Hola Members, if possible I need some understanding of Geronima Bernavides, wife of Francisco Paez.( In the book of Jose Luis Vazquez "Genealogia de Nochistlan" chapters 22 and 59.) In chapter 59 ,page 197 it states that Geronima Benavides is the daughter of Jeronimo Benavides and Catalina Cortes.In chapter 22,page 80 it states that Geronima Benvides is the daughter of Catalina Cortes (de quien se desconoce en nombre de su esposo). I am puzzled ,maybe my deficiency of the spanish language, I don't know. Another question -is besides Geronima Benavides, is Luis Benavides ,Catalina Cortes and Juan de Benavides siblings and from Jeronimo Benavides and Catalina Cortes.
thank you for your time

I wonder if that is San Martin De Bolanos

Dear Friends, Primos, and family:
Happy July 4th. As you celebrate this day, let me bring to your attention, the words of Judge Edward Butler, Past National President General of the Sons of the American Revolution, who writes in his newly published, Galvez/ Spain Our Forgotten Ally in the American Revolutionary War that . . .
"WITHOUT SPANISH ASSISTANCE DURING THE AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY WAR, WE WOULD STILL BE UNDER THE BRITISH FLAG.
17,000 Spanish troops and sailors fought the English in North America during the war.
Galvez army drove the English out of the lower Mississippi River by defeating them at Manchac, Baton Rouge & Natchez.
His Spanish army and militia defeated the English at St. Louis.
His Spanish army and militia captured the British fort with a warehouse of weapons, food and supplies at Fort St. Joseph at Niles, Michigan.
He led the attacks on Mobile and Pensacola and drove the British from the Gulf coast.
Spanish merchants supplied the colonists with arms, ammunition and supplies as early as 1774.
On one day the Spanish fleet captured 55 British ships, including 8 war ships, taking over 2,500 crewmen as prisoners."
Our Spanish ancestors were among those soldiers who fought for the freedom of this continent. Let us celebrate with pride in the contributions of our ancestors.
Enjoy sharing these facts.
God bless America and God bless Israel

while clemente acuna was wrong about maria rosales being a daughter of pedro cid caldera and maria carrillo (i've seen multiple documents stating that maria rosales's mom was agustina rosales and at least one stating her dad as miguel mateo rodarte), but considering that one part of this document i think like page 249 or 250 or something like that said that the carlos de godoys in taygua called the younger pedro cid 'tio'. because of that i can't help but think the rosales and cid caldera may be (distant like maybe 4-7 generations)relatives to the cid caldera.
Hola a todos:
Solicito una vez más su ayuda, espero puedan proporcionármela. Últimamente, he trabajado mucho en mi genealogía de los Altos y he podido avanzar algunas generaciones, estos son los datos que ojalá alguno de ustedes puedan tener acerca de la ascendencia de estas personas.
1. Los padres de Francisco de Alcalá y Mendoza casado con Cristina Jiménez de Castro, debieron haberse casado antes de 1700's aprox.
2. Los padres de Andrés de Atilano y Pascuala de Hermosillo, tienen un hijo bautizado en 1705 en Jalostotitlán, Jalisco.
3. Los padres de Victoriano de la Paz, casado con María Andrea Moreno, he buscado su acta matrimonial en Lagos de Moreno, San Juan de los Lagos, Jalostotitlán y San Diego de Alejandría y no los he encontrado. Su fecha de matrimonio debió haber sido antes de 1764. A Victoriano lo tengo como posible hijo de Francisco Alejo de la Paz y Mendoza y de Casilda del Carmen Gutiérrez Maciel, porque son padrinos de uno de sus hijos y por las edades podrían coincidir, lo malo es que no he encontrado una partida bautismal de algún Victoriano como hijo de ellos dos.
Les agradecería de antemano si pudieran aportarme su ayuda como anteriormente lo han hecho.
Saludos a todos.

