Does anybody in this group knows what Saints' names were celebrated or listed in the religious calendar for February 23?
I remeber seeing a message on the Religious Calendar, in this forum, a few months ago.
Cuales Santos se celebran,de acuerdo con el calendario religioso, el dia 23 de Febrero?
Gracias por su ayuda.

Mal de Ojo:
I remember seeing a little boy in Mexico, wearing an object around his neck. It had a thick oval shape and it was dark brown in color, I believe it was called "ojo de venado" a deer's eye. To me it looked more like some kind of seed about an inch in diameter and about 1/4 inch thick. According to the mother, it was being worn for protection against "mal de ojo" The "ojo de venado" could be purchased (I don't know if they can still be found) where herbs were sold, or from "yerberos" people who sell herbs in the street or local mercado. I personally don't believe in witchcraft, but evidently some people still do.

Hi everyone. I am a new member and wanted to introduce myself. My name is Claudia Reynoso.
To be brief, as brief as I can be, here are bullet items:
-my family hails from MOYAHUA, ZACATECAS (ranchos my grandfather speaks of: El Pitayo, Buenavista, Barras Amarillas, Santa Cruz, and El Aguado)
-i am bi-lingual, so you can communicate with me in English or Spanish
-most of my family now resides in the USA, with distant reltives scattered throughout Zac., Jal., and Baja Cal.
-the oldest living REYNOSO I know if my great-aunt, AURELIA REYNOSO (her maiden name). she is 84 years old
I am hoping to connect with members from Moyahua and surrounding areas. After reading some posts here I see that I am related to a couple of Reynoso members here! Below is my immediate line:
1. Maternal GRANDFATHER:
Jose Maria Reynoso b. 1926 - Moyahua, Zac.
2. Serapio Reynoso b. 1900 & Martina Gonzalez b. @1900 - Moyahua, Zac.
3. Marcelino Reynoso b. @1868 & Hilaria Haro b.@1873 - Moyahua, Zac.
4. Aniceto Reynoso b.1826 & Nemesia Rodrigues b. 1824
5. Toribio Reynoso b. @1787 & Norberta Romero b. @1795
6. Silberio Reynoso b. @1764 & Nasaria Carrillo b. @1767
I have about 200 names in my database, and I am looking forward to finding more. I'm also always happy to share information with everyone and I will soon post some interesting files for everyone to peruse.
Hasta pronto,
I am searching for any members of the Martinez/Martin and Pena family who lived in Encarncaion de Diaz, Jalisco. Other members of these two ancestors include Sanchez, Alonzo, Paredes, Macias, Espinosa, Ybarra, Medina, Rodriguez, and Salas. Almost, all were born, baptized, and married in Encarnacion de Diaz.
I am looking for family members of Pedro Covarrubias and Tomasa Hernandez from Cartajena Jalisco His son Evaristo Covarrubias and any other brothers or sisters to this family

>From what I can recall studying African History in Latin America, it is
widely believed that most of the Africans brought into Central and South
America were initially from Yoruba, which was then a nation east of what is now
known as Benin, however it is difficult to tell, as tribal people were
often separated, as the slave holders didn't want them to be able to
communicate with each other in their native tongue. I seem to recall an isolated
community in Guerrero was discovered where linguists were able to trace their
language to Yoruba. Because of these practices, it is difficult for many
African Americans to trace their ancestry to a specific tribe in Africa. I
do know however that in the latter years, because of a loop hole in Spanish
law that outlawed slavery in 1829, most slaves who arrived into Latin
countries no longer came from the west coast, they came from Angola.
I am one of the few people that has indeed found proof that I have
Tlaxcaltecan roots. I found birth certificates indicating that the name Bermea
(known then as Bermeo) and Flores were brought into Nadadores, Coahuila to
pacify existing nomadic tribes, later moving to a small settlement where they
were among the first settlers. This was BIG...as I know such records are
virtually impossible to find. I have read that Tlaxcalans were initially
brought into Zacatecas to keep the continued insurgents of the natives
(Caxcan) down. However, I have also read that other indigenous people were
brought in various parts of Zacatecas to help with mining, including those from
Michoacan, and other slaves including "chinos" who were from the
Philippines. (Eric...you might find this interesting with your discovery of your DNA

(http://www.history.ucsb.edu/courses/tempdownload.php?attach_id=2900) .
For me, history has been relayed by those in power. So it is natural that
the records uncovered would have been written and kept by the Spanish. I am
not surprised, but am fascinated to know about my Spanish ancestors,
however It is much more interesting to discover roots of those whose
voices/history were oppressed. What I would give to listen to the perspectives of
women from long ago.
Also, as relates to inter-marriages (there are quite a few of them in my
family, and not so long ago), I had been told that it was mostly to ensure
that one knew the families as "good people". It seems that they believed
that if the mom was a "floosy", so will the be the female offspring....or if
the dad was a "drunk", so will be the male offspring. At least that is what
I was told...(wink).

Does anyone know when the 1930 Census for Ojuelos De Jalisco is going to be availabe?
Hello members. I am fairly new to this. I would like some help, if any of you all have any info on baptism for Jose Victoriano Camacho. He was married to Maria Josefa Policarpia Lopes on 2/29/1808 at the age of 20yrs old in San Matias Pinos, Zacatecas. He was a "hijo natural". I am unable to find a baptism for him and was wondering if it was possible that he was not baptized at a young age and waited until he was older before he got married. He is the son of Juana Gertrudis Camacho who in turn is daughter of Juan Joseph Camacho and Maria Olaya Hernandez Navarro. This family lived in what was then the eastern edge of Zacatecas known as La Hacienda Vieja and today is Ahualulco, SLP. It has been quite difficult searching for this info. I was hoping to find the name of his father on the baptism record.
Gracias,
Antonio Camacho
All this talk about Royal blood and we Altenos having a preference of our cousins is interesting. This past Sunday night, I was watching a story on Josef Mengele's possible connection to multiple births of twins in a small town in Brazil. This was on the National Geographic channel:
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2009/11/091125-nazi-twins-brazi…
I had to chuckle when the story came to an end because the multiple twin births had to do more with having a common German ancestor, and twins running in families. Sounds like Los Altos, huh?

Once upon a time, after bumping into some evidence that at least several of
our ancestors might have been a royal (Alonso de Estrada, illigetimate son
of King Ferdinand), I asked my now deceased aunt why she had never said
anything about this connection. Her response was "That's who THEY were,
that's not who WE are."
She was a bitter woman, but a wise one. It is so true, while her siblings
might have looked "castellano", she, herself, looked like the Indigenous
blood inherited from the Tlacaltecas that were brought in from the south to
settle the northern territories. For her, it was impossible to embrace
years of subjugation based on her color, despite the apparent direct link to
Alonso de Estrada.
Hola a todos. Me encuentro buscando personas con el apellido Martinez en el estado de Zacatecas. Mis ancestros vivieron en un pueblo llamado Tepetongo y despues mi bisabuelo se fue a otro pueblo llamado Tacoaleche en el mismo estado.
A quien este interesado puedo mandarle mi arbol genealogico, que aunque no es muy grande, cubre siete generaciones y ademas tengo archivados varios documentos que adquiri mediente mi busqueda.
Por ultimo, tambien tengo mi ADN paterno para poder compararlo con gente interesada a este apellido.
Muchas Gracias.
Hi evreyone, I'm looking for people with Martinez ancestry in the Mexican state of Zacatecas in or around the town of Tepetongo. I'm interested in obtaining more information on my direct paternal ancestry.If you are interested in sharing some information, I can always send you my small (only seven generations) genealogical chart.
Also, I have my YDNA (Haplogruop R with 91 certified SRT markers)for the same name.
Thanks.

Hello,
It's there someone who has the film M600825 from Fresnillo?
I need to get a look up on the marriage of Juan de la Rosa + Narcisa Acosta. Marriage date 28/10/1872.
Another question,
Her daughter Ines de la Rosa was born in Fresnillo around 1885, is there a parish record i can look for? so far I have't found anything for Fresnillo...did they go somewhere near to get their childs baptised?
Thank you
Monica
I would also like to know how to get a copy of this book.

Hi Jospeh,
My Marquez de los Olivos are also from Saus de los Marquez. They also eventually shortened the name to just Marquez. I remember a while back we tried to link your Marquez family to my Marquez family but had no luck. I imagine if you are able to go back a generation or two we will have the link.
Good Luck on you Search,

I will probably suggest this a thousand times to "the group", make sure to document where you get your information from. Here is an example:
Repository, Record type, Individual, Date, Film No., Item No., Volume No., Page No., Record No. (all this information might not be available e.g. missing page number, missing volume number, etc.)
I am the first to admit I have not always done this and occasionally, even now I forget to do it. One thing that I have learned is that it wastes a lot of time and money not to do it.
If this does not work for you, then find something that does, it will make your research more credible and allow others to locate the records easily. Sorry I sound like a nag and will probably alienate some good people but it will help all of us to become better researchers if we source our documents and save us time.
If anyone has some good suggestions on documentation or good stories even, I would love to hear about them. Anything that improves the way I do things is much appreciated. Thank you for your time, and letting this old guy rant a little; I hope it helps.

