out this link which is a marriage doc of Refugio Arellano and Magdalena Garcia. The doc says Refugio is 26 years old in 1877 which would make his birth year around 1851. It also says he's an hijo natural, so his parents were not married when he was born. I'm not sure if this is the Refugio you are looking for, but it lists his parents as Narciso Arrelano and Juana Villareal.

Thanks for the links. I see where it state "hijo natural". Very interesting because I do have an image through ancestry.com ("Refugio Arellano and Magdalena Garcia in the Zacatecas, Mexico, Civil Registration Marriages, 1861-1952") of their marriage certificate which state "hijo legitimo de Narciso Arellano and Juana Villarreal" So I'm a little confused. I think I'm just overthinking this. Thanks for the help. Sometimes I just need a second opinion, actually you are the third.

I'm going to go with the "AKA Juana" and add Juliana to my tree as Refugio's wife which will populate the rest of the tree.

Muchas Gracia Juan.

Comment

Xochitl,

We do have common ancestors. My paternal and maternal lines are from Nochistlan. In looking at your files, our common ancestors are Antonio Corona and Maria Dolores Ximenez. I'm sure we have other common ancestors via the Gomez, Aguayo, Duran, Munoz, Alvarez, Macias, Ruiz, Marin, Acosta, Martinez, Ulloa, Jauregui, Martinez, Cervantes, etc.

If you run into roadblocks with your Macias line from Nochistlan, that last name was interchangeable with Alvarez. This was a roadblock of mine for a few years until I realized that some siblings were listed as Macias and others as Alvarez.

Saludos prima,
Juan Aguayo

Comment

wow! That's pretty cool. I was hoping I would find a common relative. Glad to know you, if only via this website. Antonio Corona and Maria Dolores Ximenez are my 5th Great Grandparents on my Grandfather Florentino Gomez' side. What is your relation to them? I read up on relations and how the cousin line works, 5th cousin twice removed and so on. I'd be interested.

Thanks for the hint on the Macias line. I'll look into that.

Gracias Primo
Xochitl

Comment

Xochitl,

The relation to my 6th great grandparents Antonio Corona and Maria de los Dolores Ximenes is through my paternal great-grandmother Maria Candelaria Aguirre Rodriguez who was baptized Feb. 02, 1901 in Nochistlan. The connection goes like this:

Maria Candelaria Aguirre Rodriguez-> Jose Felipe Aguirre Cervantes(b.02May1858)->Maria Refugia de Jesus Cervantes Aguayo (b. 06Jul1823) -> Jose Maria del Rosario Cervantes Corona (b. 03Oct1796) -> Maria Agapita Corona Ximenez (b.07Jun1767)-> whose parents are Antonio Corona and Maria de Los Dolores Ximenes!

I'm sure I'll find other mutual ancestors via the Duran and Munoz. The first documented Duran in Nochistlan is Juan Ximon Duran Duque to whom I have a paper trail through various lines. Jose Luis Vazquez y Rodriguez de Frias' book Genealogia de Nochistlan Antiguo Reino de la Nueva Galicia suggests Juan Ximon married Regina de Aguayo in approximately 1625, as their first child, Juan Duran el mozo, was born in 1626.

Saludos,
Juan

It seems we have an even closer relation by one generation. Maria Agapita Corona and Jose Maria del Rosario Cervantes (who I believe would be your 5th Great grandparents, my fourth great grandparents) who are the parents of Jose Maria de Rosario Servantes (your direct ancestor) and Rafael Cervantes (my ancestor) That is where the split happens.

My line is my grandfather Florentino Gomez (b1900) -> great grandmother Catalina Cervantes (b1867)-> 2x great grandfather Evaristo Cervantes (b 1844) -> 3x great grandfather Rafael Cervantes (b. 1795) -> 4x great grandparents: Jose Maria Cervantes** (b abt 1765?) and Maria Agapita Corona Ximenez (b.07Jun1767)

Hola Saul,

I did read the link and I don't think it's the same person. My Rafael Cervantes (b 1795) married Maria de los Santos Franco in 1816. His parents are Jose Maria Cervantes (b 1765) and Maria Agapita Corona (b 1767). In 1802 he would be about 7 or 8 years old.

