Islas and Toledo de Nochistlan

I have an M Islas Gonzalez (given name may be Maria Luisa, there is an
inkblot over most of that part), married to Pedro Antonio Toledo y
Balenzuela, listed as the parents of Luis Toledo, who married Petrona de
Jesus Garcia in Nochistlan on 8 Feb, 1750. Luis Toledo is suppose to be
from the area, but I have not found any other Toledos in that period there,
nor any Islas Gonzalez. I've noted both Islas and Toledos mentioned
recently. Does anyone have anything? Thanks for sharing if you do!--Raquel

Pedro Macias Valadez m. to Josepha Gutierrez, who are the parents of this couple/quienes son los padres de esta pareja?

Pedro Macias Valadez married Josepha Gutierrez around 1650 in Aguascalientes. They had at least three children. Pedro MV who married 1) Francisca Ruiz de Quiroga (de Espitia) and then 2) Luisa Esparza (Gomez); Antonio, and Juana who married Juan Macias Valadez. I was wondering if any one knows who were the parents of Pedro and Josepha. For Pedro, I am guessing he could be either: 1) Pedro b. 11 july 1619, son of Felipe Macias Valadez and Maria Tabera, or 2) Pedro b. 5 june 1625, son of Pedro Macias Valadez and Luisa Villegas. Any help would be appreciated.

Pedro Macias Valadez se caso con Josepha Gutierrez alrededor de 1650 en Aguas. Tuviero por lo menos tres hijos. Pedro, que se caso con 1) Fca Ruiz de Quiroga (de Espitia) y luego con 2) Luisa de Esparza (Gomez); Antonio; y Juana que se caso con Juan Macias Valadez. Quisiera saber quienes fueron los padres de Pedro y Josepha. Para Pedro tengo la sospecha que se podria tratar de: 1) Pedro, nacido 11 julio 1619, hijo de Felipe Maicas Valadez y Maria Tabera, o 2) Pedro, nacido 5 junio de 1625, hijo de Pedro Macias Valadez y Luisa Villegas. Cualquier ayuda sera agradecida.

General Digest, Vol 61, Issue 8

Today I returened from a very very long ordeal to Cocula , Jalisco to check on
the
Marriage of Lorenzo and Justa....(I had requested the books previously but the
priest was out of town and I needed his consent)

Just to find out that :

We must have a letter from the Diocisis de Guadalajara and the person that is
requesting should be doing the search.  No problem in my part but it was just
a bit unconfortable to have new rules I guess  most rules are " a piedrita en el
zapato".

This will have to wait for another trip and first Diocisis de Guadalajara.

The books in particular are of the early 1700

Cocula Jalisco records is the second largest recopilator of data after the
Diocisis.

I am sending this information for those that will be needed to research this
particular San Miguel Arcangel de Cocula Jalisco.

Save you the trip without the letter.

Saludos

Me da mucho gusto que, hasta ahora, muchos miembros de Nuestros Ranchos
apoyen mi propuesta, que ya expres? en mi anterior comunicaci?n,  de no
discutir en esta p?gina web otros temas que no sean los geneal?gicos. Si
alguien desea discutir pol?tica que lo haga en otro foro. Gracias por esta

The nuestrosranchos.org group is dedicated to the study of genealogy of
the states of Jalisco, Zacatecas and Aguascalientes. This group will not
tolerate ongoing discussions related to other topics whether they be of
politics, race or other concerns. Having said that sometimes there is an
absolute need to bring some of these topics into discussion. For example
if the government made decisions that directly affected how and where we
could find genealogical records I'd say it is on topic as long as
"opinion" doesn't creep into the discussion. . ."Just the facts,
please"! There are other examples, I'm sure. I would encourage everyone
in the group who believes that the discussion has crossed from "Just the
facts" to "opinion" to please please send me a private email
(joseph@nuestrosranchos.org). This is your group and I am from this day
forward making everyone accountable to monitor that the discussion stays
on topic and respectful.

Genealogical records from Nueva Galicia (Mexico), 1537-1777.

Hello,

Has anyone seen this book? I was wondering if it was worth taking a drive up to Berkley - it appears to be the only library that has it. Sounds interesting but I've been burned so many times with books that I wanted to see if I could get some input first.
Genealogical records from Nueva Galicia (Mexico), 1537-1777.

