First of all I want to give so much thankfulness to a good friend Ruben of nuestrosranchos for locating this difunto record of my GGGGGGG Grandmother Maria De La Candelaria (1655 - 1735) who is the wife of my GGGGGGG Grandfather Antonio Madera (1660 - 1709?). They were at Minillas of Mezquitic, Jalisco, Mexico.

This is a copy of the defunto record found on page 43 of "Defunciones (1712 - 1770)" on the LDS Records of San Juan Bautista Church of Mezquitic, Jalisco, Mexico:

http://oi57.tinypic.com/6iws2f.jpg

Says she passed away in 1735 at the age of 80 wife of Antonio Madera. Made a testamento before La Justicia De La Jurisdicion at "Monte Escobedo"

Note: Monte Escobedo is a small village way up on the mountain that overlooks the whole valley. When your up there at Monte Escobedo, the panoramic view you have, Mezquitic looks like a tiny cluster of buildings in the open field and the valley.

Says, "tenia la edad de arriba de ochenta anos que fue la mayor accidente y recidia en la lavor de Minillas"

Seems she was older than 80 years since the comment "arriba de ochenta anos" but I don't understand what is meant by "que fue la mayor accident"

Thank you all so much and I have so much gratitude to nuestroranchos members for the invaluable information you have provided me with finding generations farther back.

Hola apreciados primos.. por fin logre subir a la red el censo a que hago mencion en el espacio destinado a Asunto. Esta completo. Si alguien tiene problemas para verlo hagamelo saber y con todo gusto veremso la forma de que lo vea.

Hola a todos, primeramente que nada les deseo un feliz año.

Ahora en vacaciones tuve la oportunidad de retomar mis investigaciones genealógicas, extender algunas ramas y obtener pistas para algunas otras.

Una familia que me inquieta por lo que recientemente descubrí es la de los Pérez de Alencastre de Jalisco, concretamente de Tecolotlán de la cual posiblemente alguno de ustedes desciende.

El primero de este apellido por una rama fue Don Diego Pérez de Alencastre, casado con Doña María Ruiz de Contreras, allá por los últimos años del siglo XVII. Este Diego pienso yo que es hijo de Manuel Antonio Enríquez o Pérez de Alencastre, esposo de Juana Beltrán Dorantes, de quien de todos modos desciendo por su hija Angela, esposa de Don Juan Fregoso.

Ahora bien, lo más curioso del asunto es que los portadores del apellido Alencastre, todos descienden de un hijo natural pero reconocido del Rey Juan II de Portugal, que se llamó Jorge de Lencastre, en honor al apellido de su bisabuela Doña Felipa de Lancaster, nieta del Rey Eduardo III de Inglaterra. De este Jorge de Lencastre descienden todos los Lencastre y Alencastre, que es la versión hispanizada. Un ejemplo es el virrey de la Nueva España, Fernando de Alencastre Noroña y Silva.

Para Manuel Antonio Enríquez o Pérez de Alencastre, quien debió nacer por 1600's significa que lo separan unos 120 años del fundador de su apellido ya que Jorge de Lencastre nació en 1471 y falleció en 1550. Al principio me pareció un poco ilógico que siendo perteneciente de dicha familia, seguramente sería hijo o por lo menos nieto de algún duque y las razones por las cuales se encontraba en Jalisco se me harían extrañas, pero debido a que esto ha sucedido también con otros antepasados de origen muy noble, creo que este puede ser otro caso. El linaje de mi antepasado seguramente debe de estar registrado, incluso encontré un Manuel de Alencastre hijo de Don Alvaro de Alencastre y Enríquez y de la IV duquesa de Avero Doña Juliana de Alencastre y Téllez Girón del cual no se tienen más datos sólo figura su nombre entre sus vástagos, pero hasta el momento no he hallado más datos que me sugieran como está conectado a Jorge de Lencastre, lo que sí es que definitivamente lo está.

Espero alguien me pueda dar alguna pista o dato al respecto.

Enrique Agraz

Thank you. I'll start scanning the Teocaltiche records and maybe I'll find
information on Francisco López de Velarde and Juana Marín de Peñalosa.

Paige

Hello,

Is there anyone in the forum that has information on Margarita López de
Velarde that's married to Antonio Alonso de Los Ynojos. I have Antonio
Alonso de Los Ynojos ancestry for several generations but, I can't locate a
marriage or any information on Margarita López de Velarde. I'd like to know
her parents if anyone has that information.

Paige

i agree interesting information I KNOW esparza is of navarro descent.

I have two questions. First, does anybody know if the Pasajeros a Indias information that appears in the Pares search engine is complete? I saw a reference to a person as appearing in the Pasajeros books, but when I looked him up on Pares, he wasn't there.