Thank you for your assistance, if i do get into a bind, i will definitely reach out to you.

Xochitl,

I think sometimes the baptisms will say a child is an hijo natural if the
parents are not married in the church. Or they could've gotten married
after the baptism but before they recorded the birth.

Los hermanos de mi mama tienen ojos azules, y ella verdes. No nadamas eso pero son rubio y pecosos también, por eso muchos de mis hermanos son rubios y pecosos. También se ven estas características en mi lado paterno, pero mucho mas en mi lado materno. Cuando un primo o un hermano mio nace y sale rubio, ojos azules y pecoso se dice que salio Villalpando porque ese es el apellido de mi madre.

Durante largo tiempo he estado investigando el origen racial de los Alteños. Hay muchos mitos sobre ello. Se dice que son blancos, rubios, de ojos claros porque los soldados franceses de la Segunda Intervención dejaron su descendencia en Los Altos. En realidad después de muchas búsquedas sólo habíamos encontrado la descendencia de un soldado del ejército francés de origen africano, de raza negra, en Los Altos. Este descubrimiento reportado aquí es extraordinariamente interesante porque fundamente el matrimonio de un soldado francés con una mujer mexicana (tal vez alteña). ¡Felicitaciones a su descubridor!

En realidad algunos de los alteños (no tanto como se dice) son blancos, rubios y de ojos claros no por la Segunda Intervención Francesa sino porque desde muy antiguo algunos de los primeros labradores españoles presentaban esas características. Hay un obispo que habla en su visita pastoral allá a principios del siglo XVII de esas características de los

Estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo Alfonso. Los alteños, y otra gente de
México, tenia ojos azules desde antes de la Segunda Intervención Francesa.
Mis tíos abuelos, de Lagos de Moreno, no hubieran podido haber tenido ojos
azules solo por medio de mi bisabuelo que era un vasco español con ojos
azules y sin sangre francesa comprobado por sus documentos que tengo hasta
el siglo XVI. Su matrimonio con una alteña de Lagos de Moreno, de
ascendencia española y mestiza sin sangre francesa, fue la razón que dos de
sus hijos tuvieron ojos azules como otros alteños sin ascendencia francesa.
Varios parientes lejanos de mi bisabuela tienen ojos azules y no tienen
ascendencia francesa en sus árboles genealógicos.

Hace falta que mas personas que tienen parientes o ancestros con ojos
claros platique de su gente y de sus árboles y que escriben libros. Todavía
hay gente en Los Altos que creen que son güeros con ojos claros por tener
sangre francesa sin tener documentación que lo comprueba y eso

I don't think it was just Altenos who looked "French". My father was from Jerez, Zacatecas, and people with his surname Olague (a Basque name) first settled in Pinos, Zacatecas in the 1500s. My father said that his grandfather was called "el Frances" because he had blue eyes. When I did my research on the Olagues in Zacatecas, there were no French at all, only "espanol" going back to the 1600s in Zacatecas. When I went with my father to Zacatecas in the 1960s, we passed through some villages where the people were morenos with blue eyes. I asked why they had blue eyes (must to the consternation of my father), and they said that the French had been there. "Los Franceses estubieron agqui" they said, and they smiled.

Hola Alfonso,
Ciertamente parece ser un mito. Por lo menos no fue tan comun como pensábamos.
Te platico que cuando era pequeña, mis tios platicaban que mi tatarabuelo era frances y que cuando fue la revolución francesa se quedó aquí. me decían que su hijo tenía ojos verdes muy claros y yo tengo sus ojos.

Así quedó la historia y resulta que hace un par de años que entré en la investigación genealógica me di cuenta ¡que era falso!