Card catalogue description: Collection of genealogical documents (originals and certified copies) concerning interrelated families of Nueva Galicia-notably the Flores, de la Torre, Alvarado,Contreras, Angulo, Figueroa, Padilla, Bañuelos, and Oñate families. Composed principally of files on genealogical inquiries conducted by the Audiencia of Guadalajara or lesser local tribunals at the request of petitioners José and Nicolás Flores de la Torre, Archdean Diego Flores de Latorre, Presbyter Luis Gómez de Alvarado, and others, who claimed kinship with such noted conquistadors as Pedro de Alvarado, Hernán Flores, Diego Pérez de la Torre (successor of Nuño de Guzmán), andFrancisco de Figueroa. With two appended genealogical reports, one prepared by the Precentor of the Guadalajara Cathedral on certain Juchipila families and the other on the Flores, de la Torre, and González families, compiled by the Inquisition and a university official, Dr. Vicente Ignacio Peña Brizuela, at the request of Vicente Flores de la Torre y González. Contains petitions, questionnaires, testimony, texts of royal decrees, viceregal or judicial orders, powers of attorney, certifications, related material, and two colored coats of arms.

Thanks,

updates

I've updated my genealogy FILES and GEDCOM Tree (3,200 individuals) for JOSEPH de LEON.

Locations of Research:
Colotlan, Huejucar, & Totatiche area in Jalisco and Jerez & Tepetongo area in Zacatecas, Mexico

Surnames Researching:
Banuelos, Borrego, Campos, Carrillo, Carlos, Covarrubias, Enriquez, de Escobedo, Flores, Gonzalez, de Leon, Mayorga, Ortiz, Quesada, del Real, Sandoval, de Sillas, Valenzuela, Villaneda, and others.

Jose Carlos de Leon

Introduction-Covarrubias, Orozco, Renteria.

Hello everyone, my name is Enrique and I started my research about 6 months ago. I am researching Covarrubias and Orozco from Tlaltenango as well as Renteria in Zacatecas. So far in the Covarrubias’ search I have up to the 9th generation thanks to the book of “Familias antiguas of Tlaltenango” by Arturo Ramos, I found that the descendents of Jacinto de Talamantes e Isabel de Covarrubias are part directly of the genealogical tree of my mother in law. I have read some of the blogs in the “Nuestros Ranchos” and I found that there is still a confusion of whether Isabel de Covarrubias is the daughter of Maria de Covarrubias and Francisco Escobedo, or the daughter of Francisco Covarrubias. On this point I would like to research more about Isabel de Covarrubias but I don’t know what could be the next step, I know that somebody mentioned that they have a copy of the matrimonial data on Jacinto Talamantes and Isabel de Covarrubias that is available in the "Sagrada Mitra de Guadalajara” but unfortunately I live in Canada and it is very difficult to get documents like this, also I know that there is a will of Francisco Escobedo where mentioned Isabel de Rodas which could be Isabel de Covarrubias. I hope somebody could provide me with a copy of these documents and guide me towards the next step in the research for this line.

In regards of the Orozco Family I have Donaciano Orozco who born in Teocaltiche on 05/Sep/1835 and married to Petra Briseño 20/Sep/1854, Donaciano’s parents are Felipe Orozco and Aleja Dena from which I am still reseaching for the marriage information and his grandparents were Mariano Orozco and Petra Bergara for which I still don’t get any information yet.

On the other hand in the search of the Renteria’s family, it just turn me into a new area, originally I have the information of the marriage of Cirilo Renteria married to Maria Hernandez 10/05/1886, both were residents of El Salvador in Monte Escobedo but I found that Cirilo Renteria was born in Vetagrande in around the year of 1856 but unfourtunately the records for those years don’t exist and it will be tought to find the generations prior, but if somebody is researching this area probably could guide to where to go.

I appreciate the help of everybody and I am really happy that I have access to this website which is the best genealogical website in Mexico, I really like it and thanks to everybody in advance.

Regards

Enrique Luviano

Almaguer (Lester Alvarado, Paul Gomez)

Lester and Paul,

Thank you both for the information on the town of Corral de Almaguer. I had
not heard of it before. At this point my research on my Almaguer line has
not progressed very far. And I know nothing about the origin of the name.
I need to do a lot more research. Thanks to both of you for the ideas.

You are absolutely right ! The town that you mention CORAL DE ALMAGUER is
where all the Almaguers come from . There is a fellow in Villa de Santiago ,
Nuevo Leon that visited the town and spoke to the mayor . He was informed
that the town holds on to the name but there are no Almaguers there for a
very long time .

There are several explanations on the name , some say that it has arab
origens Al-magher . Its possible being that almost all the surnames with the
prefix AL do have middle east orignes but not all of them .

Take care,

Beverly,

I found your e-mail of great interest. My wife is a Romero. I have traced
her family line's progenitor, Bartholomew Romero, to a small town Corral de
Almaguer, 60 miles east of Toledo, Spain, . Is there a connection between
this town and your great grandmother? As we know, oftentimes an individual"s
surname name was identified with his "home town".

I look forward to your response.

