Onofre de Villabos

Hello Nuestros Ranchos Forum,

Does anyone have any information on Onofre de Villalobos that was married
to Isabel Carrillo? They were probly born around 1730.

Danny, the Onofre de Villalobos in the index that George mentioned is a different Onofre. The one that you are looking for was the son of Diego de Villalobos y Macías Valadez and Ana Jiménez Carrillo.

Jalpa, Zac. Octubre 9 de 1717.- Exp 97.- Dispensa de Banas.- Onofre de Villalobos, español de 36 anos de edad, vecino de la Estanzuela. Feligresia de Aguascalientes, hijo legitimo de Diego Villalobos, difunto y Ana Jimenez espanoles: con Isabel de Artega, de 24 anos de edad, hija legitima de Lazaro Vasquez y de Maria Carrillo, difunta, mulatos vecinos de la juridiccion de Jalpa.

This other dispensa that was found in the document that Mary Lou Montagna has thankfully shared is helpful with the ancestry of Ana Jiménez Carrillo.

Check the matrimonial investigation indices for Aguacalientes that I posted here at NR. They are in the Files, Reference Material area of NR. The indices go to about 1740, with a few later records that were included in the volumes dated abt 1740 and before.

Comment

Mr. Ricci,

thank you for the record, thats actually where i got their name from. but im trying to find out the parents of Onofre villalobos or Isabel Carrillo. I actually found the marriage of their daughter so I think Onofre de Villalobos an Isabel Carillo were born closer to the late 1690s.

¿Alguien tiene cupones adicionales de descuento para pruebas de ADN?

Hola Isabel,

Hay un montón de codigos de cupones de FTDNA en la página http://bit.ly/2gJfnKa Hicieron la página para poder compartir los cupones.

Si no lo has hecho espero que tambien vas a participar en el proyecto Nueva Galicia DNA en https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/nueva-galicia-dna/about/background Solo hay que hacer clic en join para cada persona que se va hacer una prueba de ADN.

Comment

Armando muchas gracias!!! Rdorigues De Frías me paso cupones y en una oportunidad me pongo a explorar la página para unirme al proyecto... A ver que tal nos va... estoy algo nerviosa :D

Comment

Isabel, muchas gracias por considerar unirte al proyecto. Por curiosidad ¿Cuales pruebas vas a comprar? En mi opinion es bastante divertido conocer el ADN de uno, la familia, los parientes, y la gente de la región sea microregión como Los Altos o macroregión como Aguas, Jalisco, y Zacatecas sin importar el tipo de prueba. Pero las que dan mas información son las mas fiables.

Comment

Armando, you've mentioned a Proyecto, what is it and to what end does it seek? Are both females and males included in the Proyecto? Thanks, sounds interesting.

Simona

Comment

Hello Simona. The project is so that we can see the Y-DNA and mtDNA results of different ancestors of ours. You can also join if you have had a Family Finder test but we haven't implemented a way to share the results of participants. It is also useful for people to see if a person has tested and doesn't have a match but sees that people with the same surname have been tested then their lineage is possibly from a different ancestor than the surname or ancestor that they have in their genealogy or the other way around or if the surname is not in the list there is a possibility that they are descendants of the first family in the region with the surname. The exact situation in the first two examples can be determined when enough distant cousins with documented ancestry have tested. That has already happened several times. There are still a lot of surnames that are investigated in this forum that are missing so we need as many people that are willing to participate to do so but there are also a lot of surnames that are in the project already. The project continues to grow a little at a time as people become aware of the project and as people get Y-DNA and mtDNA after initially only getting the Family Finder. There is also an Activity Feed where people can post messages and ask questions. Both females and males are included. Have you or your family members tested with FamilyTreeDNA?

Regards,
Armando

Comment

I have taken a test with ancestry.com (is this what you call familyfinder?). I would now like my brother to take the Y-DNA37 (cheapest). I am also thinking of doing the mtDNA.

Here is first reason, I have a 4th greatgrandfather named Domingo Lopes (padres no conocidos) married in Aguascalientes to Clara Antonia de Esparsa (Padres no conocidos)
when Domingo and Clara's daughter marries in 1778 she uses the full name Lopes de la Fuente y Nava.
Clara most likely is a Ruiz de Esparsa and then possibly not.

2nd reason, I have not been able to find the fountain of which my Rodriguez springs from. Rodriguez and Delgado's (I have as grandparents) have a history of marrying to each other's family. I just have not found Juan Manuel Rodriguez married to Petra Alonso married around 1779 possibly aguas or pinos.

So if I understand correctly, your project is to find matches of DNA with the surnames in the area of Jalisco, Zacatecas, Aguascalientes, Colima...?

So given the 2 scenarios above, (don't know much about the Y37 for males test just that it traces the males something that is only passed from male to male) would you be able to explain if these tests would be of good or great use? Thanks!

Comment

Simona,

Family Finder is the FamilyTreeDNA equivalent to the AncestryDNA autosomal DNA test. If you had the AncestryDNA v1 test (before May 15, 2016) you can do a $39 transfer to FTDNA. Try it for free before paying. https://www.familytreedna.com/AutosomalTransfer

The mtDNA test would be unlikely to resolve the issue that you mentioned but it tell you if your direct maternal line is Native American, European, Africa, or of another origin. You might even find matches that are significant but the likelihood is very low. The best one is the MT Full Sequence since it test the whole mtDNA.

With Y-DNA you have more of a chance of finding a match to someone with well documented ancestry if you test a male from the lineage that you mentioned. So your father, a male sibling, an uncle, or a close cousin would have to get the test. You can order the test and have it sent to the address of the tester if you don't live near them. Not everyone has matches though but as more people test the chances increase. We still need a lot of people to be tested. So we would be pleased if you were to participate.

You can order a test and join the project at the same time at https://www.familytreedna.com/group-join.aspx?Group=NuevaGaliciaDNA

Comment

Thanks so much for your answer as it makes clear what each test can and cannot do. I will ask a male of the family to do the test and hopefully join your project.

Hola a todos:

Encontré que mi abuela "Rita" Magdaleno cambió su nombre, en realidad se llamaba María Michaela.

Se bautizó el 12 de marzo de 1740 con el nombre de María Michaela.

Pues si que nos ayudas con la aclaración, pues en este caso, hay un error y además un cambio de nombre.

Así ya queda aclarado todo para mí y para los demás compañeros.

Supongo que San Cristóbal y Santa Bárbara son haciendas ¿En San Juan de los Lagos o en Encarnación de Díaz?

Hola Marcelina y amigos,

Estos dos lugares hoy pertenecen al Municipio de Encarnacion de Diaz. San Cristobal fue un puesto y Santa Barbara fue una hacienda con su propia capilla.

Gracias Austin:

Mi bisabuela Juana Cuellar Murguía (Lagos de Moreno 1876) no habló de su familia, ni siquiera sabía el nombre de sus padres, así que para nosotros era un misterio. Se casó en la ciudad de Guanajuato hacia 1900.

Sus padres vivían en la Hacienda de Cajas, y sus antepasados en la Hacienda Santa Bárbara, El Mesón, el Río de los Sauces, etc. He llegado a encontrar a las familias Macías Valadés, Infante, Gabay... lo cual ha sido una verdadera sorpresa. Pero lo más sorprendente de todo es que varias personas de mi familia incluyéndome nos parecemos a otras personas Macías Valadés.

Estoy utilizando el sobrenombre de mi abuela 6a. Marcelina Macías como un homenaje a quien posiblemente me heredó sus rasgos. Ya estoy corrigiendo mi árbol, puedes verlo en Geneanet bajo el nombre mfabiola, con los datos sobre Rita y Rafael.

A Branch of Caldera from Jerez= Sanchez-Castellanos

According to DNA study a person who is descendent directlly to Maria Cid Caldera and Miguel Caldera matched with my DNA the Sanchez-Castellanos.

Comment

Hello Juan,

That's the beauty of Y-DNA testing. It can provide people with a more solid hypothesis than pure documentation. Thank you so much for publicly sharing the information about the matching.

BigY testing along with a YFull analysis for both of you would provide a TMRCA such as many that are found at https://www.yfull.com/tree/R-DF27/ Notice that some are as recent as 50 years ago and some 350 years ago and so on. Unfortunately Alex Williamson doesn't do that for his tree but his service is free. The cost of the YFull analysis is very small, compared to the BigY, in return for a TMRCA.

I hope that your match can afford the BigY and is interested in a BigY test. It is on sale and there are $75 off coupons at http://bit.ly/2gJfnKa

Also if more descendants of Nicolas Caldera and Clara Cid Caldera, but from different branches than the one your match descends from, were to get a Y67 or Y111 test and match the two of you then it would solidify the common ancestry of everyone that matches.

Saludos,
Armando

Italian Ancestry in Jalisco

My mother's DNA results came in and I was in utter shock to see her results.

Comments

Comment

Research on Italian ancestors of some Nueva Galicia founders.

Four Italian lines that I have done a lot of research on are through my Villaseñor-Orosco- Cervantes line, Lomellieni line, Estrada-Gutierrez-Bocanegra line, and De La Torre-Ledesma line.

There are a couple of other Italian lines that I have researched like the Perestrello (Pallestrelli) and the Spinola that I haven't proven.

I believe the Peres-franco de Paredes may descend from the Perestrello (Pallestrelli) family.
I also have not proved which Luis Lomelin Spinola is my ancestor so I have collected information on both Spinola branches.

Although it is correct that Aragon did own parts of what is now Italy, there was also a lot of movement/interaction between France and Aragon. A prime Example of a family living in both Aragon and France are the Fernandez de Hijar Sanchez ancestors that I have proposed as Toribio Hernandez Hijar Arellano Sanchez's paternal ancestors.

Rick A. Ricci

Comment

I think what is getting lost in many of these posts is that there were not enough Italian ancestors in Los Altos de Jalisco, or the environs, for an amount of 33% Italian/Greek to be real. Even full Italians don't get 100% Italian DNA in a lot of DNA tests. DNA divides on average about 50% so for a person to really have 33% Italian/Greek they would have to have more than 33% of their genealogical tree with Italian ancestors so the Italian DNA wouldn't get lost in the over the many generations and instead would just recombine. The documented ancestry of the people of the region and the DNA of the people from the region that have tested doesn't support such a large amount of Italian DNA. The 23andme ethnicity calculator is normally much closer to the documented ancestry when looking at autosomal DNA. FTDNA is much better for Y-DNA, mtDNA, and is also useful for finding additional matches from autosomal DNA.

Comment

An example of what Armando states about an Italian not coming up hundred per cent Italian is the Lomellini. Even though I gave traced the Lomellini in Italy for many centuries, they would not show up as a hundred percent Italian as I have found that they also have French, German, and even Iberian roots way, way back.