Mis antepasados vienes por un lado,los RODRIGUEZ de Zacatecas entre 1730 y 1750, eran los rancheros que hablaba Francois Chevalier, cuando hablaba de los españoles rancheros, luego estaban los ESTEVES en Cuquio, tambien españoles.

Siguen por parte de mi mama los ARIAS MALDONADO y los BARAJAS, otros españoles que habitaron Ayo el chico y Tepatitlan.

De franceses ¡Nada! jejeje

I too often heard the myths about the French ancestors of Los altos de Jalisco when I was a child. And yes I did learn through decades of research that the French myth as it was told to us was false. Even though I have not found ancestry through French people immigrating to los altos de Jalisco, I was surprised to find that many of the original families that settled in Los altos de Jalisco were from northern Spain, many of them basques, and that many of them had French and English ancestors. More French than English . Even a few German, Italian and Middle East ancestors.Yes, most of our ancestors are from the Iberian peninsula, but most just means over fifty percent. Another thing to remember is that the Iberian peninsula was the original melting pot. An example of one of my ancestors that has a French and English ancestry, along with Spanish ancestry, is my Rodriguez de Hijar/ Fernandez de Hijar line.

Comment

Ricci,

Thank you for sharing the fact that you have also found the myth to be false through your research.

The rest was really off topic from the original posts but since you added it in I will respond. I doubt your French and English ancestors amount to more than 3% which isn't enough to affect the phenotype. The whole myth of the lost French soldiers in Los Altos was due to the phenotype. How far back did you have to go to find French and English ancestors? With about 5 generations of mixing with a different population a person's descendants loses most of their autosomal DNA. So most of your English and French ancestors' DNA would have been lost after about 5 generations and with it the phenotype. At that point the descendants are essentially Spanish and if that took place 20 generations ago that DNA would barely even show up in your results. If you had the ability to document all of your ancestral lines to the past 20 generations I would be surprised if you could prove that even

Dear Armando,

I agree with what you wrote in your post. I have done much research and have worked on my genealogy for close to forty years now. I have much more than twenty generations on many of my lines Since you mention the 20th generation I went to my tree and immediately came up with an ancestor of mine Count D'Evreuex Louis Beaumont de Roger of France. Also 20 th generation Jeanne d'Albret and Arnaud de Curton 17 th generation would be Robert "Robin" Braquemont. I repeatedly descend from these people, along with other French, and what is now France but once called Pamplona. Their descendents intermarried often. But yes, over fifty percent of my ancestors do come from the Iberian peninsula.
From another line the French start at 21 at generation. I also descend from this line numerous times.

Es desconcertante la expresión "yeux Roux" que se encuentra en el documento comentado. En efecto alguno de los participantes en este foro tradujo la expresión "yeux Roux" como "ojos rojos", otro como "rojizos" y otro más "rudos". En realida el término "roux" en francés se utiliza más para designar el color del pelo que el color de los ojos. Cuando se refiere al color del pelo, se trata del color rubio del pelo. Por eso desconcierta que el documento diga que los ojos del soldado francés sean de color rubio ("roux") ya que esa expresión no se usa ni en español y me parece que no se usa en francés pues no decimos "ojos rubios", y en google-france al buscar imágenes bajo la búsqueda "yeux roux" aparece la página

https://www.google.fr/?gws_rd=ssl#q=yeux+roux ni en francés "yeux roux".

En ella sólo aparecen mujeres rubias de pelo pero sus ojos de color azul, verde y marrón.

Totalmente de acuerdo contigo, Julieta. En mis aportes, empleé mal el término "rubio", debí haber empleado la voz "pelirrojo". En efecto, El Diccionario de Real Academia define al rubio como "Dicho especialmente del pelo: De color amarillento, parecido al del oro." Agradezco mucho la corrección de mi error. Y totalmente de acuerdo contigo de que la expresión francesa para rubio es "blond" o "blonde" en femenino.

Sin embargo el problema en el documento comentado es que se diga que el soldado descrito tiene los ojos "roux". ¿Ojos pelirrojos? Hasta donde sé, esa expresión no existe en francés como color de ojos. Investigaré mejor con personas de habla francesa.

