Jesus Maria & San Jose Calvillo, Aguascalientes Batch Numbers

Anyone doing Aguascalientes Research? Here is a great volunteer
opportunity! Learn how to data entry this information in to the films
database that Arturo built. Interested, but have questions? Ask away.

Does anyone know the location of Chilarillo? -- presumably somewhere in
Aguascalientes circa 1835, mentioned in several Rincón/San José
christening records. I have not been able to find it on any of my maps
or in any of the lists of ranchos and haciendas that I know of.

Stuart, it's listed here: http://biblio2.colmex.mx/bibdig/dicc_cubas/base3.htm this is in our links. It shows 7 Chilarillos, hopefully one is yours.

Hello Erlinda,

Thank you, Linda.
I will bookmark that source. It looks like a very useful resource.

I do not understand about this data base? Could you explain, is that from IGI? Helen

Helen:

The films database on Nuestros Ranchos has two basic functions... the first is to make it easier to search IGI and VRI by providing batch numbers by municipality and date so that you can easily narrow your search and even perform powerful wildcard searches that are usually not possible without batch numbers. In fact, when you find a film in the database, you can simply click the IGI or VRI button next to the film number and it will take you directly to the familysearch website and give you a listing of EVERYTHING that is on that film from which you can narrow your search by entering as little or as much additional data as you want.

The second purpose is so that members can see if another member has a particular film on indefinite loan at their local FHC. Members who have films on such indefinte loan are usually familiar with the content of the film and can answer questions and some very generous ones will even do a sporadic lookup for another member so as to facilitate searches...

I hope this helps.

Comment

Well the specific info below is from the IGI

why not go and have a look

log in to the http://nuestrosranchos.org site and then at the top pick
the "Films" tab and have a look around. You can access this info from
www.familysearch.org but here we have many of the films/batch numbers in
one place thanks to Arturo. Of course we don't have a comprehensive
listing for our area that is why I was making an appeal for a data entry
volunteer.

batch number hunting for your relatives will help you save a lot of time
when your films come in so you can go directly to the records you are
looking for. But if you have the time going through the films frame by
frame is by far the best way to do it.

joseph

ps: you might want to look in the message archives also for the subject
of "Batch Numbers" or words similar to this. over the years we've had
much discussion about using batch numbers to search for ancestors. If
you can't find them let me know and I'll try to go in and bring them out.

Joseph:

I have uploaded the Aguascalientes batch and film numbers that you posted. There is way to do mass imports which makes large amounts of data entry unnecessary.

Mickey, I believe you had sent me a similar list with Jalisco batch numbers sometime last month. My computer died and with it died the file you sent me. Can you resend it to me?

Also, there were other members who were doing data entry and entered films with errors they could not fix. I have got some breathing room again and can attend to getting all this fixed, if people just send me their requests PRIVATELY to my email address or through the contact form on the site.

Thank you to everyone for making the Films Database such a sucess.

Here is a very brief outline of my father's journey to the USA from
Mexico.

Raul Estrada born in 1905 in Monterrey, Mexico and died in 1948, El Paso,
Texas.

At the age of 16 he crossed illegally the border from Mexico to the USA.
He was apprehended by the Border Patrol and deported a total of 5 times.
Raul crossed illegally the deadly Arizona desert once and almost died of
thirst. While crossing the Arizona desert he did manage to find some
water but it was crawling with worms. He drank some of it anyway.

His main work was as a painter, plasterer and decorator. At other times
he worked as a sheep herder, occasionally as a migrant worker in the
farms, and in railroad construction. In 1933 he and his brothers moved to
Magdalena, New Mexico where he met and married my mother. After his last
deportation he finally was allowed to apply for his immigration visa in
1940 because his wife and four children were American citizens. As part
of the penalty, however, he had to spend 10 months in Juarez, Mexico
before he could join his family in the USA.

Three of their children are college graduates.

help- TENASCO (TENAXCO)

Hi;

I hope somebody can help me with this. In one of my lines from Jerez-tepetongo (Salinas line). I have a document (Marriage 1737) that saids that the family was from TENASCO. I assumed that was in Jalisco. I found a dam with the name Tenaxco very close to colotlan-Sta Maria de los Angeles. But now there isn't a town with that name. Can anyone tell me if Tenasco was the old name for the region? Where should I look for the records? Maybe Colotlan?, Maybe Sta Maria de los Angeles? Has anyone seen the name tenasco (tenaxco)?

