Hello Group,
I'm been researching the Gonzalez line and I have hit a wall in Jalpa. I am stuck in my inability to find information for Jose Maria Gonzalez who married Julia Casillas. I have found two of his three of his children, Simon, Maria, and Lucas. Lucas is my direct descendant. Based on a marriage bann and marriage for Simon in Teul in 1865, I suspect that Jose Maria married Julia around 1830 (Simon was 35 at his marriage and was from Jalpa). Maria's wedding in 1869 took place in El Plateado (no age given for her--her husband was about 26) and she was from La Villita (between Jalpa and Huanusco). However, I've looked at the Jalpa weddings for 1827-1838 and the Tabasco film for this time period, and I didn't find Jose Maria's or Julia's wedding.

I also looked at Tabasco's bautismos for 1826-1838 and haven't found any baptisms for Simon his brothers and sisters. I've already ordered the film for the next decade to see if I can find Lucas' or Maria's (or other's) baptism record. But so far, I haven't found ANY baptisms for Jalpa in the Tabasco records.

I'm wondering where else I may find baptisms for people from Jalpa?

Also I am going to La Villita in December and was going to try to see the records of the churches in Jalpa and La Villita. Have any of you had success getting access to the books? Any suggestions for how to talk to the priests?

As a side note, I have found some interesting things about my direct ancestor's, Simon, family troubles. He married Valeriana Gonzales (no relation) in 1865, and she was supposedly a virgin "celibe", but there are two records of children born before the wedding, one of which may have been by another man. A few years later though she had several children by other men. The baptisms have the grandparents' info so i know it's the "same" Valeriana.

At first I suspected Simon might have died, but then I found that there were a few other Simon Gonzales from Teul de Gonzalez who had children from different women. Unfortunately, there was no info on the paternal grandparents or age that would help confirm whether these were the same Simons. if the are the same, this meant that Valeriana and Simon must have a very spicy relationship, one worthy of a few mariachi songs or a soap opera!

However, I wanted to share my experience, and perhaps it may be something else for you to explore:My father was born (1912) at Hacienda del Astillero. The church for that Hacienda is called, if I recall correctly, Nuestra Senora, Maria de Los Refugios. An Image can be seen here:http://valparaisozac.webcindario.com/fotovalpa.html#(see under haciendas [not iglesias]- last photo on right).His baptismal record is held at La Purisima church in Valparaiso, Zac., which is the Jurisdictional center (akin to the county seat) - also where civil records for the area would be found.The records for many ranchos in the areas surrounding Valparaiso are found in Valparaiso. It may be that the records you seek are in a larger nearby town.

Arturo,

I found a Ma. Trinidad Gonzalez Casillas, daughter of Jose Maria Gonzalez and Julia Casillas in the Jalpa Matrimonios 1827-1838 files, image #89, via the Mormon Church beta search records.

Ma. Trinidad was born in La Villita and married Fermin Pereira Baldovinos (Fermin Pereida Valdovinos) from Ojo de Agua on 9/19/1831.

Assuming Ma. Trinidad was approximately 20 years old when she married, she would be born about 1811. This means that you will not find Jose Maria Gonzalez and Julia Casillas in the Jalpa Matrimonio 1827-1838 files.

Look in Nochistlan, Zac. Sometimes they have records in Nochistlan for La
Villita, Jalpa, Huanusco and other surrounding Puestos, Ranchos, Pueblos or
Ciudades.

