I am researching my grandfathers branch of the family tree. I have considerable oral information. Enough to get started at least. Here is what I know of my grandfather. His name was Pablo Macias.
Pablo Macias was born 29 June 1884 in Ayo El Chico, Jalisco. His father was Justo Macias. According to my aunt, his mother was Anastacia Guzman. She is certain that her grandfather's name was Justo. (I have an uncle with the same name.) She was not certain of her grandmother. She was sure that her first name was Anastacia. Guzman was the part she questioned. In my brief research, after joining this group, I found that my greatgrandmother's name could be Anastasia Jacinta. I consider this information pursuable due to the fact that I located Anastasia Jacinta married to Justo Macias on Feb. 18 of 1879 in Jesus Maria Pueblo, Jalisco. The Justo Macias was the son of Francisco Macias and Jesus Gusman.
My aunt is 86. My father is 80. They both traveled to Ayo El Chico, along with my grandfather, two or three times, and years ago. My grandfather died in 1973. They met their cousins during the trips. According to my aunt, my grandfather had a brother named Julio Macias. Julio had four children, 2 boys and 2 girls. The boy's were Miguel and Benjamin. One of the girl's was named Victoria. My aunt also reported that my grandfather had 2 sisters.
In their visits, my aunt told me that she met, or learned of, a man named Juan Lopez. He would be about my grandfather's age and was reportedly one of his best friends.
I should also add that my grandfather moved from Jalisco at an early age. He ended up in North Texas.
Back to Anastasia Jacinta, I see that her father's name was Vicente Jacinto and her mother's name was Refugio Marques. If I establish that I am a desendent of Anastasia Jacinta, I will be very curious about this family as well.
Well that's enough for now. I welcome any information that would assist me in my effort to learn more about my family.
Thanks

Not Sure if your Justo came from Guanajuato but these could be his siblings. Since his
wife Anastacia would be possibly been born there.

Pablo Macias' Grandparents
Steve:
Welcome to the group and congratulations on your early finds. I am sure you will realize that this becomes a never ending quest with each discovery and confirmation only opening up more questions and opportunities for further research.
One thing that I would suggest is that if you have not yet looked at the actual baptism record for your grandfather Pablo Macias, you order the relevant film and look at it. In the archdiocese of Guadalajara, all baptisms were required to list the names of the four grandparents beginning around 1810... thus his baptism should confirm his maternal grandparents' names.
The pattern of Jacinto being used as the daughters surname... changed to Jacinta was not uncommon especially among indigenous people who otherwise lacked a surname, i.e. the second name became the surname. Vicente appears to not have had a surname since in the baptism of his daughter Librada he is listed with no surname.
If Anastacia Jacinta is indeed your ancestor, these would be her siblings:
