Guía de los Archivos de la Iglesia en España

I didn't see any previous topics that discussed this guide so I hope I'm not bringing something forward that's already known to members. If it's already out there, it never hurts to remind everyone.

At over 1000 pages, The new Guide to the Archives of the Church in Spain, the first volume in the collection of «Computer Tools for Consulting Church Archives in Spain», contains a detailed and updated description of the one hundred and sixty largest ecclesiastical archives in Spain (cathedral, diocesan, monastic and convent)and also of the 23,000 parish archives belonging to the sixty seven dioceses of the Church in Spain.

Hopefully this aids those of you that may be able to trace your ancestors to Spain.

A pdf copy of the guide was too large to post and can be found at: http://www.mcu.es/archivos/docs/ArchivosIglesia.pdf

My 5th Generation GGF Blas Madera Defunto Record 1776

I would like to thank a fellow nuestrorancho member who found this defunto record of my 5th Generation GGF Blas Madera who passed away in 1776 in Huejuquilla El Alto married to a second wife:

http://oi62.tinypic.com/2qai93a.jpg

Blas Madera was originally from Mezquitic, Jalisco, Mexico who got married in 1728 with Maria Theresa Avila, is the son of Joseph Madera/Josepha Josepha Basquez. In that matrimonio he was classified as a "Mestizo"

http://oi61.tinypic.com/fuynah.jpg

He had two sons: Francisco Madera (1723 - 1790) and Lazaro Madera (? - 1783) who show up at Rancho De Los Maderas of Huejuquilla. I am descended from Francisco Madera.

Maria Theresa Avila passes away and Blas Madera remarries with Maria Lorensa Magallanes in 1768 in Huejuquilla El Alto, Jalisco Mexico:

http://oi60.tinypic.com/i52eix.jpg

Then he passes away in 1776 and labeles as a "mulatto libre?" That is odd! His parents in his 1728 marriage record in Mezquitic are labeled as "espanoles"

But I don't have the baptism record of Blas Madera. In his defunto record it says he left a "testamento" also says he had 3 missas resadas and that something about "no la escucho por la distancia de su rancho donde murio."

He passed away at Rancho De Los Maderas (today San Jose De Maderas) of Huejuquilla El Alto, Jalisco, Mexico.

El Sagrario Aguascalientes Book - Julian Romo de Vibar Munos

Hello, has anyone researched through the records in El Sagrario? I'm searching for this entry, but I just can't seem to locate this exact record in Asuncion de Maria - the film number seems slightly off, yet in sequence with the others. I found the year and month on page 68, but there is no listing for July 23. I may just be looking in the wrong place.

books to read

A current good read is "Jaguar's Children" by John Vaillant, a Canadian living in Mexico.I also know that there were English tin miners who went to live in Mexico in the 1800's. Mexico is a real melting pot of different tribes and cultures. (I joined to research my children's Mexican heritage.)

Danny,

You'll have lots of support along the way with Nuestros Ranchos. Join your
local Latino Genealogical Society wherever you live, it helps to have face
to face contact with other people with similar areas of research. It's a
great opportunity to bounce ideas off of people and to have others assist
you along the way.......where do you live?

Alicia,

Getting History Straight

Are your children learning that a Spanish/Latino/creole army and navy ran the British out of most of what became the southern U.S. during the Revolutionary War? Check their U.S. history books! If the index doesn't list ”Galvez” and the “Siege of Pensacola” write your school board!

Any book that lists Lafayette but not Galvez is distorting history. IMO.

Marriage dispensation from Joaquin Estevez y Guzman de la Mora and Ygnacia de la Mora

In case anyone needs this data, here is the Marriage dispensation from Jose Joaquin de Santo Tomas Estevez y Guzman de la Mora and Maria Ygnacia de la Mora, October 22, 1800.

Genealogía de Nochistlán antiguo reino de la Nueva Galicia en el siglo XVII según sus archivos parroquiales

I noticed many members requesting or looking for the book "Genealogía de Nochistlán antiguo reino de la Nueva Galicia en el siglo XVII según sus archivos parroquiales"

I recently received copies of a couple of chapters and posted them on this site under Files and "Reference Materials" under "Genealogia Nochistlan Capitulos"

It is not many, but it's a start to help some of us.

