Hi
I am sifting though images still looking for the elusive Romos (Raphael, Raphaela, and son Manuel). Sometimes I come across a Romo and then I cross check to see if the name has ever been mentioned her in NR. If not, then I post it on the chance that someday someone may need that info - or maybe there is someone out there already needing it.
Catarina Romo:
She shows up as padrina for Jose Vicente, español, legitimate son of Matias Francozo and Anna Gertrudis, natives of this town (Aguascalientes), padrinos were Fermin de Medina and Catalina Romo...
There was no note of Don or Doña.

I searched the name Francozo (Francoso) in IGI because I'd never seen it before (but then I am new at this), and found out that there were many in the Aguasc area and also Guanajuato, and one hit in Enc de Diaz. The earliest Francoso in Mexico in IGI was in 1690 in Tacubaya (Mexico City).At that time it was a beautiful area where viceroys and other families of wealth and prominence had their second homes. (From Wikipedia, article on the "start" quality scale, but it does include references to academic articles)

Hi Denise,
The surname is Trancoso, not Francoso. I have not yet run across the surname Francoso in Aguascalientes, yet Trancoso is a fairly common surname in the region. Look at the difference between the "T" in Matias Trancoso and the "F" in Fermin de Medina.

Hi Bill
You are absolutely right! I looked at it again and wonder how in the world I did not see it...
And Trancoso is also a place in Zacatecas. Could Francoso be a permutation of Trancoso? There are a lot of Francosos in the IGI index in the NR area...(maybe people transcribing made the same mistake I did!)
Regards
Denise
