By chance I found a baptismo record where my great great grandfather Juan Venancio Madera along with his wife Maria Josefa were padrinos of a "mulatto libre" named Juan Secundino - who is the son of Juan Quesada and Petra Acuna:

Here is a baptismo record of my great great grandfather "Juan Venancio Madera, "Espanol" of Rancho de Los Maderas near Huejuquilla, Jalisco year 1762 which is also near Hacienda San Antonio. Juan Venancio Madera was registered as "Espanol" and is the son of Francisco Madera and Maria de Huizar:

By chance I also found a baptismo of my great great grandfather Francisco Madera who was the Padrino of a "mulatto libre" by the name of Ant. Cofracio, "mulatto libre" who is the son of Thomas Redondo of the Hacienda of Rancho De Los Maderas:

I would assume Francisco Madera is the same person

h

can anyone read all the names and also tell me if Nikolas or maria were previousley married? this is thier marriage certificate . i cant read information on marias parents either

thank you

My mother is an immigrant from Mexico who became a U.S. citizen; my father’s family all came from the New Mexico area and became citizens when the U.S. bought (or stole) the territories. So basically, all my ancestors were of Mexican descent.

I joined this research forum because of my interest in the area of Encarnacion de Diaz, Jalisco. My oral history indicated that my grandmother, Maria Cervantes, was born in Jalisco to parents, Modesto Cervantes & Petra Aguilera. Their respective parents were Quirino Cervantes and Maria Agatona Soto (or Agaton Escoto); and Geronimo Aguilera and Augustina Luevano. Maria reportedly had one brother, Desiderio and two half-siblings, Enrique and Maximiana. Ancestry.com shows that my grandfather, Filomeno Picazo, immigrated to the U.S. from Jalisco in 1915, and his brothers, Refugio and Nicolas immigrated in 1912 and 1917 respectively. From my mother’s baptismal record extracted from Jalisco in 1971, my great grandparents were Perfecto Picazo and Quirina Ferrel.

The LDS site has given me access to marriage records for Perfecto Picazo and a Quirina Gonzalez on 31 May 1876 in Encarnacion de Diaz. That marriage record indicates that Perfecto’s parents were Nicolas Picazo and Blaza de Anda, who were married in 1843 in Encarnacion de Diaz. Quirina Gonzalez’ parents were listed as Estanislao Gonzalez and Maria de la Merced Guzman. There is no further mention of Ferrel, so I don’t know where that names fits in. There is a marriage record for Geronimo Aguilera (b 1833 in Encarnacion de Diaz) and Augustina Luevano on 12 May 1858 in Aguascalientes. Petra was born in 1862 in El Senor Del Encino, Aguascalientes. There is one record for Quirino Cerbantes Peres (b 1834 Encarnacion de Diaz) that lists Gerardo Cerbantes and Rafaela Peres as his parents, but I do not know if those are the right ones. Names seem to change as I pursue records further back.

So far, my best results have come from the LDS Family Search site. I belong to Ancestry.com but their records are mostly European. Ancestry.com has been helpful in getting Census records of my father’s family up to the middle of the 1800s but the previous history must be in Catholic records, if they exist. I’ve also gotten DNA testing with the Family Tree DNA site, but even that has given limited information. If any of you have research that intersects with my surnames, I’ll be glad to exchange information.

I need to know where I can order Birth and Death Records for Jalisco, Mexico.
My grandparents are Jose Mena & Juana (Born Valderrama) I received a marriage record for them from Armando on this site. Thank you very much Armando.

My grandfather Jose was born on March 19 1904 in Union de San Antonio. His parents are Jesus Mena and Juana Lopez. I can’t find Baptismal record on Jesus & Juana or any of their other children, if they had any. I’m still looking for Jose’s baptismal record on family search & my heritage website. No Luck.

My grandmother Juana Valderrama was born on June 24 1907 in Lagos de Moreno. Her parents are Nabor Valderrama and Jacinta Prado. I do know that Nabor & Jacinta had 5 children. But can’t find Juana’s baptismal record.

