Santos Coy

I am a descendant of the Juan Caliz also. I descend throught the Arredondos who married Santos COy and the Yslas Palacios of the mining area of Villaldama, Nuevo Leon who also married Santos Coy.

THe dna testing the results posted out on Gary Felix's Genealogy of Mexico website suggest a semitic origin to the family.

Ramirez De Coy

I have attached a pdf file of what I have so far. I have used the books of Garemendia Leal and the archives of monterrey as sources for this information.

Hello Esther,

Can you tell me where within the Gary Felix site there is the reference to the Santos in Tamulipas who had his Y-chromosome tested & found semitic heritage? The Gary Felix site is fascinating but I never know if I have completely searched it.

Thanks, Jan Jaeckle

I have Bernardo Santos COy married 2 times.

Also, at the Genealogy of Mexico site by Gary Felix there is a Santos out there from Tamulipias that had the y-dna tested and it looks like the origin is semitic not european.

I hope this helps.

Let me know if there is more I can do.

There is a connection between the de los Santos Coy/de la Garza Falcon families of Saltillo/Monterey and Valparaiso, Zacatecas.(Ranchos area). I tried to attach the marriage dispensation record from the Sagrada Mitra de Guadalajara which documents such a connection to my file in the Ranchos data but I was unsuccessful. I will retry later.

I would like to communicate with anybody with any connection with the Santos Coy of the Ranchos area. My Felgueres family has two separate marriages with the Santos Coy or de los Santos Coy or simply Coy or Coi family in the late 1700's and early 1800's.

It is clear to me that the Coys (or McCoys) of Scotland and England have absolutely no connection with the de los Santos Coy surname of Mexico which was created arbitrarily by the original Bernardo de los Santos Coy (see book "The Coy Family Reunion" by Robert Garcia and Yolanda Kirkpatrick, plus other sources). The Spanish of the 1500's and 1600's took great liberties with apellidos (surnames).

Hi Ed,

Bernardo de los Santos Coy does appear to have created his name, although we cannot be sure since no one has been able to find the genealogy of his parents, especially his father, Juan de Caliz.

However, the "Coy" part of his name is from his mother, Catalina Gomez de Coy. The musing about a Scottish visitor named McCoy traveling in Spain comes from Rodolfo Gonzalez dela Garza in "Mil Familias de Tamaulipas, Nuevo Leon, Coahuila y Texas, Tomo III." His extensive info comes from documents & personal interviews. I suspect that the idea was oral Santoscoy family history suggested to Mr. Gonzalez decades ago when he did his original interviews.

Finding Batch Numbers

Here is how I found the batch numbers for my specific ranchos (but there
is no guarantee there will be batch numbers for your ranchos):

1) go to the IGI

2) Under the first name put either "Jose" or "Maria"

That is more or less how I find batch numbers too, Joseph.

Subject: [Nuestros Ranchos] Finding Batch Numbers

Here is how I found the batch numbers for my specific ranchos (but there
is no guarantee there will be batch numbers for your ranchos):

1) go to the IGI

2) Under the first name put either "Jose" or "Maria"

3) Under the Last Name put a very very common name like "Garcia" or
"Hernandez" or "Gonzalez" etc.

4) Under Region put Mexico

5) Under State put "Jalisco" or what ever state you are looking for

6) click on search.

you will get several hundreds or probably 1000's of results. so

7) use your "Search" tool on your computer and put the name of the
rancho you are looking for. Let's say "Tamazula De Gordiano"

8) search page by page until you find an example of someone from
Tamazula De Gordiano

look for the batch number next to the film number. here is an example:

JOSSE MARIA GARCIA ARCEA Pedigree
Male

18 JUL 1798 San Francisco, Tamazula De Gordiano, Jalisco, Mexico

Parents:
Father: JOSSE MA. GARCIA Family
Mother: TERESA ARCEA

Source Information:
Batch No.: Dates: Source Call No.: Type:
Printout Call No.: Type:
C603754 1789 - 1817 0225986 Film NONE

9) now you have the batch number (C603754) for the period of time from
1789 thru 1817 so now we go about "Guessing" what the batch numbers are
for earlier and later periods

10) Plug in C603754 into the batch window on the IGI search and if you
leave Jose Garcia in you'll get all the Jose Garcia for Tamazula if y ou
take off the Jose you'll get all the Garcia but now we want to play with
the C603754 number.