Susana:
Tenasco is a very small town (always was a small town) my father born there, so the place is real, this town belongs to the municipaly of Santa Maria de los Angeles Jalisco. Most of the people now are outside of town, some people emigrate to Guadalajara, Zacatecas and USA: Texas, Kansas, California, Illinois.
Ones of the web sites is http://www.santamariadelosangeles.com/ it is in spanish.
My father born there in 1943 at that time the town was around 600 people and at this time is less than 100 people.
In the old times this town belongs to Colotlan Jalisco, but now it belongs to Santa Maria de los Angeles Jalisco. In the past Tenasco was a little place alongside of the Camino Real "Royal Road" to Zacatecas, but in moderns times was builded a new road and the town decrese with the time.
The best place to seach is Colotlan because always was the big town and since the spanish colony was the place for justice, economic, administrative.
As you say Colotlan and Santa Maria de los Angeles are close one each other, 8Km (5 miles) and Tenasco is around 7km from Santa Maria de los Angeles (4.5 miles).

A religius holiday is 16 July "Nuestrara Senora del Carmen", Tenasco ( Nahuatl word ) comes from Tena-Mitl “muro" (Wall)” Is-Co “en frente de" (in front): “frente a la muralla” (In front of the Wall).
So Tenasco means "In front of the Wall".

I never been there but I'am planing for next year a trip to investigate the roots of my family.

Have a nice day!!!

Thank-you so mucho for the information about Tenasco. The family that I'm
looking for in Tenasco are the "Salinas de Biena". They left Tenasco around
1730's. They moved to Jerez, Zacatecas. I'm going to start searching for
them in Colotlan.
Thank-you again

Susana:

The dates preclude you looking anywhere other than Jerez or Colotlan. The parishes in the other towns you mention were not yet set up in 1737. You may also want to look in Tlaltenango... I have been surprised at the number of families that would get married and baptise their children there from as far north as the Hacienda de Troje or Hacienda del Astillero.

Comment

Arturo,

In your response to Susana are you referring to the Hacienda del Astillero in Valparaiso, Zacatecas? I too have been finding difficulty finding people and it does seem to be that many of the smaller communities had to go to the larger cities for baptisms and marriages. My problem is that I have found no particular pattern other than church location close to the residence.

Are there other reasons for going to someplace else for baptisms or marriages besides the closest church? More specifically, where did the people from Valparaiso area go in the years before it was an "official" village? Also the "Colotlan" people seem not necessarily go strictly to Colotlan? Any other cities/churches where the people in and around Colotlan went?

Thanks!

I wouldn't comment with authority (heck I wouldn't comment with
authority on anything), but other places that the Colotlan folks might
have gone was Huejucar.

I'm just guessing, but maybe if they had relatives in the various
locations they might have made the trip to other communities both to
visit and have their children baptised etc. Now this is a good topic to
get into as it produces more questions than answers. For example with
the Civil Records I would guess that they HAD TO take their children to
be recorded in the cabecera for the locality, but was there freedom for
the Church records? I know if you left the area completely there was
some kind of protocol for the church "investigating" if you were in good
standing from that other parrish [was that only for marriages?]. So
maybe if they went outside of their immediate larger town to do their
baptisms there was some kind of "paperwork" generated or written up for
the priests in that neighboring locations.

There are a number of Colotlan marriages in Tlaltenango in the earlier years (1600s), especially of the Spanish families. I think that since Colotlan was a Franciscan convent used as a mission for the Indians, perhaps the Spanish families did not feel it was proper for them to go get married there.

I also think that Tlaltenango was a pretty bustling market town and perhaps a wedding there made it easier for business associates and such to attend? I would not rule out marriages from Valparaiso being in Tlaltenango or Jerez in the earlier years. I think that the Spanish families of the whole area from Jerez to Tlaltenango were all pretty intertwined and would move up and down the valley with frequency.

The other thing to consider is that people would marry someone from outside their town and would often go to the bride's town to get married and then bring her back.

here is a map that has Tenasco, Jalisco on it. Very close to the

they would have been in Santa Maria de Los Angeles.

Prima,

go to the Albums area and look in the "Maps" folder for a much better

have a look,

Say a hundred kits to Aguascalientes, 500 to Mexico City, 35 to the Lopez family of Northern California...or for the entire Tigua Tribe...

They would provide enough for Nuestros Ranchos entire membership.

If this is something we think is worthwhile to pursue. I ordered their kit, but never returned it because it is an anonymous test as I understand it. Unless something has changed.

I would appreciate hearing input from others on this forum who have participated in the Sorenson Project.

It is free, simple and painless. They send you a test tube, and q tip to swab the inside of your cheek with. You mail it back to them.

Also, if anyone has participated in the National Geographic Genone Project.

I can see the broad outlines, and general benefits of the projects to society as a whole. To track population movements.

I don't know if their results are applicable in a personal, or specific sense.

Very interesting. I'm glad someone knew what this was all about. I
didn't.

