Soy descendiente de Alonso Velasco y de Ana Flores de la Torre, los dos residentes en Juchipila. Alonso Velasco heredó a su hijo, Bernabe Velasco, tierras en el lugar que era en aquel entonces llamado Valle de Huejucar/Huejucar/Guajucar/Guejucar y que ahora se le llama Calvillo en el Estado de Aguascalientes. Me interesa mucho encontrar el testamento de Bernabe Velasco y los testamentos de sus herederos también. He consultado el acervo histórico digital de Aguascalientes y no hay información sobre Bernabe Velasco. Podría alguien orientarme sobre el lugar en donde probablemente podría encontrar la información que necesito?

Hola prim@s,

I was reading through the IM of Geronimo Magdaleno and Rosa de Figueroa San Anton, 4 Oct 1690, Tangancicuaro, Mich. Geronimo Magdaleno was son of Tomas Magdaleno and Juana Chavez, and Rosa de Figueroa was daughter of Joseph Figueroa San Anton and Juana de Torres.

According to testimonies, there was concern that there might be an impediment: that Tomas Magdaleno and Joseph de Figueroa, fathers of the groom and bride, were cousins. Joseph Figueroa had told Geronimo Magdaleno that his father was the sibling of the great-grandfather of Tomas Magdaleno. Tomas Magdaleno was son of Diego Magdaleno cc Lorenza de Ovalle Liebana, and Joseph de Figueroa was son of Pedro de San Anton Figueroa cc Geronima de Liebana, so the relationship was probably through Lorenza and Geronima. Several witnesses were brought in, but no one knew what the exact relationship was, only that they always called each other “primo” and treated each other as such. In the end, it was decided that the relationship was too distant, and that a dispensa wasn’t necessary.

But of super interest, are the witnesses that Tomas Magdaleno presents: Tomas de Bejar 60, Juan de Bejar 58, and Francisco de Bejar 54. All three recognize that they are primos hermanos of Tomas Magdaleno. The Bejar boys were sons of Gregorio de Bejar y Sandoval and Maria de Liebana. The relationship is obviously through Lorenza de Ovalle Liebana and Maria de Liebana, establishing them as sisters.

From various dispensations, we know that Maria de Liebana was sister of (please correct me if I’m wrong):
- Agustin Maciel cc Ynes Rodriguez de Morfin
- Juan Asencio de Leon cc Maria de Lomelin

When her son, Gregorio de Bejar, was witness on the IM of Francisco Gomez de Lara and Juana de Liebana, daughter of Alvaro Maciel cc Ysabel de Orozco, he said that he was primo hermano de Juana, and that that Alvaro Maciel was his uncle. Alvaro Maciel was the son of Juan Asencio de Leon cc Geronima de Liebana.

All of this would imply that Lorenza de Oballe y Liebana cc Diego Magdaleno was also a daughter of Juan Asencio de Leon cc Geronima de Liebana.

As it stands, and please correct me if I’m wrong, the children of Juan Asencio de Leon cc Geronima de Liebana are:

- Agustin Maciel cc Ynes Rodriguez de Morfin
- Nicolas Maciel cc Geronima de Ayala y de la Cueva (possibly Beatriz de Vargas y Ulloa en 2o?)
- Lorenza de Oballe Liebana cc Diego Magdaleno
- Alvaro Maciel cc Ysabel de Orozco y Zamora y del Castillo
- Maria de Liebana cc Gregorio de Bejar y Sandoval
- Juan Asencio de Leon cc Maria de Lomelin
- Geronima de Liebana cc Tomas Hernandez Gamiño
- Josepha Asencio de Leon cc Joseph Tello y Orozco
- Anna de Liebana cc Nicolas de Murguia
- Nicolasa de Liebana cc Juan Basilio Ruiz de Velasco
- Pedro Asencio de Leon Blancarte cc Anna de Zamora y Ontiveros

Some of that is from baptism and marriage records, as well as from dispensas for descendants. That’s a lot of children, and covering almost 3 decades, from what I can tell from their individual timelines and known baptism dates!

