Hi Jospuen

This is indeed a very interesting topic. You might want to try with an academic article which has a good bibliography - sometimes its helpful to see what researchers have as their primary sources, which seem to be what you are looking for.

This is a start: When half of the population died: the epidemic of hemorrhagic fevers of 1576 in Mexico
https://academic.oup.com/femsle/article/240/1/1/536409

You could also find out who cites this article via social science research index.

Questions and comments:
1. Does anyone have located the death record of Beatriz Delgado?
2. Also I don't understand how the "Rodas" last name fits into this line. Both daughters use that last name. Any ideas?
3. I think is important keep in mind that Beatriz Delgado was also known as Beatriz Gonzalez.
I'm very interested in knowing more about the marriage that Andrea mentioned (Martin Gonzalez and Beatriz Delgado. (see baptism 3 may 1637)

Hi, I came across a family search record and it makes several mentions of two sisters, Catharina Ponce and Beatriz Ponce, and was wondering if there was any relation to the Catalina Ponce mentioned in this thread.

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-6594-SD?i=6&cc=1874591

Thanks

I am in the same boat as you and Maven-- I descend from Manuel de Viera and Catalina Ponce. My dead ends are the same as yours. We just don't have the records that go back further, although there could be property or land and water records that include additional information. These records may not yet be digitized or indexed. However, for ancestors from this area at this time period, this is about where the trail ends.

Would you be willing to share Beatriz's MtDNA haplogroup when you find out? I'd be curious what hers is-- she not my direct maternal ancestor, but she is one of my ancestors.

Thanks!

Hi Andrea,
I have both Francisca AND Catalina in my direct lines and have not been ble to go further than the two docs you listed above. I recently, combed through all of tlaltenango and rest of Zacatecas looking for a connection for Manuel Veira as the surname isn’t that common. In “Familias antiguas de Tlaltenango” p. 62 States Manuel was an unmarried Spaniard , resident of the guardianship of El Teul. Also, perhaps there is a connection with Agustina veira, or its actually Vera.
I have Beatriz Delgado, not Brígida. And I’ve seen Catalina as Catalina perla, Catalina de Rodas and Catalina ponce de Rodas.
Coincidently, the last marriage record u posted was Juan de Vera married to Juana Miramontes. The padrinos are Lorenzo Miramontes m. María Gonzales, who is ma. Gonzales Delgado. Their son is Juan Miramontes m. Brígida Ortiz, my 12th grandparents.

Good Luck,

Hi,

Based on your information I would assumed that you are right. The first wife was the sister of the second wife.
Regarding the discrepancy between Antonia Gutierrez vs Antonia Ortega, to make sure I would search for her parents. I'm assuming that you are going to find Ortega/Gutierrez (either order)
I had a case like that once (i woman that kept changing last names late 1800's). I found out that she was an illegitimate child. That is just one reason. Another one (very common) is that is somehow a compound last name.
I hope this helps. Good luck!

Claudia,

The old "Padrones Parroquiales" amounted to censuses conducted by the
Catholic Church among its members. The letters you are wondering about
indicate which Sacraments had been received by the "feligreses" at the time
the census was conducted, i.e. CC - Confesión y Comunión, C - Confirmación,
CV - Casamiento y Velación, etc. An explanation of these abbreviations is
usually included on the first page. I don't have any examples handy, but if
you want I can look it up for you.

Researching Huizar must be challenging because it has so many spelling variants. (Huizar, Uisar, Ysar, Hizar, Guizar, etc...)

Here is María Martina Huizar's baptism, in case you don't already have it. It lists her paternal and maternal grandparents.

The info I have on the Macias is from 1650 back to 1521
Gaspar Macias Valades was my 6th great grandfather married to Antonia De Anda Altamirano. He was born in Teocaltiche but his parents are from Aguascalientes. Gaspar Macias children and subsequent descendants all went with the surname De Anda

I have seen this a few times. I discovered the reason for one of these was that the couple had a few kids before marrying, and then a few after. Once they were married, many considered the children legitimate.

Hola Primo

Thank you again, you and Mary Lou are just the gifts that keep on giving. You've helped us all.

Thanks Primo.....

Manny,

I have 2 lines from sierra de pinos. Thank you so much!!

susana

thank you so much to both of you

Manny

Was this register microfilmed? If so, what is the film number.

George

Thank you so much for the work that has gone into this Manny, Sarod, and Mary Lou!

Alex

Found it. There is an obscured note in the margin of folio 57 (image 190) that states that the entry can be found on the backside of folio 85 (image 219).

You can use the website worldcat to find libraries that have this set of books. There is an older edition (1981 edition?) that may be more widely available, but this is only one volume.

Hi Cindy
I have found it varies by period, the priest and other variables but it is mostly 1 month prior. Example: if person marries Jan 10, 1730, you would look for it Dec 10, 1729. I normally start with the first of Dec to be sure. However as in all things there are exceptions, IM's can be taken a week before. Records are usually mixed up. You can have a Traveling priest so they go pueblo to pueblo, the years go backwards or dates. If there are only three years say for example 1729 to 1731 and there are 700 pages there might be different years included or other situations. And though you may not find an IM for a couple it could be that either it was taken elsewhere where the groom or the bride lives or there exists a Dispensa.