I have participated in the Sorenson Molecular Genealogy study. I
sent in my sample in January, 2006. It was not a cheek swab like the
FamilyTreeDNA tests are. It was a liquid you swish around in your
mouth, spit back into the cup, seal and return it in the envelopes
supplied.

What you say about the study is true. You do not personally get
any results from your sample. However, SMGF (Sorenson) has a website
where you can search for matches to your mtDNA and Y-DNA markers you
tested from other facilities. Having the tests performed in Mexico
would help those of us who are looking for matches in that country.
They require that a four generation pedigree be included with the
sample.

I received this email from SMGF a few days ago. "Dear Friends of SMGF,
We are pleased to announce the release of the Sorenson mtDatabase
available at http://www.smgf.org. As its name suggests, this is a
correlated database of mtDNA sequences and genealogical data. The 4000
+ samples that comprise this first release have been sequenced along
the entire control (D-loop) region. For this reason, the database can
be queried using data from HVR1, HVR2, and HVR3.

Furthermore, we have enhanced the current Y chromosome database
searching capabilities by adding nearly 700 new haplotypes, the
DYS464 marker to the already impressive list of searchable markers, a
new version of the place/time analysis application, and new
educational pages to help you learn more about molecular genealogy
and find new family connections.

We invite you to try the newly released Sorenson mtDatabase and added
features available on the SMGF website. As always, please contact us
at info@smgf.org with your comments and suggestions.

Sincerely,
The SMGF Team"

I understand that not all their data has been released to the public
yet. I'm looking forward to more data being entered into their
database. Maybe I can find a match. I can then check the pedigree
of matching markers to see if we are connected.

Linda (Romero),

Yes, as Ernie says, this is the Brigham Young U. project. (Brigham Young U. is LDS). I had wanted to participate when it started, if only to help them build a database. I would not have gotten any personal results, only a report on migration of our species. They had us (my husband and myself) go to a community center and present our family trees and my husband and I were rejected because we had (and still have) gaps in our first five generations. Funny, I found everyone back in the late 1700s and early 1800s, but maybe the Revolution caused the loss of a lot of later records in Mexico. The oldest records must have been in a safer place in a central well-guarded location.

Linda: Benecio is referring to the Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation. Its a long running project located, I believe, in Salt Lake City, Utah. They send out as many kits as any group can use.
Say a hundred kits to Aguascalientes, 500 to Mexico City, 35 to the Lopez family of Northern California...or for the entire Tigua Tribe...

They would provide enough for Nuestros Ranchos entire membership.

If this is something we think is worthwhile to pursue. I ordered their kit, but never returned it because it is an anonymous test as I understand it. Unless something has changed.

I would appreciate hearing input from others on this forum who have participated in the Sorenson Project.

It is free, simple and painless. They send you a test tube, and q tip to swab the inside of your cheek with. You mail it back to them.

Also, if anyone has participated in the National Geographic Genone Project.

I can see the broad outlines, and general benefits of the projects to society as a whole. To track population movements.

I don't know if their results are applicable in a personal, or specific sense.

Arredondo y Ruesga

Juan's son was Mateo who accompanied him. Juan was a widower. Could this be Mateo?
I have seen Hernando referred to as Fernando.

What archive did you search? Was this through google? Juan married the grand daughter of Alonso

Esther:

You ask: What archive did you search? Was this through google?

Do you mean for the records? All pasajeros a Indias records are available online through Archivos Espanoles en Red. The link is in the links section.

As far as the map of where Arredondo and Ruesga are in Spain, I looked at Michellin Maps online:

http://www.viamichelin.com

You can choose Spain and then simply type Ruesga in the city name field.

Here's a message Hope wanted to share with the group:

I so enjoy what everyone has to say and feel a connection to everyone
so... ..........I hope its ok to send this to you,hopfuly to share with

More Arredondo-Zavala

Arturo,

Thanks, this looks promising. There is one film for the town for years before their departure. I will check it out.

IT was initesting!

Thank you again. What did you do to find the record?

Comments

Comment

Esther:

The easiest way to find a passenger is to simply put in their last name in one search field, add another search field and type in the word "PASAJERO". That will bring up both licensias and passenger lists that have that name. This was easy enough with a name as rare as ARREDONDO. Obviously once you get to more common surnames, you would get hundreds of hits so you have to narrow down more. You can then either add yet a third field and add the first name or instead of using just their last name, type their whole name in quotes, i.e. "Juan de Arredondo." This last method is problematic because the match has to be exact. If you leave out the "de" or the name is "Joan" and not "Juan" nothing will come up. Of course you can try every variation possible as it will probably not take longer than having to go through thousands of records.

Unfortunately, the date fields have never worked for me so you have to sift through hundreds of years worth of data.

