Dear Marge,
My great-great-grandfather Antonio Frias Jasso moved to Tepic in 1848,
shortly after my great-great grandmother Refugio Ruiz de Esparza died in
Aguascalientes while giving birth to my great-grandmother Josefa Frias
Esparza. Josefa, her brother Antonio and her sisters Refugio, Virginia and
Natalia grew up in Tepic. Then in 1870 my great-grandmother married Wilhelm
L. Strecker, a German engineer. Three of their daughters were born in
Tepic. Wilhelm Strecker and Josefa Frias moved to Guatemala City in 1878,
where their son Guillermo was born in 1879. That child, Guillermo Strecker
Frías, was my grandfather. One of three daughters, María Teresa Strecker
Cabral, was my mother. I was also born in Guatemala, but now live in the
United States. That, in a nutshell, is where my Mexican ancestry starts. I
have traced the Ruiz de Esparza all the way back to Lope Ruiz de Esparza and
two generations before him. He arrived in Mexico City from Pamplona, Spain
in 1593.
My great-grandmother Josefa Frias Esparza lived in Tepic for approximately
31 years. I've found her family records without any difficulty, some at the
Cathedral in Tepic, others at the Archivo de la Sagrada Mitra de Guadalajara
and the rest at the Archivo Historico del Estado de Nayarit. My wife and I
have done extensive genealogical research on that side of the family,
including fact-finding trips to Tepic in 2003 and 2004, to Aguascalientes in
2006 and of course to Guatemala for many year, where we have close
relatives.
I've seen the surname Najar in several documents, but not in genealogical
records. Unfortunately, I don't have any relatives with that surname, so
I'm afraid I cannot be of any help in that department. Sorry Marge.
Regards,
Bill Figueroa
Can anyone tell me if Santa Rosalia is anywhere near AugaCalientes? I have Garcia family from that area, but I can't seem to find any record with the actual name of Santa Rosalia, except for the birth cert. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks Lupe

Hi Anna,
Below is the address for the bookstore where I bought "Los Españoles en
Aguascalientes durante la época colonial". I couldn't find the receipt, but
it'll be easy to find with this information.
The mall is known as "El Parián" and is located at the intersection of
"Francisco Rivero y Gutiérrez" and "Morelos" (Zona Centro). It is a 15
minute walk from the main plaza, the Cathedral and the Palacio Municipal.
Although everybody knows where "El Parián" is, your best bet is to take a
taxi cab from your hotel. Across the street is the beautiful "Templo de San
Diego", built between 1653 and 1682. A lot of history here. It is well
worth a visit and a good landmark to use as a reference point. Next to the
church is a building that was the convent of the franciscan friars, which
houses art exhibits (at the room "Jesús Gómez de Portugal").
As I recall, the bookstore at "El Parián" is on the ground level outside the
building. The phone number for "El Parián" is (449) 915-61-33. If you call
them ahead of time they can give you the bookstore's phone number and its
exact location at the mall.
I'll try to send you more info. about "Encomenderos y Hacendados 1534-1650"
this afternoon. Good luck and have a nice trip.
Bill
Hi Bill,
Do you mind telling me where in Aguascalientes did you buy the books mentioned, i will be in Aguascalientes in about 10 days,
Thank you

