The Time of Birth on Baptismal Certificates forSan Mig...

Hi Paul,
It so happens that keeping a woman inside her home for 40 days is not
unique to the Mexican culture. Read the following article - it gives quite a
bit of information:

(http://www.nursingcenter.com/prodev/ce_article.asp?tid=408218)

What ever happened to the missing 1719-1733baptismal records from Aguascalientes?

Bill,

I just wanted to echo the thanks and kudos that have already been
posted here. You are the most accomplished Genealogist ever! Thanks
for sharing this important bit of information. You always stick to
the facts and never post useless opinions. That's the mark of a true
Genealogist.

Thanks For A Great 2009/Feliz Navidad

We have a lot to be thankful for. The group has been growing
tremendously via Arturo's Website Wizardry. I think the membership was
just at 100 when he took the website to where it is now and i think we
currently have about 450 members (not all active but still at times
there can be a significant amount of discussion).

Tenemos mucho para ser agradecidos. El grupo ha estado creciendo
enormemente gracias a Arturo y su trabajo con el Website. Pienso la
calidad de miembro era apenas en 100 cuando él asumió el control y
pienso que tenemos actualmente cerca de 450 miembros (no todos activos
pero todavía ocasionalmente allí puede ser una cantidad significativa de
discusión).

A couple of things:

Unas par de cosas:

1) You all know how I used to get so happy when people made a
connection. Well with so many people making connections I didn't want to
use too much bandwidth to convey my joy. I am still doing backward
internal somersaults. Our ancestors would be so happy to know that after
losing each other for hundreds of (100, 200, or even 300) years some of
the family branches have become reunited via our genealogy research. Our
families have a lot to be thankful for even if they don't exactly
understand the significance of reunifying via our genealogical labor of
love. Thank you for efforts you all have been a blessing to me.

1) Ustedes todos saben conseguía tan feliz cuando la gente hizo una
conexión. Bien con tan mucha gente que hace conexiones no quice utilizar
demasiada anchura de banda para transportar mi alegría. Todavía estoy
haciendo volteretas internas posteriores. Nuestros antepasados se
placerían tan saber que después de perderse para los centenares (100,
200, o aún 300) de años algunas de las ramas de la familia se han
juntado vía nuestra investigación de la genealogía. Nuestras familias
tienen mucho ser agradecidas para incluso si ellas no entienden
exactamente la significación de reunificar vía nuestro trabajo del amor
genealógico. Gracias por esfuerzos usted que toda ha sido una bendición
a mí.

2) I want to thank you all for making 2009 a peaceful year online. There
have been a couple of discussion threads that came close to getting out
of hand but you all still maintained a professional and courteous manner
of communication. Maybe it was a concern that I would rather shut down
the group than let it continue in open argumentative discussion (I've
always considered that private email is the best place for that) but I
would rather believe that you are all trying really hard to keep things
peaceful and without harsh communications. I'm expecting 2010 to add
more members and as we grow larger we'll all have to pay special
attention to our communications. I would like to ask ALL of you to help
me monitor the discussion. If anyone notices any of the discussion
threads take a direction that "MIGHT" get nasty I would like for you to
send me a simple email asking me to carefully monitor the discussion
that has this subject line (and then supply the subject line).

2) Quiero agradecerle todos por hacer 2009 un año pacífico en línea. Ha
habido unos discussiones que ya mero salierion de control pero ustedes
todos todavía mantuvieron una manera profesional y cortesana de la
comunicación. Quizas fue precocupacion que mejor cerraria el grupo
desde dejarlo continúa en la discusión controvertida abierta (pienso que
el email privado es el mejor lugar para eso) pero mas mejor creería algo
que ustedes estedes trabajan fuerte a mantener cosas pacíficas y sin
comunicaciones ásperas. Espero que 2010 agregue a más miembros y como
crecemos más grande todos tienen que prestar la especial atención a
nuestras comunicaciones. Quisiera pedirles para ayudarme a supervisar la
discusión. Si cualquier persona nota que la discusión se va a una
dirección que consiga repugnante yo quisiera que usted me envíe un email
simple que me pregunta que supervise cuidadosamente la discusión que
tiene esta línea sujeta (y entonces suministrar la línea sujeta).

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

some in the group might be into scrapbooking and the following might be
similar to that. Have a look and see if something is of interest to you.

Es possible que algunos tienen interes en scrapbooking y lo que sigue
pudo ser similar a ése. Tenga una mirada y vea si algo está de interés a
usted.