11) modify C603754 to C603753 and see what happens and yes bingo we get
these results:

C603753 1783 - 1804 0225985 Film NONE

12) and again:

C603752 1761 - 1783 0225984

13) and again:

C603751 1652 - 1761 0225983

we know this is as far back as we can go by clicking on the film number
and seeing the earliest dates available on film

14) now lets guess going forward from C603754 to C603755 and we get:

C603755 1817 - 1835 0225987

15) and again to:

C603756 1835 - 1843 0225988

16) and again to:

C603757 1743 - 1850 0225989

sometimes it works like this and sometimes the numbers don't show a
pattern especially when you get the J (males) or K (females) listings.
Sometimes on the IGI search you need to do the "Jose" and "Garcia" and
"Mexico" and "Jalisco" and then insert a date for the missing set of
years in your batch numbers. Maybe there is a batch maybe there is not
for those missing years. Maybe there isn't even records for those years
so thus the missing batch records or film record for them. also you
need to limit your "Event" to marriages to find the marriages. well you
really don't have to but its easier.

well I kind of rushed through this and would be willing to explain a bit
more if any of the confusion above is more unclear that I think it is.

Me too,

I think it was Victor Villareal who used to be a Ranchos member several years ago who was generous enough to provide his tried and true methods for finding batch numbers. I was able to find 48 batch numbers pertaining to my municipio of Nochistlan, Zacatecas, my primary area of research with this method of searching.

Thanks Victor and thanks also to all those other members who give so much to so many.

Regards,
Alicia Carrillo,
San Jose, Calif

Subject: [Nuestros Ranchos] Finding Batch Numbers

Here is how I found the batch numbers for my specific ranchos (but there
is no guarantee there will be batch numbers for your ranchos):

1) go to the IGI

2) Under the first name put either "Jose" or "Maria"

3) Under the Last Name put a very very common name like "Garcia" or
"Hernandez" or "Gonzalez" etc.

4) Under Region put Mexico

5) Under State put "Jalisco" or what ever state you are looking for

6) click on search.

you will get several hundreds or probably 1000's of results. so

7) use your "Search" tool on your computer and put the name of the
rancho you are looking for. Let's say "Tamazula De Gordiano"

8) search page by page until you find an example of someone from
Tamazula De Gordiano

look for the batch number next to the film number. here is an example:

JOSSE MARIA GARCIA ARCEA Pedigree
Male

18 JUL 1798 San Francisco, Tamazula De Gordiano, Jalisco, Mexico

Parents:
Father: JOSSE MA. GARCIA Family
Mother: TERESA ARCEA

Source Information:
Batch No.: Dates: Source Call No.: Type:
Printout Call No.: Type:
C603754 1789 - 1817 0225986 Film NONE

9) now you have the batch number (C603754) for the period of time from
1789 thru 1817 so now we go about "Guessing" what the batch numbers are
for earlier and later periods

10) Plug in C603754 into the batch window on the IGI search and if you
leave Jose Garcia in you'll get all the Jose Garcia for Tamazula if y ou
take off the Jose you'll get all the Garcia but now we want to play with
the C603754 number.

11) modify C603754 to C603753 and see what happens and yes bingo we get
these results:

C603753 1783 - 1804 0225985 Film NONE

12) and again:

C603752 1761 - 1783 0225984

13) and again:

C603751 1652 - 1761 0225983

we know this is as far back as we can go by clicking on the film number
and seeing the earliest dates available on film

14) now lets guess going forward from C603754 to C603755 and we get:

C603755 1817 - 1835 0225987

15) and again to:

C603756 1835 - 1843 0225988

16) and again to:

C603757 1743 - 1850 0225989

sometimes it works like this and sometimes the numbers don't show a
pattern especially when you get the J (males) or K (females) listings.
Sometimes on the IGI search you need to do the "Jose" and "Garcia" and
"Mexico" and "Jalisco" and then insert a date for the missing set of
years in your batch numbers. Maybe there is a batch maybe there is not
for those missing years. Maybe there isn't even records for those years
so thus the missing batch records or film record for them. also you
need to limit your "Event" to marriages to find the marriages. well you
really don't have to but its easier.

well I kind of rushed through this and would be willing to explain a bit
more if any of the confusion above is more unclear that I think it is.