Second, a friend gave me a list of surnames of people investigated by the Inquisition, and the surname Ruiz de Esparza is there. It occurred to me that the surname is there because of the "prueba" that was done on Lope Ruiz de Esparza in Aguascalientes (the one that mentions Petronila de Moctezuma as his wife's ancestor). Whoever put together that list must have a source for the Ruiz de Esparza surname occurring on it. I think it was prepared by John Schmal and was being circulated in the Genealogia de Mexico group (Google groups). Maybe this can help us track down the Limpieza de Sangre for Lope Ruiz de Esparza.

One of La Senora Research Institute Academic Fellow is an expert on these
Codices. Dr. John Pohl is his name. When Mexico was celebrating its 150th
year John got the Museo to mount a major exhibition at the Getty. It was
phenomenal and John walked around our Patron Members Small Group Tour and
explained everything that was in the exhibit. But it was LACMA's exhibit
on Quatzequatel a few months later that most pertained to the Codices.
There are very, very few copies in existence....John was able to get the
Bodleian Library at Oxford to loan their copy because they said his
exhibit was the very first time the Codices had ever been displayed in the
context of what they meant.
If there's a serious interest in the Codices on the part of enough of you,
I could arrange for Dr. Pohl to come to LA and give a talk on this. Our
theater/auditorium seats 55 people. It would not be until Spring as La
Senora remains 'dark' during the winter months so that we have time to do
additional research. Right now we are hard at work on Jose Mojica re: both
his time in Santa Monica California and after he built his mother Villa
Santa Monica in San Miguel de Allende and founded the orphanage there.

I am trying to find out who their parents were.

Their children were:

Maria Gertrudis de la Paz 1727 (married Jose Sipriano Limon)
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/JZVQ-7BP

Francisco de la Paz Tinoco 1729
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/N8P1-SDM

Ana de la Paz Tinoco 1732
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/N8PB-Y3P

Eugenio de la Paz 1737 (married Ma Ciriaca Flores)
Ysabel Benedicta de la Paz 1737

Feliciano de la Paz abt 1745 (married Ma Rosalia Navarrete and Ma Gertrudis Catano)

I noticed on two of their children they also have surname "Tinoco" I found a another person in Aguascalientes Joseph Manuel Paz Tinoco and wondered if this is his brother. They mentioned parents Carlos Martin Paz Tinoco and Mathiana Gonzales Cortes. The image on right hand side, second item to this link.

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-267-13029-90008-34?cc=1502404&…

Do any of you know if there is any relation between Antonio Paz Tinoco and Carlos Paz Tinoco??

Thank You
Ruben

There was a posting that asked whether there would be interest in hearing a presentation by Dr. John Pohl about the codices. My answer is an emphatic yes! I've always found the codices fascinating and would love to hear an expert explain what they mean. Are there around 50 members in the L.A. area who would be interested, as well? Please speak up, people!

Many years back I was in a bookstore and found a book about an Aztec codex. The first page of the actual codex was dedicated to a Viceroy Hurtado de Mendoza. I was later told by another researcher that the viceroy had a half-sister named Isabel Hurtado de Mendoza, who appears in the genealogy of many people from the Los Altos area. Although I have never been able to substantiate this claim, it left me very intrigued. The researcher who shared that information with me could not remember who had shared that information with him.

Hello all,

Can anyone in the forum tell me what the difference is between an alcalde
ordinario and an alcalde mayor?

To Marco Xavier Hermosillo

I just read your genealogy report on Fulgencio Hermosillo Cornejo. In my records he has two more siblings, Anacleta and Jose de Jesus.

Anacleta Hermosillo Cornejo was married to Pedro Rodriguez. They had a son named Roque Rodriguez who worked in Real Estate and was a partner in the Roque and Mark Real Estate Company in Santa Monica, California. roque married his third cousin through the Perez and Franco lines. Roque passed away before I was in junior high school. My main memories of him are when he showed houses to my family when I was 6 and 7 years old It was exciting to see him because it meant we were going to check out a possible future home. He helped us buy the home when I was 7. I did see him after that but not often. his wife, my aunt, is still alive. my contact with the family increased in high school and I have always been close to my aunt.

Fulgencio and his siblings are twice second cousins to my maternal grandmother through the Perez and Franco lines.

I have a lot of information to add to Fulgencio's ancestors:
On your Hermosillo line, I have the parents of the spouse as you go back each generation.
On your Vallejo, Cornejo, and Perez lines I have way too much information to post here. These are my family lines and I have over 35 years of research to provide.

Trijio Hermosillo Vallejo's parents, Antonio Hermosillo Garcia and Maria Ysabel Vallejo Perez married 25/oct/1854 in Jalostotitlan, Jal.