The Villaseñor-Orosco-Cervantes line is an Iberian line that does have Italian ancestors that go way back, but also include North African and middle eastern ancestry.

Armando stated that parents give an "average of fifty per cent". His statement is true but most people don't understand the implications of an average of DNA contribution. One parent can give a higher percentage of their DNA than the other parent. It is not fifty-fifty, that is the average of data.

R.A. Ricci

Comment

It should be noted that the Crown of Aragon included large portions of Italy including Sicily and Naples. Under the marriage of Ferdinand and Isabella, Castile and Aragon were combined into one state now known as Spain. This should explain any Italian lineage you find in Mexico.

Comment

Last March as part of the group, *Nuevo Mundo Historical and Genealogical
Society of Silicon Valley*, I presented a Powerpoint presentation on this
topic, the first colonizers to the America's based solely on the book
mentioned below.

According to Peter Boyd Bowman's book titled Indice Biografico de Cuarenta
Mil Pobladores Españoles De America en el Siglo XVI, Tomo 1 - 1493-1519,
There were 44 Portuguese, 61 Italians, 36 of other origins, most of these
were mariners and merchants. Those who were Italian were mostly from Genoa,
although most of them resided in Sevilla. Most of these arrived and settled
in the Dominican Republic, although some returned to Spain. Genoa at the
time, was known as the center of ship building and sea merchants in the
Iberian Peninsula, therefore it also produced the most mariners. Mariners
was not the same as sailors, those who were mariners and merchants usually
came from well educated, more prosperous families.

Of the first 5,481 colonizers who came to America from 1493-1519, the
majority were from Andalucia.
*These are all provinces within the Community of Andalucia - They were
called comunidades rather than states in España*
For every 6 colonizers, one was identified as a vecino, or neighbor of
Andalucia.
}Sevilla – 1,259 or 58%, Cordoba (180), Jaen (120)
}Huelva - 439 or 20%, Toledo (101), Cadiz (122)

*These provinces were not from Andalucia*
Salamanca (255), Burgos (63), Badajoz (440), Segovia (42) Avila (40)
To a smaller degree, Granada comprising Almeria, Granada and Malaga, 54 or
2.4%, although in 1493, Granada was still not considered part of España as
it was still under Muslim Rule, it was the last community to be conquered
from the Moorish Arabs.

*Among the merchants there were small groups from many of the larger
provinces such as Castilla La Vieja, Zamora, Salamanca, Toledo, Madrid,
Logroño, Valladolid, Segovia and Leon. Why so few? These were the more
educated persons who had either requested permission from King Ferdinand or
had been ordered to accompany Cristobal Colon on his 3 trips to America.*
*Genoveses were from the large Italian commercial families of Sevilla. The
Castellon, Grimaldo and Cataño** families.*milies.

Iberian Peninsula, therefore it also produced the most mariners. Mariners
was not the same as sailors, those who were mariners and merchants usually
came from well educated, more prosperous families.

Of the first 5,481 colonizers who came to America from 1493-1519, the
majority were from Andalucia.
*These are all provinces within the Community of Andalucia - They were
called comunidades rather than states in España*
For every 6 colonizers, one was identified as a vecino, or neighbor of
Andalucia.
}Sevilla – 1,259 or 58%, Cordoba (180), Jaen (120)
}Huelva - 439 or 20%, Toledo (101), Cadiz (122)

*These provinces were not from Andalucia*
Salamanca (255), Burgos (63), Badajoz (440), Segovia (42) Avila (40)
To a smaller degree, Granada comprising Almeria, Granada and Malaga, 54 or
2.4%, although in 1493, Granada was still not considered part of España as
it was still under Muslim Rule, it was the last community to be conquered
from the Moorish Arabs.

*Among the merchants there were small groups from many of the larger
provinces such as Castilla La Vieja, Zamora, Salamanca, Toledo, Madrid,
Logroño, Valladolid, Segovia and Leon. Why so few? These were the more
educated persons who had either requested permission from King Ferdinand or
had been ordered to accompany Cristobal Colon on his 3 trips to America.*
*Genoveses were from the large Italian commercial families of Sevilla. The
Castellon, Grimaldo and Cataño** families.*milies.

My views are are not scientific but deduction from the what I have seen and read. If you took your DNA test through Ancestry you will see all the people you match have very similar results. My family, Relatives and friends all were as astonished as you and I to see Italian/Greek. I read Ancestry's explanation of history why there is an admixed in Spain as well as in Italy/Greece. My cousins the Pedrozas matched to over 490 people with very similar results, as well as the Molinas, Antunas, Castellanos, Rodriguez/Lomelin, and Ruiz/Vargas. But my friend who is a Garcia Trevino from Nuevo Leon matched to over 2000 people, all with very similar DNA.

Published in 1925, La Raza Cósmica by Jose Vasconcelos The phrase derived by a movement that stated Americans have the blood of all the world's so-called “races”: European, Asian-descended native Americans and Africans, thereby transcending the peoples of the "old world". While the entire phrase did not catch on, La Raza did.

Comment

Vanessa,

Almost everyone with ancestry from Mexico and Hispanics from U.S. Southwest get a lot of Italian/Greek in their AncestryDNA results. Not a lot of Spaniards and Portuguese have posted their AncestryDNA.

At 23andme Mexicans, including people from Jalisco, and Latin Americans get a lot of Iberian but only sometimes some Italian and no Greek which shows up as Balkan. If they do get Italian it is normally 3% or less but for Spaniards and Portuguese it is not uncommon for them to get 3% or more Italian and a very minute amount of Greek. So the Italian looks to be from more ancient ancestry that has persisted through the Iberian ancestry.

FTDNA myOrigins does not try to separate Iberian and Italian so Mexicans and other Latin Americans wouldn't see a difference there. However, Greeks get a lot of Asia Minor with FTDNA myOrigins but most Hispanics don't.

The Oracles in the Admixture calculators at www.gedmatch.com probably won't show Italian as a possible source of the DNA. You can try them and see what you get for your mother.

Since all three companies have very different results for people from Jalisco, Mexico, Latin America, and Iberia it is hard to tell which company is doing the best job especially when we can't see what other people around the world are getting at AncestryDNA. They all use some HGDP reference populations along with some proprietary datasets that they have created but haven't shared with the other companies or the public. AncestryDNA and 23andme have larger reference datasets than FTDNA myOrigins. Each company also uses their own methodology. 23andme has a proprietary program to phase the datasets before using them as a reference. 23andme has the additional ability to phase customers when a parent and a child have tested. That helps to reduce false positives. So if you were to test yourself and your mother at 23andme her results would be better than if you tested her there by yourself.

I have tested my mother, father and myself. My results are more similar to my father's in that I showed up as Amerindian and Iberian. Only 6% Italian appeared in my DNA.

I will be going to La Barca, Jalisco to test my mother's maternal and paternal uncles who are in their late 80s - early 90s during the Holidays. It is my estimation that my mother's maternal grandfather, a Villasenor, will have the Italian line as his mother and father were second cousins and I assume it is because of this that there is a large percentage of Italian genealogy in my mother's DNA. Also, I have messaged one of my cousins on ancestry.com who stems from one of my Villasenor lines and she had about 10-15% Italian ancestry.

I have transferred my DNA code from AncestryDNA to FTDNA and have seen some differences in ancestry from the two. I am wondering what you all think would be the best or most advantageous way of using my granduncles' DNA. Do you think using a different testing site would be better?

Thanks,
Vanessa

Dear Vanessa,

Many people from Los Altos de Jalisco will find some percentage of Italian blood, but it is usually in the single digits. You are correct that the Villaseñor Orosco Cervantes line is a contributor to Italian ancestry results. From this line I have traced a couple of Italian families for centuries in Italy. These families have provided some interesting stories.

Rick Ricci,

I have a sheet with the DNA results of 39 Spaniards and 16 Portuguese and almost all of them have Italian DNA. So it isn't just the people from Los Altos de Jalisco that will have Italian DNA.

In reply to by Armando

Comment

Dear Armando
I agree with you that there are many more. By my comment I meant that I have researched a couple of my Italian lines for many centuries in Italy, and their descendants in Los altos de Jalisco.

Thanks

Comment

Vanessa,

I wouldn't take the AncestryDNA results literally. Many people from Latin America get levels of Italian/Greek far above what they get at 23andme which is a much more accurate test. You have already seen differences between AncestryDNA and FTDNA. If you were to test yourself, your mother and your father at 23andme you would see even a bigger difference and more accurate results. 23andme has a $99 test just for ancestry at https://www.23andme.com/dna-ancestry/ That's the test I recommend that you get for you, your family, and your relatives.

Gedmatch has other calculators for free. Have you uploaded all of the kits to Gedmatch? Try going to Admixture (heritage) then select Eurogenes then Eurogenes K13 then click on Oracle-4 then look at 4 populations approximation. Does your mother get Italian in that result?

Hola a todos:

La Orden de San Juan de Jerusalén estuvo en muchos lugares del oriente medio y sus militares estuvieron en España y posteriormente en Nueva España y Nueva Galicia.

Una de las ramas principales es la de la familia Zúñiga (Stunicca) Duques de Béjar cuyo sobrino Iñigo Ortiz de Zúñiga se halló en la conquista de Nueva Galicia.

En ésta conquista estuvo también Don Hernando Pérez de Córdova y Bocanegra (Fernández de Córdoba), un siciliano de apelido Rosso.

La familia Ramírez de Coy tan extendida en Nueva Galicia desciende de los Spínola y los Doria de Génova y los Bravo de Sicilia.

Otra familia italiana muy generalizada es la familia Estrada.

Hay los apellido Rodas, Griego, Martin (Pinzón), Sandi, de origen griego y otros como los Calvo, genoveses.

Tengo alguna información de estas familias, pues en Querétaro hubo varias de origen genovés, siciliano, griego... depende de los ancestros de la madre de Vanessa.

Saludos

Marcelina

Comment

Marcelia (o alguien mas que sabe de esta familia) perdone que te escribo lo siquiente en English ya que no se mucho de escribir en Espanol. Have you come across any Paisano. My fourth great grandfather was Jacinto Paisano married to Maria Carmen Amalla around 1780 in San Luis Potosi, Mexico?

In reply to by sarod77

Comment

Hola Sarod:

Pues antes de estar en San Luis Potosí estaban en la Sierra de Pinos de Zacatecas:

Al revisar los apellidos al parecer originalmente eran Pisano o Pisana, posiblemente toponímicos de Pisa, Italia.

