Daniel:

Segun informacion publicada en el libro "El señor de la Misericordia de Encarnacion de Diaz" de Rodolfo H Hernandez Quezada, Cronista de la ciudad que cita como fuente "comunicacion personal con Mariano Gonzalez-Leal",dice que Alonso Macias Valadez y Maria Vazquez Retamosa eran originarios de Villanueva de Balcarrota, Badajoz, Extremadura, España.

Daniel,

I hope that the following is of at least some peripheral assistance in this searh.

Family History Library Film 1553960 (Batch F867345) indicates that my ancestor Nicolas Aceves Valadez (born about 1557 in Lagos de Moreno) married Leonor Retamosa (born about 1561 in Lagos de Moreno) about 1582 in Lagos de Moreno and had at least the following 5 offspring:

- Leonor Retamosa, born about 1583 in Lagos de Moreno.
- Gaspar Macias, boprn about 1587 in Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes.
- Mateo Macias Valadez, born about 1589 in Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes (and died 26 July 1662).
- Felipe Macias Valadez, born about 1593 in Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes.
- Alonso Macias Valadez, born about 1595 in Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes (and died 27 January 1645).

Saludos,

Efrain Conrique