I am looking for Deciderio Tinajero from San Felipe Guanajuato Mexico .....When I enter his hame....he does come up but his son (Jose Marciano Tianjero Alonso) also comes up and it gives me the son's info not Deciderio. I need Deciderio's info like his parents name. How can I pull that on LDS on
I'm lookin under Mexico Baptisms 1700-1900.
I've been using Reunion for years and find it very easy to use.
Entries are easy and lookups are easy. It's much better than Family
Tree Maker was before they stopped supporting Macintosh. I've
upgraded twice and had no problems with information transferring to
the new versions. I haven't used the other Mac program you mentioned
so I cannot comment on it.
As with everything computer related, there is a learning curve. I
found Reunion's learning curve intuitive and quick. I'm 67 and have
little patience with complicated programs and dump them rather than
waste my time trying to learn them. I found Reunion within my scope
of ability and am happy with it.
Good luck with whichever program you decide to go with. You'll
probably choose the one you learn the fastest. I would.

Hello Daniel,
The instructions on the form state that you should allow 4 to 6 weeks for delivery. (I got mine in less than a month.) Also you need to limit your request to 8 items or 3 book items, and requests should be made at least 2 weeks apart. Requests are processed in the order they are received. There are more instructions on the form that you need to read, such as copyright restrictions. Also, you can get the forms for free at any FHC.
Have a nice day. :-) -Esther
Hi Esther,
I am hoping to start ordering some records through this service. How long does
it take?
Im still continuing my genealogy and have these dates where I am able to extend
my
tree but i am not ready to stasrt certain areas. I thought I can at least keep
extending
through this service I have around 17 marriages I am able to order and at least
go one more
generation thanks to IGI. But its pointless to order the whole film since Im
not going to
look through the whole thing yet. Im still researching Calvillo, Tlazazalca and
Zamora.
Hoping to start soon on Aguascalientes and Pinos, Zac. I have many states:
Chihuahua, Jalisco, Zac, Aguas, Guanajuato, San Luis Potosi, Michoacan,
Durango,
COlima, DF, Queretaro, Nuevo Leon. Im busy. Plus Portugal and Spain.
Thanks, Daniel

Eduardo,
I found a record (in familysearch) for Miguel Gregorio Antonio Ignacio Hidalgo y Costilla,
ch. 8 May 1753, Bajito District, Nr Guanajuato, Mexico and his death 17 July 1812, Guadalajara.
Caso con Manuela Ramos Pichardo and his parents were Cristobal Hidalgo y Vendaval y Ana
Maria Gallaga Mandarte, married 15 Aug. 1750. Batch #8824461, Serial # 05. His parents
were from Distrito Federal.
Is this what you already have?
--Esther Jordan Lopez
Does anyone have a copy of the actual christening record for Miguel Gregorio
Antonio Ignacio Hidalgo y Costilla? I have been searching for his christening
record but have come up empty handed. I am aware of the transcript of about
1829 that is found online but I would like to look at the copy of the original,
or if possible eventually the original. Does anyone have a copy or know where I
can find one? Unfortunately the Genealogical Society of Utah did not film the
dates of his christening.

Dear Sylvia--
I would be glad to help as soon as I return from a business trip to San Jose.
I have not worked on the GALLAGA line in awhile so there are probably new things to learn for me as well. My husband is a second cousin to Padre Miguel Hidalgo, about 6 or 7 generations back. The following will show different family members moving around quite a bit and the reason for my husband's family connection is probably because of his La Barca, Jalisco ancestors.
Juan de San Pedro GALLAGA Mandarte born 4 Feb 1703 in La Barca, Jalisco
m.
Joaquina de VILLASENOR y Lomelin Cortes Enriques de Silva born in
Santa Maria, Huanequero, Michoacan
their daughter--
Ana Maria GALLAGA Mandarte b. in 1731 in Michoacan
m. 17 Aug 1750 in Penjamo, Guanajuato to
Cristobal HIDALGO y Costilla
their second child, a son,--
Miguel Gregorio Antonio HIDALGO y Costilla
b. 8 May 1753 in San Diego del Union, Correlejo, Guanajuato
Sincerely,
Patricia Burton