Un saludo y mil gracias por la aclaración.

hola Alfonso

el documento sobre el soldado no me llego o no pude abrir, pero me llamo la atencion el enlace que pusiste en donde en las fotos eran todos pelirrojos y tu escribias rubios :) es verdad que a veces hacemos errores tan obvios que no los notamos y creo que asi te paso a ti esta vez. :)

pero volviendo a los ojos rojos yeux roux, encontre en un libro , que aqui te paso el enlace, al parecer yeux roux es un termino que se usaba en la epoca de Napoleon y que describia unos ojos color "castana - rojizos" y que actualmente ya no se usa, tambien los habia amarillos y anaranjados !

Hoy me acordé de un estudio de ADN de los restos de una persona que vivía hace 7,000 años en España. Los resultados indican que tenia ojos azules pero tez morena. Fueron miles de años después que llegaron personas con tez blanca de Europa oriental a Europa occidental. Todavía están tratando de comprobar en cual continente y cual grupo étnico apareció la tez blanca por primera vez. Posiblemente apareció por primera vez en Asia y no en Europa.

I believe that much of the history of the French legends in Jalisco and Zacatecas came not just from the blue or green eyes but because of the ancestors of many of the conquistadors. When I first studied the background of Hernan Cortez and the men that came to Mexico with him I was surprised to find that the majority of them came from three areas. One of those areas was the extremadura, close to the border with Portugal. The second area where many of these men came from was from the basque region. Many of these men came from an area that is now considered part of France. Just today I found out that an an ancestor of mine that was a conquistador that came from this basque area has maternal grandparents that were from even father north, in the northern region of France.

I, and I'm sure many others, have benefitted enormously from your efforts to index the Dispensas, Capallanas, and Ordenes. Daily I check to see if you've made any new posts and it feels like Christmas when you have. I've been able to find entries that have helped my research from nearly each posting.

that index was one of the few indexes submitted by volunteers, so i'm not sure where the volunteer got that name from. thanks for pointing that out, after looking at the next few pages after 231, i think it maybe related to the entry before on 228, so i'll edit that post to remove that entry.

also there's a possibility that i'll convert some these indexes into excel/access format also.

I may change the theme also since the edit option wasn't showing up when viewing the post on the blog and had to use a round about way of editing that post.

also linda, banuelos/fernandez marriage record you are talking about maybe in a collection that i browsed but didn't index yet. since i do see i have a page from them posted on my tree on my ancestry, but it appears my bookmark link to that page isn't labeled(i occasioonally remember to label bookmarks with the name of the person(s) in document

Hi Katy,

My oldest sister had told me that my grandmothers half sister was married into the Quesadas. I took her word for it because I remembered that someone on my maternal grandmothers side had married a quesada. I just now took a look at my records and i think my sister made a slight mistake. She may be correct that a great aunt of mine married a Quesada because I don't have all of the information on my grandmothers half sisters though I remember meeting them when I was a kid.

What I found in my records is that my great grandmothers half sister, Maria Guadalupe Rodriguez Ybarra was married to Erasmo Quesada y Lopez. She was much younger than my great grandmother as she was from my great great grandfathers third marriage to Priisiliana Ybarra. Maria Guadalupe was closer in age to my grandmothers younger half sisters so that is why I believe my sister mistakenly identified her as her half sister.

In my records, I have Erasmo Quesada Lopez as the son of Jose Quesada Velez and

I took at look at your attachment, and I believe I can offer a bit of help:

Carmen Santana [Ruiz], #5 on your chart, is Maria Carmen Ruiz, who was baptized 1 Aug 1844, San Miguel parish, Ayutla, Jalisco, daughter of Albino Ruiz and Ambrocia Ramona Valle, as you have noted, but the baptismal record gives the grandparents:
....Rafael Ruiz and Maria Coronado (I did not find other info on them)
....Antonio Maria Coronado y Valle and Maria Micaela Gusman (more below)

Antonio Maria Coronado y Valle was from the Rancho de Camajapa (spelling?), Cocula, Jalisco, son of Simon Narciso Valle and Maria Teresa de Lara. He married 12 May 1803, Corazon de Jesus parish, Tecolotlan, Jalisco, Maria Micaela Gusman, daughter of Jose Gusman and Josefa Jauregui.