Another tip... when the scan of the record is available, click on the red version of the camera. While you are not supposed to be able to right-click to save or print, if you are using Firefox, the code they have put into the page does not work and you will get an error message, but Firefox will let you save the image nevertheless. That is how I got yours.

Babel Fish Translator

Joseph,

I am sending you the last message I sent you with a Babelfish translation. It took me a while to figure out the link for BabelFish. When I did a search for Babelfish.com all I kept getting was a language learning program. I kept searching for the translator engine link and I finally found it under AltaVista. Then I had to copy and paste my previous message to this new e-mail, save this e-mail as a draft, copy the English to the link, then copy and paste the translation back into the draft e-mail. This is a lot of rigamarole. What am I doing wrong now? I told you I am technically challenged. I hope someone who is Spanish-only speaking can understand the robotic translation, since there are some words in there I have never seen.

P?ginas en espa?ol

I don't mind reading and writing in Spanish on the list although I only consider myself conversant and not fluent. However, it drives me crazy to try to interpret all the words that have a "?" substituted for every accent mark, oomlaut, and tilde. Is there any way to have our program recognize Spanish symbols? Otherwise, I'd prefer to read Spanish without the marks.

We had this problem with the emails that the system was sending out as well. I imagine that it has something to do with the character system that your email is using to decode the messages but I believe there is a way to get the message to include a marker telling the email program what character system it is encoded in.

Can you just confirm that you are seeing the question marks in your email and not on the site itself.

Arturo,

I printed out the paragraph below that you typed in Spanish, and it printed out exactly as you typed it. However, I often print out things from other sites or e-mails that my printer garbles where there are n's with a tilde, or vowels with accent marks. I get little squares instead of those characters, and it is irritating. I tried changing my computer to Spanish language so that I wouldn't have to type a~no, etc. and so I could try to type in Spanish, but being technically challenged I failed.

Also, are we now required to translate our e-mails, etc.? I am not fluent in Spanish, and I have difficulty reading Spanish sometimes. Also, if Spanish-speaking people from Mexico are accessing and joining this group, isn't it obvious they can read English which is the language for the United States where this group started, even if they prefer to write their e-mails in Spanish? I don't mind them e-mailing in Spanish if they are more comfortable communicating in that language, but I am more comfortable e-mailing in English and I would prefer to be able to communicate in that language.

Comment

Emilie, et al:

By no means is anybody expecting anybody to write their emails in both languages. I imagine there are members that don't mind doing so and might even enjoy doing so (for short messages), but I believe that anyone who joined the group was aware that the majority of postings are in English.

The bilingual drive had more to do with getting the site functions to be bilingual and as I mentioned in an earlier message, there are online translation machines (even if they are bad as Deena points out) to translate messages if people absolutely cannot understand but I would argue against people putting their messages into those machines in order to translate them and post the garble that comes out. While it may be fine to get an idea of what a posting says, the quality is not good enough to be publishing anywhere, including on this site (in my humble opinion). I think people would rather read the English and struggle on their own to translate it.

I imagine there will be more postings in Spanish now that we have more people from Mexico in the group, but I also imagine that a posting that they wish to have the broadest audience will be made in English. I also imagine that postings targeted at our Mexican members might be made in Spanish by those residing in the U.S. and Canada.

There are plenty of bilingual people in the group who are willing to translate a message here or there when absolutely crucial, but otherwise, please keep posting as you always have.

Comment

Arturo,

Thanks. That is great to hear, that I can continue in English, and those from Mexico can continue in Spanish without always having to include a translation. We had a member in Mexico City that wrote in what I call highly-educated proper Spanish, and I understood the gist of it, and he also used a translator machine as a courtesy, and I appreciated that for the parts that were over my head.

When I contact a member privately that I know is Spanish-only speaking, I do try to include a crude little translation of my own, with apologies for my "pocho" Spanish, but I think generally for a group we should be able to e-mail in the language in which we are more comfortable.

I think it is great that people from Mexico joined; we can learn more from them, I think, than they can from us, since they are right there. Lucky are those American members who were born in Mexico or those American born who were able to retain their culture and language. I think their lives are richer for it.

Joseph,

I guess when I am responding to a message sent to the group from Mexico where the member has typed it in Spanish, I could try to use the translation program to respond. However, I am so technically challenged; I wouldn't begin to know how to use Babelfish. Can you explain how to use it in conjunction with the Nuestros Ranchos e-mails? I just thought it would be easier to continue as we have, some writing in Spanish since it is easier for them, and some writing in English since it is easier for them. We seem to have been understanding each other so far. I am concerned about those members who don't even understand written Spanish, but I guess the Babelfish will take care of that, although it sounds like a robot talking.