Antonio's mother is Maria Dolores Garcia Lomelin baptized 19/April/1787 in zapotlan del Rey Jalisco,
Dolores's parents are Juan Joseph Antonio Garcia and Maria josefa Lomelin

Jose Leocadio Hermosillo's mother Maria Antonia de anda Ortiz is the daughter of Jose de Anda and Juliana Ortiz

the rest of the info on your other lines I will provide through mail or even better in person where we can discuss your second cousins, Roque's children, who live in Santa Monica and Texas. your second cousin that lives in Texas is an executive with IBM and has a daughter that is on the Mexican national woman's soccer team. Two of your second cousins, like their father, work in real estate. One of them owns Tierra realty co. One of your second cousins was born weeks after his father passed away and never knew him. One member of the family is an actor and worked as a mascot for a professional team, I forget which team.
They will be happy to hear that I found a family member from their father's side.

Are any of you familiar with "codices of Mexico" They are very old drawings from the time ancient times of Mexico and also colonial times.

There are so many of them as I am looking at them.

Dear Primos and Friends:

Lots of good news: Not only is the general public being informed about the historic presence of Latinos in the United States through public media, more and more of us are making our voices heard by writing, speaking on radio, making presentations, supporting heritage events, and in general, speaking up when history is incorrect.

Together we are making a difference. Thank you for your contributions, sharing your writings and sending diverse tidbits, always an education.

If you have photos of a Hispanic Heritage Month event that you attended, please send them along with a who-what- when-where sentence or two.

Enjoy October . . .
God bless, Mimi

 I found information on a Jauregui family of Seville while reading the book "Linajudos and Conversos in Seville" by Ruth Pike. I think it is possible this family from Seville has a connection to the one mentioned on Nuestros Ranchos. Miguel Martinez de Jauregui was a Northerner from Najera, Logrono (his father from Vergara) who migrated to Seville in the sixteenth century to engage in trade with the New World. He made a fortune shipping iron to America, which was a typical activity of Basque merchants. He also owned a vessel in the carrera de Indias. The woman he married, Isabel Hurtado de la Sal, was the daughter of one of the richest converso businessmen in Seville (converso meaning the family had converted from Judaism to Catholicism). Typically, Old Christians and conversos did not mix, but if the families were wealthy and had business ties, they did.

Because Jauregui did not marry an Old Christian, the Jaureguis became targets of rumors and unfavorable treatment. There was many pruebas (investigations related to the family's background) going on against the family that ended in around1639. Linajudos, professional genealogists who expected bribes, conspired against them.

There were several children but only three names are known. One was a poet name Juan de Jauregui, another was named Lucas de Jauregui. There was also a son named Francisco who was involved in a duel in 1614 because somebody called him a converso publicly. The wounded combatants became determined to get revenge against the family. 

Bill Figueroa posted that the earliest Jauregui in our area was named Juan Francisco and he married in Nochistlan, Zacatecas in 1662. He was from Guipuzcoa, Spain. Has anybody seen that marriage entry and were Juan Francisco's parents identified?  With the family from Seville being involved in exportation of merchandise to the New World, there might be a connection.
If anybody wants more details on the Jauregui family of Seville, just e-mail me.

Hi!

Erika and I are pleased to announce the first meeting of the Southern California chapter of the Nueva Galicia Genealogical Society.

The date for the first meeting is October 18, 2014, from 11 am until 2 pm.

We have considered the various locations of all the people who responded to the survey. We were fortunate enough to be offered a meeting location through the generosity of the Santa Ana Public Library's History Room.

If you already responded to the survey, you should have received a tentative agenda and flyer via email. If you did not receive the email, it may be in your spam folder, or you can email us at nggssocal@nuevagalicia.org, and we will send it to you.

If you did not fill out the survey and if you are interested in attending, please email us at nggssocal@nuevagalicia.org and we will send you the agenda and the meeting flyer for your perusal. If you cannot open the attachments, please let us know.

**Please do RSVP to nggssocal@nuevagalicia.org to let us know if you will be attending-- we want to prepare the room to accommodate everyone.**

Feel free to bring your family trees, laptops, and documents that you wish to share or have questions about. There is limited seating, but we will have a chance to meet others and perhaps find some relatives! Bring your questions as well-- let's share in the wealth of knowledge and experience regarding genealogy.

We will take a break at an appropriate time during the meeting. You are permitted to bring bottled water with you, but we are not allowed to eat in the History Room. However, if you wish to bring a lunch or snacks with you, you are welcome to eat outside the library. The break may not be long enough for lunch at a restaurant, so please plan accordingly.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at nggssocal@nuevagalicia.org .

Rosalinda & Erika
