A few items that interest me...

Perhaps someone knows a "next step" and can help me continue to build a
family tree. I am looking for an ancestor, "Manuel Carrillo Buezo" born
sometime in the late 1700's. He is my great, great, great grandfather. He
had three children (perhaps more and I have yet to find them), with two
born in 1818 and 1826 and the third birth unknown at this time. This leads
me to assume his birth in the late 18th century. At this time I have been
going through the church records of Tamazula de Gordiano, Jalisco and not
finding his baptism yet. It is family lore that the first Carrillo in our
family arrived in Tamazula from Burgos, Spain. I do not know how true that
is. But if there is no record of Manuel Carrillo in the Tamazula church
records, then he must have come from some other region of Mexico or from
Spain. *What would be the next step if that is the direction I must
follow?* His
wife, "Lugarda Ochoa Moxic" (probably Moxica) has yet to be looked for at
this time and her information may be very useful in this search should I
find her records. ****

** **

I also have found that some records are unreadable because the ink has
faded so badly. I would hate to think that my ancestor is identified on
those pages and I will never see it.****

** **

I also noted that the number of mulatos baptized in Tamazula are abundant
in the late 1700's and absent in the 1800's. Were there efforts to
eliminate these distinctions in post-colonial Mexico?****

Thank you for any help****

Pinedo family tree

Hey everyone --

As I've been trying to put together a family tree of my Pinedo line, I was thinking that I should share my progress for any others doing Pinedo research.

It's still a work in progress, but here it is: http://texmexroots.blogspot.com/p/pinedo.html.

In addition to putting direct links to the documents at familysearch.org, I also have a comments section for outstanding research questions. For example, I've noticed that in Jerez, between 1760s to 1780s, there appear to have been 4 different Pinedo / Acuna couples having children. So I'm wondering if these may have been 4 brothers who married 4 sisters. If anyone has traced their roots to any of these Pinedo / Acuna couples, and gone beyond, please let me know.

Also, let me know if you have any ancestors who should be here.

Thanks,

Chris Pineda

Research Methods

Hello everyone!

I am new to this forum and would like to get some great tips on the best researching methods.
So far, I have been using "familysearch.org/mexico-genealogy" to get information.
I am fairly new to this and have learnt to be patient when searching through ledgers with
undecipherable handwriting. I would appreciate any tips or advice on what to do, or more importantly,
what not to do, in order to achieve the best results out there.
Thank you in advance and I hope to share my findings with you all soon!
Cheers!

Antonio Romo and Juana Olivo

I am a descendant of Antonio Romo and Juana Olivo who married abt 1870 in San Luis Potosi. I have heard an old family rumor that they ran away together to marry. I have not been able to find the parents of either of these two. As far as I know they only had one child, Claudio Olivo Romo abt 1874 in Corpus Christi. Can anyone point me in the right direction to continue my research? Lynnda Lee Romo

Nicolas de Anda Sanchez, Teocaltiche

I contacted George Farias of Borderland Bookstore, asking when he might obtain more copies of Nicolas de Anda Sanchez's books on Teocaltiche. He indicated that he has not been successful in contacting the author's son, Nick de Anda Sanchez, to make arrangements. He wonders whether he changed his email address. If anyone can help him out, I would appreciate it. (And/or let me know of any other source). George's email address is: gfarias@satx.rr.com

Libro Funadores de Nueva Galicia Tomo I by Garamedia

Gentlemen,

you are both welcome to any help I can provide in finding your Sanchez Castellanos line. The book Fundadores de Nueva Galicia Tomo I by Garamendia shows a Francisco Sanchez Castellano is in Tlaltenango before Nicolas on May 1st 1631.

Arriba esta una invitacion de Gary Felix (Pagina que maneja el ADN de Mexico y trata de conectarlos con los primeros conquistadores o familias fundadoras de la Nueva Galicia). Esta invitacion fue ya que segun el libro marca a un tal Francisco Sanchez Castellanos como uno de los primeros habitantes de Tlaltenango.

