Nuestros Ranchos Site

Moderatorship in the nuestrosranchos.org group can be work and also a
thankless job. The work behind the scenes makes the group function
properly and as the originating moderator of the group I just wanted to
take a moment to thank some special people in the group for their
tremendous help in making the group what it is:

Arturo Ramos for his outrageous above and beyond effort at building the
new website and site website mastery. Your efforts have cause the
tremendous growth in the group. Growth that would have caused the
YahooGroup to fade into extinction. The group was on the brink but with
your help has bounded back to a very healthy group. Sincere thanks Arturo

Kitty Cortez for her tireless efforts at sending out the 15 day and 30
day notices to all the perspective new member applicantes. What an
effort and a warm abrazo Kitty for your help

Alicia Carrillo the Spam Master. You would not believe how much Spam the
group attracts. Thanks to her efforts the Spam never gets to you via
some technological wizardry and some tireless efforts by Alicia.
Muchisimas Alicia!

Enrique Legaspi and John Gonzalez for their help when I needed some
translation work. I sincerely appreciate the willingness of these two
gentlemen to help me when I needed their help to purer and more precise
communication.

I'm hoping that the group propers in 2008 and that your elusive
ancestors make themselves known in your research,

joseph

ps: if Enrique or John wanted to translate this for the rest of the
group. that would be wonderful.

pps: Arturo is always looking for volunteers that have website coding
and functionality skills. I can always use help in case Kitty or Alicia
ever want to take a break. Volunteer positions available.

My name is Joseph de Leon. My ancestral roots come from both HUEJUCAR, JALISCO and JEREZ, ZACATECAS. Some of the surnames of my ancestors are: DE LEON, CARLOS, BANUELOS, FLORES, COVARRUBIAS, VILLANEDA, CAMPOS, BORREGO, and many others.

My father's name is Elias de Leon who was born in Huejucar, Jalisco and my mother is Maria del Transito Carlos who was born in Zacatecas, Zac. probably in Jerez, Zac. because that's where most of her ancestors are from.

I am related to the Banuelos family through both my father's side (his mother Petra Flores has a sister named Teodora Flores who married Ysac Banuelos) and my mother's maternal grandmother Vicenta Banuelos who married Manuel Villaneda.

I'd like to visit both Huejucar and Jerez sometime this spring 2008 and see my ancestral land before I die. I know that I have many CARLOS cousins in Zacatecas who have never heard of me.

My goal is to learn when and where my grandfather Francisco Covarrubias was born and when and where he died. He was probably born Abt. 1880 in Huejucar and probably died Abt. 1910-1915 in Piedras Negras but I don't have the proof. He was a music composer ( I still have his original music scores) who was beaten to death by Pancho Villa's thugs because they thought that he had the keys to the local bank.

His father was Nicolas de Leon (also a music composer) who was married to Refugio Covarrubias on 08 Jun 1866 in Huejucar, Jalisco. I have learned that he had 2 brothers and one sister, Pascual, Espiridion, and Maria Eugenia who were all born in Huejucar.

My siblings and my sons all inherited my grandfather's love of music and they compose music as well.

Have any of the Banuelos males done dna testing?

I'm new to this, and I need help connecting my GGG grandfather José de los Santos Romo de Vivar (b.1807) to what seems to be the original location of most of the Romo de Vivar family in the region of Aguascalientes. I have discovered through family records and FamilySearch transcribed christening records a lineage that takes me back to Bernabe ROMO, listed on a baptismal certificate as the father of Gregorio ROMO (b. abt 1780) of Encarnación (de Díaz), Jalisco. But I am having trouble pinning him down. I have found a Bernave ROMO DE VIVAR who married Anna Gertrudis FRANCO in 1761 in Tepatitlán, Jalisco--and those are the names of my ancestor's parents. But the trail goes cold in Tepatitlán, because I can't find out any more about Bernabe (Bernave) ROMO DE VIVAR, even though I am pretty sure that is his correct name.

I have found an IGI record of a man called Bernabe ROMO-DE-VIVAR who was born in 1740 in Rincon de Romos, in the state of Aguascalientes. The only thing that makes him a good candidate is that he was born at the right time, about 20 years before the marriage of Anna Gertrudis FRANCO in 1761--in Tepatitlán, which is pretty far away from Aguascalientes. And to make things worse, there is an IGI listing for a man with exactly the same name who was born 20 years earlier in Rincon de Romos, which is even farther away from Tepatitlán.