i found this and felt like sharing it since it might have historical value
Does anyone know if there is a connection with the early Bobadilla Family from Colotlan and early Bobadilla Family from Tlaltenango.
Specifically, Antonio de Bobadilla (abt 1670) and Maria de Avila (abt 1675).
Their children:
Margarita de Bobadilla b: ABT 1690 Bolaños, Jalisco, Mexico
Joseph Andres de Bobadilla b: ABT 1693
Juan Pedro de Bobadilla b: ABT 1695
Nicolas de Bobadilla b: ABT 1697
Gertrudis de Bobadilla b: ABT 1700 Bolaños, Jalisco, Mexico
Antonio de Bobadilla b: ABT 1702
Maria Leonarda de Bobadilla b: ABT 1705
Much documentation has been done on Bobadilla from Tlaltenango from late 1500's to mid 1600's, and I wanted to know if they were related in any way.
One last thing, I found a "Defuncion Record" in Colotlan from 08/26/1736 for Antonio de Bobadilla from Cartagenas and was married to Maria Juana de Villa. Could this be the same person (Antonio de Bobadilla), and they perhaps mispelled wife's last name during this time of chaos when people were dying daily of Tabardillo.

I am seeking information about my 5th maternal grandfather, Jsp Martin de Pena. He was born abt. 1761, and was married to Maria Rufina Ximenez, 08 Nov 1761, in Teocaltiche, Jalisco. Any additional information would be appreciated.Thank you.
Estoy buscando el lugar exacto donde existia el Rancho Mesa de Vasquez durante el 1900. Ese rancho esta al cerca de Monte Escobedo, Zacatecas y Mezquitic, Jalisco. Mis Bisabuelos vivieron en ese rancho or cerca de el y me gustaría saber donde esta.
Gracias.
Does anyone know where Rancho Mesa de Vasquez was around the 1900's? My guess is that its somewhere between Monte Escobedo, Zacatecas and Mezquitic, Jalisco. My great grandparents lived in that area and would like to know exactly where it was.
Thank you
Just wondering why there are so many films forsaken by the borrowers and have never been finalized so that we members could access them?
Some of those films have been in that state for so many years. I assume they have been forsaken by the borrowers. Any chance anyone of us could help them index them?
How can we help "edit" some of them. The "edit" requires that we should either have the film or have it on permanent loan. With FamilySearch.org offering the film photos online, why is this requirement necessary? How do we go about adding/editing these films?

Does anyone have the ancestry of Cristobal de Medina? I was looking at
other Medina's in my tree and was curious if there is a connection between
Cristóbal de Medina and Luis de Medina Valdivia who married María de
Siordia? Could he be their son?

Buen día a todos,
Estoy buscando la geneologia de la Familia Colores, mi bisabuelo fue Mariano Colores se que residió en Zacatecas Ojo Caliente entre los años 1,900 a 1,910, agradecería mucho su apoyo en aportar información sobre este apellido.
Muchas Gracias!!
I would truly appreciate any help in finding Benito Torres and Felipa Rodarte marriage certificate. Benito Torres (1864) and Felipa Rodarte (1861). They may have married in Santa Maria de los Angeles, Colotlan, or Huejucar around 1879-1884. Thanks for your help.
For my fellow genealogists:
Maria de Islas y Sotomayor indicated in her will dated 8 Feb1713 that she and her late husband Agustin Lopez de la Cerda had five children(Felix Juan el mayor, Juan el menor, Agustina, Esteban and Antonio) and thatthey all married. Her testament can beaccessed online in the Aguascalientes archives.
Felix Juan el mayor age 29 married 6 Feb 1701 AGS to ElviraLopez Muñoz (aka Elvira de Cobos), hijalegitima de Miguel de Cobos and Teresa Lopes Muños. I stress hijalegitima because Elvira’s mother was deceased and her father was a priestwhen Elvira married. On that same day inAGS Juan el menor age 27 married Teresa Lopez Muñoz (aka Teresa de Cobos),sister of Elvira. When the brothersprovided their marriage information on January 17 and 18, 1701, one of theirwitnesses was Francisco Martin de Sotomayor, their primo hermano.
It appears that 1701 was a busy year for the Lopez de laCerda family. On 20 Dec 1701 the two youngerbrothers also gave information to marry. Esteban age 22 planned to marry Josepha Ramirez de Hermosillo. Antonio age 21 wanted to marry her sisterRosa Maria Ramirez de Hermosillo. Bothwomen were born and raised in Jalostotitlan and were the daughters of NicolasRamirez de Hermosillo (deceased) and Francisca Gutierrez de Barba. I assume they did marry although I do nothave the actual marriage dates.
Much of this data, including their ages, is available in the1699-1719 Marriage Information records of Cienega de Mata, Jalisco (Film640168). You can find them on FamilySearch. I'm reading off of an old Family Group Sheet and do not have internet links to give you.
So we have the two older brothers marrying sisters, as wellas the two younger brothers marrying sisters. As for the 5 Feb 1713 marriage of Juan to Anna Maria Muñoz de la Barba,I haven’t seen the document and assume it is his second marriage. And I wonder who that Antonio could be whomarried Josepha Alonso de los Hinojos in 1695. These are not my direct ancestors, so I don’t have extensive data. For that reason I do not have anything onAgustina.