I want to thank Alicia for taking time and providing the information to me.

Research Digest, Vol 115, Issue 2

I teach American history in a college in Central Texas. The vast majority of text books that I have used here and in Laredo,Texas do not mention Galvez.
Texas education is held hostage by a certain political party that has made a concerted effort to "white wash" both national and state history in our state's textbooks at all age levels. They have encouraged our text books to minimize the contributions of minority figures.

This is why it is important to have minorities such as myself teaching. I include both women and significant minority history makers in my lectures and class assignments. I also make the students see them again on the tests and exams so that they know they have to learn about these people.

Calzada/Briones/Colunga in Fresnillo, Zacatecas

Hello Everyone,
Just registerd for the site and have spent a couple of days reviewing the lists. So excited about the possibility of finding my mothers family! Have spent many years researching my father's side, but didn't have much (and still don't) on my mom's side. So here goes:

Looking for the Calzada-Briones-Colunga family possibly in Fresnillo. They seemed to have moved quite a bit, but found the 1930 Mexico census that listed my grandmother and her parents in Santa Barbara, CHI, MX. The census listed my great grandparents as having been born in Zacatecas, no city listed. Just yesterday, I learned that they may have been from or lived in Fresnillo, Zacatecas, as this was the birth place of one of their children but not necessarily the city where my great grand parents were born, but it's a starting point! My mother's memory is not so good but this is the info I have so far and hoping to make a connection:

Juan Briones-Colunga b. abt 1884 Zacatecas
m. Josefa Calzada b. abt 1887 Zacatecas
ch:
1. Filiberto/Alberto Colunga b. 1900 Fresnillo, Zacatecas d. 1989, buried Parral Cemetery, CHI, MX
m. Isiidra (Ciri) L. Terrazas
ch: Abigail, Savina, Genaro, Benedicto, Hiliberto, Concepcion, Ester
2. Federico Colunga b. abt 1910 CHI
m. Justina Unknown
3. Refugia Colunga b. est 1913
4. Miguel Colunga b. abt 1912
5. Luis Colunga b. abt 1914
6. Erlinda/Hermelinda Colunga b. abt 1916 (my grandmother) d. abt 1940/41
m. Samuel Reyes-Marquez
ch: 2 daughters
7. Rebeca Colunga b. abt 1918
m. Jesus Menarrez
8. Ambrosio Colunga b. abt 1923 d. abt 1941/42
9. Salvador 'Chava' Colunga b. abt 1926

From memory, my mother and her cousin say that an Enrique Colunga was either a son of Juan or a brother of Juan Colunga. Enrique was a governor of Guanajuato, very short term. Family lore says that Juan and son, Filiberto, rode with Pancho Villa and Filiberto was buried in the same cemetery as Pancho Villa.
Juan Colunga and sons were wealthy entreprenuers holding occupations as 'Zapatero's', (shoemakers?) and they owned shoe stores. I have one family picture of my great grandparents and some of their children.

My grandparents, Hermelinda and Samuel were divorced with two daughters. Samuel Marquez removed to El Paso, TX. Hermelinda died about one year after my mother was born and the two sisters were separated. They have only met once since then (1979). Last known, my Aunt was in Mexico City, but attempts to reach her have been unsuccesful. My grandfather made several attempts to regain custody of his two daughters, but the maternal uncles would run him out of town at each attempt. My grandfather was finally able to get my mother (long story about how this was done) when she was 15 and brought her to the US. He was not able to find her sister.

Any help on this family would be greatly appreciated.

Rosters of Spanish and Latino Patriots Under Galvez

There has been some publication of research of rosters of Louisianans who marched with Galvez against the British in the American Revolution. But nothing of the peninsular and colonial units he imported from throughout the New World. Or the sailors manning the many ships he used in the campaign. These records exist, I believe, in Seville, and await the attention of a researcher. I for one would help underwrite the publication of these rosters.