Thank you for that information. I do not think this is the same Franisco PINEDO, however. When Francisco PINEDO appears in Tlaltenango, he already had some children and the ones that are born there are born around 1710 so that means he must have been born circa 1680.

The Francisco PINEDO below, as best I can tell was born circa 1770 if he had a granddaughter bron in 1817... almost a hundred years later. Please tell me if I am reading the record incorrectly.

That is VERY helpful. Thank you!

We are not Tigua, only closely associated with them on a spiritual, and emotional level. Grandpa and the Chief were virtually inseperable. As close as two human beings could be.

So that is quite possible that our family was asked to leave reservation property. I had never heard that, but it makes sense. And my grandfather probably died shortly afterwards.

My father is now buried on reservation land. He was interred with full tibal honors. He declined a traditional Christian ceremony. I gave my sister a third of his ashes, and I spread a third at the Mexican-American Veteran's Memorial here in Los Angeles on Indiana by Evergreen Cemetery, and my nephew (the one with the Mongolian blue spot!) took the last third with his Native American wife for an Indian burial with dancing, and banging drums...

I would have gone with them, if I had known. I was only told afterwards. But my father got the funeral he always dreamed of. One befitting his Moctezuma descent thru my gggrandmother Maria Silvestra Romo.

I heard from Marta Estrada today as well. She tells me the Libary/Geneaological Society "might" open in their new quarters in September! They keep pushing back the date.

Marta tells me they have quite a collection on the Tiguas.

> Alicia and Pat:

The Juana Delgadillo entry you quote for Capitulo 13, Pagina 44 is
the daughter of Diego Delgadillo and Petrona de Yslas. You lost the context
because you only quoted the excerpt from the one page and didn't follow it
back to the parents. If you look in the same chapter at the end of
the first paragraph on page forty it reads: "De este matrimonio se han
documentado los siguientes dieciocho vástagos:" Then, the eighteen children
a-q (including the ñ, but not the ch) are named; with two Juanas being
children of that couple l (wife of Lorenzo) and o (christened 27 Dec 1683 en
Nochistlan--you missed this one). Jose Luis Vazquez also names three Juans
as children of this couple on pages 42-43. Juan Delgadillo, Juan de
Renteria and Juan Delgado de Yslas. I did not enter all the names in my
database because I found some errors in the book. For example on page 42:
Josephe Juarez is said to have been christened in 1660. Josephe's mother
(my ancestress) Thomassa Delgadillo was christened in 1657--she would've
been 3 years old at the time her son was christened? It was probably just a
typo, but I opted not to enter anything that I couldn't cross-reference in
the IGI as that would give me two sources. Not a fool-proof method, but
it's better than a single source.

Comment

Dear Ernie, Glad to hear from you, but this Silvia does not know what she is talking about "Perjuin" dying a long time ago, he was still alive and chief this year when my sister Gloria and I went to El Paso. He was very much alive and in a wheel chair. None of the Alderetes have ever lived in a reservation, we were the closest to them, and at the time, they were not even on a reservation, since they were not recognized as a true tribe then. The indians lived across the irrigation canal, and we lived on the other side.

I was going to write you and ask you for the lab's address for the DNA testing. My brother Joe is in the U.S. now, in Salem, Oregon, and they go visit my daughter Pam in Oceanside. I will get the DNA kit to my daughter and she can get him to take it.

I got the message:)

Thank you. I'm glad to do whatever I can.

I'm good at digging. I recently found my ggrandparents on both sides at the same cemetery.

I searched Calvary Cemetery for years looking for Maria Silvestra Romo. I finally found her, they had sold her plot to someone else, put another marker over her grave. I guess no one had visited it in so many years they thought no one cared. But at least I was able to resolve the puzzle. And leave her some flowers. A woman who died almost 20 years before I was born, but made my life possible.

Many movies are filmed at Evergreen Cemetery. If you've seen Heaven Can Wait with Warren Beatty, parts were filmed there. I know, I was there leaving flowers for my great grand mother Antonia Gonzales, while the actors and crew were there.

Cemeteries were much more important in years past. They were like parks. My father told me he had picnics at Evergreen Cemetery with my great grandmother. He would play for hours there. Pretend he was a pirate. He said the Japanese graves had fake samarai swords he played with...

I know the grounds very well.

Ernie,

Yes, how very gracious of you to offer to take even photos of a grave we couldn't see otherwise.

My husband's great-grandfather, Simon Garcia, born in Jalisco in 1864, died in Los Angeles on May 14, 1930 and was buried at the Calvary Cemetery on May 16, 1930. When I wrote to the Archidiocese there, all I got was a simple statement that he was buried in their Calvary Cemetery on Whittier Blvd. in Grave #123, Lot 13, Sect-K.