I need to find out when my great grandparents where born and where. I appreciate any help you can give me. I will order birth and death records. But I don’t know where to go to find them. Thank you Laurie Machen

Hi Everyone,
My name is Laurie Machen. I’m new to the group. I can’t wait to start doing some research. I have been working on my family tree for 5 years now. I had an account on Ancestry and My Heritage website. I’m familiar with Family Search. I did not have the opportunity to know my grandparents from Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco, Mexico. I lost contact with that side of the family after my parents divorced. I grew up with my father’s parents. I need help trying to find information.

My grandparent’s names are Jose Mena & Juanita (born Balderama). They both where born and married in Lagos de Moreno. They had 2 sons born there also. (Guadalupe 1925 & Leopoldo 1926)

I found a Jose’s Mena baptismal record on March 22 1903. But I don’t know if it’s him. I was told he was born in 1904. On his grave stone it reads 1904 also on the 1930 Kansas, USA Census read 1904. On his death certificate it reads March 19 1905. So I’m lost. He came to America in 1928 with his wife and 2 sons. He died on Sep 21, 1962. He is buried in Chicago, IL. USA. I don’t know his parents name.

Now for Juanita, I found a picture from her sister Paula she wrote Juana as her first name. She was born, On the United States Social Security Death Index it has her birthday as June 30, 1906. The family told me Feb 25 1907. She died on April 6, 1991 in Oak Lawn, IL. USA

I was hoping that someone can help me find their marriage license or anything on their families. Jose’s father took share of horses in Lagos de Moreno. I appreciate any help you can give me.

Estimados Miembros, especialmente Enrique Agraz,

Sé que varios de ustedes van a estar tan emocionados como yo por lo que encontré hoy referente a los origines de la familia de la Cueva.

Para resumir lo que hasta ahora se sabía en este foro, habíamos llegado a un callejón sin salida con el antepasado más antiguo D. Beltrán Fernández de la Cueva (-1684), casado con Tomasina de Velasco y Zúñiga.

Pues bien, recibí hoy (con mucha emoción) en préstamo de la Universidad de Wisconsin en Madison, los volúmenes I-VIII, que contienen 18 Números de las Memorias de la Academia Mexicana de Genealogía y Heráldica, que fueron publicados entre 1945 y 1953.

Me da mucho gusto poder compartir con ustedes este re-descubrimiento, pues no fui yo quien lo publicó originalmente sino D. Gabriel Agraz García de Alba quien escribió el artículo "Origen y Desenvolvimiento de la Familia de la Cueva en Tecolotlán", en "Memorias de la Academia Mexicana de Genealogía y Heráldica", Volumen VII, México D.F, 1953, pp. 53-108. Con este artículo podremos por fin responder a varias de las interrogantes que teníamos sobre el apellido de la Cueva.
En dicho artículo Don Gabriel nos narra el origen de la familia de la Cueva, remontando hasta el siglo XII (!), (p. 55) en Castilla la Vieja. Para no alargar demasiado, ¡efectivamente la familia de la Cueva fue de la nobleza castellana! Y no solo eso sino que fue un linaje muy ilustre contando entre si a los reconquistadores de Úbeda y Sevilla, Caballeros de Santiago, etc. En los próximos días trataré de publicar los nombres de las generaciones entre los fundadores D. Pedro de la Cueva y Dña. Carmona (p.55).