Arturo, Hola en el siguiente registro encuentras a un Lucas en su matrimonio..sé que no es tu Lucas.. pero siendo su contemporáneo del mismo pueblo.. yo no lo descartaría del todo.. porque en las familias se repetían mucho los nombres y los Lucas no son tan comunes, así que aunque no fuese TU Lucas posiblemente, Tranquilino si pudiese ser hermano o su primo.. de tu José Maria Gonzalez.. luego checando aunque te falte una rama.. puedes llegar al tronco común de los Gonzalez de Teúl.. yo he llegado a registros por medio de las cuñadas...pues resulta que a veces un fulanito se casó un una de zacatecas y se fué de su lugar de origen al lugar de origen de la novia, averiguando en su acta de matrimonio di con el pueblo y con los demás hijos.. es comun que si un hermano se casa en una ciudad diferente y se queda ahi.. lo alcancen más hermanos.. éste Lucas pudo ser primo del tuyo... Jose María Gonzalez sólo se casó con Julia Casillas? no tuvo primeros o segundos matrimonios? I will try to check what I can find...Lety R

RESEÑA HISTÓRICA
En el año 1520 esta región estuvo habitada por grupos nómadas que comían raíces, frutas silvestres, además cazaban venados, liebres y aves. Perteneció a la Gran Caxcana, siendo poblada por un grupo chichimeca de caxcanes. Existen vestigios de grupos sedentarios indígenas, ya que se han encontrado hachas de piedra, puntas de flecha de obsidiana y pedernal, huilanches y figuras de barro cocido.
Después de consumada la conquista de Tenochtitlán, Hernán Cortés envió a varios de sus lugartenientes a explorar el territorio donde se encuentra este municipio. Fue Nuño Beltrán de Guzmán quien emprendió la exploración y conquista en 1529. Posteriormente ante los excesivos tributos que les exigían los colonizadores los caxcanes se sublevaron refugiándose en el Cerro del Mixtón. Es hasta 1542 cuando llegan los sacerdotes Miguel de Bolonia y Antonio de Segovia e invitan a los indígenas a través de interpretes a descender de las sierras a las partes planas y comienzan a fincar sus viviendas, es por que con la influencia de los españoles en 1583 se le comienza a dar personalidad jurídica al municipio llamándole Santa María de Mecatabasco, jurisdicción de Juchipila, reino de la Nueva Galicia.
El capitán Miguel Caldera, llamado el Capitán Mestizo, dejó un testamento al morir en 1593 en el que hacía alusión a viejos conflictos que tenían los indios de Tabasco con los huachichiles. El 14 de julio de 1600 con la muerte de los sacerdotes Miguel de Bolonia y Antonio de Segovia, llega el clérigo secular cura beneficiado de Jalpa don Joseph de Figueroa.

En 1612 ante él se hizo la elección de nuevos dirigentes de la cofradía, siendo electos los indios Mateo (prieste) y Fabián Sebastián (mayordomo). Para el año de 1673, Tabasco era ya un pueblo de relativa importancia y contaba con una Iglesia dotada de todo lo necesario para beneficio de su feligresía. En 1794 un informe solicitado por el gobernador observa que en los libros de registro de las cofradías que existían en la Parroquia de Tabasco había una clara división de clases sociales durante la época de la colonia.
Después de iniciarse el movimiento de Independencia el 16 de septiembre de 1810, en el municipio gobernaba el intendente don Francisco Rendón, por lo que trató de salir del pueblo, siendo aprehendido por el jefe insurgente Daniel Camarena y el padre Calvillo. Para el mes de mayo de 1811 pasaron por Tabasco los realistas, dejando una estela de sangre, terror y espanto entre la población. Al terminar la guerra de Independencia, se ordenó hacer la jura de Independencia en todos los pueblos del Estado de Zacatecas y en Tabasco tuvo lugar este acontecimiento el 14 de julio. Tabasco se erigió constitucionalmente en el año 1824 y a partir de esa fecha paso a conformar junto con Jalpa el partido de Villanueva.
Existe un documento en el archivo del Obispado de Guadalajara de fecha 30 de junio de 1831, que contiene el informe siguiente: «El curato de Tabasco tiene los mismos límites que la municipalidad, linda por el oriente con la Villa de Calvillo, por el poniente con la de Tlaltenango y Colotlán por el sur con el pueblo de Jalpa y por el norte con Villanueva. Sus dimensiones son por el oriente una legua, por el poniente nueve; por el sur cuatro y por el norte cinco. Su población es de 8 mil 645 habitantes repartidos en dos pueblos, una hacienda y cincuenta ranchos, esta parroquia para cubrir los gastos del curato no tenia otros capitales mas que los cobros de aranceles y entierros». De acuerdo con lo anterior, observamos que el municipio de Tabasco comprendía Huanusco, Tabasco y Joaquín Amaro. Asimismo, encontramos también información sobre cuatro cofradías que daban vida a este curato.