Hay una Familia de Domingo Pisana y María Francisca de Herrera con varios hijos bautizados en San Matías, Sierra de Pinos, Zacatecas pero tuvieron un hijo e Mexquitic en 1740 San Luis Potosí. Hubo además un Joseph Pisano y un Salvador Pisano. Pero no está el registro de bautizo de Jacinto.

En 1750 aparece un Domingo Paisano con María Mireles bautizando a María Antonia Abad en Mexquitic.

Jacinto viene a aparecer hasta 1774 cuando se casa en San Matías, Sierra de Pinos el día 30 de junio con María Carmen Nieto, que utilizó los apellidos Amaya y Baticoia.

Tuvieron sus hijos en Sierra de Pinos: María Gregoria se bautizó el 15 de mayo de 1783, Joseph Alexandro se bautizó el 25 de octubre de 1785.

Después la familia pasa a Salinas, San Luis Potosí como consta en el bautismo de María Dolores de Jesús nacida en Azogueros hija de Antonio Eduardo Herrera y María Rufina Paisano hija de Jacinto Paisano y María del Carmen.

Espero que te sirva esta información, ya que no tengo mucha información sobre las familias de Zacatecas, lo que te envío lo busqué en Familysearch.

Marcelina

Comment

Marcelina and Rick, Thank you so much for the valuable added information.

I had come across some records by the name pisano and felt they were the same but put off proving it as Maria Carmen o Carmel Nieto, o Amalla o Baticoia (this is truly new to me and a name I had not come across) was spinning my wheels. In the civil records of her son Rafael (3rd Grandfather) passing 11 May 1862 • San Luis Potosí, México, she is referred to as Maria Betancourt. I'll renew my search with those two new names.

Comment

Hola Sarod:

En la búsqueda de ayer vi un registro en que la familia realmente era Tiscareño y no Escareño, que al parecer es una deformación. Pero luego ya no pude encontrarlo.

Toma en cuenta esta variación porque varios compañeros ya tiene avances sobre la descendencia de Don Luis Tiscareño de Molina, uno de los genearcas de la región.

Saludos

Marcelina

Comment

Al principio de mi busqueda de Escareno note que hay muchas variaciones pero aun no puedo encontrar mi Juan Jose Tiscareno (LKC8-FDZ) ​casado con Michaela Rodriguez.
La problema de Juan Jose tiscareno es su mama. No se si el es de esta Ana Maria Tiscareno
(9Q3M-ZVC) ​hija de Joseph Tiscareno Huerta y Theresa Mendez o otra.

Son muchos los hijos pero no creo que son de ella aunque si tiene sus nombres. 33 anos de tener hijos.

Ya junte muchos tiscarenos pero no encuentro los datos de su matrimonio. Se que los tiscarenos estuvieron en aguascalientes, asientos, ags., jalisco y esta rama paso a Azogueros donde fueron varias familias que eran duenos y muchos de ellos eran familia desde mucho antes.

Thank you Marcelina for your help.
Simona

Comment

Hola Simona:

El primer registro en Salinas es el bautismo de José de los Ángeles Tiscareño, hijo de Bernardo Tiscareño, contiene imagen en la que se especifica que no se conocen los nombres de los abuelos paternos ni maternos.

"México, San Luis Potosí, registros parroquiales, 1586-1970", database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NNYX-TV4 : 27 July 2015), Jose de los Angeles Tiscareno, 1799.

La utilidad de éste registro es que indica que la familia estuvo en Salinas a fines del Siglo XVIII.

Será necesario buscar a ese Bernardo para saber de qué rama viene la familia.

Saludos

Marcelina

Comment

thank you Marcelina for your help. The following is info for Bernardo Tiscareno.

José de los Ángeles Tiscareño (Salinas, SLP 1799), hijo de Bernardo Tiscareño,

Bernardo Tiscareno Born possibly in Pinos or Charcas, SLP is hijo de Jose Toribio Tiscareno Mendez (1727)

Jose Toribio Tiscareno Mendez (Pinos, 1727) hijo de Joseph Tiscareno Huerta 07 Nov 1681 Ags.

Many of the records in Nuestro Padre Jesus, Salinas, SLP, Mexico either have "se ignoran los Padres" or No Saben, No conocidos but having found many of the marriages of these families in Salinas and having known parents, I can only guess that someone went to register who didn't know their names or the scribe somehow didn't ask or write it down.

Comment

Simona,

Yo soy pariente cercano de José de Tiscareño y Hurta y su mujer Teresa Méndez de Sotomayor e Infante quienes casaron el 22 de abril de 1720 en Sierra de Pinos. No tengo noticia de sus nietos, solamente sus hijos quienes debes conocer muy bien. A cuanto tu línea Tiscareño/Rodríguez, tu Juan José podría ser Juan José de los Reyes de Tiscareño y su mujer Teresa de Córdoba?

Daniel Méndez de Torres y Camino

I have a question related to the Italian ancestry at the beginning of this thread. I did my AncestryDNA a couple years ago and never thought much of it but after seeing some of the others DNA it seems different from some of those posted here. All of my ancestry is from Mexico, although, not all of my ancestors are from Nueva Galicia. But, I'm wondering if someone can tell me if these results seem typical:

6% North African
1% African South Central Hunter Gatherers
19% Native American
6% East Asia
23% Iberian Peninsula
11% Europe West
11% Italy/Greece
6% Great Britain
3% Scandinavia
3% European Jewish
3% Ireland
8% Middle East

Paige

Comment

Hola Paige:

Posiblemente los ancestros más recientes que tienes son los nativo americano y los más antiguos son los africanos.

Supongo que sabes cuáles son tus raíces de la Península Ibérica.

Para conocer las otras raíces es necesario saber los lugares en los que estuvieron tus ancestros. Antes escribí una lista de los apellidos italianos más antiguos de Nueva Galicia. Conozco varias familias Villalobos con rasgos árabes. En tu presentación únicamente incluyes los apellidos Torres y Villalobos.

México tiene mucha diversidad étnica. Posiblemente tienes alguna idea acerca de los apellidos de tus ancestros y su origen.

Saludos

Marcelina

Dear Simona,

Marcelina has provided valuable information on this family. I am attaching a few threads to pick at to find more information on this family.
I believe that before San Luis Potosí and Zacatecas the family may have been in Guanajuato so include that state in your search for clues.

Need to decipher the name of this town,

Hello friends, I'm having trouble reading the name of this town. Each time, I google it, I can find anything. I honestly don't even know if it was in Nueva Galicia.

I don't think your Hostotipac refers to the current town of Hostotipaquillo. I have ancestors in and around Mascota and Guachinango, and some of them are also mentioned to be residing in "el real de Hostotipaque" with several spellings. I believe it may refer to the following location in the municipality of San Sebastian del Oeste, which is very close to Mascota:

Is there a difference between Ostotipaque and the town listed in the record "Ostotiquipaque"?

Like in my grandfather's village, they call it "Santiago De Pinos" but on some records, its called "Santiaguinto"

I found a PDF of book called "Historia de Orizaba", that make reference to various towns.

http://cdigital.dgb.uanl.mx/la/1080018209/1080018209_46.pdf

On page 4, the book reference the Pueblo of "Ostotiquipaque" twice, while on page 2, they refer to another town as "Ostoctipac". I believe "ostoctipac" is what later became Hostotipaquillo.

Unfortunately the book does not reference where "Ostotiquipaque" is. The town which the book is based on, Orizaba, is in Veracruz near the border of Puebla, where Danny says "Ostotiquipaque" might be.

Hola de nuevo:

En el Portal pares encontré lo siguiente:

Que hubo un general llamado Juan Ruiz de Contreras que tuvo a su cargo varias flotas, defendió Filipinas, Chile, etc. hay muchos registros sobre sus actividades militares. Luego pasó al Consejo de Indias y desde ahí controlaba la tesorería de Nueva Galicia, como se aprecia en el siguiente registro:

GUADALAJARA,230,L2, F181R-181V Año 1620

Fue sucedido por su hijo Fernando Ruiz de Contreras, como se aprecia en el siguiente registro:

MEXICO,38,N.8 Carta del Virrey Duque de Albuquerque

9.- Fernando Ruiz de Contreras miembro del Consejo de Guerra e Indias y Secretario de Estado y Despacho Universal sobre los 2000 que se han de entregar para gastos secretos de lo procedido del Servicio que Nicolás de Quiñones ha hecho por el oficio de tesorero en Guadalajara, Madrid 9-X-1653

10.- Razón de la Contaduría General de Indias sobre el pago de media anata y de la distribución del servicio de Nicolás de Quiñones ha hecho a Su Majestad por el oficio de tesorero de Guadalajara en Nueva Galicia.

De manera que esta familia tenía intereses políticos y económicos en Nueva Galicia,pudieron haber enviado a sus parientes y personas de confianza, pues el primer registro data de 1620 y el segundo de 1653.

Espero que te resulte interesante

Considerando que los descendientes de mi Diego Ruiz De Contreras pasarán todo el nombre "Ruiz De Contreras" a lo largo de las generaciones, no tengo duda de que soy descendiente de Anton Ruiz De Contreras, fundador de la familia Ruiz De Contreras. Los Juan Ruiz De Contreras y Fernando Ruiz De Contreras son descendientes de Anton Ruiz De Contreras. Tengo suficiente confianza para poner a Anton Ruiz De Contreras y su linaje en mi árbol genealógico. A través del abuelo de Anton, Sancho De Contreras, lo conecto con Fernán Sasa De Contreras, que fue el primer Contreras desde el año 900.

Anton nació en el último 1400s. Esto podría convertirlo en un gran tatarabuelo de Diego. Lo único que me falta es esa diferencia entre Diego y Anton.

Comment

Hola de nuevo:
Cre que tienes razón y tu ancestro Diego Ruiz e Contreras desciende de la familia de Toledo. La dificultad de ubicar a los descendientes de los militares es grande porque Diego pudo haber nacido en otro país, ya que Juan Ruiz de Contreras y su hijo Fernando estuvieron en Filipinas y en los demás virreinatos y luego en Madrid. Se me ocurren tres líneas de investigación:

1. Hacer un sumario de todas las reales Cédulas que hay en el Archivo General de Indias para hacer una estimación de la época en la que estuvieron en diversos países, por ejemplo en Filipinas y Guatemala. En el portal PARES puedes escribir Juan Ruiz de Contreras y te dará muchos Archivos relacionados.

2. Buscar algún grupo genealógico de Toledo y otro de Guatemala. Desafortunamente ya no existe Heraldaria.

3. Existen grupos interesados en historia militar de España, que van registrando los nombres de los militares.

Respecto del origen del apellido Contreras no estoy de acuerdo en que sea Contrebia de origen romano, significando un cruce de caminos, creo que tiene un significado sagrado significando el cruce de caminos entre el cielo y el inframundo de la cosmogonía caucásica.