And now, from the Geronimo Magdaleno cc Rosa de Figueroa IM, we know that Geronima de Liebana cc Juan Asencio de Leon is somehow related to Geronima de Liebana cc Pedro de San Anton Figueroa, who from other records, we know is sister of Maria de Liebana aka Maria de Tapia cc Antonio Jimenez Calderon (my guess is these two are daughters of Juan de Tapia and Geronima de Liebana. Anybody?). According to Joseph Figueroa, the relationship would more or less look like this:

???????????????-1-Geronima de Liebana
Geronima de Liebana-2-Joseph de Figueroa
Lorenza de Oballe-3-Rosa Maria de Figueroa
Tomas Magdaleno-4
Geronimo Magdaleno-5

Possibly, Juan de Tapia and Geronima de Liebana are the tronco of that tree. Anybody?

My brain hurts.
Manny Díez Hermosillo

PS The Geronimo Magdaleno cc Rosa de Figueroa is scattered throughout the film roll, but it’s mapped out on the Valladolid Dispensas website (which I didn’t discover until later!! But great work, y’all!).

Hello,
I am looking for information on my Gonzalez/Loza family from Canadas de Obregon. My great grandparents are Francisco "Pancho Bigotes" Gonzalez Gama and Juana Loza Aguayo. They had 5 children together; Eduviges, Manuel, twins Agapito & Guadalupe, and Santos Gonzalez. They lived in Rancho El Cerro Viejo in 1930 and might have lived in Rancho El Pandito. I am also wondering if anyone knows how to research criminal records or newspaper records (if any at that time) from that area.

I have not been able to find any close related relatives that might still be in that area nor have I been able to find any traces or documents for some relatives after the 1940's. I would really appreciate any help! Thank you.

Good day.

I am Sandra Garza Aceves, a new member. I am grateful for the opportunity to join the forum. It immensely helpful in my investigation and I am eager to learn more.

I am currently investigating. Francisco Antonio Gallaga, son of Juan de San Pedro Gallaga and Joaquina de Villaseñor and María Inés de la Torre, daughter of Cristóbal de la Torre and María Margarita de Aceves. Kindly find the link to the marriage record below(Tepatitlán, 1764).

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-KMS6-D6?i=347&wc=3J8D-…

I have several questions. Is this Francisco Antonio the brother of Doña Ana María Gallaga Mandarte y Villasenor? I may be incorrect, yet I thought she was an only child.

Did María Inés de la Torre also use the name María de Jesús? Could she be the mother of Gertrudis Gallaga, born in 1769 in Tepatitlán
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-VRCL-8?i=81&wc=3JZD-PT…)?

I would greatly appreciate any direction you could provide.

Un cordial saludo

Hello forum.

In searching for the origin of the last name Martin de Liebano - seen in many records in la villa de Zamora over the entire XVIII century - I found that the parents of the earliest Martin de Liebano are Juan Martin Barragan (Priest, b.1627-d.1694) and Tomasina de Liebano (d.1678. The widow of Luis del Rio, the daughter of Agustin Maciel and the granddaughter of Juan Maciel and Ana de Liebano).

Any help in confirming/denying this assertion is appreciated.

I.-Tomasina de Liebano - The mother of the Martin de Libanos

One of the earliest Martin de Liebano is Jose. Jose married his first cousin Maria Arias Maldonado.

1.1 - Jose and Maria marriage dispensation

Jose says that his illegitime (natural) father Juan Martin de Barragan was the brother of the deceased regidor Nicolas Martin Barragan and Nicolas was the father of Maria.

The 2nd. witness (Mateo Marquez de la Mora) says he knows that Jose is the son of the deceased Tomasina de Liebano and that jose was born when Tomasina was already a widow.

Tomasina was buried 17 May 1678. The record states she was single and that she was the widow of Luis del Rio.

Jose was christened 23 Apr 1665. Oddly, the record only says "hijo de Tomasina de Liebano", without the usual "y de padre no conocido".

