I read with such amusement the remarks made by fellow researchers on surprises, bewilderment, encouragement coming from their search.

Late nights
I'm glad to hear I am not the only one who falls asleep on the keyboard, and even in bed, I will hear a voice saying "look in---" and I will find some ancestor that I have been looking for.

Hang in there guys. I broke through one of my brick walls last Tuesday at 2am.
George's email is great considering he's looked for a Alejandra Saldana for
almost 30 years! Wow!
Alicia,
I also have an Olmos in my lineage from Nochistlan/Tlachichila. Maybe we can
collaborate on this one as well.

I need one of these late night surprises. I've been searching for the birth of
my elusive GG grandfather Prudencio Olmos Esparza.
Prudencio Olmos who's children were born in Nochistlan had two families, the
first and smallest family with my GG grandmother Juana de Jauregui and the
second family was with his mistress, Maria Sigala. He and Juana de Jauregui
were married in Nochistlan Zac on 14 Jan, 1857. In the marriage record it says
his parents were Juan Olmos and Eulogia Esparza. Prudencio had two other
siblings, Antonio Olmos Esparza and Alejandra Olmos Esparza.
I have the marriage records for the 3 siblings, Purdencio, Antonio and Maria
Alejandra but I haven't been able to find the birth records for any of them
so I'm not sure where they were from because it doesn't appear that they were
born in Nochistlan Zac. I've begun the search in Villa Hidalgo and Teocaltiche
Jalisco where there are many Olmos but I haven't been able to find
them.............at least not YET??
This is a mystery to everyone in the hometown of Tlachichila Zac. There seemed
to be two Olmos families who intermarried but everyone always says and I
quote. Pero no somos de la misma familia Olmos, somos de los otros Olmos and
to this date I can't prove or disprove it. Are they the same Olmos or a
different Olmos family? The mystery remains, that is until I find their birth
records.
I know it's crazy to stay up until 3 AM searching for nights on end and
getting no where.

It is ironic to have received this e-mail today .... I just found Alejandra
Saldana, late last night (I was working until almost 3 AM!), for whom my wife
and I have searching since October 1983!

Alicia I had the same information from family when I started researching Castanon in Jerez, Zacatecas. I was told there were two Castanon lines in el Durazno but they were not related.. one lived in upper and the other in lower el Durazno.. research proved both lines decended from Ylario Castanon 100 years before. My gr-grandfather said that poverty was the cause of ignorance but I find it amazing how they know they need dispensations for blood lines going back 4 and 5 generations when they don't remember the given names but know they are related. Oral history was an amazing thing.
I'm working on marriage information records for 1852 and only 1 in abt 50 knows how to read and write.
keep searching, we all know we don't do this work alone and the ancestors are waiting to be remembered and reclaimed and no doubt wake us in the middle of the night with a clue even when we don't understand it.
Linda in B.C.