Subject: Re: [Nuestros Ranchos] Sancho de Renteria and Angela de Velasco
Message for Hector Felix, et al.
Hector,
In your message of October 19th you stated that you're a descendant of
Sancho de Renteria and Angela de Velasco. I'm not related, but I have an
interest in this family because of its connection with other families in
the region, more specifically to Angela Temiño de Velasco (aka Angela de
Velasco) married to Geronimo de Orosco. They lived in Aguascalientes. Here
is some information about Geronimo de Orosco from the book "Los Españoles en
Aguascalientes durante la época colonial - Origen, desarrollo e influencia
de una minoría" (1st Ed. 2002 pp. 51) by Prof. Jesús Gómez Serrano of the
University of Aguascalientes:
"La influencia ejercida por los inmigrantes en el incipiente pero crucial
desarrollo que se observa en la región de Aguascalientes durante la segunda
mitad del siglo XVI puede detectarse también de otras maneras. Si aceptamos
el valor de los símbolos en la historia, tendremos que conceder gran
importancia al hecho de que la cédula de fundación de la villa de
Aguascalientes haya sido firmada por el vasco Gerónimo de Orozco. En
diciembre de 1574, cuando Orozco asumió la presidencia de la Audiencia de
Guadalajara, recibió del rey instrucciones muy precisas en el sentido de
fortalecer la defensa de la frontera norteña. El mismo, como funcionario de
la Audiencia de México, había recorrido el camino que conducía a las minas
de Zacatecas, constatando la fragilidad de las rutas y los daños, muertes y
robos que hacían los indios chichimecos. Gerónimo de Orozco y su hermano
Juan Bautista, quien lo antecedió en el gobierno de la Audiencia de
Guadalajara, desempeñaron un papel fundamental en la colonización defensiva
de la frontera norteña."
And from the book "Encomenderos y Hacendados 1534-1650" (I don't remember
the name of the author, but can look it up if you'd like):
"Uno de los carreteros mas activos entre 1615 a 1622 fue Gerónimo de Orozco,
descendiente de los primeros pobladores y conquistadores de la Villa de
Aguascalientes, heredó de su abuela doña María de Ortega sitios de ganado
mayor. Los hijos de Gerónimo de Orozco y Angela de Velasco fueron 3 hombres
y 3 mujeres (...)
Apparently the Gerónimo the Orosco that lived in Aguascalientes was the son
of the Governor of the Audiencia de Guadalajara. I'm still not convinced
but I know that they were an important family in early Aguascalientes.
Angela de Temiño y Velasco was a native of the "Villa de los Lagos" in
Jalisco. Any information about the connection between the Angela de Velasco
married to Sancho de Rentería, and Angela Temiño de Velasco (aka Angela de
Velasco) married to Gerónimo de Orosco will be appreciated.

For Yolanda and others,
Below is a link to an article (and other links) with expert guidance
on increasing the longevity of documents, and proper preservation of
valuable and often irreplaceable family history photographs and papers.

As an aside, almost without exception, the thousands of people who lost
their homes to the recent fires that ravaged some of our areas in Southern
California mourned as their "heaviest loses" the destruction of family
records and keepsakes.
Let's all learn how to keep our family records safe for our own sakes, and

Hi everyone it has been awhile since I have been online. We found out about a month ago my mother has colon cancer, so taking care of my parents comes first. In visiting with them one day my father told me that he found his fathers birth certificate and baptismal cert. from mexico. So my question to you is
Should I laminate it to keep it from turning yellow or do I leave it as is.

John Schmal has joined the group. John doesn't have roots in our area of
research but has done extensive research for others in our area of
Jalisco, Zacatecas, and/or Aguascalientes. He will be submitting some of
the work he has done for others as his representative genealogy. John
will be a great addition to the group because when you describe him as a
"serious" researcher you need to use a capital "S" in the word "Serious."
welcome to the group John,

Hello Everyone!
I wondered if anyone knew where Chupadero or Chupaderos is? Its the first time I have found it in my family history. I found it in the Baptisimo records for San Jose, Ojuelos de Jalisco. Is it in Zacatecas, Jalisco or San Luis Potosi?
Thank you.

> Bienvenido al grupo Rodolfo,
No se si llegemos a emparentar, pero es posible. El apellido Sanchez es el
de mi abuelo paterno. Tambien tengo otras lineas con este apellido y todos
son de Los Altos de Jalisco. Algunos usaban el apellido compuesto de
Sanchez de Porras y despues de los 1800s simplemente Sanchez. Algunos eran
de la Hacienda del Carrizo, otros del Rancho del Flaco y de San Juan de los
Lagos. En fin, este apellido figura prominentemente en mis estudios de los
ultimos 7 años. Si gustas revisa mi archivo en Nuestros Ranchos.
Tengo una pregunta acerca de los Hidalgo y Costilla. ¿Me imagino que te
refieres a la familia del Cura Miguel? Hace tiempo otro genealogista me
paso unos datos de la genealogia materna de Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla. La
madre de el descendia de Fernando de la Mora y Maria Zamora que son
ancestros mios. Perdi los datos que nunca llegue a verificar y ahora tengo
esa curiosidad de investigar este asunto. Te agradesco cualquier informacion
que tengas al respecto.
Saludos cordiales,