Por ahora va el adelanto desde los españoles llegados al Reino de Nueva Galicia en el siglo XVI.
Cito textualmente a D. Gabriel Agraz García de Alba:
Memorias de la Academia Mexicana de Genealogía y Heráldica, Volumen VII, México D.F, 1953, pp. 58-60.
“SEGUNDA PARTE
(En México)
"Décimocuarto nieto, de los fundadores [D. Pedro de la Cueva y Dña. Carmona], Capitán D. Juan de la Cueva Mendoza y Molina, originario de la ciudad de Úbeda, donde nació el año de 1552, principiando en esta ciudad su educación y terminándola en la de Baeza, de donde pasó siendo todavía muy joven, a esta Nueva España en unión de su hermano Francisco, habiendo sido llamados por su tío D. Pedro de la Cueva, que a la sazón desempeñaba en Guadalajara el importante cargo de Secretario Mayor de la Gobernación, Audiencia y Cancillería del Reino de la Nueva Galicia; pasado algún tiempo de estar radicado en Guadalajara, contrajo matrimonio en esta misma ciudad con Dña. Catalina de la Torre, hija del Capitán D. Diego de Colio, uno de los primeros conquistadores y pobladores de Nueva España, Nueva Galicia, Guatemala y Tehuantepec. Fue nombrado Capitán de guerra en varias expediciones en la costa occidental de dicho Reino y desempeñó varias Alcaldías. En 1592 se hallaba todavía avecindado en la ciudad de Guadalajara y en 1620 en Ahualulco, Jal., donde se cree haya pasado el resto de su vida, donde se dedicaba a la agricultura, poseyendo varios bienes raíces en dicha jurisdicción."

"Décimoquinto nieto, D. Diego Fernández de la Cueva Mendoza y Colio, quien en recuerdo de sus antepasados por línea directa de varonía particularmente los que habían llevado el nombre de Diego, usó el patronímico Fernández, en lo cual fue imitado por muchos de sus descendientes, nació en Guadalajara por los años de 1585 a 1586 y desde su infancia pasó al pueblo de Ahualulco, Jal. donde se crió, y no se sabe si en esta feligresía o en la de Etzatlán contrajo matrimonio con Dña. María de Solís y Ochoa."

TERCERA PARTE
(En Tecolotlán, Jalisco)

"Décimosexto nieto, de los fundadores, D. Beltrán Fernández de la Cueva Mendoza y Solís. Ignoro dónde haya nacido, fue casado con Dña. Tomasina de Velasco y Zúñiga, tal vez en segundas nupcias y hay memoria de él, en el archivo parroquial de este pueblo de Tecolotlán as ser bautizado su hijo Francisco, el 6 de marzo de 1682 por el fraile Juan de Bañuelas, habiendo sido sus padrinos su tío carnal el Capitán D. Francisco de Velasco y Zúñiga y Dña. Elvira de Guzmán (D. Francisco fue casado con Dña. Ma. Francisca Varillas el 9 de Febrero de 1712 y falleció el 20 de Dic. De 1755, sin dejar sucesión. "

D. Beltrán Fernández de la Cueva Mendoza y Solís, que abreviaba su nombre en D. Beltrán Fernández de la Cueva, falleció en este pueblo en el año de 1684, como se podrá ver en el acta de defunción que a continuación transcribo:
“ Al margen: ‘Beltrán Fernández de la Cueva. Español’. Al centro: ‘En veintiocho de Mayo de 1684 Falleció Don Beltrán Fernández de la Cueva español casado con Tomasina de Velasco. Testó dejó a cada una de las mandas por solas dos tomines pasó el testamento ante el teniente de este pueblo Dn. Juan de Betancur con teseros Mando se dijese un novenario por sus padres resado’. ‘Fr. Pedro Placencia’. “(rúbrica) Libro I. de Defunciones, Fol. 33”

My family can partially trace my mother and her siblings to an illicit
affair between my grandmother and a wealthy (wealthier than my poor
grandmother) Filipino man in Guadalajara, Jalisco in Mexico.

We do not have much information on them other than that the relationship did
not end well and when the Filipino man died we cut all ties to that family,
their surname is Espinoza.

This is a shout out to any Mexipinos out there! any Mexican Filipino threads
out there?