Hola Welester!
My name is Amelia Macias. I just joint the NR a few days ago and have very little data to go on in the search for my father's side of the family. My half mom's side is done thanks to my sister (LDS). I'm looking for the Macias and Alavarado families of Jalpa and Aguascalientes. Here is my connection to the Alvarado-Tostado surnames.

My father, Jose Jesus Tostado Macias' parents were Jose Macias and Calletana Alvarado Tostado. I'm having trouble obtaining info from my father, medical reasons. My grandfather Jose was born 1867 in Jalpa and died in 1951 in Jalpa. My grandmother Calletana died in 1960 in Jalpa. My father's other siblings were as follows:

Antonio Macias, married (Socorro) born 1917 died 21 Nov 2005 in Aguascalientes which still lives there.
Angel Macias, no info
Socorro Macias, died in Jalpa as at nine months
Socorro Macias, died in Jallpa at age 32
Jose Jesus Macias, b. 1923 in Jalpa
Jovita Macias, b. abt 1930 died in Jalpa as a baby
Jovita Macias born 10 April 1931

Do you have any relatives from Jalpa? Do any of these names sound familiar to you?

Thanks! Amelia Macias

Petronila de Moctezuma and Martin Navarro

I have recently had the opportunity to look at a copy of Genealogia de Nochistlan. In the chapter for Martin Navarro and Petronila de Moctezuma (Capitulo 58) is an extract of the first document that I have become aware of that actually names this couple. For those that are interested in this family, and do not have access to a copy of this book, the extract is as follows.

This is the matrimonial investigation for Bartolome Rodrigues Baxo, whose first and second wives descend from Martin and Petronila, thus he was requesting a dispensation for 4th degree afinity (they are great-great-granddaughters of Martin and Petronila:

27 September 1703, Nochistlán

I looked in the 1703 volume of matrimonial investigations of Nochistlan, but did not find this document. It may be in the diocesan records of Guadalajara.

Xptóbal

Xptóval, Xptóbal. I know it is the abbreviation for Cristóbal, Cristóval, Christóval, Christóbal ... Chrisptóval?? or english Christopher. I understand the X was for the Cruz or Cross (greek Cristos) - but does anyone know how the "p" got in there? The metamorphosis of Spanish names to me is interesting. Like Bethlehem changing to Bethelehem, Bethelem, and other variations and finally ending up Belén. Or José being spelled Joseph in the 1700's - was it nevertheless still pronounced José, the ph being silent? Or Yosep from Hebrew influence? I also understand that certain imported words like Bethlehem are linguistically unacceptable combinations of sounds to any Spanish-speaking person - so it _has_ to change, just as Tlaltenango is unacceptable to an English-speaking person - we _never_ start a word with TL ... Even my own name Stuart is unacceptable to many persons from India or Latin America because they insist on saying Estuart. I guess my interest in this is because when I look at old records I am obsessed with knowing how to pronounce the names as they were originally spoken - and I can't figure out how to pronounce them.

Searching for surnames

I think this question may be for Arturo or Joseph. Is there a way to search the surnames other members are investigating, if they are not included in the Gedcom resource? (Other than looking up members with that surname?) For example, how can I check which other members are also investigating a particular surname or, better yet, which members are searching for a particular surname in a particular state? This may be obvious, I just haven't learned how to do it. Thanks

Busco a mis antepasados de Santa Cruz/VistaHermosa y Tamazula, Jalisco

I had been away from this forum for some time. I took a wrong turn somewhere in my research and felt very dissapointed. I was following the wrong ancestors. I learned that I cannot make assumptions based on information found online and that I needed to see copies of the actual documents.

My great grandmother was Prudencia Garcia Contreras (1895-1984)daughter of Josefa Contreras y Zenon Garcia. My grandfather was Rodolfo Gama (a. 1905), son of J. Cruz Gama and Rosario Cruz.

If anyone is doing research in Santa Cruz municipio de Tamazula de Gordiano, Jalisco, let me know. I followed the wrong Gama family and have that information.

--------------

Me aleje de este foro por algun tiempo. Me equivoque en alguna parte de mi investigacion y sufri una gran desilusion. Me puse a seguir a una linea equivocada. Me sirvio para aprender a no dar por hecho la informacion del internet sino hasta tener copias de los documentos.

Mi bisabuela era Prudencia Garcia Contreras (a. 1895-1984) hija de Josefa Contreras y Zenon Garcia. Mi abuelo fue Rodolfo Gama (a. 1905), hijo de J. Cruz Gama y de Rosario Cruz.

Si alguien esta haciendo investigaciones de Santa Cruz municipio de Tamazula de Gordiano, Jalisco, dejenme saber. Segui la line de familia equivocada y tengo esa informacion