Por cierto desciendo de la familia de Don Pedro de Alvarado y Contreras conquistador de México y de Guatemala.

Saludos

Comment

In comparing his letters this is what it looks like "ost_liquis poque" or Ost_tiqui (but I think the poque might be por que or pa que). In addition being that he at times spells as it sounds, it could begin with jost_tiquis poque.

I'll have to review the original that you sent a few days ago to compare more words although we know that he writes without clarity at times.

Hola. Lo que sé es que el nombre de mi antepasado más antiguo es Diego Ruiz De Contreras. Creo que nació en los primeros 1600s. En 1637 tuve una hija llamada Catalina en la ciudad de Guadalajara. Tenía a su hijo, Nicolás en el pueblo que estamos tratando de descifrar en el tema de arriba alrededor del año 1645. En la década de 1650, la familia se trasladó a Mascota, Jalisco. Muchos de sus descendientes en Mascota a lo largo de los años 1600 y 1700 mantuvieron el nombre "Ruiz De Contreras"

No sé nada antes de Diego Ruiz De Contreras. Espero que esta ciudad que estamos tratando de encontrar pueda tener pistas.

Comment

Hey Sarod. I think it says "Mada Luna y Tequila". Tequila is a town outside of Guadalajara where the drink originates from.

It makes sense because after maping out Mascota, Tequila and Cuquio, it looks like Nicolas slowly traveled from west to east. If he continued west, this could explain why there are "Ruiz De Contreras" in the neighboring Guanajuanto state.

Comment

it looks like Ostotiquipaque

This makes sense. Thanks Danny.

Do you know where this town is or was?

Comment

It seems that Ostotiquipaque is now Hostotipaquillo. Unfortunately, records don't go back that far into the 1600s

I believe Diego probably met his wife, who was from Mascota, in the city of Guadalajara. They then had a child in Guadalajara before going to Ostotiquipaque where Nicolas was born. Then they returned to Mascota.

Comment

Hola de nuevo:

Algunas familias establecidas en Colima luego fueron a Mascota, según recuerdo...

En el libro Andariegos y pobladores de Nueva Galicia, de Miguel Romero de Solís (online), se señalan varias familias de apellido Ruiz, una de ellas, la familia Ruiz de Vilches tuvo un tutor llamado Diego de Contreras.

Sería interesante revisar los lugares en los que estas familias recibieron tierras para saber si se encuentran relacionadas con la familia Ruiz de Contreras, yo conozco muy poco de los nombres antiguos de esa región.

Saludos

Marcelina

Comment

Revisé el libro. No creo que este sea mi Diego Ruiz De Contreras, pero es muy posible que Diego De Contreras, que era el tutor y el cuidador de los hijos menores de Pero Ruiz de Vilches y de María Ruiz de Monjaraz, Antepasado de mi Diego.

En el libro, dice que Diego De Contreras murió en 1595. Mi Diego Ruiz De Contreras vivió en Guadalajara en 1637 y luego vivió en Ostotiquipaque (Hostotipaquillo) hacia 1645.

Estoy buscando en el Sagrario Metropolitano De Guadalajara. Record "Bautismos, matrimonios, defunciones 1599-1634, y hasta ahora, no he encontrado ningún Ruiz De Contreras.

Encontré una pareja llamada Don Luis De Contreras y Leonor De Calderón y un par de nombres Diego Ruiz De Salamanca y Juana De Ahumada, que tuvieron hijos justo cuando Diego Ruiz De Contreras hubiera nacido.

Las familias establecidas en Colima se dedicaban al cultivo de cacao que vendían en otras ciudades.

Mi familia tenía huertas en Colima pero tenía casas para distribución de vino de Huelva en toda la Nueva España y en otros virreinatos, algunos miembros de la familia como llamados Ramírez de Alarcón vivieron en Colima y llevaban el cacao para España.

Si la familia era comerciante pudo haberse desplazado constantemente. ¿A qué se dedicaban los Ruiz de Contreras?

Comment

No sé qué hicieron, pero me refiero a Diego Ruiz De Contreras como "Don". ¿Don significó que usted era de un nivel social más alto o parte de la nobleza en el México colonial?

Sé que en España hay una rama de la familia Contreras conocida como "Ruiz De Contreras". Algunos de ellos se establecieron en Guatemala a principios de 1600. Uno de ellos, Juan Ruiz De Contreras, fue gobernador de Guatemala en 1629.

Tal vez Diego Ruiz De Contreras, que nació a principios de 1600, y vivió en Guadalajara en la década de 1630, está conectado a esta familia.

It occurred to me that another possibility is that Diego Jaime, listed as the father of Jorge, may have actually been a son of a Romo de Vivar. I've seen statistics that up to a quarter of the tests to establish paternity today come back negative.

Yes, that is a possibility that Diego Jaime, listed as the father of Jorge,
may have actually been a son of a Romo de Vivar. I had brought it up to
Luis outside of the thread. However, it is just as possible that Diego
Jaime in reality was Diego Romo de Vivar y Rangel Pequero. Since Jorge was
an hijo de padres no conocidos the surname was given to him arbitrarily.
Meaning the surname was probably not based on his supposed paternity.

As far as the statistic that up to a quarter of the tests to establish
paternity today come back negative.Those tests were done to begin with
because they weren't sure of the paternity so that automatically inflates
the negative tests as compared to the regular population that doesn't
question their paternity. I imagine that the mother of Jorge reported the
father to be Diego Romo but since the given surname was Jaime the testigos
in the dispensa and the scribe writing the dispensa were either confused or
didn't know.

So far all of the people with well documented ancestry to a known founder
have shown to have Y-DNA that matches other people with the same surname
that also have well documented ancestry. There is a case where a person had
an error in his documentation but once the documents were looked at and the
error found the DNA match with another family made sense.

Hello. My name is Amando Jayme and I am a relatively new member to the Nuestros Ranchos site and group. I am very excited to learn from others, contribute and possibly assist others with their research. I've been following some of the Nuestros Ranchos threads, specifically related to the Jorge Jaime of Aguascalientes exchanges.
Well, it's been approximately three years and we now know that Jorge Jaime is not a Romo de Vivar. Three Ydna tests from three different sons and descendant lines (including mine) do not match the Romo DNA. I match the other testers on the 37 marker Ydna test at genetic distances of 1 and 3. Ironically, one of the testers lives near me and is a descendant of Tadeo Antonio Jaime, the grandson of Jorge whose marriage record was the first known mention of Diego Jaime and Maria de Sandobal y Olibarri--Jorge's parents.
My quest is now to locate the Diego Jaime and possible descendants or ancestors. This might be a challenge since a couple of the prime candidates for the "real" Diego are priests or Order brothers. Here are four possible candidates. If anyone knows of family members/descendants or ancestors of these Diego Jaime's, please let me know:

1. Diego Jaime de Figueroa--Zacatecas, Notarial records from 1659 to 1678 http://www.nuestrosranchos.org/notary/view/letter/J

2. Diego Jaime de la Campa--Autlan, Jalisco, This one is interesting because the index from the Guadalajara Dispensa c. 1676 reads as follows: "151 diego jaimes de la campa - priesthood / autlan"

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-629C-QH?i=150&wc=3J43-HZS%…

3. Fray Diego Xaimes of Parroquia San Matias in Pinos, Zacatecas 1688. He is listed as the Guardian of the Convent on this baptism record. Image 64 of 749

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939N-B73Q-Z?i=63&wc=3PSM-RMS%3A…

"...18 noviembre 1688: Daniela Isabel que nacio a trece de octubre de dicho año y a quien ‘’in periculo mortis’’ bautizo legitamente en su casa el padre fray Diego Jaime Guardian de este convento de Sierra de Pinos de el cual me certifique haberlo hecho, es hija legitima de el capitán Alonso de Guzmán y dona Polonia de Castañeda, su esposa. Fue su padrino en el bautismo José de Guzmán y Tomasa de Carrión advertioles dicho personas el parentesco espiritual y le asistió en el catecismo dicha madrina y Antonio de Castañeda".

4. Fray Diego Jaimes Ricardo Villavicencio. Active in Puebla as a priest and author of "LUZ Y MÉTODO DE CONFESAR IDÓLATRAS Y DESTIERRO DE IDOLATRÍAS", published in Puebla in 1692. (Is he the same Diego as the one outlined in #3 above? Possibly).

In addition, there was another Fray Diego Jaime working as a missionary in Peru and Bolivia in 1677-1678...are any of these priests/Friars the same person? I am inclined to say that is a possibility. Finding DNA for a priest and/or his family will be extremely challenging to say the least.

Comment

Amando,

Jorge Jaime is an ancestor of mine from his son Florentino Jaime. is the theory that Diego Romo de Vivar that married Luisa de los Angeles is the actual father of Jorge Jaimes and abandoned him or is it that Diego Romo de Vivar that's married to Maria Rangel had a natural born child with a girl named Jaime and that child became Diego Jaime who married the Olibarri girl and then had Jorge Jaime. I'm not sure whats going on.

Danny C. Alonso

In reply to by dcalonso

Comment

Danny-Thanks for your question. Actually, none of your scenarios are true or the real picture. In short, Jorge Jaime is NOT a Romo de Vivar as previously suspected. Until DNA evidence from me and three other Jaime's entered the picture, all theories were speculation and mere guesses. DNA evidence from three Jaime descendants, including me, proved that the Romo de Vivar DNA entered a specific Jaime line in the early to mid-1800s--most likely with one son of Jose Maximo Jaime. I also descend from Jose Maximo Jaime but from a different son than the Jaime cousin who tested as a Romo de Vivar.
The Jaime Ydna at ftDNA was tested from descendants of three of Florentino's sons---Tadeo, Ignacio and Leonicio. All three of us matched which means Jorge is the son of Diego Jaime and Maria de Sandobal y Olibarri and not a Romo. It's complicated so I hope that makes sense. I have more potential testing prospects but since all current Jaime autosomal and Ydna leads back to Jorge Jaime and no one else, I strongly suspect Diego was either a priest or brother of an Order like the Franciscans or a very prominent individual in the region. The Ydna footprint is very narrow for Jorge Jaime and does not branch off to other Jaime families at this point in time. This fact alone leads me to believe that the Ydna footprint was very small, possibly isolated to one child, Jorge Jaime.
Hope this helps.
Amando

Amando,

in Sagrada Mitra de Guadalajara it says Diego Jaimes de la Campa is the son of Juan de Jaimes and Da Maria de la Campa:

Autlán. Jal. Marzo 17 de 1676 - Autos sobre fe de bautismo - Información sobre
el bautizo de Don Diego Jaimes de la Campa. Clérigo Diácono de este Obispado,
hijo legítimo de Juan de Jaimes y Doña María de la Campa, difuntos vecinos que
fueron del Pueblo de Autlan. Declaración de Antonio de Morales, de 45 años de
edad y vecino de este pueblo: Que el dicho Diego Jaimes de la Campa, anda en 26
años que cumplirá por noviembre de este presente año, porque se acuerda muy bien
que nació a 12 de Noviembre día de San Diego, el año de 50. porque luego el
siguiente do 51 por junio, nació Antonio de Morales, hijo de este testigo, como
consta de un librito en que tiene asentados este testigo los días en que
nacieron y se bautizaron sus hijos. En el Pueblo de Autlan en 3 de abril de
1676, se mandó auto de remisión para el Sr. Provisor...

