Hi, I'm Mayra and I've only recently (about a month or so) started doing genealogy research. I've found this fascinating and I've really enjoyed discovering my family's history. My mom sometimes jokes about how I'm finding secrets they thought would never be found. So far, my researched has focused on my mother's side of the family. It seems that a lot of distant relatives are working on it so our research has crossed and a lot of information is already easily accessible on familysearch.com. However, I would like to build my fathers side too.

On my father's side, I had to start from scratch but I've make a lot of progress. I found most of the information I needed through research on ancestry.com. However it seems I have come to a brick wall. My mom always told me they descended from a tribe native to that region of Jalisco. I'm not sure if that is going to make it more difficult to find what I'm looking for since I'm not sure how well documented that would be.

On my mother's side I'm still interested in finding more on the Alvarez line leading overseas. I've already found that the Munguia line (my great grandmother [on my grandfather's side] maternal side) leads to Italy. I'm working on my maternal grandmothers line as well. I've come to a dead end there too. It seems there were some last name changes and that may prove to cause some difficulty in my research.

Paternal Family Line: Beltran

1. Victor Santiago Beltran Aguilar, son of Rosalio Beltran(1910-1979) and Guadalupe Aguilar (1913 -??). They were married in Tapalpa, Jalisco in 1929. I'm assuming they were both born in Tapalpa and then moved to Ciudad Guzman after their marriage.

2. Rosalio Beltran Cardenas, son of Jose Beltran and Paula Cardenas. I have been unable to find anything past them on that line.

Paternal line: Garcia

1. Higineo Garcia (1892 - 1967), son of Nicomedes Garcia and Justa Baltazar. He was born in Ciudad Guzman, Jalisco. His wife Juana Garcia (1894-1960).

2. Nicomedes Garcia (1857 - ??), son of Jorge Garcia and Sebastiana Garcia. I don't know why, but I feel like this side would lead to the tribe my mom mentioned.

I have more research on some of the other branches but this is where some of my walls are currently found and where I would like to expand.

I've done a lot of work on my mother's side of the family, but I have been unable to trace the Alvarez line past the late 1700s. For some odd reason there was a last name change and some ended up using Arreguin while others used Alvarez. I'm not quite sure which was the original.

Maternal line: Alvarez

Santos Alvarez (born around 1770-1817) married Maria Arias. He also had another wife named Angela Torres (born around 1775). I'm not sure if he was indeed married to both, if he became widowed or what happened. His death record does mention Angela Torres as widow. I have not found marriage records. I'd really like to expand on this side.

1. Santos Alvarez (or Arreguin) and Maria Arias had Joaquin Alvarez (or Arreguin) Arias(1790), Manuel Alvarez (or Arreguin) Arias (1804-1880), and Ramon Alvarez (or Arreguin) Arias.

2. Santos Alvarez (or Arreguin) and Angela Torres had Francisco Alvarez (or Arreguin) Torres (1805-1887) and Maria Dolores Alvarez (or Arreguin) Torres (1810-1876).

I've worked on my maternal grandmothers side as well, but I'll post those on my archive page linked below. Thanks for reading and I look forward to seeing if any of you can help point me in the right direction.

Mayra, bienvenida al grupo, I hope you find it as useful as I have. There are great people here that are so helpful too :)

Cheers

Welcome to the group Mayra!

You'll find lots of helpful people on here, we are all passionate about genealogy. We are related thru your Méndez de Torres line--you'll find a handful of people also sharing this link on here.

Your ancestor Francisco Xavier Méndez de Torres y Ramírez de Esqueda, married to Josefa de Verduzco y Cuevas on 25 Jun 1725 in Tlazazalca, was a first cousin to my 5th great grandmother, Juana Teresa Méndez de Torres y Méndez de Torres, Salceda-Andrade, baptized on 28 Feb 1724 in Zamora.

Francisco & Josefa's marriage record: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939L-9G98-J?i=86&wc=3N1M-MN…

Because many families in Tamazula originated in Michoacán and to respect the intention of this group studying Nueva Galicia, please email me at dmendezcamino@gmail.com. I 'd love to discuss and share anything I have that may help you!

Welcome!
I am currently working on my cousins lines in Techaluta, but she has relatives in Tapalpa so I took a look at your people:2. Rosalio Beltran Cardenas, son of Jose Beltran and Paula Cardenas. I looked up the IM (Informacion Matrimonal) and was able to take your line a few generations back. I checked each child who had a birthdate and found Jose Beltran is Jose Ramon Beltran and Paula is Paula. HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL

Dear Mayra
The “tribe native to that region of Jalisco” ancestry that your family spoke about may come from Maria Guillerma Pinto. She is often found in records without her surname and “Coyota” written after Guillermina. Many genealogists mistakenly think Coyota is her surname.

Rick A Ricci

Thank you! I did notice that in one of the records but I wasnt sure what it meant. Was that a term they used for Natives? I also found her as Gullermina Nila on a different document, but I later found that to be her mother's last name.
