My name is Raul Bracamonte Munoz and I'm thrilled to be a new member of the Nuestros Ranchos familia.

While my research takes me to many places within northern Mexico, a key focus area for me is Villa de Cos and the surrounding haciendas. I also have an interest in Sierra Hermosa, Jerez, Fresnillo, and the city of Zacatecas.

Within these areas of Zacatecas, the primary family names I am researching are: Munoz, Vasquez del Mercado, Rodriguez and Sanchez.

Before 1850, I also have an interest in Rodarte, Gonzalez de Solis, Martinez de Orosco, Ruiz de Chavez, Caldera, Romo de Vivar, Carrion, Delgadillo, Castrejon, Campa y Cos, de Avila, and Marin.

Please feel free to review my folder with descendant charts that include many of these names.

When researching film, I typically concentrate on older files that have not been indexed. So if you would like me to keep an eye open for family members you may be researching, please feel free to let me know.

I'd also like to note that I make every effort to only place individuals in my family tree if I have direct and conclusive evidence that supports the relationship. Happy to show my work if there are any questions regarding individuals found in my files. There are a few exceptions within the Rodarte family.

Other than familysearch.org and ancestry.com, if anyone can recommend any other sites that provide records for my focus area, please let me know.

Thank you.

Welcome Raul, what name is your file under?  I checked Raul Bracamontes and Raul Munoz and found neither one. I also research in Jerez, Zacactecas as well as Jalisco and Michoacan and would love to compare your Jerez records to share and learn..
thank you
Linda Castanon-Long

Raul,

I have no information on Estanislada Menchaca but I do on Andres Menchaca (son of Joseph Menchaca Baesa and Juana Flores de Vega), husband of Rosa Jimenez. I descend from the brother of Andres, Joseph Antonio Menchaca Baesa, through the De Hoyos and Valdes side of my paternal grandmother. If you're interested I can send you what I have of these lines. I haven't posted this info in Nuestrosranchos since it is not related to Aguascalientes, Jalisco or Zacatecas.

Check out the following site: www.sanbuena.com

There you will find some information on the Rodartes. According to Horacio Dominguez, who is the site's owner, Sotero Hernandez Menchaca (related to me also) wrote a book titled "La Dinastia Rodarte", bullfighters.

Do a google search as follows: rodarte site:"www.sanbuena.com"

Saludos,

BERNARDO MENCHACA

Thank you, Bernardo. I would appreciate anything you can send me. It looks like you and my wife have some common ancestors. Most of her family (Adame, Jurado, Falcon, Velasco, and Cadena)can be traced to Coahuila.

I'll follow up on the other sites as well.

Raul Munoz

Raúl,

Bienvenido and good luck!

Are you related to the Rodarte bullfighters that lived in San Buenaventura, Coahuila, but were originally from Aguascalientes?

BERNARDO MENCHACA

Bernardo, thanks for the welcome. I have to admit I'm pretty clueless when it comes to the Rodartes outside of Villa de Cos and Jerez. I can take them as far as Mateo in the early 1600's, but haven't followed the line outside the area.

If your family line hails from San Buenaventura, there's a good chance there may be a connection to my wife's family. Estanislada Menchaca married Macario Adame sometime in the 1880's. Macario being her great great uncle.

She's also directly related to the family of Andres Menchaca and Rosa Jimenez dating back to the early 1700's. I believe they were in or around Monclova.