It would be great if you could get a photo of this grave for my husband.

Thank you,

Emilie Garcia

I found a way to beat the heat wave. Spend the morning at Calvary Cemetery! I got soaked from head, to foot by the sprinklers!

Simon and Francisca Garcia are at rest in a beautiful spot in the shadow of Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe Church, which is just outside the cemetery grounds.
There’s a lovely tree near their grave at the northern edge of Calvary.

The cemetery is one of the best maintained in Los Angeles. And the head groundskeeper, Hilario, said he’ll take special care of this one for you. He takes care of my family’s graves.

My paternal great, great grandmother, Maria Silvestra Romo, is buried near your family. She was killed just beyond their grave. She was run over by a low rider as she was crossing the street in 1935 to go to Guadalupe Church. She was so short, he didn’t even see her. She made the 14 stations of the cross every day, each station at a different church.

My maternal great, great grandfather is also nearbye.

Rules for using Hispanic surnames? Reglas para los apellidos hispanos.

Gilbert Paez here. First of all, thank you for letting me part this group. I am working my way through the various areas of the website. It is Great!
My question: Could someone help me with the rules for the proper use of hispanic surnames? Example: My grandmother's maiden name was Romero and my grandfather's last name was Paez. Would my father be Paez Romero?

Gilbert:

As you get further back in time this convention disappears completely and is replaced by something that few if any people can explain. Back in the early 1700s and earlier, children were given surnames that were sometimes the paternal name, sometimes the maternal name, sometimes a combination thereof and sometimes neither parent's name but rather that of a grandparent or even an uncle or padrino.

One pattern I have noticed is that surnames tended to be passed on based on land inheritance and prestige so that if land was inherited from the mother's side it was more likely the sons would take the mother's name, especially since there were probably no male offspring to propogate the name if she had inherited the land. Another phenomenon was that if a child was named after a grandparent, they usually got the whole name, including surname so a daughter named for her grandmother Maria de Saucedo would also be named Maria de Saucedo even if her father's surname was Miramontes and her mother's surname was Haro.

Sometimes a name gets combined (maternal and paternal, i.e. Miramontes y Haro or locative and patrinomic, i.e. Lopez de Talamantes) and passed on it the composed form for multiple generations before someone finally decided to chop off one or the other...

Hola Gilbert,

En México el primer apellido es siempre el del padre y el segundo es el de
la madre. La excepción a esta regla es cuando una mujer se casa y adquiere
el apellido de su marido como segundo apellido ligado por la preposición
"de". Por ejemplo, en el caso de tu abuela materna, después de casarse ella
se convertiría en Romero de Paez.

In Mexico the paternal surname always comes first, followed by the maternal
surname. The exception to the rule is when a women marries and get's her
husband's surname joined by the "de" preposition. For example, your
maternal grandmother, after marrying, would have been Romero de Paez. And
you're right about your father's surnames: Paez Romero.

Saludos,

Victor

Arturo,

What a great option for all, to have the opportunity to learn from each other, both spanish and english speaking, aside from e-mail communication.

Que gran oportunidad para todos, poder compartir y recopilar informacion en ambas lenguas, español e ingles.

This site is one that brings much gratification, empowerment, knowledge, companionship, insight and kinship to many many people via cyberspace. Who could have imagined when I was growing up that I would have such close connections to people I have never met. For those of you who are younger and who grew up in the age of technology it is not something foreign. I used to have an elderly neighbor who when her husband passed away about 20 years ago and after she had been alone for for many years would say that she could no longer read the paper, not because she wasn't literate or couldn't see, she had been a teacher, but because much of the terminology was not something she could relate to.

Este sitio es trae mucha gratificacion, empoderamiento, sabiduria, acompañamiento, perspectiva, parentesco y afinidad via el espacio cybernetico. Quien se hubiese imaginado cuando yo era niña que fuera posible sentirme tan cerca a tantas personas que ni conozco. Para ustedes que son mucho mas jovenes y que se desarollaron en la epoca de tecnologia no es algo raro. Tuve una vecina anciana que cuando murio su esposo hace mas de 20 años y que despues de muchos años me decia, "no me es posible leer el periodico porque hay tanto que no entiendo" Esto no era porque no supiese leer puesto que fue profesora sino porque mucho del lenguaje no lo comprendia.

It was the high-tech age, talking of bytes and megabytes, e-mail, cache, semiconductors, mainframes, laptops, desktops, memory but not in the context she knew in terms of memory, bites, desktops and laptops and a many other words or phrases.

Era la epoca de bytes, megabytes, e-mail, cache, semiconductores, maniframes, laptops, memoria y otras frases y palabras pero no se usaban en el contexto que ella sabia sino que de manera ajena a su generacion.