Two more marriage dispensations identifying Tomasina de Liebano:

1.2 - Jose Martin de Liebano (Tomasina's grandson) and Maria Ana de la Serna

                                      Family tree

                  Agustin Maciel - 1 - Maria Maciel + [ Gregorio de Bejar ]

                         Tomasina - 2 - Cristobal de Bejar
                       Luis del Rio - 3 - Juana de Bejar
               Francisco del Rio - 4 - Josefa Hurtado de Riofrio

Besides Jose and Agustin Martin de Liebano (Tomasina's children above), there were two more Martin de Liebano siblings, they were Juan and Leonor Martin de Liebano. They are listed in this marriage dispensation:

1.4 - Jose Rafael de Arceo and Mariana Ramirez

                                     Family tree

                           Tomasa - 2 - Diego Arceo

II - Juan Martin Barragan - The father of the Martin de Liebanos

Greetings,

I know the following record is not from the area that we discuss on the forum but I still have a general question for the group.

In the baptismal record for Antonia Rosa (c. 24 Feb 1788) it states: "Fueron sus Padrinos que la tubieron de Pila Juan . . ."

I am aware that "padre de pila" means godfather/godparents, but I was wondering if any of you knew of any other meaning for it. I just find it repetitive that the record would state that "X's godparents were so and so who were the godparents."

Many thanks!

P.S. Also any help deciphering the godfather's middle name would be appreciated.

HOla,

Estoy buscando cualquier informacion acerca de la familia SALINAS procedente "de la cienega". Luis Salinas se caso en Colotlan en 1687 (con Catharina Viana); pero el documento no incluye el nombre de sus padres. El documento dice que venia de la "cienega".

Cualquier informacion sobre "la cienega" (me imagino que Jalisco)
o la familia Salinas de esta zona

Gracias de antemano

Hola a todos,
Quería saber si ustedes tienen el dato de esta información que aparece en uno arbol de GENI respecto a este personaje del que ya se ha abordado hace años

https://www.geni.com/people/Pedro/6000000010181432509

ESTA ES LA IMAGEN https://photos.geni.com/p13/4e/e7/03/59/5344484f7b065fd4/f0e4882f-58d1-…

La dicha imagen hace referencia a un documento donde se asienta a los padres y a abuelo paternos, parece ser de PARES por las marcas de agua, pero ya he buscado y rebuscado y no encuentro nada.

Does anyone recall where in Mexico, in the early settlement days. that there were some documents in the churches serving indigenous people that were in the language of the Indians of that locality? I know I saw them somewhere, but I don't remember where

Can someone point me in the right direction?

I'm helping a friend research his family. However, he seem to find no records for the following cathedral in Mexico City...The Cathedral del Senor del Santo Sepulcro. Is there a way to search Familysearch.org by church? Is there another resource I can utilize? Thankyou in advance.

Do we have a list of all the films that Jaime Holcombe contributed to familysearch.org? I have come across some, but I don't know if I've seen a comprehensive list.

Hello everyone,

I would like to hear your thoughts from those of you whose research has taken them beyond Zacatecas and Jalisco and into Spain. I am currently researching a couple of ancestor families, Velasco and Alvarez de Asturias, and exhausted PARES research. I came across what appear to be old manuscripts written from 1695 to late 1700’s. These books have a wealth of information in regards to family trees, but they sometimes contradict each other. For example, there may be entire generations mentioned in one book and not the other. Or the parent of the same individual is completely different from one text to the other. I don’t expect you guys to read the entire chapters because there is just too much info and difficult to follow without putting in time.

I guess my only question, how reliable are these old manuscripts as a source of information and research?

Here are some of the links to these books.

Could a forum member please help me read the parents names of Francisco Suarez de Ibarra. The names are about halfway down the first page. I can make out the mother "Juana Suarez" but I cannot read the father's name. Thank you!

http://pares.mcu.es/ParesBusquedas/servlets/ImageServlet?accion=41&txt_…

In my research, I have encountered a baptism record that indicates a child (possibly my 3rd G-grandfather) was abandoned at the house of a woman in Guadalajara in 1781. The record provides the child's first and middle names but omits any mention of parents or even godparents. At some later time, the child would have been given a surname. Was this name assigned by the Church? Or, if the child's father eventually stepped up and acknowledged the child as his, how would the family name be established: by Church action or by civil action? Where (if anywhere) would such action be recorded? Thanks for any assistance you can provide with my request.