Gonzalez in Cañadas De Obregon, Jalostotitlán, Mexticacán or Vicinity

Hola! I trying to find out all about my 4X GreatGrandfather Jesus Gonzalez (birth abt. 1780) on my fathers side. There is no information on who his wife was or if he got married at all. All I know is that he had at least one son. I found the actual Marriage Certificate that states "El primer hijo Natural" his son named Trinidad Gonzalez (birth abt. 1805, Cañadas) who married to Maria Eusebia de Alba (birth abt. 1810, Mexticacán) per Batch No. M603232, Dates 1827-1837, Source Film 0279302. She was "La Segunda Hija Lejitima" of parents Jose Ygnacio De Alba (abt. 1791) and Maria Dolores Mexia (abt, 1797). Any information is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Adavance, Jaime Gonzalez

Guadalupe, Zacatecas

I was wondering if somebody could shed some light on the several Guadalupe's
in the state of Zacatecas? In our family records, my great-great
grandfather's family comes from Guadalupe, Zacatecas. However, I have only
found vital records in familysearch.org from the parish of Nuestra Senora de
Guadalupe, in the city (or municipality?) of Zacatecas, ZAC. I think there
is also a town (suburb?) of Zacatecas called Guadalupe, and maybe one in
Villanueva as well?

So if my ancestors said they were from Guadalupe, Zacatecas, is that
actually the city of Zacatecas? Was the town of Guadalupe centered around
the parish of Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe maybe?

On another note, I think my great-great grandfather's wife was originally
from Tepetongo, ZAC. Is it likely my great-great grandfather was also from
Tepetongo? I can't find his birth records in Guadalupe or Zacatecas. In
general, was there a lot of movement between Tepetongo/Jerez and
Zacatecas/Guadalupe/Villanueva in the mid 1800s?

Joseph Puentes and I had dinner tonight with and he presented me with a

I am extremely moved and grateful at members' generosity and
throughtfulness. I discussed with Joseph that I could not accept the money, but that I
would be willing to take the money and use it as the seed money to
incorporate Nuestros Ranchos as a nonprofit so as to take it to the next level.

I have been on the Boards of a number of nonprofits and understand the
work involved, but I think this group has been blessed with many volunteers
and as long as we continue to have such involvement and keep our goals
modest, we will inevitably succeed.

Please let me know if you would like to take part in this process. I am
thinking it would be best to incorporate in Texas or California where we
have the largest membership as having a resident in the state of incorporation
is a requirement.

agradecimiento por mi trabajo en el sitio, y muchas de las cartas incluían
aportaciones dinerarias. Estoy muy conmovido y agradecido a los miembros por

capital inicial para incorporar Nuestros Ranchos como una organización sin
fines de lucro a fin de llevar a la orgnización al próximo nivel.

He sido parte de las mesas directivas de un número de organizaciones sin
fines de lucro y entiendo el trabajo que supone mi propuesta, pero creo que
este grupo ha sido bendecido con muchos voluntarios y mientras sigamos
teniendo esa participación y mantengamos nuestros objetivos modestos,
inevitablemente tendremos éxito.

Por favor, hágamelo saber si le gustaría tomar parte en este proceso.
Pienso que lo mejor sería incorporar en Texas o California, donde tenemos los
números más grandes de miembros ya que un requisito es tener un agente
residente en el estado de incorporación.

PRESENTACION / INTRODUCTION

Hola a todos, soy Alessandro y soy nuevo en el grupo. Deseo hacerme presente para estar en contacto con toda aquella persona que pueda estar interesada o relacionada con mis lineas genealogicas. Yo he investigado mi genealogía por varios años y he logrado buenos avances, los cuales estaría contento de compartir con ustedes. Como la mayoria debe saber, hay ocaciones que las lineas de investigacion soy muy prodigas (gracias a los magnificos archivos y registros) y otras son muy pobres y se atoran con facilidad. Este es el caso de mi apellido paterno para el cual pido ayuda a aquellos mas versados. Se trata del apellido VITELA, mu abuelo fue Concepcion VITELA y nacio en 1900 en El Batan, Zapopan, Jalisco, fue hijo de Francisco VITELA nacido en 1866 - 1868 en JALPA, ZAC. y Juana VILLARREAL, y nieto de Gorgonio/Aurelio VITELA y Fermina/Emigdia LOPEZ de Zacateas tambien.

