Hi Bernardo

I just figured out that two Femat sibliings married two Romo siblings:

Antonio Fermin Femat and Monica Romo de Vivar

Isabel Femat and Salvador Romo de Vivar.

Antonio and Isabel are the children of Fermin Antonio Femat and Barbara Gonzales Aguirre.

Monica and Salvador are the children of Nicolas Romo de Vivar and Maria Villalobos.

You provided the info on Monica RV and Antonio Femat.

The info on Isabel and Salvador is in an Info Matr. from Asientos 1716:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-D8S7-XFT?i=209&wc=M6QX…

GS film #1410796 image 210

I came across it by chance while browsing through the images.

I did a search here in NR for Salvador Romo and Isabel Femat, and I found nothing, therefore I am posting it now, as another example of siblings marrying siblings. It really complicates trying to draw a family tree!

Do you have any info on Fermin Antonio Femat or Barbara Gonzales Aguirre?

Hi Bernardo

I can see there are several potential children of Maria Urbana Lira and Raphael Romo
in family search, although you only mention three children.
Ma.Romualda
Ma.Eulogia
Jose Ydelfonso
Ma. Ambrosia
Ma. Felipe
Jose Fruto
Rafael de Jesus

Here is the link to the search results:
https://familysearch.org/search/records/index#count=20&query=%2Bgivenna…

I can see in my notes that Romualda was noted as mestiza, and Ambrosia as India. When I first saw this infomation, I had dismissed any close link to the Romos I was looking for, who are noted as Spanish, but since then I have come across an article that discussed the switching of ethnic identity between Spanish and Indian (of the same person!).

The truth is, Manual Romo + wife who are my ancestors were padrinos for a child of Raphael and Urbana, and Raphael and Urbana were padrinos in return. Someday I hope to have it all straightened out!

Regards,
Denise

Hello Bernando

I have uploaded some information into my files from Ancestry.com on Manuel Romo which shows that Maria Hurvana Lira was godparent for one of his children. This is the Manuel who I think has Raphael Prudencio Romo and Maria Rafaela Aguilar as parents. The information was compiled by Ernie Alderete with a few of my own notes added. If you have problems seeing the file, let me know.

Bernardo,

Maria de los Dolores FEMAT was married to Jose Antonio SERRANO Villalpando on 11 Oct 1792, in Asientos, Ags, Sra. de Belen, Mat 1792-1810, Image 12.
and
Tiburcio FEMAT married Maria Antonia MARTINES Castañeda on 13 Jan 1808, also Asientos, same film, Image 335.

Hello Bermardo. I can't help you with what you asked about. However, in
case you find out that Rafael Femate and Rafael Romo are one and the same
person you should know that Capitán Nicolás Romo de Vivar was the son of
Pedro Romo de Vivar and Lorenza Tiscareño de Molina y Ruiz de Esparza.
Maria de Villalobos was the daughter of Salvador de Villalobos Macías
Valadez and Francisca Martín del Campo y López de la Cruz. Many people have
confused this María with Mariana de Villalobos the daughter of Nicolás de
Villalobos Macías Valadez and Teresa Carrillo de Sandi, who doesn't even
have the Martín or Martinez surname, and married Nicolás Romo de Vivar the
son of Diego Romo de Vivar and Luisa de los Ángeles de los Reyes.

Saludos
Armando