Also I don't know if the other Diego Jaime's are the same as don Diego Jaime de la Campa, but Don Diego Jaime de la Campa was in Zacatecas. On one document he's listed as El Licenciado Don Diego Jaime de la Campa, lugarteniente de cura, vicario y juez eclesiástico del Valle de Santa Cruz (ahora Villanueva, Zac. ). En el año de 1677. He was also in Fresnillo, Zacatecas.

Danny C. Alonso

In reply to by dcalonso

Comment

Danny--Thank you for the follow-up. I have the two documents/articles you reference and am focused on the historical anthology outlined by Bernardo del Hoyo Calzada because of its great detail on Diego Jaime de la Campa's place within the de la Campa y Cos family, the Church, and the region. Also, this Diego would have been 19 years old if and/or when he fathered Jorge Jaime making the "prominent son who strayed a bit" theory more palatable. His original Autlan, Jalisco location for the priesthood "baptism", the placement of Jorge Jaime in a Franciscan monastery, and Diego's standing as a lawyer and eventual, near-secular ecclesiastical judge makes great sense in this potential scenario. In addition, this Diego could be the same Diego Jaime listed as the Guardian of the Convent in Pinos, Zacatecas in 1688. However, without hard-core paper connections and Ydna links, we are back to the speculation situation. My goal with this Diego Jaime is to locate a descendant of Diego's brother, cousin or uncle from the same Jaime line--assuming he had any of those. The key is locating more male descendants/relatives of Juan de Jaimes, this Diego's father.
On another note, the del Hoyo Calzada anthology/chronicle is an absolutely fascinating read!

Hola a todos:

Hace tiempo escuché que el apellido Jaime se refiere a los descendientes del Rey Jaime I de Aragón. ¿Será posible comparar los resultados con otros de España?

Resultaría interesante ya que dicho rey desciende de los emperadores de Bizancio.

Respecto del cambio de apellido de Romo a Jaime, creo que es posible que niño hubiera sido entregado a la familia Jaime para su crianza. Algunos hijos naturales se depositaban con personas de confianza y se les llegaba a dotar económicamente.

También hay una familia Jaime en Querétaro desde el siglo XVII incluso hay una calle de Jaime (actualmente Allende entre Arteaga y Pino Suarez) pero no localicé ningún Diego.

maybe mari sandoval olibarri was married to diego jaime and cheated on her husband with a man with the last name romo de vivar.

Comment

There are many dispensas with errors. We can't take as fact that Maria Sandoval Olibarri actually married a person named Diego Jaime. Has anyone ever found another document mentioning a Diego Jaime around 1669? Since Jorge was an hijo de padres no conocidos neither the mother or the father claimed the child at baptism. Since no one claimed the child at baptism the surname given to Jorge could have been for any number of reasons. Therefore, when the dispensa was made it could have been assumed that the surname should be Jaime but was actually another such as Romo. There are many too many events lacking documentation other than the dispensa.

I looked up the información matrimonial of Jorge Xaimes since many times the age is mentioned in it. At the bottom of the first paragraph on the left at https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-266-12123-157508-22?cc=1502404… in May 1694 he stated he was 25 years old giving a birthdate about 1669. That means the Diego Romo de Vivar that died in 1650 could not have been the father. The Diego Romo de Vivar born about 1630, married about 1655 to Luisa de los Ángeles de los Reyes, widowed Dec 1662, and buried 19 Dec 1691 is a good candidate for Diego "Jaime".

Hopefully in the near future the Big Y test from FTDNA will have an ability to determine which SNPs are shared by the descendants of the Romo branches and which are new. There is a new SNP every one to two generations. http://www.familytreedna.com/faq/answers.aspx?id=26#1383 So if the new Big Y test is able to identify which SNPs belonged to which branches then the Luis might be able to identify which branch he belongs to if enough people get the test. The only way they can compare SNPs is if multiple Romo descendants get the test. Around February the results will be posted for people that have had the Big Y test and that is when we will see what is really possible with the test since there are a lot of people that have purchased the test already. If it is proven to be reliable and the price goes down a lot it could end up being the only way to determine which branch he was from.

Armando

Comment

Thanks Armando. I took a look at Juan DELGADO's testimony for Jorge JAIME https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-266-12123-157508-22?cc=1502404… and couldn't find any mention of Jorge JAIME's age. On what line is it exactly on the lower left hand side? My eyes must be going.. :-(

So I guess that would leave us with:

  • Juan ROMO DE VIVAR (b. Abt. 1632)
  • Pedro ROMO DE VIVAR (b. 1632)
  • Diego ROMO DE VIVAR (b. Abt. 1630)
  • Geronimo ROMO DE VIVAR (?)
  • Francisco ROMO DE VIVAR (b.1644)

Now all I have to do is hit the lottery so I can take the Big Y test. :-P

Do you know of any other ROMO DE VIVAR descendants that have, or are taking the Big Y?

Comment

Hello Luis,

I had described the location as "At the bottom of the first paragraph on the left" The testimony of Juan Delgado is the second paragraph. If you look above that paragraph and look at the 3rd from the last line, or the 14th line from the top, you will see "ser de hedad de veinte y cinco años y no firmó por que dijo no saber firmolo su merced dicho señor vicario y juez ecclesiastico."

Maybe in a year they offer a big sale. First we need to see the results of other people that have tested to see how many SNP markers they find for people that have a common ancestor in the last 8-12 generations.

I haven't noticed or been told about any other Romo de Vivar descendants that have ordered the test.

Armando

Well done! I am also a descendant of Jorge, so this is interesting. Unfortunately, I do not get my Y-chromosome or my mtDNA from Aguascalientes, so neither would have been of any help to me.

No problem. My guess is that the first couple were the Paternal Grandparents; the second couple were the Maternal Grandparents and the third couple were the Padrinos.

Keep in mind that this is only a guess based on the fact that the word “padrinos” is clearly stated before the third couple.

And that the standard notation for paternal grandparents is “AP" and "AM "for maternal grandparents. Although the first letters are not legible their is definitely a “P" in front of the first couple and an “M" in front of the second couple.

Sometimes all we can get is an educated guess.

Hope this helps.

It states "la quarta echa a los circumstantes despues de haverlos examinado...etc." This is stated on the the records before and after Ramos so it seems like a routine phrase.

Introduction: Contreras of Santiago De Pinos, Jalisco

Algunas familias se asentaron tempranamente en Colima. Hay en línea un libro PDF llamado "andariegos y pobladores de nueva españa y nueva galicia s.xvi" de Miguel Romero de Solís, hay varias personas con el apellido Contreras.

Podrías revisarlo, está en orden alfabético. Espero te sirva.

Saludos

He finalice la búsqueda que pdf. Se señalan los miembros de la familia Contreras que vivió en la antigua provincia de Avalos en la Nueva Galicia, cerca del pueblo de Mascota.It hace que yo también podría ser un descendiente de Miguel De Contreras y Guevara.

He buscado a través de las despensas de Guadalajara y me pareció el registro de matrimonio de un Miguel De Contreras Sánchez, que es el hermano de mi antepasado Xptobal (Cristóbal) De Contreras Sánchez. Actualmente estoy pasando por este registro de matrimonio y con la esperanza de encontrar más pistas sobre mi linaje Contreras.

El registro es bastante difícil de traducir. Dice cosas como "tiene parentesco con ALGUNAS Familias nobles" y "emparentado con mucho Familias del".

Tengo enlace al registro de matrimonio aquí.

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-6554-D?i=184&wc=3J47-C68%3…

Esto es lo que sé ahora. Mis antepasados ​​más antiguos conocidos, Xptobal (Cristóbal) De Contreras y Catalina Sánchez eran residentes de Mascota y nacieron en algún momento a finales de 1600. Tuvieron dos hijos conocidos: Miguel De Contreras Sánchez y mi antepasado Xptobal (Cristóbal) De Contreras Sánchez, que nació alrededor de 1702. Más tarde se trasladó a Santiago de Pinos.

I have been looking for my 4th great grandfather Joseph Alvino Contreras whose children were born in Salinas, San Luis Potosi, but I don't know where they lived before, since they married into the Rodriguez Delgado in my maternal line, Rdz from Asientos, Aguascalientes and Delgado from Zacatecas. But Jalisco is nearby and the Contreras were in Abundance and married to everyone it seems.

So I looked at your dispensa de 3er Grado and though I am not great at these old records, I understood that all eligible men were related to her in Grado 4th and up and she was an orphan of a father and her mother had to leave a lot to the mines and she was taken care of by her stepfather Cayetano Peres who had 5 girls to take care of as well so she was poor though her many relatives did help they would not be able to take care of her forever so it would be in the best interest if they (Church) gave the dispensa so he (miguel Contreras) could take care of her.

Petrona de la Pena is related to Miguel de Contreras as follows:

Pedro Sanches + Catharina de Oliva They had two girls, francisca and maria sanches

Francisca had Juan de la Pena who had Petrona de la Pena

Maria had Catharina Sanchez who had Miguel de Contreras

In reply to by sarod77

Comment

So are Catharina Sanchez's parents are Francisco Sanchez and Maria Sanchez? Hopefully I can use this info to track down the name of her husband, Xptobal De Contreras's parents.

While searching the Guadalajara Dispensas marriage records, I found another son of Xptobal and Catharina Sanchez. This child is named Pedro De Contreras, who married Theresa de Amaral in 1732.

Says here that Xptobal is the first cousin of Theresa's mother, Juana De Garcia, through their mothers. Unfortunately, that doesn't give me a maiden name to attach to Xptobal De Contreras.

I feel that I'm so close to a break through. Does anyone else know of available records for Mascota, Jalisco that are earlier than 1750?