Wondering if any one has taken a look at this dispensa. It's for Francisco's daughters Maria Jauregui, and Cathalina Chaves. It's very long
And I do not know what it says. I did not see any trees can someone please help.
It is in Katy's dispenses matrimonios 1690-1695, 1707,1709. 249-283 of 620 film 167980. You have to go into the 1700's to get to it, the 1600's indexes doesn't give you the right one.
Thank you much Lisa
Hola Members , I am researching a Maria Fermina Munoz -daughter of Herculano Munoz and Tiburcia Jimenez.
Maria Fermina Munoz born 08 of July 1908 in Aguascalientes ,Aguascalientes . Maria Fermina 's baptismal date is 19 of July in El Sagrario in Aguascalientes.
The problem is either I am slow or I am not looking in the right spot , I can't find El Sagrario -Aguascalientes in order to search for records.
I have been looking at Family Search Records -Church and Civil with no luck. Does anybody know where to look for El Sagrario -Aguascalientes or Civil Records.
I base my dates on a copy of a baptismal record of El Sagrario but I can't find them in the Familysearch web
Thank you for your time

Estimados miembros de NR,
Investigando mis antepasados Hernandez en Coahuila, el ultimo registro que tengo es el del siguiente matrimonio con fecha del 25/Sep/1818 en Parras, Coahuila:
Novio: Casildo Hernandez
Padres: Tomas Hernandez y Atanacia Gonzalez
Se menciona que eran originarios de Fresnillo (Zacatecas)
Novia: Maria de Jesus Garcia
Padres: Cosme Garcia y Martina Morales
Se menciona que eran originarios de Aguascalientes
Tendra alguien de Uds. informacion de estas familias?
El caso de Fresnillo de antemano se que no hay esperanza, con eso de que no hay informacion en lines de esas fechas.
Saludos y gracias de antemano por cualquier dato que me puedan aportar.

I am reading in the PARS website about the viaje to Mexico en 1712 by Juan Olivan De Rebolledo. I was interested in this word "Admirante" which then later found out it means "Admiral"
http://oi62.tinypic.com/6z4jyu.jpg
I found it in the pars website: http://www.archivesportaleurope.net/search/-/s/n
Reference: CONTRATACION,5466,N.2,R.30
Pg 11
I think the Admiral is Juan De Esteban De Ubilla. I looked him up which led me to this enlace:
http://censoarchivos.mcu.es/CensoGuia/fondoDetail.htm?archivoId=10&id=9…
I find a FamilySearch reference to a marriage in 1654 in Aguascalientes. Here is the link: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JHP1-LBC
But the first book in the menu for matriomonios is 1663-1702. Does anyone know how to get to the book before that one? Or is it not viewable? These 2 people are 10th-great grandparents - I would love to go back one more generation.
