Hello Everyone!

I've just joined the group; having found it through a couple of search engines.

I am researching my wife's family. Her maternal grandmother, Maria Eutiquia Escobar (b. 1883), is from Aguascalientes. Her ancestors have roots in Aguascalientes (Aguascalientes), Zacatecas (Trancoso, Pinos), and Jalisco (Lagos de Moreno). My wife's father's family (Lara) is from Guanajuato, as is her materal grandfather (Eutiquia's second husband, Juan Navarro).

Names in the family are Escobar, de la Torre, Macias, Perez, Gonzales, Pedrosa, Castro, Arias, Gallegos, Salas, Garcia, Martinez, Ponze, Salazar, Montoya, Cordova, Escoto, Quesda, Dias, Alons, Sandoval, Lopes de Nava, and Flores. Some families have been traced to the early 1700's, others to early 1800s/late 1700s.

Families from Guanajuato are Lara, Arevalos, Pulido, Saldana, Navarro from San Francisco del Rincon; and Navarro (again), Serrano from Romita/Silao. These families go back to the early 1800s.

I have not yet posted a gedcom, but plan to do so soon.

Note: I know only enough Spanish to pick out essential info from baptismal and marriage records, and know when to ask my wife to translate (she's fluent)!

Thank you to those who replied/commented on my Introduction.

I must confess I made a typo: "Alons" should have been "Alonso." Our line begins with Maria Ignacia Alonso who had a son with an unnamed father, Andres Alonso born about 1785, in Aguascalientes. He (Alonso) married Maria Josefa Teresa de Jesus Sandoval on 8 Jan 1810, in El Sagrario, Aguascalientes. They had eight children that I know of: José Buenaventura Alonso Sandoval, Maria Dolores Balvina Alonso, Maria Gila de la Trinidad Alonso, Ma. Fulgencia de Jesus Alonso, José Fulgencio Alonso, Maria Petra Alonso, José Severiano de Jesus Alonso, and Jacoba de Jesus Alonso.

Our Salas family starts with Juan Salas (or de Salas) who was born about 1744, in Aguascalientes, and who married Maria Juliana Gracia. They had two children that I know: Joseph Melchiades Salas, born 1769, in Aguascalientes, and Juan Jose Salas, born about 1783 (he married twice: Maria Josefa Petronila Martinez and Maria Mednina Hernandez.

We have three Macias or Masias lines: two in Aguascalientes. One, Maria Antonia Macias, who married Francisco (or possibly Pedro) Escobar, and the other, Maria del Carmen Masias, marrying Antonio de la Torre. They are from the mid-1700s. Their children, Francisco Escobar and Maria Sevastiana de la Torre, married in 1781, in El Sagrario, Aguascalientes.

The third family is from Lagos de Moreno, Jalisco: Casimira Eulalia (or Olaia) Macias married Matheo Peres in 1738, in Santa Maria de los Lagos, Lagos de Moreno.

Hopefully, this is useful!

Welcome George to the group.

I want to ask you, where are your Macias and Salas from exactly? I have those 2 lastnames in my pedigree.

Best regards.

Welcome, George,

My husband had an ancestor named Maria Luisa de Allon. Kind of sounds like your wife's Alons? Maria Luisa was married to Jose Segundo Talamantes around the late 1700s, probably in Tlaltenango. I have no information on Maria Luisa's parents.

Some of the other surnames you mentioned such as Garcia, Martinez, Martin, and Dias are also in my husband's tree.