Comment

In answer to your question FRANCISCA (husband's name not mention) Sanchez had a child name juan de la pena. Juan de la Pena had the Bride Petrona de la Pena

Maria Sanchez (husband's name not mention had Catharina (husband name not mention but is known as Christoval de Contreras per your records as your ancestor) Catharina and Christoval had Miguel de Contreras.

Could you include the dispensa for Pedro de Contreras and Theresa de Amaral of 1732?
I checked for records and did not find any but maybe their dispensa has some info that might help.

Comment

L5BH-K46 this is record ID in www.familysearch.org. You can also use their names to locate record created with this information of dispensa that is attached. What is odd that there seems to be no records matching at all. They seem to be like those of San Luis Potosi where they have not been worked on. This could mean you will have to find records and add them from the record image since they have not been added. Maybe someone can help find out if the records of Mascota, Jalisco of the early years are located with another town and then if they have been indexed.

The Dispensa states that Theresa Amaral 18 yo Born abt 1714 is pregnant and that Pedro de Contreras 18 to 20 yo born abt 1712 (this is what priest wrote) promised her marriage and has not honored his proposal. She fears her father will kill (lo mata)(not susre if baby or Pedro) She has moved out of the house to the house of Don Thomas de Abalos so that her parents will not try to reach her with little notes as they (thomas and wife) won't allow it.​ Pedro de Contreras states he has not honored his proposal in fear of her father. The testigos are Don Manuel Fernandes de Lara 37yo, Pedro Rubio Feliz 60yo and Estevan Navarro 60 yo.

Only the names of the couples parents are given and only Estevan Navarro states they are children from sisters but no names.

Sister 1 married to Mr. Garcia has Juana Garcia (+Lorenso Amaral) who has Theresa Amaral

Sister 2 marries Mr. Contreras who has Christobal de Contreras (+Catharina Sanchez) who has Pedro de Contreras

Comment

Had no idea marriage records went into that much detail.
You don't happen to know how old Miguel De Contreras was in his record? Maybe by using all their ages, I can determine when Cristobal and Catarina got married.

I have my ancestor Cristobal De Contreras's marriage record to my grandmother (his 2nd marriage) if it helps.

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-5SSJ-MG?i=427&wc=3JXN-YWL%…

I'm gonna go through all of these microfilms this weekend. A lot of people from Mascota came to San Sebastian for marriage and baptism. Unfortunately there's a gap in the records around the early 1700s and late 1600s. If they're willing to travel that far, makes me think that they're probably wasn't a church until the 1800s in Mascota?

In reply to by ricardo.infante

Comment

In his IM it does not state he was married prior to this marriage. Christobal is 41 yo and his bride Gertrudis Casares is 18 yo. It also states he was originally from Mascota and is now a citizen of San Sebastian Martir, Encarnacion de Diaz, Jal. of 3 years. The age given is usually off a couple of years for females and sometimes up to 10 years for men (my experience only). His testigos are 50 yo, 49 yo and 36 yo. None of them mentions his prior marriage only that they knew him well and his parents.

His Brother Pedro has a birthdate of around 1712 and women usually had children up to 25 years if they married young (my experience only) All of this together would help you set a timeframe of birth for parents.

Comment

Thanks for your help. Ill let you know if I find more info when I search all the marriage records San Sebastian has available.

I had a question: Has all the guadalajara dispensas been indexed yet or is it still in progess? I found the marriage records of Pedro and Miguel via guadalajara dispensas Tumblr.

Btw based on your experience, how common is it for a son to name a child after his father or grandfather? I've seen that happen a lot in my tree. Makes me wonder whether Miguel or Pedro could be named after the father or grandfather of Xptobal De Contreras. IF that's the case, I'll make sure to save any records with those names.

Comment

You're Welcome

The following post is from someone much more knowledgeable about the Dispensas you can contact her about them.

By katy_brecht_quesada - Posted on 11 April 2016

sorry i haven't been updating it that often. there are three reasons for that: 1. i've been busier with college 2.i've been getting addicted(for a lack of a better word) to some fb games 3.i've been feeling less motivated to do them since i haven't been able to find new records there relevant to my family tree

but i haven't given up on them yet, but i'll probably continue to be inactive in regards of indexing this collection.
if you are interested in volunteering, feel free to message me.

In regards to the name, Yes, in my experience it happens very often and it becomes so complicated to unravel because priest had a difficult time keeping who was who and which wife belonged to which and then the children. I have an uncle named Miguel Contreras married to bacilia Delgado they have a son name Miguel Contreras whose son Pablo is attributed to Miguel Contreras I. I tried to have it corrected but Familysearch said that they would have to send the request to Mexico because it was a mistake made by the priest and who knows if they will change the record.

Comment

I found a record of a marriage in Mascota in the year of 1758. This is a marriage record of Gertrudis De Contreras and Pedro.

If I'm reading this right,they have 4th grade of consanguinity. Apparently it goes like this:

There are two legitimate sisters of the same parents: Maria De Contreras and Ysabel Garcia De Contreras.

Maria has a daughter named Rosa Maria De Robles. Rosa has a son name Antonio Briseno who has a son named Pedro Briseno, who is marrying Gertrudis de Contreras.

Ysabel Garcia De Contreras has a legitimate son named Xptobal De Contreras, my oldest ancestor. Xptobal has a son named Fausto who has a daughter name Gertrudis.

I'm certain this Xptobal De Contreras is the one married to Catarina Sanchez and fathered Miguel, Pedro, and my ancestor, Xptobal De Contreras Sanchez. The timeline would fit.

My only question is why did he inherit the Contreras name from his mother? Is it possible his father's name is also Contreras? So he'd be Cristobal De Contreras y Contreras? lol. Also she has the name Garcia before Contreras.

Soo many questions.

In reply to by ricardo.infante

Comment

Sounds like them! There are just a few questions I have but if you can provide the Dispensa, my questions can be better worded.

There was a thread before about how the people in Nueva Galicia (Mexico) would name their children. I Believe Ricci said something recently, but anyway, from my experience and deduction not proven, Surnames of both parents are used to their convenience. When looking for a person it is best to look under both names. Sometimes, because the priest did not give a father the last name so they went by the mother's surname (this happen most times if one of the parents was an Indian, Mestiso and even a Espanol and many times for women unless it was a very well connected family I read somewhere that a last name of the most prestigious surname was used as a calling card, a last name of the mother to preserve the prestigious family name and I'm sure the membership has many more reasons to add. In working backwards in time, we may not think someone with a certain name is part of the family because it is totally different from the rest. The names in the 1400 to 1600 had many compounded names usually a family name with the place they originated in Spain. With compounded names part of the name would be used if the family they married into was also a influential name such as Quijas de Escalante, Sifuentes de Aleman, Ruis de Esparsa, Fernandez de Palos, Gomes de Hermosillo and etc. So in the 1900 to 1700 you find one relative with Quijas and another with Escalante, one with ruis and another with esparsa etc. So confusing.

By the way I am a Rodriguez Rdz and I once worked with 2 other individuals who were lopez lopez and Garcia Garcia we sure confused alot of people that day.

The Garcia before Contreras is a mystery that happens often. many threads have this same question. Ex: There was a Francisca Gabadi who was godmother to a Francisca Tiscareno so Francisca becaame Francisca Gabadi Tiscareno but that whole name has shown up in many different interpretations. Then there is a relative who changed her name from one name to Ruiz de Villasenor. Primo Manny from this membership figured that out but that in itself is a Novel. Yet another, had a surname along with the regular name while all the other children did not. Try reading the 10 volume set available from a public library of Mariano Gonzales Leal and see the different names it may overwhelm anyone.

Comment

After going through the Guadalajara dispensas, this is what I have now. Now I couldn't find direct records but I was able to use marriage records of extended family members through the lines of Cristobal's brothers and sisters, who married people of consanguinity.

1. Xptobal De Contreras Sanches, born around 1702 in Mascota.

2. Xptobal De Contreras, who married Catarina Sanchez and was born around 1670.

3. Maria Ruis De Contreras Garciam who was born around 1640. Her first Husband is believed to
be named Antonio De Contreras. The only record I found that mentioned her husband labeled
him "Antonio De Aguilera". However it list his son as "Xptobal De Aguilera" who married
Catarina Sanchez. This is from a record of two people getting married with 5th degree
consanguinity. The Aguilera name is probably just an error.

4. Diego Ruis De Contreras, who married Petrona Garcia. Diego Ruis De Contreras was probably
born around 1620.

Going back to what you said about the prestige names, all of Diego Ruis De Contreras's children took the name "Ruiz De Contreras". Up to about 5 generations on some lines. His daughter, Ysabel is sometimes noted as either using Ruiz or her mom's name of Garcia. On one of trees of consanguinity, they also refer to Diego Ruis De Contreras as "Don".

Here's a screenshot:
http://i.imgur.com/gf0NI8a.png

I guess that means he was either a land owner or part of the nobility in Nueva Galicia.

If he was born around 1620, I feel that the my first Spanish Contreras ancestor is probably within two or three generations from where I am. I'm gonna go through the Dispensas and start looking at the nearby towns near Mascota.

Comment

When I entered petrona garcia and Diego ruis de Contreras a daughter matched with a birthdate 10 MAY 1637 Sagrario Metropolitano,Guadalajara,Jalisco,Mexico. So Diego had to be born sooner abt 1610-15.

Comment

I saw the record. Timeline wise, it would totally fit but I find it odd that he's only referred to as Diego De Ruis with no mention of Contreras. I also should note, Diego did have a daughter name Catalina so its likely its him.

I also feel weird about the record that refers to Maria Ruis De Contreras's first husband as Antonio De Aguilera and also refers Xptobal De Contreras as "Xptobal De Aguilera".Aguilera must either be an error or Antonio's maternal name.

Am I suppose to be Ricardo Aguilera instead of Ricardo Contreras? Even if I did inherit Contreras from Maria, according to the record you showed me, idk whether Contreras or Ruis is the right paternal name of Diego. This is like an identity crisis.

Antonio De Aguilera

I reviewed the dispensa. They seem like the same people except for those small variations. I have had many similar finds only to find out they were two separate families. Sisters, Brothers, Cousins, whom marry at the same time and name their children the same name and worst, marry a similar name person making it almost impossible in getting it straight. Only by starting at the beginning of your line, going backwards and confirming each person is the right person until you find the knot you need to unravel of who is who (what I have done other members may have a different or better method)

On your dispensa it mentions he is now a citizen of la Palma. I have family there as well just havent found them, but mi Mama, who has been 99% correct in all she said of her family told me that so and so is from la Palma where some records are included in Salinas del Penon Blanco (later Salinas de Hidalgo changed when Dolores Hidalgo passed through there). The church records started in 1799 when Nuestro Padre Jesus Church was founded.