Entre lo que he investigado se que Zacatecas es uno de los estados mas golpeados y dañados sus archivos por los cristeros, muchos de ellos acabaron en el fuego y perdiendose la información. Lamentablemente es con lo que me he topado al investigar y no he podido avanzar en esta linea. Los microfilmes que pude ver incluso tienen paginas quemadas que se rescataron y llegan precisamente como al año 1860. Pido su ayuda para poder buscar de otra manera o en otro lado donde pueda conseguir mas datos. Sabe alguien o tiene infomacion sobre los VITELA de Jalpa o Miguel Auza (Mezquital del Oro) Zacatecas?

En Miguel Auza encontre una gran cantidad de VITELA pero lamentablemente no he podido hacer ninguna coneccion con los mios por los nombres, no estoy seguro que sean de la misma famili (aunque yo creo que si, mi intuicion me lo dice), Miguel Auza parece ser una "fuente" de partida de esta familia que se dice es de origen italiana.

Ojala alguien pueda orientarme o contribuir a mi investigación.

Gracias de antemano.

P.D. I SPEACK ENGLISH TOO, SO FEEL FREE TO REPLAY IN THAT LENGUAGE.

Paul,
I did. However, I am visiting my son in Northern California so I don't
have much information with me (I forgot to bring it, :-) but I don't
have information going that far back. Leticia helped with these names
and I only have to mid 1850's. I probably can connect but it may not be
for some time. Do you have anything for 1800's? Is Rancho Cucamonga
toward L.A.? I lived in Northern California for a while, so I don't
remember where Rancho Cucamonga is.

Anyway, the names you mentioned sure sound familiar and hope when I get
home I can check things out further. I'm in San Diego County.

Films Section Upgraded - Mejoramiento de Seccion de Rollos

ESPANOL SIGUE ABAJO

Thanks to the volunteer efforts of Jose Luis Felix, we have upgraded the Films section so that borrowers names no longer simply show up as text, but rather as hyperlinks to the relevant Nuestros Ranchos user profiles... that way you can more easily find out who has the film and contact them.

There are a number of stray films for which Jose Luis was unable to identify the user because the name was entered in an incomplete manner. If you put your name as a borrower for any of the following films, please go back to the relevant film and use the new function to check ("I have this film on permanent loan") so that you will show up as a borrower for the film.

ESPANOL

Gracias a los esfuerzos voluntarios de José Luis Félix, hemos actualizado la sección de Rollos de Microfilmacion para que los nombres de los prestatarios ya no sólo se muestran como texto, sino más bien como enlaces a los correspondientes perfiles de usuario Nuestros Ranchos ... De esa manera usted puede encontrar más fácilmente quién tiene el rollo en cuestion y ponerse en contacto con ellos.

Hay una serie de rollos para los cuales José Luis no pudo identificar al usuario porque el nombre se inscribió en forma incompleta. Si usted puso su nombre como un prestatario para cualquiera de los siguientes rollos, favor de regresar al rollo pertinente y utilizar la nueva función de verificación ("Tengo esta película en préstamo permanente") de manera que se mostrará como un prestatario de de la película.

Originals or Not

Having spent considerable time with the Pilot.FamilySearch images of
christening records of Rincón de Romos and San José de Gracia,
Aguascalientes, I have reached a few conclusions I hadn't really
expected before.

There are a lot of inconsistencies in the records - mistakes or errors
- which I had first believed were mostly due to incomplete or
inaccurate information from the parties involved: in other words, the
informants were not well informed. But I've ben able to correlate multiple references to the same individuals in numerous families, and the kinds of
mistakes suggest something else: namely, that the mistakes (and there are
many of them) are copying errors.

For example, many of the mistakes are names that look very similar but
do not necessarily sound similar: like Castorena for Contreras, Chavez
for Chaires, Filomena for Florencia, Montoya for Mendoza, and many
more. Even though the handwriting is clear, it must have been copied
from handwriting that was not. I have even seen similar mistakes
within the same record, where for example the name in the margin looks
similar to but is not the same as the name in the text.

What further supports the conclusion that many errors are copying
errors is the organization of Rincón and San José baptismal records.
In any given month, the records for that month consistently begin with
records "En la parroquia de San José de Gracia ... bautizé ... en la
Yglesia de Rincón de Romos". These begin with the first of the month
and continue through the end of the month. Then, without any break,
but usually an inserted heading, the register goes back again to the
first of the month and lists records "En la parroquia de San José de
Gracia ... en la Yglesia de este lugar", that is, the chapel in San
José. These also continue to the end of the month, and then the
records for Rincón begin again for the following month. This format
spans many decades.