How confusing!

I need help finding the right Bernabe (Bernave) Romo de Vivar and getting back on the trail!

Can anyone help me with the BANUELOS family tree? I have many Banuelos cousins that share a common GGF from the Huejucar and Zacatecas area. My mother's maternal grandmother was Maria Vicenta Banuelos born Abt. 1840 and reportedly lived to be 100+ years old.

I'm not familiar with the town of Huejucar Jalisco but my Aunt who's family is from there has asked if I could find anything on her families there.
Her parents were Salvador Banuelos and Emma Madrid no dates but approx. 1900 in Huejucar
Salvadors parent Issac Banuelos and Teodora or Todora Flores abt 1875
Teodora Flores's parents were Marcos Flores and Andrea Sandoval married 19 Feb 1867 in Huejucar
Salvadors parents were Santos Banuelos and Leonides Quesada married 20 April 1871 in Huejucar.

I've found children for these parents but no parents for Santos Banuelos or Leonides Quesada. My Aunt was told that Santos father was Francisco Banuelos from Spain but I've found nothing to prove that. Is anyone working any of these lines from Huejucar Jalisco Mexico?

Thanks, Linda in Everett

Mary I'm waiting for a marriage film from Zapotiltic Jalisco Mexico (0225928, years 1800-1851) that has your ancestors, Urbano Sanchez and Dolores Ruis marriage record. Do you already have it or would you like me to make a copy of it for you? The history center reopens on Jan 7th. My ancestors are on that film too.

Tepatitlan is not that far from Aguascalientes........people traveled long distances all the time. It might take them days or weeks to get there but travel they did. Keep in mind that they did not go to work every day if they were agrarians, they grew their subsistence crops and in fallow times would travel from town to town to see family. Some were traveling merchants whose living it was to go from town to town selling their wares. In many instances these traveling merchants up and left their home town if they found another town more desirable with better prospects for making a living. Some males had families in more than one town, they might take up with someone in another town.

So many possibilities exist, some up and left if they or a family member had killed someone. They would change their name and take up life in another town under an assumed name, quite often it was a grandmother's surname or some other family name.

Keep your mind open to all the possibilities and don't assume that any town could be too far.

I had the same issue with Bernabe!

It is very common to have records from great distances this way. There was a lot of movement during that time as a lot of families were still settling. Ill email you more info abt Bernabe tonight.

Well, I understand, but was furious when my husband decided not to teach my
children Spanish....I said he should speak to them in Spanish, and I would in
English...but he refused...and now both children regret not knowing the gift
that our parents bestowed upon us...for giving the gift of language is
understanding...

I digress...I wanted to address the subject of "kidnapping"...in truth, this
was a wide spread practice...particularly in communities that had not set up
accepted rituals. My father-in-law- "robo" my mother-in-law...and their
stories naturally differ...but when I was first exposed to this practice, I
realized that this was not new...indeed the practice of having a best man results
from the European ritual of taking a bride with the assistance of friends...

I am trying to find this place in Mexico. More specifically, I am trying to locate information on Hernando de Bidez who married Juana Bautista on May 23, 1593 there. His place of birth was Savilla. His parents were Alonso de Bidez and Leonor de Mrcia.If you know where this place is or was or if you have any information on this family please contact me.
Thank you.

Dear Fellow Researchers:

I was surprised to find out that kidnappings were not that unusual. Our ggrandmother was supposedly "stolen" from her parents by a foreigner who was either an engineer or delivered the payroll to the "Mines"

My ggrandmother was from Chihuahua and her parents name might have been"de la Mora or de la Moral". She was pregnant with my grandmother "Isabel" when her "kidnapper disappeared. .

My grandmother's father disappeared before she was born and her mother died when she was 4 so she was raised by the servants who gave her the name of Morales.

Her father (the foreigner ) supposedly had z's,x's and k's in his surname and my grandmother looked like she could be Russian or Ukranian.

I took the DNA (genographic project) hoping to discover what her ethnicity was but as of yet no matches have been found. I am Haplogroup X.

Anyone have any suggestions as to how I could trace my grandmothers roots either for her mother or her father?