I have gotten too wordy but I just wanted to thank you both for giving us the gift of your time, your talent and your wisdom.
Les quiero agradecer a Joseph y Arturo por el regalo que nos brindan con su sabiduria, talento y el tiempo que toman para mejorar la presentacion de informacion a este grupo de gentes que se interesan en la busca de sus ancestros y su historia.

Atentamente,

Romo & Rangel across Aguascalientes, Jalisco, Chihuahua, Nayarit and Sinaloa.

Dear cousins:

I just got this email from a gentleman in Aguascalientes who is researching our same lines. He must have run across my homepage. As I understand his message Diego Romo de Vivar ranged over a wider area than we anticipated, not extending his lifestyle to Hidalgo del Parral, Chihuahua alone, but reaching as far north in Nueva Biscaya as Villa Ahumada, which he founded.

The Romo de Vivar line, which fellow member Connie Dominguez has researched
extensively and posted seems to be of interest to many of us (my lines
descend from it as well). I had never heard of his excursion into Chihuahua
but it doesn't surprise me as my direct ancestor (which I'm "stuck" on)
Miguel de los Cobos also came from Aguascalientes to the Parral area in that
time frame.

I am new to the forum and am anxious to contribute some
documentation/research of value. I am physically located in Austin Texas
whihc has an extensive collection of film of the various Archivos at the
Univeristy of Texas. Despite being at the library many times I have never
mastered navigating thorugh those voluminous archives but if someone has
tips for me on how to do this I'd be very appreciative (is the Archivo de
Aguasclaientes located within another archive or is a seperate entity?) .

Hi. Welcome to the group! I have Cobos from Chihuahua in my maternal line. My sister, and I agreed long before we knew we had Cobos blood, that Cobos was our favorite Mexican name. I can’t say exactly why, except that it has a certain resonance.

Here is my Cobos legacy:

Maria Josefa Refugio Tiburcia Valeriana Robledo Cobos, born March 23 1834 in Hidalgo del Parral,
daughter of:
Jose Sirilo Robledo, born about 1808, and
Maria Petra Antonia del Rayo Cobos Serecedes, born October 1812, Jimernez, who were married on January 16, 1828 in Valle de Allende.
Her parents were:
Jose Mariano Pedro Cobos Aranda, born May 24, 1781 in Jimenez, and Trinidad Serecedes, born around 1792
His parents were;
Gregorio Mariano Cobos Talavera, born October 18, 1753 in Valle de Allende, and
Mariana Aranda, born around 1760, who were married March 2, 1778 in Jimenez.
I believe his parents were:
Raimundo Cobos and Manuela Talavera.

I’ve split my family into two separate homepages, so each one can hold more photos.

My maternal home page can be found at:
http://www.genealogy.com/users/a/l/d/Ernie-Alderete-Monterey-Park/
I’ve uploaded ten family pictures that date from the 1880s, and I think, portray a good slice of life in old time Chihuahua.

My maternal names include; Rodriguez, Monotya, Porras, Acosta, Vasquez, Cobos, Aranda, Robledo, Serecedes, Olguin, Caballero, Corral, Caro, Villalobos, Gallardo, Najera, Suares, Dominguez, Chaves, Talavera, and others.

My paternal homepage can now be found at:
http://www.genealogy.com/users/a/l/d/E-Alderete/

My paternal names include; Ramirez, Romo, Rangel, Gonzales, Moctezuma, Navarro, Lopez de Elizalde, Ruiz de Esparza, Perez, Hernandez, Revalear, Alderete, and others.

Well I'm not sure what film archives they have at the U of TX but at New
Mexico State University they have extensive films of the Diocesis of
Durango. (are these some of the films they have at U. of TX as well???).
If so maybe they have a finding aid similar to what NMSU offers. NMSU
has a CD for sale for less than $10 Finding Aids for this collection of
films. Even if U. of TX doesn't have that collection maybe they offer
various Finding Aids on what they do have.

I'd be interested in finding out what they own and what finding aids ara
available. Maybe if you look into this you can report back. You might
check with the special collections librarian there:

With regards to the Archivo de Aguascalientes I'm not sure exactly which
you are referring to, but films from Aguascalientes can be ordered and
viewed at your local Family History Centers in Austin:

The Romo de Vivar line, which fellow member Connie Dominguez has researched
extensively and posted seems to be of interest to many of us (my lines
descend from it as well). I had never heard of his excursion into Chihuahua
but it doesn't surprise me as my direct ancestor (which I'm "stuck" on)
Miguel de los Cobos also came from Aguascalientes to the Parral area in that
time frame.