En el año de 1835 la Legislatura del estado, por decreto, le dio el título de Villa del Refugio a lo que antes fue Metahuasco en idioma náhuatl y Mecatabasco ya castellanizado, la cabecera municipal contaba con mil 800 habitantes contando con cinco haciendas. En 1893 por iniciativa de don José María Sandoval se comenzó a construir la presidencia municipal y se inauguró el 16 de septiembre de 1896.
En el año de 1938 por Decreto No. 86 emitido por el Congreso del Estado se cambia el nombre de Villa García de la Cadena por el de Tabasco.

As far as checking the records at the church in Jalpa, just from my own
experience. When we went and asked to see their books, they showed us the oldest
book that they had, it was dated 1919. The Priest came out a little up set and
ask where we had gotten a copy of our records that we showed them, that we had
on us that was dated 1891. The church had a fire some time back and according to
him their records were burned. Don't know how LDS has gotten a hold of the
images of any records! But it's awesome.

Wish you success

I am of the understanding that each parish made a copy of their records and they
were sent to the main church and that's where LDS went to film them.  They did
not go to each parish, they filmed the copies so they were safe from the
distruction smaller churchs faced.

am I correct in this information?

Linda,

You're mostly correct, they went to the Head of the Archdiocese. I believe Jalpa
falls under the jurisdiction of Zacatecas, Zacatecas, but it could have been
Guadalajara.

According to some documents I've found online from the Archdiocese of Zacatecas, La Villita's church was in existence by the late 1800s. But there are no LDS films for this rancho, so I wonder if the older books may have been sent along to Zacatecas but not filmed?

I'm now working on a different timeline for finding Jose Maria Gonzalez and Julia Casillas since Ruben spotted a wedding entry for their daughter Maria Trinidad in 1831 in the Jalpa 1827-1838 images. Plus, as Leticia mentioned, it's possible that I may find Jose Maria's town by looking for relatives of his that also named their children Lucas.

I've seen most of the films available for Jalpa, Zacatecas and they have included many individuals who were born, baptized, married and died in La Villita.

You can also try places like Tabasco, Tlatenango, Calvillo, Juchipila, Nochistlan. This area is known
as the valle de Huejucar mostly in and out of Calvillo, Ags. There is lots of movement and travel
in and out of this area where people got baptized, married, and died.

Linda, and everyone else,
So from what I read, it seems that any and all records from Jalpa, La Villita, etc., should've been sent on to Zacatecas. The reason I had asked in the first place is because I had been told that the parish in La Villita had been active and presumably was baptizing and marrying folks during the late 1800s/early 1900s. Yet there are no films for the parish. I assume that means that either no records were sent or that they weren't filmed.

As I've searched in Tabasco, I've not found more than a 1 or 2 references to La Villita. And I haven't found any references for some of the online images for Teul, Mezquital del Oro, Calvillo, that I've looked through. But I'll keep looking. As for Nochistlan, I'll take a look there for possible relatives. But I also found another "La Villita" in Nochistlan's jurisdiction (http://mexico.pueblosamerica.com/i/la-villita-15/) that I hope wasn't confusing people with "La Villita" in Jalpa's jurisdiction (http://mexico.pueblosamerica.com/i/guadalupe-victoria-la-villita/).

Thanks to all of your input and suggestions,
Arturo