IDENTITY CRISIS; I found on the paternal side that my grandfather x3 was really named Guanajuato and his wife peres and then to add humor to the situation he was born of the same name twin. It even is more complicated as the story unfolds with each new record found. So my dad should have been guanajuato instead of rdz peres.
Then there are the Rodriguez who are also known as the Haro, Jara,
And from Dictionario Biographico de Antiguos Pobladores de 1592-1666 by Rafael Morales Bocardo I found that one of the first pobladores was named Baltazar de Villanueva Sandoval de Torrijos, Spain 1579 (both names are part of my paternal side except they are different ramas). And there are many more instances where the names get more complicated.

Comment

So your ancestor took the name Rodriguez Perez from his mother probably because it was more note worthy and prestiges than Guanajuato?

I guess that would be the reason Xptobal and his siblings took Contreras instead of Aguilera. However I find it odd that I havent found one record with him as "Ruiz De Contreras" while his cousins did inherit the name from his uncle.

I'm gonna try to find one more record that mentions "Antonio De Aguilera" before I confirm this. I just have doubts because this is from a 5th degree consanguinity from the maternal side of Groom.

Comment

Hello Ricardo and primos!
I've done some research on the Contreras lastname because i have some Godó friends with that apellido. Their branch lived mainly in Guanajuato but I think it is very likely that they are related yo those of Mascota because in some generations they also used the complete Ruíz de Contreras Form.
About your concern over being an Aguilera or a Contreras I must tell you that back at that time if a couple had -say- five children it wasn't uncommon that all five were called by different lastnames! There was a lot of liberty about that, the only limitación was that some one of the ancestors in any past generation used the lastname.
For instance I found in PARES-Casa de la contratacion- the récord of Cristóbal de la Rosa a Nueva España" ahí dice que es escribano público, natural de Cazalla, hijo de Juan y de María DE RUAN... y que le acompaña su hijo Diego Antonio DE CONTRERAS!...

In Google books I saw an excerpt of the book "Sagrada Mitra de Guadalajara... " by Mrs. Hilton, that shows the following : "... Diego Ruíz de 24 años de edad, natural del pueblo de Mascota, hijo NATURAL de Diego Ruíz de Contreras "el mozo"... "

Comment

Hey I found the record you mention on the Dispensa.

Diego Ruiz is the son of Diego Ruiz De Contreras, who is the son of Diego Ruiz De Contreras.

lol let me clarify.

Don Diego Ruiz De Contreras, my oldest known ancestor whom I'm currently looking to find his parents, married Petrona Garcia and had two kids. One was Maria Ruiz De Contreras and the other was Diego Ruiz De Contreras II. Diego Ruiz De Contreras II's son, Diego Ruiz, married Josepha Contreras, who's the granddaughter of Maria Ruiz De Contreras. Maria is the mother of Cristobal De Contreras.

The amount of Consanguinity in my family is too damn high. Even to this day, my grandparents were 2nd cousins.

In reply to by ricardo.infante

Comment

Is the dispensa for the following person diego ruiz de 24 anos whose father is Diego Ruiz de Contreras "el Mozo?" If so did it mention who the mother was? Sometimes the Father is is the only one listed while the mother is not mention to protect her identity and reputation of the family, etc.

Diego Ruíz de 24 años de edad, natural del pueblo de Mascota, hijo NATURAL de Diego Ruíz de Contreras "el mozo".

1. Diego Ruiz de Contreras (not married to mother) + Unknown mother
2. Diego Ruiz married Patrona Garcia who are the parents of
3. Maria Ruiz de Contreras who had Cristobal de Contreras
Diego Ruiz de Contreras had
4. Diego Ruiz married to Josepha Contreras

There are other threads where members have stated the same. Someone stated very well sometime ago on this forum. I can only add that Espanol married Espanol to keep the the door of opportunity open in nueva galacia and only available to an Espanol (there was cleansing of blood, and bogus pedigrees), and to keep money, power and property within the family. The first pobladores selection of a mate was sparse, but notice how many of the women had 10-15 children, etc... What was a revelation for me that the Church allowed for these marriages to happen even having a system of degrees for uncle/niece, and more!!!

Comment

This is the record. I think his mom's name is Catharina Carabajal, a free mulato.
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-6LXK-Q?i=92&wc=3J43-DPX%3A…

Says in the record that Diego Ruiz De Contreras was the brother of Maria Ruiz De Contreras. This makes the relationship go like this:
Diego Ruiz De Contreras > Maria Ruiz De Contreras > Xptobal De Contreras > Josefa Contreras
Diego Ruiz De Contreras > Diego Ruiz De Contreras > Diego Ruiz De Contreras > Diego Ruiz

But it also refers to Diego Ruiz's father Diego Ruiz De Contreras, as Xptobal's Sobrino.

As for keeping the bloodline pure. When I went to Santiago De Pinos, two years ago, I stayed in San Sebastian Del Oeste, which is the capital of the municipality where Santiago de Pinos is. While there, I learn that the three most important families in town, Encarnancion, Sanchez and another family I forgot the name of, made a pact right around when Mexico gain independence, to intermarry with each other to maintain the Spanish Blood. Unfortunately, this practice left the Encarnancion branch basically extinct because the last member is a woman with only one daughter. The last Encarnancion daughter has a small museum of artifacts relating to her family and Nueva Galicia called museo dona conchita. Stuff like photos from the 1800s of family members to documents and other items from Spain.

Here's a photo of the place.

You are quite lucky to have someone in the family who saved all those wonderful items of your families past. I noticed the red miners hats. I love those kinds of pictures. No one in my family really put things together of their families and it has been difficult but rewarding to get a picture of my great grandmother and her shawl still in its box only because I asked the person who inherited her house while no one had cared to find out in the family.

If you read some of the history of the European Royalty who intermarried so much that it created deformities, crazy (Juana la Loca) and sterility among other stuff.

Back to your family the Contreras, There are many players now many of them with dispensas that has help put a tighter timeframe.

L5B5-95V is the locator on www.familysearch.com for Jose Christobal de Contreras, it can be search by ID or Name added to your family already on Familysearch. I added what was in the dispensas put it needs your familiarity to put all together.

I have a theory of the aguilera vs. Contreras, I believe she had the baby before they married. I say this only because they seem to use the name Aguilera forward while they don't mention Aguilera nor refer to her as married only that Maria Contreras is mother.

​

Comment

Oh I'm not related to the Encarnacions. I've just met them when I went to see their collections. As I said, they only mixed with the three families there. My Contreras family lost it's pure Espanol Ancestry when Xptobal De Contreras Sanchez married a mulato.

Here, she's a video of the Museum where she explains the pact made by the three families to preserve the bloodline and explains the history of her family.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fy2o0gG3ojU

If there's a a small location like a town or village where your family has lived for a long time, I recommend going. I have a funny story about it. When I went to San Sebastian, I met a man and showed him a list of my grandmother's siblings. As he read it out loud, he said "Hijos De Aurelio Guerrero y Francisca Contreras........ Aurelio era la primo de mi mama....Yo soy un Guerrero....Somos Primos". I had unfortunately never met my grandparents but within an hour of being in town, I had already found family. I had met another man who was reading the list of my grandfather, Serapio Contreras Medina's family to another man who couldn't read. The man reading said "Do you know any Medinas" while the man who couldn't read said " Yes when I was a boy, I was sick but the Curandero Medina came and he healed me". When he said Curandero, I knew he was talking about Serapio's grandfather, Benjamin Medina. The man asked, "what was his name" while the other man thought for a minute and replied "Benjamin". After that, they spent half an hour telling me how my great great grandfather, who was born back in 1879, was a wise man who saved the lives of many there because there was no hospitals back then.

Back to Aguilera....

If I recall, Xptobal's parents were already married. I'm leaning towards the idea of Ruiz De Contreras being more prestigious. Thanks for the update on Familysearch. I should really go update to correct some info since the last time I've worked on it was a few years ago.

Comment

That makes sense about the last names. Diego Ruiz de Contreras and Petrona Garcia had two daughters with different names: Maria Ruiz De Contreras and Ysabel Garcia De Contreras.

You also have famous people like President Santa Anna who's full name was Antonio de Padua María Severino López de Santa Anna y Pérez de Lebrón despite none of his parents having the name of "Padua".

As for the Ruiz De Contreras in the state Guanajuato, I believe they are probably a separate branch of the family that have a common ancestor with my oldest known ancestor Diego Ruiz De Contreras.

I believe the record that sarod77 should me from Guadalajara of a baptism of one of Diego's daughters is a match. This would mean Diego was probably born around the early 1600s or late 1500s. He was probably from Guadalajara and later moved to Mascota. I know his wife Petrona Garcia also had relatives that lived in Mascota so there was probably a mass migration of people from Guadalajara to Mascota sometime in the mid 1600s

If Diego was born in the early 1600s it late 1500s, that must mean one his grandparents, with the name Contreras is the first one to arrive in Nueva Spain.

So close....

Santa Anna's given name Antonio de Padua is in honor of St. Anthony of Padua, not for any of his parents or grandparents.

Según dice en la acta que mencionas que dice que Miguel de Contreras español, va a contraer matrimonio con H Petrona de la peña y dice que tienen consanguinidad en 3er grado, eso quiere decir que son parientes o provienen de la misma familia, si buscas en la familia de Petrona también te pudiera ayudar.

Dice también que pide dispensa para casarse con ella, ya que aunque sean familia, donde el vive es familia de todos y lo mismo de ella que donde vive en la navidad, también todos son parientes de cuarto grado para abajo.
que tiene 5 hermanas en la misma situación y que la mantiene su padrastro, ya que no pueden mantener la madre también trabaja.

Miguel se dice de oficio arriero(Eran los señores que traían burros y cargaban cosas de un lugar a otro, algo a si como servicio de fletes, pero ellos regularmente era leña que ellos recolectaban y vendían en los poblados.) y comenta que aunque pobre podrá mantener bien a Petrona.

Comment

Gracias por la información sobre Miguel amigo. Lo que sabemos ahora es que Miguel De Contreras y mi antepasado Cristóbal De Contreras Sánchez son hijos de Cristóbal de Aguilera, quien más tarde tomó el nombre de su madre de "Contreras". Cristobal De Aguilera es el hijo de María Ruiz De Contreras. María es hija de don Diego Ruiz De Contreras y de Petrona García. Todos vivían en el pueblo de Mascota. El primer registro que hemos encontrado hasta ahora es un bautismo de la hermana de María, Catalina, cuyos padres aparecen como "Diego Ruiz y Petrona García". Este registro es de Guadalajara en el año 1637. Esto me lleva a creer que antes de vivir en Mascota, Diego Ruiz De Contreras vivió y probablemente nació en Guadalajara a principios del 1600.

