We are researching the Family of Cristino Casillas and Mercedes Ornejo, from
Jalostotitlan, Jalisco, Mexico. Cristino came to the US in 1920 with his
wife and children, Blas, Marcelino, Maria de los Santos and Bernard. They
settled in Swink, Colorado where Cristino worked in a Sugar Factory. He
then moved to Rey, Arizona where he was a miner, and then on to Detroit,
Michigan where he worked at the Gas company. He had a brother Jose Casillas
who was married to Julia Padilla Casillas and they also came to the US in
1920 and settled in Superior, Arizona. The descending chart attached shows
the following family tree father to son. All were born in Jalostotitlan,
Jalisco, Mexico.

Line of descent:

1. Crisanto Casillas (m) Mariana Vega

2. Pilar Casillas (m) Candelaria Ornelas

3. Cristino Casillas (m) Mercedes Ornejo

4. Blas Casillas (m) Aurora de la Torre

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Nancy,

Crisanto Casillas and Mariana Vega were married in San Francisco de Asís, Tepatitlán de Morelos on 6 Mar 1848 son of Carlos Casillas and Antonia de Santa Cruz, Ignacio Vega and Manuela Rodríguez.

José Pilar Casillas Vega was baptized same place 20 Oct 1850 had many siblings who were baptized and married in Tepatitlán.

Carlos Casillas and Antonia de Santa Cruz were married in Jalostotitlán on 18 Mar 1823 son of Santiago Casillas and María de San José “Josefa” Vásquez, Vicente de Santa Cruz and Hilaria Angulo.

José Crisanto de Jesús was baptized in Jalostotitlán on 2 Nov 1823.

José de Santiago and María de San José Vásquez were married on 18 Jan 1797 in Jalostotitlán.

Vicente de Santa Cruz and María Hilaria Angulo were married in Jalos on 8 Jun 1799.

Ignacio Vega and María Manuela Rodríguez were married on 9 Jun 1824 in Jalos.

Unfortunately I have not looked at these last three marriage records so you might want to take a quick look online to continue your family tree. Please let me know the results. I will tell you now it looks like you’ll connect to the Casillas Cabrera, Vásquez de Lara families. Many of us in the group descend from these families. I also descend from the Santa Cruz family that came from San Juan de los Lagos and I have found some references but no link as of yet they are the same Santa Cruz y Orozco family of Pinos and Aguascalientes.

I hope this is helpful