Records of Tenamaxtlan prior to 1757

Has anybody researched in the area around Tenamaxtlan, Jalisco? I'm trying to locate an ancestor who was born in this feligresia in or around 1751, but the baptisms seem to begin in 1757 for this parish.

Juana Maria Sanchez (sometimes spelled Sanchis) was married on 21 apr 1765 to Juan Bautista Macedo in San Joaquin, (found in the Guachnango films). According to the matrimonial information, she was born in Tenamaxtlan around 1751. Her parents were Nicolas Sanchez and Manuela Espinoza. I've been able to find several of her siblings after 1757, but not her baptism, much less her parents marriage. Where did the people of Tenamaxtlan register before the parish was established? I would assume Atengo and Tecolotlan, being the closest towns, are my top choice. But it seems that the Atengo records have not been microfilmed! For now, I'll start browsing the films in Tecolotlan hoping to find Nicolas Sanchez and Manuela Espinoza's marriage. If anyone has some additional advice, I would greatly appreciate it.

Sons of Francisco Gutierrez Rubio (II, El Viejo) en Jalostotitlan, Jal

According to Marianos Gonzalez Leal "Retoños de España en la Nueva Galicia Tomo II", in the diagram Esquema Numero I, Francisco Gutierrez Rubio (II, El Viejo) and Ana Gonzalea-Florida (I) had three sons and three daughters.

1. Ana Gonzalez-Florida (II) married Juan Gonzalez de Hermosillo y Muños.

2. Capitan Miguel Gutierrez-Rubio married Leonor de Hermosillo.

3. Catalina Gutierrez-Rubio married Francisco Muños de la Barba.

4. Diego Gonzalez-Rubio married Polonia de Torres.

5. Maria Gonzalez married Juan de Aceves.

6. Capitan Francisco Gutierrez-Rubio (II, El Mozo) married Francisca Hurtado de Mendoza.

My first question, has someone verified that Francisco (El Mozo) actually married Francisca Hurtado de Mendoza. Years later after Mariano wrote "Retoños", he wrote the prologue to the book "Los Duran de Nochistlan". In the prologue he writes that Francisco (El Mozo) married Leonor de Hermosillo. This contradicts what he wrote in "Retoños". Below is an excerpt from the prologue:

Juana (de Lomelin) casó en Nochistlán el 12 de Septiembre de 1621 con Rodrigo de Carbajal y Ulloa; y viuda, pasó a segundas nupcias con el Jalostitlense Don Francisco Gutiérrez de Hermosillo, hijo del capitán Francisco Gutiérrez Rubio y de Doña Leonor de Hermosillo. Por estas vias, gran parte de los linajes Jalostitlenses remontan su ascendencia a los Lomelines de Nochistlan."

If Francisco (El Mozo) actuall married Leonor, then who did Capitan Miguel Gutierrez-Rubio marry?

Need help.

Thanks,

Sergio Gutierrez

Dear Primos and friends:
Wonderful heritage related projects and events are happening. It appears many of us are feeling a desire to know who we really are, searching and defending our heritage through diverse activities.
Finding out that:

"In many ways each of us is the sum total of what our ancestors were.
The virtues they had may be our virtues, their strengths our strengths, and in a way their challenges could be our challenges."
(James E. Faust, Ensign, Nov. 2003, pg. 53)

Surely the social challenges of the 19th and 20th century are still with us, and our ancestors faced them also. Probably to a greater degree.
Somos Primos seeks out success stories to give us hope that through our efforts, we Latinos can make the world a better place for all.

"We may be of different political persuasions, but one thing we can all agree on, is what is best for our people," Delia Gonzalez Huffman.
http://www.mexicocircleoffriends.org/ Delia, retired marketing
executive, has set up a website to react to negative media coverage, to facilitate and assist us in protecting our past.

With deep gratitude to readers who continue to support Somos Primos by sending personal stories, extracted articles, and tidbits of information. The diversity of readership is reflected in the varied selection of information that I receive.

Special thanks to Dorinda Moreno who was surely a friend to all in this issue. Dorinda sent 18 pieces, which are scattered throughout the August issue!!

God bless our efforts in sharing historic truth . . .
