Hello,

I'm researching my family tree in Leon, Guanajuato. I'm trying to find the name of the town that my ancestor, Jose Epifanio Monjaras, was born in. In the attached Baptism record, the town looks like it says Caraeol, but I'm not having any luck finding that town or anything similar. The Baptism was in Leon, so the town must be near. Parents names are Juan Monjaras and Andrea Ramires. See attached image.

Appreciate any help!

Thank you,

Stephanie

I am looking for information regarding the Marquez families in Teocaltiche, more specifically from Atepoca.  I was told that my great grandmother, Francisca Marquez lived in a Hacienda, but I can not find that information anywhere.  Does anybody know how I can go about finding out that information?  

I have discovered that I am a descendant of Lorenzo de Luevana (died abt. 28 Jul 1741 in Aguascalientes) and his wife, Catharina Marin de Tiscareño (died about 25 Jul 1737). I have Lorenzo's parents' names from his burial record, but the parents of Catharina were not mentioned in hers. I looked at some trees at Family Search and Ancestry to try and get a sense of additional ancestors for this couple, and while some names are mentioned, I don't see any specific proof to add connections. For example,  the marriage record for Lorenzo's parents, Andres de Luevana and Cristina de Salazar, does not include parents, but people have identified some; however, there is no noted record to confirm the connection. 

Does anyone have any more on Lorenzo and Catharina (I'd like an identification and proof of her parents) or on Lorenzo's ancestry? 

Thank you!

Just wondering if anyone has seen something like this. For the marriage of Diego Ximenez and Apolonia Diaz de Leon (Ruis de Esparza), there is a marriage recorded in Asientos (Nuestra Señora de Belen) on 23 enero 1710 (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-67YS-D95?i=23&wc=M6QX-…). The entry starts at the end of page 23 and continues on page 24. But there is an entry in Informacion Matrimonial in the city of Aguascalientes dated 8 febrero 1710 (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-DCF9-WL6?i=226&wc=M6QX…) for the same couple. I cannot find a marriage record in February or March in El Sagrario records. A curiosity.

En un par de ocasiones, hemos perdido un miembro de la familia y su viuda desaparecio del mapa; en ocasiones solo con un nombre, en otras solo una ciudad ("Era una americana de Los Angeles.")

Segun su acta de bautizo, Don José Guadalupe Padilla de la Torre (1861–1929) nace en Tres Palos.

Don José Bruno Macías Valadéz Muñoz (1851–1915) descrito en censos como agricultor, nació el 6 de octubre de 1851 en Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes, México, hijo de Secundino y Rita.

Los fundadores de la linea son Macedonia Arellano Alcalá de Gómez (1859–1922) de Santo Cristo Milagroso, Tanhuato de Guerrero, Michoacán y Cenobio Gómez Peña (1860?-1915?) tambien del estado de Michoa

En el caso de los Gómez/Rico aun su identidad es una conjetura: El lugar y tiempo estan correctos, y Atilano es un nombre familiar; pero realmente ni se siquiera si son las personas correctas.