Hijo de Estado Chico

Does anyone know what "hijo de estado chico" means in a church document? We have in particular a marriage between Francisco Godoy and Maria Rosa Llamas, where it states that Francisco is "hijo de estado chico" de Nicolas Godoy y Brigida Ortiz...

Comments

Comment

Arturo,

I have never seen that statement in any "genealogical document" and "I" could'nt quite decipher it as you read it in the document you posted. (Maybe it is just my eldersheimerish eyes)

But linguistically, one of the Spanish meanings/usages of the word "estado" relates to the condition of a person as it relates to his civil rights/obligations (e.g. - single, married, divorced, minor, adult, etc.).

"Chico/a," is used/encountered when, without specifying the age of a person/child, nevertheless is understood or implied not to be very advanced.

So, as a stab, I might translate it to state/refer, in something of a legalistic context, to "a minor child of not much of an advanced age".

I don't know if this helps you (heck, I don't even know if I am right), but I thought I might as well give you my 2-cents' worth.

Comment

I am taking a wild stab at this...but I think the key word might be
"estado"...which could mean that he was adopted by both parents, but could have been
the child of someone else...and so he became legitimized while he was very
young by both parents...

Another stab at the word "estado" is from the inheritor of an estate while
he was still very young....

What is your guess?

************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com

Comment

My first thought was that he was an orphan, a ward of the state (estado), placed in the care of the individuals named.

How would a slave, bond servants, or a serf be referred to in the Hispanic vital records? With my Portuguese family history research I have come across the word "escravo," meaning slave... Church records, ie. confirmation records, listed these individuals as being the "escravo," of (the owners were then named).

Comment

I am beginning to think that the term may mean that he was adopted, i.e. not "hijo de nacimiento" or "child by birth" but "hijo de estado chico" or "child from a young age (i.e. but not from birth)"

Pat, in Spanish colonial documents, slaves appear as "esclavos." I have run across many marriage documents for Afro-Mexicans for slaves. Unfortunately they usually list only the master of the person and not their parents.

Here is an example:

1677-06-07
Nicolás de Ribera, mulato esclavo de Joseph de Marquezinas, con María Pérez, mestiza soltera sirviente de el dicho Joseph Marquezinas. Padrinos Lorenzo Martínez y Michaela Martínez, su mujer. Testigos Antonio Martínez del Castillo presbítero y Nicolás de Ybarra, vecinos de este pueblo de Tlaltenango.

Comment

Thank you Arturo,

I agree, I think he was an orphan and at a very young age was adopted. Is there an "estado," Chico in Mexico, or does "chico," translate to imean "of a young age?"

Portuguese marriage records are pretty much as you noted in your posting for individuals described as being an "escravo." Though on some records, it will show either the mother's name with a notation as being an escravo, and/or a father as being "incognito." Others will give the names of both parents, but indicating which parent was an escravo.

This is a listing from the birth index for the island of Porto Santo, Madeira, Portugal...

Child Father Mother
João "o Calorio", escravo Não refere Não refere
Maria João Perestrelo, escravo Maria de Mendonça*
Pedro Gaspar dos Reis, escravo Filipa de Santiago*
Manuel Gaspar, escravo Filipa de Santiago*
Francisco, escravo Não refere Não refere*
António, escravo Incógnito Incógnita*
Francisco, escravo Incógnito Incógnita*
José, escravo Incógnito Incógnita*
João, escravo Incógnito Incógnita*
Antão, escravo Incógnito Incógnita*
Manuel, escravo Incógnito Leonor, escrava baça*
Manuel, escravo Incógnito [Maria], escrava*
Antão, escravo Não refere Não refere*
Manuel, escravo Incógnito Leonor, escrava baça*
Manuel, escravo Incógnito Maria, escrava*

* I think the term "baça," means dark..possibly nergo, but I'm not 100% certain...

Pat

Comment

Interesting, I'll run it by the Brazilian List Group, and see what they have to say... I left out the accent mark under the letter 'c'..., the word is actually baça... not sure it will show up on this posting or if the accent changes the meaning of the word... it changes how the word is pronounced, c with accent, is pronounced as an s sound... .

"estado" yes it is referred as (single, married, etc) such as "soltero,
casado
but "chico" if it was referred as a young age, it should read "menor de
edad"

so, I am still not quite sure of what does it means

Sylvia H Corona

Comment

Latina and Interested List Members,

Here's what my Portuguese source had to say about the word...Pat

"I suppose it must be baço. Escrava baça (female) -- Escravo baço (male)

Baço means half white half black, mestiço. (half-breed or half-caste or mestizo). Could be from arab origins, as many Canarians were.