The only way these records could occur in this order is if they were
copied from some other books or papers. That would also explain the
types of errors that are present - the scribe couldn't read the
other's (or his own) handwriting. At times I am inclined to believe
that the real originals from which these were copied must have been
quite a mess. That the original registers might be copied
and the copies become the only known "originals" is of course
no surprize, and was probably quite commonplace. Temporary records
were made and then "permanentized" into another register, or old books
became worn and tattered and were copyied afresh - for which we can be
thankful. Who knows when the records were copied - it may have been
months or more than a hundred years after the real originals were
made.

I have heard that priests sometimes carried the books with them as
they journied to various localities within their jurisdiction, and
recorded the events directly into the registers. You can imagine how
such volumes might quickly become worn and damaged. I expect too, that
some head priest might combine the records made by several assistants,
creating the official registry.

Anyway, the bottom line is that it appears that many of the bautismos
from Rincón de Romos and San José de Gracia were copies, which
explains the types of errors often present in them. Knowing this
affects the way I interpret the records. The marriage records,
however, (some of them) seem to be more consistant, and perhaps were
more original. In my mind they carry more weight or credibility than
the baptismal records, particularly as to parents's names, although
one would normally expect the reverse to be true.

Studying these records has been a revelation. I'm recognizing more and
more handwriting idiosyncrasies. The other day, my wife and I were
both puzzling over a name in 1888 that looked like Erenpas when all of
a sudden I realized it was Campos. I would never have thought of
Campos had I not known it was a common name in the area, and also the
peculiar way this particular scribe sometimes made his C's. Once I saw
the name as Campos, I could not see it as anything else. I'm sure
everyone who studies these records has had similar experiences. If
only someone would tell those people to be more consistant with their
a's and o's, so I could tell hijas from hijos ... or better yet - why
didn't they just use a typewriter!

On another topic, I am a little puzzled by the term "auciliar". Rincón
de Romos was originally an auciliar de San José de Gracia. But San
José de Gracia is also sometimes written as "la yglesia auciliar de la
parroquia de San José de Gracia" at a time when San José de Gracia was
really a parish in its own right and not an auxiliar of anything,
except perhaps of the diocesis, if you can think of it that way. I'm
wondering if the term auciliar was used rather loosely, and as such
has no particular significance.

Genaro Codina - composer

I am trying to document my link to Genaro Codina, composer of Marcha Zacatecas. He was born in the city of Zacatecas in 1852 to Santiago Codina and Maria Dolores Fernandez. Family history has it that he was 'primo hermano' (first cousin) to my great grandfather, Mucio Codina. That would make Genaro's father and Mucio's father brothers and their father would be Jose Eufracio Codina.

Jose Eufracio married in Jerez, Zacatecas and had several children there but I found no record for Santiago Codina. FamilySearch IGI has an unsourced record for Santiago's marriage in Zacatecas, Zacatecas in 1851 but I have been unable to find the church record in the Family History Library films. My search has been hampered by missing years in the films.

If anyone has run across any of there names in your research, I would greatly appreciate your help.

State of Mind ?

Reading through the "Royal Blood" thread it is refreshing to see honesty and differing opinion handled with such respect and care...what a great bunch of people we have !

It's got me thinking though, it seems that "WE" , as individuals, truly are what we choose to be. I mean, it really is a state of mind. I have seen people catagorize themselves by nation of birth, ancestry and DNA evidence...all valid, but all a personal CHOICE.

If I choose to clasify myself by country of origin, then I am an American from the Southwestern United States. If I choose my recent ancestors, then I am an Alteno, specifically from San Jose De Bazarte, in Los Altos...if I choose to go back a couple generations, then I am Asturiano, from Sama in Asturias, Espana.

What about DNA evidence ? My group E-V13 originated in Anatolia, then spread to northern Greece and the rest of the Balkans, should I then call myself a Thracian or Dacian ? Perhaps Pelagasian or Phrygian ? It boils down to choice, we are free to choose...all are valid choices, each one is a truth unto itself. I suppose we should rejoice that we a free to choose and BE what ever we want to be, even if it is as simple as "I am my fathers son".

