Romo (de Vivar) Family in Jalisco and Aguascalientes

I'm new to this, and I need help connecting my GGG grandfather José de los Santos Romo de Vivar (b.1807) to what seems to be the original location of most of the Romo de Vivar family in the region of Aguascalientes. I have discovered through family records and FamilySearch transcribed christening records a lineage that takes me back to Bernabe ROMO, listed on a baptismal certificate as the father of Gregorio ROMO (b. abt 1780) of Encarnación (de Díaz), Jalisco. But I am having trouble pinning him down. I have found a Bernave ROMO DE VIVAR who married Anna Gertrudis FRANCO in 1761 in Tepatitlán, Jalisco--and those are the names of my ancestor's parents. But the trail goes cold in Tepatitlán, because I can't find out any more about Bernabe (Bernave) ROMO DE VIVAR, even though I am pretty sure that is his correct name.

LOS MITOS SEFARDITA Y FRANCES (ALTOS DE JALISCO)

Frecuentemente se menciona tanto gente de los altos como externa a ellos que los alteños se desciende de sangre sefardita y de igual manera se dice de familias francesas; bueno acudo a este grupo para hacerles a ustedes esta pregunta y saber que piensan ustedes al respecto. Espero sus comentarios, gracias. ATTE.: Gutiérrez de Mendoza y González de Hermosillo

Romo (de Vivar) Family in Jalisco andAguascalientes

Tepatitlan is not that far from Aguascalientes........people traveled long distances all the time. It might take them days or weeks to get there but travel they did. Keep in mind that they did not go to work every day if they were agrarians, they grew their subsistence crops and in fallow times would travel from town to town to see family. Some were traveling merchants whose living it was to go from town to town selling their wares. In many instances these traveling merchants up and left their home town if they found another town more desirable with better prospects for making a living. Some males had families in more than one town, they might take up with someone in another town.

Kidnappings

Dear Fellow Researchers:

I was surprised to find out that kidnappings were not that unusual. Our ggrandmother was supposedly "stolen" from her parents by a foreigner who was either an engineer or delivered the payroll to the "Mines"

Attention Maria Elena Cortez--MANUEL GOMEZ

Hola Maria Elena,My name is Ronnie Reynoso from Claremont,Calif. My Granndparents are from Los Altos de Jalisco(San Julian ,Jalisco) about 15 minutes from San Miguel el Alto.I checked your file and noticed you have alot of the same family lines> I was checking Prima Irma Gomez Lucero file on MANUEL GOMEZ-my question is is at the bottom letter to Irma . She wrote back recommended I ask you .Irma doesn't recall her source concerning Juana Mendoza 's children 's spouses. I was wondering what is correct.

Fw: ACEVEDO

Thank you so much for the information, my Juan Jose Acevedo was married to Manuela de la Vega; since the only records are their sons marriages, I think they must have married between 1750 and 1773, as their first son was born in 1773. His name was Jose Torribio. I appreciate your information is Tlatenango close to Tepetongo?

End of year progress report

Sounds like a report card, doesn't it.
I can't believe that it is the 2nd of December - already ... where has the time gone??

Well - this is a kind of report card on what I managed to get done in genealogy research. At the beginning of the year I set some goals for my Zacatecas research. I read many films, but the truth is that I didn't find all the information I had set as my goal. Anyway - here is a listing of the films I went through - most did not have indices, which means having to have read them page by page (zzzzz - my eyes got mighty heavy): (NOTE - all are films of Zacatecas)