Good Luck,
Simona

Be sure to check out the Aguascalientes civil records at Ancestry.com. They have been indexed, and are linked to the images of the documents.

From Ancestry’s search menu, search the catalog for Aguascalientes (or any other state of interest) and from the resultant list you can select Aguascalientes birth, marriage or death records. You can select the one of interest and search specifically for Aguascalientes records. This gives you more relevant results than the general search.

This works for any state in Mexico, but I am not sure how complete they are.

You can search these records for free at any LDS Family History Center, and at many public libraries.

The civil records begin at the end of the 1850’s and from their it is an easy transition to the church records.

Thank you Ed!

Hi Manny,

Thanks so much for posting all this! I came across the Flores de la Torre información and made a few quick notes a few months ago, but hadn't had the time to go through it.

I took a look at the witness testimony of Hernando Viera and I think it says "tres". Compare it with "trata" just three lines down and "contra" on the last line of the first question. This "tr" combination is a bit interesting.

Saludos!

- Richard

.Fantastic finds!! I repeatedly descend from Lorenzo Alvarez and Agustina de Veira.

Thank you Manny for sharing all this information

Joseph,
I also have many Viramontes in my family tree and the short answer is "I don't know."! The earliest ancestor from around 1690 is Jose Christobal Miramontes. http://www.arturogonzalez.com/LaVillitaFamilies/languages/en/persons/Pe…

The Tierras y Aguas records use the "M" (and to several others with the same last name) and the Guadalajara also use the M the farther one looks. By the way, my V(M)iramontes seem to have ties to Tlaltenango. One of the Tierras y Aguas records mentions a path heading over the mountains from La Villita in Jalpa to Tlaltenango. Plus I think one of the sons of Jose Christobal was born in Tlaltenango in 1714.

Israel,

We are and should be closely related. My mother's family had continuous movement between Aguascalientes and
Calvillo. My mother was born in Aguascalientes. You are absolutely correct, there is only one Loera family. All
the Loera of Aguascalientes come from Diego de Loera and Margarita de Nava back from the early 1600s.

Like many here I am also closely related to Fernandez de Palo, Lopez de Nava, Tiscareno, Romo de Vivar
and Martinez de Sotomayor. These families were close knit not only in Aguascalientes but also Calvillo.

Please contact me,
Daniel

Israel, welcome to the wonderful frustrating elating world of genealogy.  My
fathers family was from Jerez Zacatecas and there were many Loera/Luera located
there. I find the change in spelling frustrating but it was the scribe not the
people the records talk abt.  I ended up putting into my files Loera/Luera since
there was no other way to do it. I put my files on Rootsweb.com because it's
free and anyone can check them without having to pay.

good luck
Linda Castanon-Long in B.C.

Subject: [Nuestros Ranchos] Introduction of Israel Sustaita Loera

I'm really happy to be part of this great community and I thank everybody that
runs this website. My family comes from the small town of Ojocaliente, Calvillo
in  in the state of Aguascalientes.  In Ojocaliente there are many people with
the surname Loera and my research has proven that many of us are related .This
area used to be called Valle de Huajucar or Huejucar.

I started my research about 4 months ago and it's been an amazing experience
because to me it feels like I'm a lucky archaeologist who discovers a lost tomb
and I'm the first one to see it in hundreds of years. I was very surprised to
discover that both my grandparents on my mother's side and  my grandmother on my
father's side are related. All of them are descendants of Ricardo Loera and
Barbara Gertrudis Lopez who were married, probably, between 1750 and 1770. It is
very frustrating that I have not been able to find out who their parents were to
continue my research and I hope somebody can help me on this. It was also
surprising to find out that I'm related to the Fernandez de Palos  from
Aguascalientes.

Me siento muy feliz al ser parte de esta gran comunidad les doy las gracias a
todos los que hacen este sitio posible. Toda mi familia es originaria del el
pueblo de Ojocaliente en el municipio de Calvillo en Aguascalientes. En
Ojocaliente hay muchísimos Loeras y he encontrado en mis investigaciones que
muchos somos parientes lejanos. Esta área se llamaba Valle de Huajucar o Huecar
antes de llamarse Calvillo.

Llevo 4 meses investigando y ha sido una experiencia maravillosa porque me
siento como si fuera un arqueólogo que ha descubierto una tumba perdida y es el
primero en ver adentro en siglos. Durante todo este corto tiempo he descubierto
que mis abuelos del lado de mi mama tienen un ancestro en común y que también
ese mismo ancestro en común lo tiene mi abuelita del lado de mi papa. Todos son
descendiente de Ricardo Loera y Bárbara Gertrudis López quien se han de haber
casado entre el 1750 y 1770. Es una lastima que no he podido encontrar quienes
eran sus papas pues los únicos records que he encontrado en Familysearch son de
sus hijos y nunca mencionan a los padres por esos años espero y alguien pueda
ayudarme con esto. También he descubierto que soy descendiente de los Fernandez
de Palos de Aguascaliente