Hola prim@s,

Here’s my work on another family who used the Alcocer surname, appearing in Mexico near the end of the 16th century.

Brothers Alonso de Alcocer Belfelt and Juan de Colonia Belfelt were from Sevilla, Spain; from them would descend families who used the surnames Alcocer and Colonia, who lived in Mexico City, Penjamo Gto and in Patzcuaro Mich.

Alonso de Alcocer and Juan de Colonia were sons of Conrado Belfelt de Colonia and Leonor de Alcocer, of Sevilla. Leonor de Alcocer was said to descend from the “illustrious and noble house of Alcocer of Spain”; she was daughter of Alonso Sanchez de Jerez and Beatriz de Toledo, merchants, who lived on Calle de Catalanes in Sevilla. I don’t know which of them descends from the Alcocer, since I’ve done no work on that line. Maybe one of you has a lead?

Conrado Belfelt de Colonia was born in Cologne, Germany, so “Colonia” is a toponym (during his lifetime, native sevillanos would call him “el Flamenco,” thinking he was from Flanders). He was said to descend from the illustrious and noble house of “Belfelt” (also spelled “Berfelt” in some documents). I consulted with a Spanish cousin of mine, who lives in Germany, and who translates and transcribes texts and books between German and Spanish, and we think that “Belfelt” is an hispanization of “Welser” (usually spelt and pronounced “Belzer” and “Belzar,” in old Castilian texts). The Welser were a powerful family of bankers and merchants from Germany, active in Spain and its territories during the Hapsburg era. This would make sense, as Conrado Belfelt was a merchant - he sold nails and mercantile in his shop, located on Calle de Carpinteria, parish of San Salvador, in Sevilla. He was highly regarded in his community, lived in a very prominent house (with several servants), and was apparently the head of a German merchants guild; members used to “take off their hats,” when in his presence, underlining his noble pedigree. He was murdered while returning from a farm that he owned, his body found by the city walls of Sevilla. He might have died intestate, since their two sons migrated to Mexico. They also had a daughter named Beatriz or Ynes, who remained in Sevilla and who was married to a “fulano” Martinez.

The earliest documentation I’ve found for this family is Juan de Colonia’s 1578 petition to travel to Mexico (PARES/AGIS). His brother Alonso was already living there. In his petition, Juan includes a letter that his brother had written him, dated 10 Dec 1577; Alonso describes his arrival, and contracting “a chapetonada, which kills 1/3 of all those who arrive here from Spain.” From the sound of it, Alonso likely arrived a couple of months before he wrote his brother. He encourages Juan to join him and to try his luck, since “you have no father nor mother, and they left us with no inheritance.” My favorite part, is where he quotes a popular refrain: “Quien adelante no mira, atrás se halla”: “he who does not look ahead, will be left behind.” That really captures the spirit of these brave men and women!

On a side note, I also noticed Juan de Colonia’s address on the letter, and on a whim, I checked it out, to see where he was living: “la calle del atocha, casa de los fucares en madrid.” I absolutely got goosebumps! The Fucares - or “Fuggar,” “Fúcar” in Spanish - were another powerful family of bankers & merchants from Germany, with strong ties to the Emperor Carlos V. Their palace in Madrid no longer stands, but it was located on the corner of Calle Atocha and Calle de Fúcar (named for them) - just 2 blocks away from my current home in Madrid!!! I got chills, thinking that a possible ancestor of mine lived so near to me, 4 centuries ago!!!

Alonso de Alcocer and Juan de Colonia managed to establish themselves in Mexico; they had connections with viceroys Luis de Velasco, Gaspar de Zuñiga, and Diego Fernandez de Cordoba, all who awarded them land grants, governmental posts, and other favors. Alonso also received letters of recommendation from the Marquesa de Guadalcazar (Mariana Riederer von Paar, wife of Viceroy Diego Fernandez de Cordoba), her sister, la Condesa de Barajas (Maria Sidonia Riederer von Paar, Lady in Waiting for Queen Margarita de Austria) and la Duquesa de Valhermosa (Maria Luisa de Aragon y Wernstein), revealing strong ties with the Royal Court in Madrid - “la Madrid de las Austrias.” Notable is the fact that all three women were of German nobility - like Alonso & Juan.