Yo tengo la genealogia de la descendencia de Juan Sanchez-Castellanos con Tomasina de Haro (AKA Tomasina de Saucedo) y no encuentro por ningun lado a ningun Francisco Sanchez-Castellanos, por lo que solicito su ayuda de si alguien que tenga el libro pudiera ayudarme a verificar esta informacion.

La idea es invitar a mas personas con el apellido Sanchez a hacerse la prueba de ADN y si comparten los mismos marcadores, orientarlos en su busqueda.

Actualmente existe otra persona de Nayarit que vive en Estados Unidos que coincide conmigo geneticamente y esta en esta busqueda.

Gracias.

SF Giants: Los Altos de Jalisco

Joseph,

I know his father is from Jalisco, therefore it's not such a stretch to think that he's from the Romo de Vivar family.

I have no objection to extending an invitation, I welcome it, we'd all love to help him with his genealogy.

I think he has a lot of personality. Growing up in Brawley Calif where his dad played ball in Mexicali, I'm sure he experienced a lot of prejudice, thus his choice of I just look illegal.

Subject: [Nuestros Ranchos] SF Giants: Los Altos de Jalisco

I'm a SF Giants fan and was wondering if Los Altos is the Epicenter of the
Romo de Vivar name. Is it very likely that historically Sergio Romo's
ancestors might come from Los Altos? Does anyone know if his genealogy has
been done? Would anyone object if I offered him an honorary membership in
the Nuestros Ranchos group? Hey maybe I could score an autographed ball or
something.

OR is the Romo de Vivar name just as strong in other areas of Mexico? Am I
stretching to think that Sergio could easily be a cousin to many members of
the group?

Did anyone notice his "I Just Look Illegal" T-shirt? (I just ordered one):

Las Haciendas del condado de San Mateo Valparaiso

Hello,
 
The Haciendas of the condado de San Mateo Valparaíso were sold to the families
that had previously managed  the Haciendas for the Condes de San MateoValparaíso
(Las Haciendas Pertenecientes al Mayorazgo de San Mateo Valparaíso.)
For example:
 
San Mateowas bought by the Llaguno family.
San Miguel was bought by the del Hoyo family.
San Antonio de Sauceda was bought by the Estenuo family
Del Valle, San Agustín, DelAstillero, and others bought by Felguéres family.
Purísima de Carrillo was bought by the Zamorafamily
San Juan Capistranowas bought by the Soto Robles family
San Antonio de Padua was bought by the SotoPalacios
Sauceda was bought by the Miranda family.
 
This last Hacienda Sauceda and neighboring town San José de Llanetes plays a
important role during the Cristeros War.  My grandfather, José Barrios de León
was born at the Hacienda of San José de Llanetes.  In December 1927, a very
anti-religious time, the local priest Mateo Correa Magallanes was asked to visit
Don José Miranda's (the dueño of Sauceda) mother. On the way they were stopped
by soldiers, the priest was denounced as a priest and sent to jail. Later he was
shot and killed for his faith.  He refused to share with the local general what
the prisoners had told him during confession.  He was made a saint by Pope John
Paul II on the 21 of May, 2000. His remains are located in the chapel of San
Jorge Mártir in the Cathedral of Durango City, Durango.
 
Can anyone recommend books/sources that might help me understand what life was
like on these haciendas.  Would families interact between haciendas? What about
the hacendado's lives? Are there any memoires of the de la Campa y Cos family
members?  I thank you in advance for your time.
 
Christopher Barrios de Leon

Registros de Los Altos

I am posting a link to a registry of images, by dates, for the towns in Los Altos. It is created by Armando Antuñano and is being posted with his permission. Anyone can use the link, and post new info. You will find the image #s down the first column, and the list of towns on the bottom row. I know this will be a time saver. Thanks again, Armando.
