Prior to 1722 San Juan de los Lagos was under the parochial jurisdiction of
Jalostotitlan. A recent post by ppchuy stated there was a fire in that
church that destroyed many of the records prior to 1700 and that is why
nothing can be found for Jalostotitlan, San Juan, and San Miguel el Alto in
that period which is the reason why the dispensas are so valuable.

Everyone that can pitch in to help Claudia Reynoso to index the dispensas
so she can post them to her blog should do so.

As stated in that thread notary records can also be very valuable.
Hopefully someday some can be found for Los Altos that can help with
missing genealogical info.

There are also many matrimonial investigations that can be helpful when the
marriage records can't be found or don't name the parents of the bride and
groom. Since many of the people of San Juan married people from Lagos de
Moreno there is hope info can be found in the volumes of Información
Matromonial or marriage investigations of that church, at least between
1700 and 1722.

Are you researching a particular couple or is it a large range of people?