Hi,
I'm new to nuestros ranchos so I hope I am writing to the correct address and in the correct language (if I'm not I apologize).
I've been working in my family history for 3 years now but mainly in Yucatán and Galicia from where my father's family came from.
Now I've started researching my mother's and my wife's side.
My wife is from Guadalajara and her family came from Atotonilco el Alto, Ayotlán, Mesa del Pino and nearby towns and rancherias, the surnames I'm researching are:
Gutierrez
Flores
Alvarez
Lopez
Ramirez
Rodriguez
Solorio
Villalpando
Besides, from my mother's side, my great grandfather Rafael Robles Montenegro (it seems it was a compounded surname) was "natural" of Guadalajara (other sources say that from Ameca), married to Cipriana Montes de Oca.
Even though I'm still starting with my Nueva Galicia's lines I hope I will be of some help to you all.
Regards,
Jorge Gomez Montenegro
P.D. If I should be writing to some other address or in Spanish please let me know.

Just got this press release in: Get involved, if they get even more
people working on this than the 10,000 indexers they are seeking, the
projects described will be completed that much faster. Some do more
than just one batch a week, sometimes much more, how much one does is
up to you. The website to sign up to do indexing and download the
software mentioned is at this link:
http://www.familysearchindexing.org/
Works best in Windows XP but I'm doing it on a Windows 2000 Pro
machine. Mac and Linux users are also doing indexing as well. The
software download is just under 29 megabytes, so you may have to wait
a while if you are on dialup. A batch downloads in about 3 minutes on
dialup also. You can finish a batch on more than one computer, as you
can save your work to the servers as you go. That way, you can do it
on any computer you have the software installed on at any time.
SALT LAKE CITY - FamilySearch - the world's largest repository of
genealogical records - is calling for 10,000 volunteers who can read
both English and Spanish to help index Mexican, Argentine and other
Latin American records for the Internet.
FamilySearch is embarking on a massive initiative to digitally
preserve and index millions of Latin American records that are now
difficult to access because they are located on microfilm or in an
archive.
The first target is the Mexican census of 1930. People interested in
finding their ancestors in that census now have to hunt among 506
rolls of microfilm at a special library. When the project is finished
within about one year from now, people with Mexican ancestry will be
able to search for relatives easily from their computers at home.
The project is being launched in cooperation with the National
Archives of Mexico.
Paul Nauta, manager of public affairs for FamilySearch, said the
volunteers could spend as little as 30 minutes a week indexing records
from their home computers. Volunteers should register at
FamilySearchIndexing.org, which will allow them to download one batch
(one census page) at a time. Volunteers simply type in the information
highlighted on the digital image. Each batch should take about 30
minutes.
The completed product will be a free, fully searchable online index of
the 1930 Mexico Census, and it will be linked to the original images
at FamilySearch.org. Digital images of the original census can be
viewed currently at FamilySearchLabs.org.
"The 1930 census project will be the first fully indexed census for
Mexico," Nauta said. "When finished, the database will be a tremendous
asset to family historians with Mexican roots."
Nauta said that census records are especially valuable because they
include a large portion of the population and can provide details
about individuals which may not be available on some church and civil
records.
"The 1930 Mexico Census is priceless to genealogists because it is the
most recent, publicly accessible census for Mexico. It can provide an
ancestor's age, birth year, religion, birthplace and occupation,
explain an individual's relationship to family members and provide
other family information," Nauta added.
The 10,000 bilingual indexers will be added to a growing army of
volunteers that will soon top 100,000, well ahead of year-end targets.
Over the past months, FamilySearch has been preparing digital images
of the various census pages and many other records for placement on
the Internet. However, without an index for the material, family-tree
enthusiasts would still have to go through the pages one-by-one
looking for their ancestors.
"Once indexed, the records are searchable in seconds, just like
looking up a name in a phone book - except quicker, easier and
online," Nauta said.
The 1930 Mexico Census marks the first Latin American project for the
Web-based FamilySearch Indexing program. In addition, FamilySearch
indexers just completed the Argentina census of 1895 and will soon
start on that country's 1855 census.
A four-year project to digitize historical land and property documents
and wills in Paraguay has just begun, and civil records in Nicaragua
will become part of the indexing program within 30 days.
FamilySearch is a nonprofit organization sponsored by The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, whose members consider it a
religious obligation to identify their families. FamilySearch
maintains the world's largest repository of genealogical resources,
accessible through FamilySearch.org, the Family History Library in
Salt Lake City and over 4,500 family history centers in 70 countries.

