Pam,

I went to a wedding in Nochistlan in August of 2007. My first cousin who is also my God-daughter married into the Jauregui family of Nochistlan. I happened to meet and talk to a few of the Jauregui's and this family still has deep roots in this very old town, specifically in La Estancia of Nochistlan. Next time I go to Nochistlan it is my intention to visit La Estancia and gleen a bit more information. I don't know if it's fact or just lore but two of the Jauregui relations said that all the Jauregui's descend from one Jauregui. They say he was well to do back in his time and that as a result of his wealth and his prowess he had many children with many women in all of the surrounding regions and ranchos. Unfortunately I did not document any of this but they did invite me to come and visit again. I too have ancestors who were Jauregui.

My GG-grandmother was Maria Juana de Dios Jauregui married to Prudencio Olmos Esparza. They married on 14 January 1857 in Nochistlan Zacatecas.
She was the daughter of Hilario de Jauregui Robalcava and Maria Concepcion Olazaba from el Rancho de San Roque.
Hilario was the son of Vicente de Jauregui and Feliciana Robalcava also of el Rancho de San Roque which is in the municipio de Nochistlan.

I tried to tell them it was probably a different branch of Jaureguis because they came from a different rancho, but they proceeded to tell me that they had heard stories of their ancestor whom they claimed was the progenitor of most of the Jaureguis of that region. Again I repeat I don't have any documents that would substantiate this statment only oral stories.

Have you met with any relations from Nochistlan? or do you have many Jauregui family members in this area?

By the way, Nochistlan is only about 30 minutes from Teocaltiche Jalisco.

Subject: [Nuestros Ranchos] Jauregui from Nochistlán , Zacatecas

I too am researching the Jauregui family and am early in my search.

Here is what I know:
Domingo JAUREGUI was born ca 1902 in Nochistlán,
Zacatecas. The family story is that he came from
Basque Spain. Domingo married Maria LOMELI
daughter of Leocadia and an unknown father
LOMELI. Maria LOMELI was born ca 1907 in
Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. I do not have death
dates or places for Domingo or Maria. The couple
had 5 known children:

1. Maria de la Luz JAUREGUI born 30 Jun 1929 in
Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. She married Jose
ITO ca Feb 1947 in Juarez, Chihuahua. Jose ITO's
parents were Minoru or Kaname ITO born ca 1886 in
Japan and his wife Enriqueta ACOSTA daughter of
Ambrosio ACOSTA and Josefa HERNANDEZ. Enriqueta
ACOSTA was born ca 1898 in Juarez, Chihuahua.
Ambrosio ACOSTA was born 1 Jan 1857 in Camargo,
Chihuahua.

2. Domingo JAUREGUI born ca 24 May 1931 in
Villa Obregon, Jalisco died in El Paso, Texas in
1996.

3. Ruben JAUREGUI born ca 1933 in Guadalajara, Jalisco.

4. Miguel JAUREGUI born ca 1935 in Guadalajara, Jalisco.

5. Raul JAUREGUI born ca 1937 in Guadalajara, Jalisco.

I would appreciate any help on this family.