Frequently slaves took the surnames and names of their owners."

Comment

This is the first time that I see this phrase, I look it up on the Colonial Spanish Terms and I could not see it there.
Does any one knows the meaning of it?

i asked a coworker of mine who's first language is spanish and she said what comes to mind is "being underage"....

Aguascalientes Census 1930 Now Being Indexed!

The familysearchindexing.com site has recently put up the Aguascalientes section of the 1930 Mexico census up as a project!

Given that most people in this group are computer saavy and that this state is smack in the heart of our area of research, we should try to get as many people involved in helping out with this indexing project. You can volunteer to index as little or as much as you want and you can do it anytime you want over the internet.

For Raul Fernandez

Raul, I don't know if you have this information but I do have some of your line from Los Haros, Jerez Zacetacs that shows it a couple of generations further back than you posted in your file on both the Santiago and Haro families. My records only have 3 children for Jose Maria Hurtado and Maria Matilde Santiago, they are Pascuala 1889, Fabiana 1900 and Benigno in 1903.

this could be the same Eugenio Fernandez related to Bartolome and Eugenio
Fernandez, of the same area of Mexico, who were given a grant in 1787 - the
San Concepcion Carricitos grant. Thanks for any info you might

Thanks and yes Feliz 16 de Septiembre! ! !

I didn't tell anyone but should now use this opportunity to spread the
good news. About 4 months ago Figen and I converted to Vegetarian. I
started looking at my work and position on the sustainability of the
environmental system we're living under and when folks ask what can I
do, "change a light bulb" wasn't enough of an answer for me. I saw how
Animal Factory Farming contributes 18% to green house gasses and after
seeing the film _the RAVE diet_ decided right there and then that to be
consistent with my position on their needing to be serious environmental
change I personally needed to stop eating meat (I don't think everyone
needs to take that position but I think a 50% cut minimum in this
countries meat consumtion is not too much to ask). Well I guess Natalie
unknowingly nudged me onto my soap box so I'll go ahead and step down.
Imagine that a Mexican vegetarian: But let me quote you a message from
Cesar Chavez who for 25 years was a Vegetarian:

"No podemos defender ni ser compasivos hacia los animales hasta que
dejemos de explotarlos en nombre del deporte, en nombre de la cinecia,
en nombre de la moda, y si, de explotar a animales en nombre de la comida.

La base de la paz es respetar a todos los seres".

Cesar Chavez, Vegetarismo por 25 anos, de su discurso al aceptar el
premio a su obra de por vida de "In Defense of Animals" en el 1992

thanks Natalie for the links and the opportunity,

joseph

ps: I can't imagine my meating eating family from Jalisco and Zacatecas
is amazed at my conversion. Our diets growing up, the typical meat
eating one was very heavy in the use of Manteca and I can still see my
mom making crispy tiny pig chicharones but that wasn't her goal she was
cooking them down for the Manteca.

She used it for her homemade flour tortillas, to refry her beans, to fry
eggs, well heck she probably used it for everything. She was taught to
cook for the family by my Grandmother Virginia Diaz Santa Maria (dob
1886) who was taught by my G-Grandmother Antonia Santa Maria Espinoz
(dob: 1862) born close to Tepetongo, Zacatecas.

Joseph:

I applaud you on your conviction and resolve to make the conversion. I tried vegeterianism for a while in college and converted back.

My father, for health resasons, is largely a vegetarian as of several years back. He eats some fish and a bit of chicken but nothing else. He gets to eat nopales, frijoles, calabazas, elotes, huitlacoche, tunas and all sorts of other foods that he loves. The problem is more social since my mother and most of his acquaintances still eat menudo, pozole and tacos de carnitas. To my mother's credit she has started making chicken pozole.

Anyhow, in college I had a course on pre-Hispanic Mexican history and anthropology and we had a guest lecturer for a couple of classes on the historic gastronomy of Mexico and given that turkeys and dogs were pretty much the only domesticated animals in Mexico... yes Mexicans ate dogs... little ones that looked like Chihuahuas but fatter because they force fed them corn... the diet was largely vegetarian.

Beans, huitlacoche and fresh water algea and moss provided rich vegetarian protein sources.

Comment

They also ate mosquitoes (formed into bricks) and grasshoppers and
other bugs for protein. ¡Yummo,! as "Raquel" Ray would say!
I like vegetables a lot myself but can't give up my carne fix
completely.:) Marge:)

Comment

I moved over to the general list.

thanks Arturo and Marge. Can you imagine how they must have been eaten
by the mosquitos if they were also eating them in quantities large
enough to form bricks.

Arturo if your memory triggers the names of those guest lecturers I'd
love to contact them to see if they'd be willing to do a podcast on that
subject for the http://NuestraFamiliaUnida.com site.

thanks again very interesting reply from both of you.

dogs, huh, I betya a lot of Mexican folk would resist the idea that our
ancestors ate them. Then again a lot of folks are resistant to the idea
that the Mexican population has a significant African blood line mixed in.

Comment

Arturo,

You said that Mexicans ate dogs. I had heard that Chinese ate dogs and cats, but I didn't know the ancient Mexicans did. I thought they kept dogs as pets because I have a book of photos of pre-Columbian sculptures and one of them is of a young woman nursing a small dog, one that looks like what we call "Chihuahua" dogs. That sculpture just grossed my husband out, but I found it intriguing. I thought perhaps the young woman was a substitute mother to the dog and I am sad to think she was fattening it up to eat it. I think the Aztecs ate snakes and other crawly things. I saw a cooking program about people in Mexico going back to the way the Aztecs ate, but I could never eat those things. When I go out, I will still order carne adobada tacos or pork pozole.

My husband and I both are starting to avoid red meat except when we go out due to the concern about cholesterol and mad cow disease, but we feel better eating mostly salmon and tuna and vegetables and very little chicken. We now also eschew rice, potatoes, pastas and white bread; instead we use whole grain cous-cous (olive oil and garlic flavored) and whole grain bread or sour dough bread.

Arturo,

I probably didn't fully explain myself. I have always preferred to associate myself with the native population of Mexico and have often times decried the cruelty of the Spanish Conquistadores and may at times be blind to the realities of the native population and it's cruel rituals.
Yes I know very well of the cruelty and injustice of the inquisition and I consider myself a Catholic and to this date I decry the inustices in the name of religion, any religion.
I guess what I was trying to say is that one can't glorify any one culture or religion over another, they each have their evils and one of the greatest evils of the Aztecs was the practice of sacrificing humans not only spaniards but Aztecs and other indians to feed to their gods.

When I read about the food consumption of cats and dogs it brought to mind what I had read about the Aztecs not liking the spanish flesh because it was too bitter.

The lecturer was Sophie Coe who was the wife of our professor Michael Coe. She is a prominent food historian who has authored several books on Mexican food including:

The True History of Chocolate and
America's First Cuisines

As far as Mexicans eating Spaniards, it must be put in the context of the ceremonies and wars that were ongoing at the time. If we only had similar texts from Jews tortured in the inquisition or from the Chichimecs so brutally murdered by the Spaniards in their conquest, they would likely not be much different.

Peter Gerhard writes:
[Nuno de] Guzmán's strategy throughout was to terrorize the natives with often unprovoked killing, torture, and enslavement… The army left a path of corpses and destroyed houses and crops, impressing surviving males into service and leaving women and children to starve

Mexico Before and during the conquest

And then again many people would be resistant to the idea that during the conquest, the Mexicans(Aztecs) ate the españoles, their conquerors.

To anyone faint of heart, do not read beyond these words because I have quoted from Bernal Diaz del Castillo's History of the Conquest of Mexico.

Hijo de Estado Chico

Greetings,

As I am new to Nuestros Ranchos, please forgive me if I am not upto date. However, I have been reading about the person looking to understand what "Hijo de Estado Chico" means.

If I am not mistaken, in the old days one was described due to their economical status. Although "Estado" could mean or describe someone "status" lets not forget it also stands for "State" as in location. The word chico could mean "minor" meaning under age, but it could also stand for "small" as in someone from a small state/town. I think when they announce Estado Chico, it could mean someone from a small town/ranch, someone without large economical status or resources, maybe a humble person, etc......

Vivian, I have this record that seems to be from your family. I was tracking Mejia family trying to tie it into mine. Also, some records read Murillo and others read Morillo so you may want to check out both spellings.