I am new to the forum and am anxious to contribute some
documentation/research of value. I am physically located in Austin Texas
whihc has an extensive collection of film of the various Archivos at the
Univeristy of Texas. Despite being at the library many times I have never
mastered navigating thorugh those voluminous archives but if someone has
tips for me on how to do this I'd be very appreciative (is the Archivo de
Aguasclaientes located within another archive or is a seperate entity?) .

Reconocimiento.

Mi reconocimiento a la labor desarrollada por Arturo, Joseph y todos aquellos que hacen posible que exista "Nuestros Ranchos". Coincido totalmente con los conceptos vertidos por Alicia Carrillo. Finalmente, los idiomas, como las religiones o los partidos políticos no deben ser obstáculo para el entendimiento. Sin embargo "hablando el mismo idioma", podremos entendernos mejor. Saludos y enhorabuena.

Leticia,

Welcome to the group, I took a quick look at your GEDCOM file and we share alot of the same surnames Berumen, De La Torre, Nava, Sliva, Gonzales and possibly more. Will look at your file much closer to see what direct lines we may share.

Parents, many of the family tree are wrong. I am hoping one day write my own

I have created a PAF5 that contains over 1,000 names, if anyone is from
Municipio de Tepetongo Zac, I am more than willing to share my info.

At this time I have a couple of questions for anyone from this area, I am
stuck on two names, Pantaleona Carlos who history claims was married to a Rafael
Felix back in 1790, although there are many Rafael Felix I can't find any
concrete evidence they were married. I would really appreciate anyones help.

thank you very much

Leticia,

You had asked about two names you were stuck on: Rafael Felis married to a Panaleona Carlos. Since I am also researching my own Rafael Felis from the Tepetongo area (married to Maria Gregoria Soriano), I have transcribed some marriages from film # 0445236 Tepetongo Marriages 1816-1849. There is an entry in that film for February 5, 1842 when a Rafael Felis (who lived in La Estancia) age 23, married Dona Ana Josefa Berumen, age 17, also of La Estancia. Rafael's parents were Don Rafael Felis (defunto) and Dona Pantaleona Carlos. Ana Josefa's parents were Juan Jose Berumen and Maria Antonia de la Torre. Their padrinos were Francisco Felis and Maria del Rosario de la Torre. Other "testigos" were Lucio de Asevedo (of La Tinaja), Jorge Gonsales (of La Tinaja), Jesus de Nava (of Juanchorrey), and Don Marcial Mejia and Joaquin Castaneda.

In http://jerezzacatecas.galeon.com/archivo/paternidad/df.htm there is an entry for another Felis-Carlos union: "FELIX, Manuel,, espanol, originario, viudo ha un a~no de Maria Catalina Carlos.----en la iglesia parroquial de Jerez el 19 de abril de 1762 con Olalla Rosalia Folores, espanola, originaria y vecina de la villa de Jerez, e hija legitima de Antonio Flores y de Maria de la Candelaria de Silva, Padrinos: Augustin Felix y Marcela Guzman. Testigos: Marcos de los Reyes y Fermin de los Reyes". This Manuel Felix and Maria Catalina Carlos may have been related to your couple.

There were many Felis families around the communities attached to Tepetongo and Jerez, and mine are the "Felis y Tinajero" or "Felis de Tinajero". I think there are other Felis that went by "Felis y Arellano" or "Felis de Arellano".

I have run into your couple in another instance I think, and when I find more transcribed records on them I will let you know.

Leticia,

I belive we are related with our Gonzales and Berumen surnames. My gt gtgrandmother was Juana Maria Gonzales older sister to a Jose Lucas Gonzales you have in your files.How is he related to you? My Berumen starts with my ancestor Petra Serena Berumes(n). My information on my Gonzales, Zuniga, and Nava are in my file folder.

Arturo, thanks for the website it was very helpful unfortunate Pantaleona
Carlos (
b-1790 aprox )still missing in action.

also can you contact me on uploading my paf.

Welcome to the group. There are a number of us in the group that have
extensive family backgrounds in the southern Zacatecas/northern Jalisco area
that includes Tepetongo.

Just as a wild guess to help you with Pantaleona... the name Carlos in the
region originates with a Juan Carlos de Godoy who was born circa 1600 and
lived in Jerez, Zacatecas. He had several children with Maria Rosales. Some
of his descendants ended up with the name Carlos and others with Godoy...

Susana Leneski has documented the man's descendancy through marriage
dispensations very well. The Spanish families in Jerez in that time
intermarried a lot which leaves a lot of genealogical information behind from
the dispensations for cosanguinity.

http://www.ramosfamily.org/nextgen/getperson.php?personID=I97

If you would like to share all of the data that you have in your PAF, I would
be more than happy to help you convert it to GEDCOM and upload it to the site
GEDCOM database which would allow other members to view it, but not download
it. The database is only available to members.