Estimados Miembros,

Acabo de crear un archivo con el Escudo de la Casa de la Cueva, según fue publicado por D. Gabriel Agraz García de Alba en "Memorias de la Academia Mexicana de Genealogía y Heráldica", Vol. VII, México D.F., 1952, p. 57.

Este escudo es le perteneció a la familia de la Cueva en Tecolotlán, Jalisco (específicamente, los descendientes de Beltrán Fernández de la Cueva (?-1684)y Tomasina de Velasco y Zúñiga). Aún NO hemos podido enlazar a todos los de la Cueva de la región de Nueva Galicia.

Muchos saludos,

Hi there all, I am glad to be part of the group, I've been (a bit at a time and slowly) researching my last name for little more than ten years now, although strictly talking about genealogy I just started a couple of years ago. Since the Internet is my only way of research I still need to find many links and pieces of information.

My research took me to the city of Nombre de Dios in Durango, in the second half of the 1600's, The film for this location and time is quite a challenge and unfortunately the time I got to review it, I wasn't doing genealogy yet therefore I couln't provide with a more detailed information like names and families other than my subjects but I am suspecting that some of them also lived in Zacatacas, I hope to revisit the files in order to extend the documentation since many records where skipped during the indexing at FamilySearch,(Film # 654868)

From there one of my ancestors moved to Nochistlán, Zacatecas and his children married among the Lozano, Leonel de Cervantes, Moscoso, Sandoval, Rodrigues de Frias.

One of my questions is about the town/village they mostly lived in, I noticed that the mentioned families lived in places like Los Lozanos, Los Mercados, Los Sandovales, Los Duranes/ Monte de los Duranes, etc. but there is this place that I can't locate geographically, named San Nicolas y Flores, (also San Nicolas, San Nicolas de Flores) in Nochistlán, I apreciate any information you may know of it.

From Zacatecas many Families moved around Nueva Galicia and end up all around Jalisco y Zacatecas.

I am also looking for the Rodriguez de Santa Ana (whom I am suspecting came also from Nombre de Dios, Durango). in particular there is a Fabian Rodriguez de Santa Ana married with Bernarda Gertrudis Ramires (or Mejía) whose kids born in Nochistlán.

I have a website where I am putting all my findings, is going to be updated constantly https://sites.google.com/site/quiralrte/

This is also my file http://www.nuestrosranchos.org/RJQ

Thank you for any information or comment, any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone else came up with this MtDNA haplogroup. I've read a little, but apparently, this is fairly common from SW Native American groups and northern Mexico down through Jalisco where it's even more common.

The entry is the very first one, Calletano Ruiz de Esparza and Maria Antonia Macias.

Thank you

Hello,
I'm new to this process and to this site. I'm trying to track down my ancestor's, Francisco Villanueva Andrade's, family line. He was born in San Deigo, Quiltupan, Jalisco in 1926. Right now, I'm trying to locate his parent's birth, death certificate information and hopefully their marriage information. Their names are: Faustino Orozco and Antonia Andrade Medina.

I was told Antonia was a very devoted Catholic. I was told she was instrumental in helping their local Parrish building come to be (she contacted the Catholic Church and got the ball rolling to get a priest there...worked in the church until the day she died, and she even raised funds to get the building and priest there). The name of the Parrish is: Parroquia del SAGRADO CORAZON DE JESUS , EN SANTA CLARA DE VALLADARES MUNICIPIO DE TOCUMBO MICHOACAN. CP. 59961. I'm not familiar with Mexico addresses and I tried to Google the Parrish to get more information regarding it and got nothing. I even tried a Catholic website for a Parrish locator and got nothing. I've searched for this couple on ancestry.com at a local family history center and got nothing. I've also searched for them on familysearch.com and got nothing...again.