Nuestros Ranchos files

I hope someone can help me since I can't seem to get into most of the files of the Nuestros Ranchos members. When I try to access the file it says error report, any idea what I'm doing wrong? I'd really like to see and read what's posted.

Linda:

Can you explain a bit more what the error is that you are getting and perhaps send a screenshot? I imagine you are able to get into the file folders but get an error when you click on at attached file?

I know that some browser setups try to open the files in the browser which leads to an error if they are not PDFs. You can try right-clicking on the file, saving it and then opening it from your desktop.

But please send some more details of your specific problem to see if we can't troubleshoot it.

Comment

Arturo, What you suggested worked! I can read the file if I save it instead of trying to open it directly from the site. I'm not very good with computers so every bit of advice is very valuable to me.. learn as I go..

thank you,

??how could I get the batch

Not all microfilms have batch numbers. Only the microfilms that have been
extracted. I might also add that in order anyone to search those batches they
have to be in the IGI database (you may also want to search the Vital Records

Obtaining a batch number through the LDS Family History Center

Hello All,

There is a batch number listing on microfiche that is called "Parish and Vital Records List". The copy I have has the date July 1998.(I only copied a portion of the film I needed). I believe that is the last time the LDS church put it out before becoming computerized. Before computers the IGI was on Microfiche....and most family history centers keep on file the old fiche.

I wanted to add something that new members or people just starting to use the Familysearch online site should know, not all names are online even when you have a batch number. If you found the correct film and batch number but found nothing online it just means you should double check by ordering the film and going through it frame by frame. I've found many family members who were not listed online. So many names were mispelled or just not legible plus there is nothing like the feeling of finding it yourself.

Hello! If I have a film number, how could I get the batch number, been the case I don´t have a name nor a surname?
per example, I have a film number for Silao, Gto., FHL INTL 291844 baptisms 1670-1717, what would be the batch number?

Thank you.

I found film numbers as well, but how do I get the batch?

Please, try to find the batch number for this films: 291844, or 291845, or 291846 related to baptisms from Silao, Guanajuato

As you see I need steps, so tell me how.

Do all films have a batch number?

Any help appreciated. Thank you again.

Hello everyone:

I've been a member for about two weeks. In going through some old pictures, I decided to get serious about charting out my family history, and through good ole Google, came across this Web site. In going through old pictures my late parents left me, I also found a typed family history of the paternal side of my family, which is from Ejutla, Jalisco.

Some more information from IGI and VRI. These appear to be siblings of Jose Rafael Michel Vasquez baptized in Tuxcacuesco, Jalisco.

Roberto:

It is great to have you in the group and thank you for taking the time to present yourself and to provide such a rich and detailed family history.

I think you will find that there are many knowledgeable members in the group who are ready and willing to help you out with your documentation project and help you get your genealogy growing back in time and laterally.

Just to begin, San Miguel appears to be the name of the parrish in Ejutla so it is very likely that the town has historically been known by both names. Certainly some of the marriages listed in your document as occuring in San Miguel are listed in Ejutla parrish records.

This is from IGI and may be a good pair of films to start with as they will list the bride and groom's parents and have lots of other useful information.

MARCIALA URIBE
Marriages:
Spouse: RAFAEL GRA. Family
Marriage: 19 FEB 1828 San Miguel, Ejutla, Jalisco, Mexico
Batch No.: M602638 Film Number 1155448

JOSE RAFAEL MICHEL Pedigree
Marriages:
Spouse: MA. ANTA. COBARRUVS. Family
Marriage: 21 JAN 1799 San Miguel, Ejutla, Jalisco, Mexico
Batch No.: M602637 Film Number 1155447

You can find a family history center near you on familysearch.org and order the films and then get a copy or scan of the actual documents.

If you go into the films database, you will notice that there is a substantial number of films from Ejutla that have been indexed in IGI and are therefore searchable. Just click on one of the IGI buttons and then you can browse through the names on the film or refine the search by last name or date or whatever other criteria...

Good luck.

I added 2 film numbers

I have on loan two films, one for Jesús María, Jal. baptisms 1908-1916, other one for Arandas, Jal. baptisms 1910-1913, I can do a look up glady.

Obtaining access to films

Pedro:

The films listed in the database are all available through the Church of Latter Day Saints and you can order them at any one of their family history centers located throughout the US and the world for a nominal fee of $5.50. Some films are on permanent loan to group members and those who are willing to do ad hoc lookups for other members have listed their names next to the corresponding films.