The document for your great-grandmother is the Matrimonial Investigation. This is a process that takes place prior to marriage in the Catholic Church; it could be a few weeks (if no complications) to months (if there are impediments to the marriage, and a dispensation is needed) before the actual marriage. In a few cases it is only days before the wedding, but this is not common. I suspect the marriage was in June 1926: unfortunately there are no marriage records for this year in El Tuito. The investigations were usually done in the parish that the couple was married in, but not always.

The document says she was 21 years old, originally from and a resident of San Sebastian for 17 years, resident of La Pena for 3 years, and El Tuito for 1 year. I would not take her age as necessarily correct, but would like verification from a baptismal or civil birth record. The baptismal records of San Sebastian del Oeste seem to be pretty complete: there are records for San Sebastian as well

George, you are wonderful!

I had no idea there were pre-marriage investigations. I think the 21 year old is actually my great grandfather, Felix Rivera and not Paula Santana. I did find Felix' baptism record in San Sebastian del Oeste. I think his full name is Jose Felix Rivera (Ribera). I have some updating to do on my family tree, so excited!! :)

A study published by Andrés Moreno-Estrada et al. in 2014 used the dataset from the Bustamate lab that was used for the tests of the DNA of Sandra Cisneros and for Jessica Alba. The study was talked about on this site shortly after it was published. You can read the study if you get a free account to Science Mag. You will have the option for free registration when you try to open the link at http://science.sciencemag.org/content/344/6189/1280.full

Once you do you can get all of the details of the DNA results of Native Mexicans and Cosmpolitan Mexicans from all over Mexico including two of the three states this site is dedicated to which are Jalisco and Zacatecas.

Even without free registration you can see the following ADMIXTURE results for different Native Mexican tribes such as Huichol, Purepecha, Nahua Jalisco and other Nahuas, and different Mayan tribes. As pointed out by RJQ the Aztecs were a Nahua tribe. If you notice almost all tribes have the purple which is a group of

On the PBS show "Finding your Roots," Sandra Cisneros was given a test that she was the first to receive as it was a new DNA test to show from what tribe, Nation one was from. Several people have left comments to find out what test that was but they have been ignored.

"Which DNA test did Sandra Cisneros take to show her Mayan roots? Dr. Gates mentioned it was new"

I thought all of us of Native Americans from New Mexico and Mexico who show Native blood had our DNA traced back to Mayans, no?

I had a question about the science site with the Mayan, Huichol and Nahua
mixtures but my question is not very clear. I know that some of my
ancestors were from the Caxcan tribe headed by the Mendoza's and I don't
know what happened to the Caxcan people, maybe they disappeared or maybe
they just mixed with the Spanish people like Chief Blas de Mendoza. but
does anyone know how that DNA is researched? are they part of the Mayan,
Huichol or NAhuas or have they just disappeared? so as an example say that
all my indigenous ancestors were Caxcan people from Teocaltiche and since
I don't see the Caxcan tribe listed as one of the tribes of the Native
Mexicans on the admixture picture, would my Caxcan DNA be reclassified
under another tribe or would it be redistributed among several different
tribes or just not be listed

Danny,

Check out the following posts my prima Alicia made on Nuestros Ranchos a
few years back. I've attached them here because the Tachiquin last name is
most likely a Caxcan last name that still survives today. As far as I know
there are still some Tachiquin families in el barrio de San Sebastian in
Nochistlan, not far from Teocaltiche. I'm not sure how much of European and
other DNAs have been mixed into this family over the years. My DNA has
Caxcan DNA as most if not all of the people with ancestry in this part of
Mexico does. The Caxcanes have been mixed in with European, African, Middle
Eastern, Asian DNA's present in this part of Mexico. This is the mestisaje
that makes us Mexican. I'm not aware of any pure Caxcan people living
today, but the Tachiquin elders are probably the closest we can get to pure
Caxcan DNA. Years ago Family Tree DNA listed my indigenous DNA as Mayan,
but today it's just listed as Native American most likely because they know
there are distinct and

The above comments on Caxcan surnames was interesting. I was wondering if other NA groups have surnames in Mexico.