Hello everybody. It's been a long time since I posted a message on the group. It's been extremely busy. Anyways, I'm just writing to announce (y presumir) that I just added a new generation to my family tree. My daughter Natalie Itzel Apodaca was born on October 11, 2007 in Winston-Salem, NC. She weighed 7 lbs and 1.6 ounces, and measured 20 inches. My wife and I are so happy! Well, I just thought about writing it in this forum, even though there are lots of new members since the last time I posted a message and most haven't read me before.

Welcome to the group Hope.
Your message caught my interest because I started my research in the same
parrish of Ixtlahuacan del Rio. Both of my parents were baptized there. I
recognized the names of all the towns you mention as well as the surnames,
which are very common in the area. My ancestors were from a rancho called
San Nicolás de los Abundis. The nearest church is the one in Ixtlahuacan
del Rio, so they were married and baptized there. Prior to 1800, I had
order the microfilms from Cuquio. I don't have a record of your gggg
grandparents, but I do find a lot of those surnames in my PAF database.
Please take a look at my files and see if you find any common lines. I look
forward to exchanging info with you.

Hello, I am Hope Gonzalez Martin. I am first generation Mexican American, my parents were both born on the Rancho Buena Vista, Jalisco, as were many of my grandparents and relatives. I am concentrating on my Father's family. I have been able to trace my grandparents back to my gggg grandfather Jose Gertrudis Gonzales. I have used the local library of the LDS to obtain copies of birth,christening and marriage recordings. I think my gggg grandfather Jose Gertrudis was from Spain, the earliest recording I have of him is that he was a witness at my ggggg grandparent marriage in 1802 in the town of Tacotlan, Jal.
Jose Gertrudis was married to Barbara Peres. The ggggg grandparents that he was a witness for were Jose Calletano Peres, he is listed as Espanol and his bride Juana Munos(z) as Mullata, she was born to Xaiver Munoz and Antonia De Olea on Feb 19, 1776 in the town of Cuquio, Jal.
This is where my research ends and where I hope to learn more from all of you who have more research experience than I. I also hope that I can be of help to the other members who have less experience in research
Hello Everyone!
Does anyone have the batch numbers for Births for la Iglesia San Bautista, San Juan de los Lagos and for San Miguel el Alto, Jalisco with the years starting at 1882 to 1900.
Thank you for any help!

Regarding the use of informacion matrimonial records: I feel obligated to point out to new researchers that occasionally these may contain questionable or inaccurate information. In other words, don’t believe everything you read. Ages are not always accurate, people are not necessarily born in the place stated, and a “parent” may actually be a stepparent, or the groom (or bride) is someone’s hijo/a natural, raised in ignorance of this fact.
Even with the “right” father and mother as given in the informacion matrimonial, there have been times I still couldn’t find my missing ancestors. From experience I’ve learned to first research baptisms in all the given places and parishes, then all possible places and parishes within the right years, and to list possible siblings according to age and birth date, allowing at least 10 months between them. When this doesn't work, then I research other possible given names and family groups.
I wish someone had pointed this out to me when I first started research, it would have saved me several wasted years.

Hello Everyone!
On the list of films to ask for from San Juan de los Lagos there are different choices for marriage.
I just wonder what is the difference between them. Does one have more info then another?
These are the choices:
Informacion matrimonial
Dispensas matrimoniales
Diligencias matrimoniales
Exortos matrimoniales
Matrimonios
I don't want to loose out on any info if each of these contain different information. Which is better?
Thanks!

I know I have gone out there with this question before but our membership has grown quite a bit over the last year and so I will ask once again to see if I get any takers...
Are there any members out there who have programming experience, particularly PHP/MySQL that would like to participate in the technical maintenance of the site?
For the most part the site runs without too many problems but once in a while there is a glitch or one of the volunteers that monitors/manages membership or some other aspect of the site needs some custom programming done to make their life easier. I am also thinking of upgrading the site at some point to improve security, performance and perhaps add some functionality.
The more we distribute the responsibility for the site the more successful it will be.
Please contact me personally if you are interested.