Places by Jalostotitlan

Sigue en espanol

My great grandparents Manuel (Gama) Estrada and Felipa Ramirez (Neris) were married in Jalostotitlan on February 09, 1822. I have been unable to find their dates of birth or birthplace.

Does anyone know of a nearby place to Jalostotitlan where I could look? Any trends as far as people traveling from specific places to Jalostotitlan back in the late 1700s or early 1800s? I know Felipa Ramirez must have been born in Jalostotitlan because her parents were married there on July 29, 1797. I just cannot find the record for her and have no information for my granpa Manuel Gama (Estrada).

Another question, some of you mentioned that around the 1820's after the war for independence, some families changed their last name. I found my great granfathers to be Manuel Estrada (his father was also names Manuel Estrada) prior to 1820s and later the last name becomes Gama. As far as I can tell as of 1820s Gama was not a maternal last name and my guess is that it goes further back. Manuel Estrada Sr. had a child named Maria Asencion who was married in 1821 as Estrada and who registered her child in 1820 as Gama. At the same time, I do not know how Estrada appeared or when. In 1835 Manl. Gama (AKA Estrada) and Felipa Neris (AKA Ramires) had a child named Refugio Gama Neris in San Miguel el Alto. Any ideas or information as to how Estrada disappeared and Gama appeared shortly after 1822? My ancestors moved from Jalostotitlan to Uncion, then to San Miguel, and finally to Tamazula.

I have always been proud of the Gama last name because it is rare in most areas. But now I cannot find that Gama link! In 1822 my ancestor was married as Manuel Estrada showing his father to have the same name as him, Manuel Estrada.

Any guidance would be appreciated it.

Mis bisabuelos fueron Manuel (Gama) Estrada and Felipa Ramirez quienes se casaron en Jalostotitlan en February 09, 1822. No he podido encontrar sus fechas o lugares de nacimiento.

Existe algun lugar certa de Jalostotitlan donde pudiera buscar en caso de que alli los hubieran registrado? Saben si hubo ciertas tendencias de viajeros que fueron de ciertas regiones a Jalostotitlan por las epocas a finales de 1700s o al empezar los 1800s? Se que Felipa Ramirez debio haber nacido en Jalostotitlan porque sus padres se casaron en July 29, 1797. Solo que no puedo encontrar el record de su nacimiento de ello y no tengo informacion acerca de mi abuelo Manuel Gama (Estrada).

Otra pregunta, algunos del grupo han comentado que alrededor de los 1820s, despues de la guerra de independencia, algunas familias cambiaron sus apellidos. Descubri que mi bisabuelo se llamaba Manuel Estrada (igual que su padre quien tambien se llamaba Manuel Estrada) antes de 1822 y despues uso el apellido de Gama. Por lo que puedo ver, Gama no es apellido materno y pienso que el apellido Gama va mas atras. Al mismo tiempo, no se como aparecio Estrada o cuando. Tiene alguna idea o informacion referente a como desaparecio el apellido Estrada y como aparecio el apellido Gama alrededor de 1822? Mis antepasados se movieron de Jalostotitlan a Uncion, despues a San Miguel, y luego a Tamazula.

Siempre habia estado orgullosa del apellido Gama porque no es muy usual en la mayoria de los lugares. Pero ahora no encuentro mi coneccion con Gama! En 1822 mi bisabuelo Manuel Estrada se caso con ese nombre y muestra que su padre era Manuel Estrada y tenia el mismo nombre.

Les agradeceria sus sugerencias.

Hello!

Hi everyone,

I am a new member of Nuestros Ranchos so I wanted to introduce myself. So
far I've loved the conversations that I've witnessed here. It's great to
have this community!

I am primarily researching the pueblos of Juchitlan and Tecolotlan, Jalisco,
as well as the rancho of San Gaspar, in the municipio de Union de Tula. My
family is from Juchitlan, but my Larios and Ramirez lines go back many times
over in San Gaspar, where there is a concentration of us. My Preciado line
goes back to Tecolotlan, where there are many of us. Other surnames I am
researching include Lomeli, Llamas, Gonzalez, Lepe, and Medina. Please see
my family file to see what I have so far:

http://www.nuestrosranchos.org/node/18215

So far this was information I was able to gather from my grandparents before
they passed and other family members and documents. I have also done some
looking on FamilySearch.org, and found some promising information, but have
yet to incorporate this into the family file I currently have up.

If anyone is interested in sharing information, please let me know! I'd love
to meet some new primos (as if I don't have enough, LOL!)