Both Alonso de Alcocer and Juan de Colonia appear in Actos de Cabildo del Ayuntamiento de la Ciudad de Mexico in the early 1600’s; they were involved in tribute collection - Juan de Colonia served as “arrendatario de la sisa del vino” - the wine tax. This fits in with him living with and likely working for the Fucares in Madrid. Alonso was said to own some mills around Mexico City, as well as cattle haciendas in the province of Michoacan (likely, Penjamo, where his descendants would live. The Colonia’s of Patzuaro owned a hacienda in Valle de Taramequaro, Mich).

Here’s what I have on thee two branches:

ALCOCER - Mexico City & Penjamo

Alonso de Alcocer married Maria de Herrera Contreras on 29 Jan 1582; she was from Zacatecas, Zac; daughter of Gaspar Rodriguez de Contreras (of Pedroche, Cordoba) and Isabel Mendez de Herrera (of Zamora, Castilla y Leon). They had two children that I know of:

1. Juan de Alcocer, b. 10 Jul 1586, Mexico City.
2. Beatriz de Alcocer, b. 28 May 1590, Mexico City.

GENERATION II

Their son, Juan de Alcocer, was contador del Santo Oficio and later, tesorero de la Real Caja y de la Santa Cruzada. He married Guimar Davalos y Bocanegra, daughter of Diego de Bocanegra Cervantes y Villaseñor cc Maria de Verdugo y Avalos.

From them would descend the Alcocer y Bocanegra’s who lived in Penjamo:

Hello,

I'm looking for any information about Pedro Alvarez de Navia. He was a resident of Tlaltenango about 1640-1650. The only thing that I know is that he was the "nephew" of Francisca de Molina "su tia" (Tapia or Bobadillo) wife of Antonio Vela. Both were godparents in a baptism in Tlaltenango where the relationship was stated. I want to understand how he was related to Francisca

Thank you in advance

Hello everyone!

I am wondering what age range were the term parvulo in the XVII century? I thought it was toddlers but I've read on different books that it would include children as old as 7....

What do you think?

Hello,
New theory about the parents of Juan de la Torre (married to Juana de Gamboa)
I'm still working with land records. I'm submitting the following information:
This is the history of EL MESQUITE in Jerez Zacatecas. (documented)
1. Initially the land was purchased by Miguel Caldera 1592
2. Miguel Caldera trades the land with his son in law Juan de la Torre Valdes (married to Ysabel Caldera) 1596
3. Juan de la torre takes posession in 1630
4. Heirs of Juan de la torre take posession in 1644 (Sebastian, Pedro, Diego and Juana de Gamboa)

EXPLANATION:
It is clear that the first Juan de la Torre Valdes is the one married to Ysabel Caldera. In the document Juan de la Torre Valdes is refered as the "yerno" of Miguel Caldera.
Now the problem is the 34 years between the second document and the third document. It is clear that the one that takes posession in 1630 is Juan de la Torre Valdes (married to Juana de Gamboa), because on document fourth the heirs are the sons and wife of Juan de la Torre Valdes (married to Juana de Gamboa). The document doesnt explain why (or how) it took posession, but it was clearly a transfer. I believe that the reason is that JUAN DE LA TORRE VALDES (MARRIED TO JUANA DE GAMBOA) IS THE SON OF JUAN DE LA TORRE VALDES (MARRIED TO YSABEL CALDERA). This theory will explain the 34 years between the land exchange and when the second Juan de la Torre took possession. Another clue to me is that clearly the transfer wasn't a purchased (in the first purchased of the land by Miguel Caldera was even marked how much Caldera paid for the land)

Any comments??

Hi,

I found a padron from 1861 when the municipal of Degollado was created.
I'm not sure how to attached a pdf file to this site. If someone can tell me how to attach it I can share it.

Thank you,
Esther
