Hi Efrain,

Thanks for the info. I have yet to go to the Family Search Library and check out the additional info (or order it :-) so I guess that is my next step for many records I have.

I went to Jalos a few years ago but to my bad luck the chuch office was closed that day!

Saludos y gracias!!

Sandra,

There are many Enriquez recordings as early colonizers of Nueva Galicia
from which, if any, you can determine your lineage. Some examples of these
are:

> Juan Enriquez de Guzman served with Cortes in his first expedition.
> Martin Enriquez was the 4th Viceroy (1568 - 1583) of Nueva Galicia.
> Enriquez, son of Henry and "originario de Espana" is mentioned as being
in Nueva Espana in 1691.
> Various Enriquez are recorded as being tried in Nueva Espana by the
Spanish Inquisition for relapsing to Judaism.
> Mariano Gonzales-Leal includes --- in his "Retonos de Espana en la Nueva
Galicia" --- Enriquez del Castillo as one of the 117 Spanish families that
arrived to colonize the Los Altos region of Jalisco in 1550

So, in the case of your "stuck research," I suggest that you
begin/continue it by reading the christening record of the twins (Josse
Antonio Yrineo Enrique Gonsales and Josse Vicente Yrineo Enrique Gonsales)
children of Josse Maria Enrique and Maria Nicolaza Gonsales, --- and
christened 17 July 1785 at Nuestra Senora de la Asuncion, Jalostotitlan,
Jalisco. (Ref.: LDS Film # 0279261). These christening records often
include the names of the newborn's grandparents which, in this instance,
would be your 7GGrandparents.

Best of luck in your research, and a Happy New Year to all the Nuestros
Ranchos Internauts !

latest couple I have is Jose Maria Enriquez and Maria Nicolasa Gonzalez de
Villasenor. They are my 6GGrandparents. They lived around the mid 1700's.
I can't figure out anything before that. Their son, Jose Vicente Yrineo
Enriquez Gonzalez (who was a twin by the way) was born around 1785 and
married Maria Francisca Romo de Vivar. Vicente's daughter, Maria Gerarda
Enriquez, eventually made her way to Amoxochitl (Juchipila area) and
married my GGGrandfather Jose Maria Enriquez... yes, there were both
Enriquez :-) -- so makes for an interesting line to have 2 last names join
in different towns with who knows what backgroud.
