Don't be discouraged at the slowness of this type of research. When
I first started I only had my father's birthdate and location and his
parent's names obtained from his fourth wife when he died. He had

So far I have found a Tomasa Romero married to Alejandro Martin Del Campo,
whose son, Tomas married Nieves Munoz in 1850 in Guadalajara. I don't know
yet the name of the young man Rosario married, whose last name was Romero,

Hi Corrine,

The wedding picture is beautiful. I wish I had more pictures of my
Romero's. I will upload what I have. Your Romero husband could be
related to my family. There is a resemblance. However, I still

Hello Arturo, Thank you so much for your offer to help. I know from what I've read, this a group that is ready and willing to share. Unfortunately, the only solid information I have is what Joseph was so kind to place on file w/the Nuestros Ranchos group. If you can think of anything I might have missed, I'd certainly appreciate it. Thanks again, Alice

SALUDOS A TODOS:
Una vez mas les pido ayuda a mis primos mas sabios! What is Ayuntamiento in the city government? What is the purpose and how does it compare to what we have in the United States. Would there be any reason to view these films and how or what strategies would any researcher need to use and follow. Any and all guidance would be appreciated.

When researching my family in SLC some years back, I copied the film
number (eg. 0218487, pg. 310, 311) for my reference records. I see
now that in order to add this film to our website film list, I must

So, Francisca was born Francisca Cabral (father's name) Figueroa (mother's
name). Alberto was born Alberto Martin Del Campo (father's name) Robles
(mother's name). When they married, Francisca then became Francisca Cabral

I am new so excuse me, but if I want at least one and possibly a total of six records from a San Diego De Alejandria that is on the film list, whom do I contact? Thanks.

Could anyone advise me on where to find Wills for these two cities? I have not found any microfilms on this information yet. Also, land records? I know some lines I am researching owned land. I have looked at the Fort Wayne Indiana genealogy library, but they did not have many Mexican records.

For those who enjoy old family pictures, I have uploaded some to an album called Robles/Martinez fam. of Aguascalientes which is located under the Members' and meetings album on the website.

Hello, I'm Yolanda. I'm working on my motherside of
the family.
My Grandfather Pedro Jauregui was born 1892 at La
Estancia Zacatecas. I believe it's just outside of
Aguascalientes. His father was Rosalio Jauregui.

I forgot to place two more photos in my Martin Del Campo album. They are of
Alberto's mother, Rita Robles Rivera, taken with his sister, Dolores, whom
we know as "Aunt Lola," and the other picture is of Aunt Lola in Los Angeles

Hello Everybody

Iam new and i need help looking for familiy it seems that i cant find any family from pinos, jalisco and Zacatecas if you guys think that you are link to any of this people just let me know Thanks

Corrine,

If I'm not mistaken in Mexico the wife's surname does not change after marriage. She continues all the days of her life with her name of birth. Say she was born as Maria, Anastacia Gonzales, (hypothetical name) and she marries Juan Flores, she is then Maria Anastacia Gonzales de Flores. If she registers to vote or goes to the doctor or applies for any legal document she is still Maria Anastacia Gonzales the wife of Juan Flores. Her children would have both parent's surnames, first surname is the father's second would be the mother's, thus they would be Maria Flores, Gonzales or Juan Flores Gonzales.

I needed to add that I uploaded the Martin Del Campo photos in the Members
and Group Meetings Album. I had at first made it an album of its own, but
just corrected my mistake and placed it where it is supposed to go. The