So, here's my questions...1-What is the best route to take in trying to locate their birth and death information when I am in the US and this information is in Jalisco, Mexico? 2-Is there another database with lots of Mexican files, or do I need to start trying to obtain this information by snail mail or using the "old-school" genie research way? 3-The Parish I mentioned above, is this an address? If not, anyone know how I can locate their address? 3-Would the Parrish have this information? Is this a good place to start in gathering family information? I appreciate anyone who can help me with my questions and/or any tips on genie research.
Thank you in advance for your help.

the entry i'm talking about is for dominga acosta & juana maria ulloa. i think juana maria ulloa is a sister of one of my ancestors named isbael ulloa. i was able to connect juana maria to maria josefa ulloa in a marriage dispensation, and maria josefa to juan in another, and juan to isabel in another.

I am researching ancestors from Zacatecas and have found several documents from FamilySearch.org. I am stuck on one particular line on my grandmother's side.

If you have any of these people in your family tree, could you please reply to me? And if you do not, but have research tips, could you please reply as well? I am very curious to trace back further generations on this line.

1. Gorgonio Lopez b. about 1845. m. Maria Edurrigis Carrillo (b. 1837 in Zacatecas, Zacatecas, Mexico). d. before 1887.

2. Jose Cruz Lopez b. about 1865 in Jerez, Zacatecas, Mexico about. m. Francisca Rodriguez de los Reyes (b. about 1872 in La Calera, Zacatecas, Mexico) 1887 in Zacatecas, Zacatecas, Mexico. d. before 1909.
3. Maria Paula Lopez b. 1888 in Zacatecas, Zacatecas, Mexico.
3. Maria Margarita Lopez b. 1893 in Zacatecas, Zacatecas, Mexico m. Jose Antunez Perez (b. 1886 San Pedro de Colonias, Coahuila, Mexico) 1909. d. 1979 in Orange, California, USA.
3. Maria Juana Lopez b. 1898 in Zacatecas, Zacatecas, Mexico.

* I believe that Maria Edurrigis Carrillo was remarried to Tranqulino Garcia (b. about 1827) on 20 Jun 1887 in Zacatecas, Zacatecas, Mexico.

I am having difficulty finding death records for everyone in the above line except for my great-grandparents who migrated back and forth from Tijuana to the USA in the 1900s. I am also having difficulty finding records from this time, and I do not know what area in Tijuana they lived in.

I would also like to discover any brothers that the Maria Lopez sisters may have had and other siblings of Jose Cruz Lopez.

Some of the church records are missing in the FamilySearch.org online records, such as La Calera 1872 for Francisca Rodriguez Perez and in Jerez 1865 for Jose Cruz Lopez.

I thank you in advance!

Dear Primos and friends:

The May issue features Cesar Chavez and a series of articles revealing the impact that Chavez' life has made in the United States. At a meeting of the Society of Hispanic Historical and Ancestral Research, Judge Rick Aguirre, and his wife Linda, who is related to Cesar Chavez, shared the facts of Cesar's family. They were pioneers, early Arizona US Government Land Grant recipients. Most Americans would assume that Cesar was an immigrant field worker. I did. Their family history research changed my perspective.

More and more historians, educators, and family history researchers are uncovering facts that are changing their personal perspectives. Two weeks ago, I did a presentation on writing your family history at a large Family History Fair (about 25 instructors). The theme was "Beyond Genealogy." Querying those in attendance, all expressed a desire to share with their children and grandchildren to increase understanding and respect for their own families, to discover inherent strengths and talents.

Building a base of family stories will help us prepare and encourage us in the effort to bring about a National Museum of the American Latino.
Featured in May is a cluster of articles concerning the status of the Museum. Hope you feel the need to start writing your family history.

Twenty years ago, while attending an event in Washington, D.C., I was asked matter of fact by a non-Hispanic, "Will your folk really, really have anything to put into a Museum?" I say we do . . .

Happy Cinco de Mayo coming up!

My family's oral history includes an ancestor who came from France to fight in the French Intervention of Mexico, most likely the Batalla de Pueblo.

Who knows how I can find rosters of any type for French soldiers in the First and Second Interventions? I can only find rosters of Mexican soldiers for that time.

Thank you!
Natalie