Encontré un Diego Ruis que nació de Diego Ruiz De Salamanca y Juana De Ahumada en 1618 en Guadalajara. Creo que podría ser él pero necesito encontrar el registro de matrimonio de Diego Ruiz De Contreras y Petrona García, que ocurrió en algún momento alrededor de la década de 1630 en Guadalajara.

Hey guys I found a record from 1672 from the town of cuquio which is just outside of Guadalajara. This marriage record is of a man named Nicolas Ruiz De Contreras. I believe he's a son of Diego Ruiz De Contreras and Petrona Garcia or perhaps a really younger brother of Diego. As stated before, we know Diego and Petrona lived in Guadalajara in 1637 because their daughter was baptized there. After that, they moved to Mascota. I've read the record but I cant find the name of Nicolas's parents. It does say Nicolas is a vecino of Cuquio but not an originario of the town.

Here's the record

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-6BFV-K?mode=g&i=209&cc=187…

Comment

here is marriage record though cuquio's record does not extend to 1669.

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JC69-91P

I've look for his parents name some time ago but did not find them. There has to be a dispensation of 3rd with 4th degree. In your doc. I believe he is trying to get her back but Maria Ruelas (aka as maria de la Campana) her mother is named Jusepa de la Campana (aka Josepha Ramirez) refuses and wishes for an annulment. Her parents forced her to marry him and once married she states that he took her to the mountains and stripped her and hung her on a tree but a neighbor Antonio ruiz stopped the violence and the next day he really tried to kill her by putting her on an aggressive animal and so on.

Comment

I was able to find their marriage record that wasn't in the Cuquio, which was located in the in the Diocesis of Guadalajara. Unforantely, it does not name his parents. It does name a town of origin for him but I cant seem to figure out the writing.

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-DK82-D?mode=g&i=88&wc=3JWP…

What are Capellanias, Ordenes, and Cofradias? Can I find marriage records in those? I think I'm gonna go through the ones in Guadalajara to find Diego Ruiz De Contreras's marriage record.

Comment

The following might help with your question though there was another discussion with Manny this past year. I am not there yet in my research so I don't know.

http://www.nuestrosranchos.org/node/23072

As for Nicolas it seems his parents are purposely left out. I only saw that once before with Tiscareno. What I read is that he is

24 years old more or less, probably more. between 1635 and 1645 I would guess.
he is originally from a town I could not read but it has Rl (Rio?)de oct___quis (maybe from Los Contreras in San Luis?)
He lived 8 years somewhere else and 6 years in ?
There is a Dispensa for 3 degree with 4 (can't remember where I read it but I didn't attach it)

Comment

Rl means Real. That's what they referred to towns or municipality back then.

There is a Diego Ruis De Salamanca and a Juana de Ahumada who had the following children in Guadalajara:

DIEGO 1618
CHRISTOBAL 1621
Jose 1625
Antonia 1627
NICOLAS 1630

My Diego had his daughter, Catalina/Catharina,in 1637. If he's the son of Diego and Juana, that would make him 19, If this Nicolas is the son of Diego and Juana, that would make him 39.

Comment

Hey Sarod. I reread the marriage record that I found of Nicolas Ruiz De Contreras and Maria. Right in the middle it mentions "Pueblo De Mascota". Are you sure that the information is referring to the groom or the bride?

Mascota is where the Contreras family lived prior to when my ancestor, Cristobal, moved to Santiago De Pinos. Mascota is also the location where all these records I found so far in the Dispenas list.

If Nicolas is 24 in 1669, then he would have to be the son of Diego Ruiz De Contreras and Petrona Garcia. We know their daughter was baptized in Guadalajara and I assumed that Diego and Petrona were born in Guadalajara.

Now that it is certain that this Nicolas is most likely the son of Diego and Petrona, I can use the name of this town the record claims Nicolas is naturally from. This town is most likely where Diego and Petrona were originally from. For all we know, this location could be outside of Nueva Galicia.

Only issue is that its hard to figure what the town is based on the spelling.

I missed the part where he states that at age 8 "Respondio que de edad de ocho anos se fue a vivir este de Rancho? o Yarante? y el pueblo de mascota en con Maria de su madre y de ahi vivio ocho anos y se mudo a (???)al real del albaradon donde estuvo seis anos y en la magdalena y Tequis un ano y un ano en este Tacoltan jurisdiction. I'm pretty sure it is about him. I didnt search for Maria's birthday in other document.

Comment

The phrase "Maria de Su madre" is odd. Do you think that means "madre de su madre", as in grandmother? What I do know about Diego Ruiz De Contreras's wife, Petrona Garcia, is that she definitely had family in Mascota because a dispensa said that a husband and bride were related through Petrona and one of her sisters, Lenore Ximenez.

So this is what I know now:

Petrona's family is from Mascota. She marries Diego and had a daughter in Guadalajara. They had Nicolas somewhere before or after in this unknown town we can't decipher. The assumption is that, assuming Nicolas is older than his sister, Catalina, this could be the town of Diego's birth. Maybe Petrona moved there with one of her family members, married him, then went to live in Guadalajara. Then they went to live in Mascota.

The record you want is at image 352 in this volume. The parents of the couple are Juan Jose Ruiz and Maria Francisca Perez, and Vicente Ysaguirre and Maria Victoria de la Cruz.

There seems to be at least two groups of records for this church. The section with your record goes to image 390 (left side is 1801), and the right side restarts in 1766.

If the record does not appear where you expect it, you may need to scan through the whole volume to see how the book/film is laid out. Some times there will be records for different chapels bound together in one volume. Sometimes, the volume will be in poor condition, and the pages are just mixed up.

Tony Campos RIP

Esteemed genealogist Tony Campos passed away today, November 18, 2016. His primary genealogical focus was in the State of Michoacan.

Genealogy Research in Mexico

The number of people researching their roots in Mexico is ever growing. What I wonder is, do people who were born in Mexico and still live there have any interest in genealogy.

Comment

I began asking questions of my relatives in Mexico more than 30 years ago, but did not write it down. 10 years later, realizing most of my maternal line had ceased to be, I started asking questions and writing it down. Mom had the most amazing memory, along with my Aunt who traveled extensively between California, San Antonio and Mexico City where she had contact with extended 2nd cousins. Everyone of my cousins were gracious and had a great interest in the knowledge collected. Even an Aunt whom I had never met and did not seem very interested, sent me a picture of our great grandmother no one had ever seen and her shawl still in its original box. I can tell you I did not think there was any way to find out anymore than what I was told and so the years went by and my relatives would ask where are the results but I really didn't have much. They stopped asking. I finally found time to enter info on ancestry and send access to all my cousins of their family and my progress which they love getting.

I would think there is a strong interest in Mexico based on the marvelous books written by Mariano Gonzales Leal, Israel Cavazo Garza, Rafael Morales Bocardo, MARIA DE LA LUZ MONTEJANO HILTON "la Mitra de Guadalajara, and the many books others have mentioned on this site.

Victoriano and Sarod,

How interesting to read about your experiences. Many Americans of Mexican descent have the same problems with some of their families not showing much interest. It would be great to be able to spread the word and show people in Mexico that resources such as Familysearch are available free of cost. And course, there is always this forum for people to reach out to make connections though I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.

It's not that uncommon to have our families in Mexico be disinterested in
genealogy, one of the reasons may be that they have always been deeply
connected to their family and heritage, thus they don't feel the need to
find out about the past, they are more connected to their past than we are.
They most likely live it and hear about it every day. They know how things
were then, it's passed on through each generation.

Those of us who are more distant are more disconnected, thus the need to
reach back, to try and learn more about our roots. Having said that, even
here, there are many of our family members who don't care about their
history and genealogy..........this is a case of to each his own.

I believe my prima Alicia's description is very much true. Not only is it
apparent in genealogy research, but this phenomenon has been written about
in relation to religious ceremonies and other cultural events. One specific
example is how African descendants in Brazil kept their religious
ceremonies, music and dance so pure that very little to no change was
realized in these events over centuries. Their same peoples slowly changed
religious practices, music and dance back in Africa. Much of this
phenomenon is due to the longing people have of their homeland and wanting
to maintain a link to their heritage. On the other hand, I have found a few
relatives in Mexico extremely excited about genealogy. Some of their
acquaintances have reached out to me so that I can help them with their
genealogy.

As I’m thinking about it, you also see a huge interest in mariachi music in
the United States. So much so that mariachi conferences dating back to the
1970s have led to the adoption of mariachi programs at all levels of our
educational across this nation. These mariachi programs in middle school,
high school, college and other cultural centers are far more numerous here
in the United States than they are in Mexico. The root of their success is
largely due to our longing to maintain our culture, not to mention that
it’s the most beautiful music in the world. I’m a little biased though.

I am hoping our family in Mexico will want to communicate and meet with us
once I find out who they are.

I'm a Mexican living in Mexico and I've met many people interested in genealogy. Many used to post in a genealogy group in Spanish, but little by little people left the group, including me. I know there is a genealogical society in Monterrey. I would search for Mexican genealogists living in Mexico in forums in Spanish.

I wanted to "find" something like Find a Grave as well; but instead I ended up having someone take pictures of every gravestone in a small town's cemetery. This was something of a foreign idea to my cousins out in Mexico and found it odd. That research help me make a few missing connections in my tree (and are considering adding it to the Find-A-Grave in the US; but dont know the privacy/permissions side of it).

They were also amazed and surprised at all the data/docs available for research, but they seemed to think it's out of their reach for usage (just didn't have enough time to train others). Perhaps just a comfort level with tech for some and the younger kids are just interested in Facebook connections.

As for the elders they have what I call "Spoken Genealogy" which is an oral history of ancestors and family lineage. I found some stories interesting and they ended up linking people that had no written records along with some stories to go with them.

In the end I think its a cultural thing to have family history spoken and told in stories. A few were OK with transcribed/recorded interviews as I was testing the waters.

That's my 2 cents...

Dear Danny,

It says " Madalena". It does not say "Maria Vielma" I saw a post by Austin Perez on wikitree that says that Salvador's wife is Maria Vielma.

It also says that they found it necessary to baptize him in a house and not in a church.

I made a mistake Danny, doesn't say that the baptism was in a house. It says "caso" not "casa"

It says:
Padrinos Salvador Ruis de Esparza y Madalena por a----me informado Q(ue) lo bautizo en caso [(a)? ] de necesidad el Lcdo. (liciencado) Juan Fernandez Presbit.(priest)

Godparents Salvador Ruiz de Esparza and Madalena

The scribe, not the priest is writing that he was informed that the Licienciado Juan Fernandez baptized him out of necessity.