I know that there are Yucatec Maya surnames, and they're fairly common. They tend to be regular words, sometimes rather "funny" to our minds. My ex-husband was yucateco, and his maternal surname was Uc, which mean piojo. His mother is Uc Cab (honey). Chan is a common name, not sure of the meaning, as is Balam, which I believe is jaguar. Pech means agarrapatas. I've seen Dzul as well.

Anyway, just an interesting topic.

I am 30 to 40% native american. The best web page that has dna analysis is
gedmatch. Using oracle 4.

You need to get dna test in one of the mayor companies 23 and me,
familytreedna , ancesntry or National geo. The best was 23 and me but it
has change. Fanily tree dna is the best in market i think.

Then you can up load data to

The new dna test was performed by Stanford professor Carlos Bustamante. I'm
by no means an expert on indigenous DNA in Mexico, but I do know there are
measurable differences within the various tribes in Mexico, many of which
do not trace back to the Mayans.

As Juan Aguayo pointed out, the test provided to Cisneros (and, I believe, Jessica Alba in her episode) was provided by Dr. Carlos Bustamante at Stanford. His website https://bustamantelab.stanford.edu/ provides an opportunity to fill out a questionnaire if you are interested in his study on Native American ancestry. The link is on the lower right of the page. The test is not available to the public-- what we saw in the episodes is just a special opportunity given to a few people.

Here's our chance to express our interest, though, and maybe Dr. Bustamante will make the test available to us in the future!

The short answer would be no, its very unlikely that someone can factually find of what native tribe their descendants were from, for once, there was too much mixture after the establishment of the colony to say that a line of native ancestry was of a single party, Aztecs were one of many Nahuatl tribes (although some writings would argue that all Nahuatl were Aztecs) and the ones favored by the Spanish, which in turn made their documentation highly romanticized, consequently many people think in all natives from the Mexico region as Aztecs, but the there were many others and vary by regions. Also is important to note that this subcultures are distinguish by language and not biologically, is obvious that while the different tribes migrated, some of them would mix along the way. Thus wouldn't be impossible to find an Aztec with a Chichimeca dna.

I wouldn't say impossible though, may be as time pass, or like when related to some lineages like the Moctezuma's, that were somehow

when I had my MTDNA (Mother to Daughter only) it came back that my first Mother was Native American Group A. In Mexico she would have been Nahua and that was part of the Aztec Nation. I have no idea what DNA the men would have had.. Unfortunately I have had no luck tracking that line back any further than 1850 or so in Michoacan, Mexico.

Hallo everybody:

As I have understand in Wikipedia in spanish, The Caxcans were one of the 7 Aztlan tribes, so they were related with Aztecs.

Thank You Martha. This was very interesting. I didn't know anything about the Cazcanes really. I wish they were still around today to get more information about.

Katy,

I looked at the Cazcan wikipidia page and it has a lot of sources. It looks pretty researched, I wish I could read it. I think the mention about the similarity to the Aztecs came from this page which is the first cited on the Wikipedia page

I don't know what it says but I can see Antonio Tello is mentioned in the first sentence.

I'm hoping to find information on a Adolfo Martinez B. who was (a judge?) in charge of documenting entries for civil records during 1916 records I found.

Not quite sure if the Hacienda Carro of San Luis Potosi, is the one you are looking for. Before 1799, I believe it was under the jurisdication of Zacatecas. Some of my maternal line is there, but not sure who.