Thank you,

> Hola Ronnie,

I do have the marriage of Juana Regina de Mendoza and Domingo Lomelin in my
database and a few entries for their children (Jose and Manuel), but it may
not be as complete as what you have since they are not my direct lines.
Anyway, what I have for Jose de Lomelin is that he married Michaela de
Hermosillo. My source for this marriage is a marriage dispensation I found
for their daughter, Francisca de Torres.

This is what I found in that marriage dispensation. It is roll
#0167971, date 27 Nov 1686, Xalostotitlan. It is a "dispensa de
consanguinidad" to marry Thomas de Paez. Francisca and Thomas were related
through their great-grandmothers Geronima de Benavides and Maria de
Benavides (they were sisters).

Geronima was the mother of Ana Muñoz. Ana Muñoz was the mother of Francisca
Sanchez Carranza. Francisca Sanchez Carranza and Francisco de Paez were
Thomas de Paez's parents.

Maria de Benavides was the mother of Domingo de Lomelin. Domingo was the
father of Joseph de Lomelin. Joseph de Lomelin and Michaela de Hermosillo
were Francisca de Torres' parents.

I don't have a spouse for Manuel de Lomelin in my database, but I'll keep
checking and let you know if I find anything. I hope you find this helpful.

Saludos from your new prima,

Maria E. Cortez

Thank you so much for the information, my Juan Jose Acevedo was married to Manuela de la Vega; since the only records are their sons marriages, I think they must have married between 1750 and 1773, as their first son was born in 1773. His name was Jose Torribio. I appreciate your information is Tlatenango close to Tepetongo?
There could still possibly be a connection don't you think?

Nicolas has just published his latest book "Historia de Teocaltiche Pueblo de La Region Caxcana Nueva Galicia-Zona de Los Altos de Jalisco". This book covers the history of area as well as naming well known families in the Teocaltiche area.

He mentions owners of haciendas and ranchos. He lists the ranchos in the district of Teocaltiche which includes: Agua Blanca, Aguegotita, Alaznas, Alconero, Anoria, Atepoca de Arriba, Atepoca de Abajo, Atotonilco, Belen, Bocadito, Buenavista Calera, Calerita, Canada del Mezquite,Canada Grande, Cienega de los Tejedas, Cofradia, Custique, El Catalan, El Refugio, El Santo, El Tablero, Gavilan, Haciendita, Jabonera, Las Animas, Las Trojes, Los Amoles, Los Carrillo, Los Gregorios, Mascua, Mendocina, Morisco, Nangue, Parras, Paso de Canas, Pedregoso, Pueblito, Puera de Cornejo, Rancho Viejo, Rincon de Abajo, Rincon del Zapatero, Rio Chico, Salitre, San Antonio, San Marcos, Santa Barbara, Tequesquite de Abajo, Tequesquite de Arriba, Villita de Ornelas.

He has a list of Ranchos in Mexticacan and Paso de Sotos also.

My research partner David Valdez y Marquez and I are also listed in Nicolas' bibiliography. Dave had shared information with Nicolas during our findings while extracting information from films in Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes and Teocaltiche, Jalisco. Needless to say Dave and I found out we are also related to Nicolas about 11 generations back.

I have contacted George Farias at Borderlands Bookstore in order to obtain a copy of this new book. George also sells Nicolas' other two books covering Teocaltiche, Jalisco.

Does anyone know if the extracting process happens on a film for the IGI do they extract everything or certain records? or just some?

Sounds like a report card, doesn't it.
I can't believe that it is the 2nd of December - already ... where has the time gone??

Well - this is a kind of report card on what I managed to get done in genealogy research. At the beginning of the year I set some goals for my Zacatecas research. I read many films, but the truth is that I didn't find all the information I had set as my goal.

This concludes my year-end report regarding my research. 2009 will most likely be devoted to research on my husband's family (in AR, MS, AL, NC, MO, TN)

Thank you all for sharing your discoveries - it is always exciting to read about the found primos. Good luck in the coming year.
BTW - we did have additions to the family tree this year in May, and last year (2006) in October.

Take care - Peace and blessings,

I hope somebody can answer this for me. I remember that, a long time ago, on the Yahoo Ranchos group, I downloaded a file that had the results of the INEGI Mexican census for the states of Aguascalientes, Jalisco, and Zacatecas. Later on, I think it was on Jonathan Walker's cd, I saw the complete review for all the states. It included the reported population on every single municipio and every single city, town and rancho in the whole country. Does anybody know where can I find this file? It was in Adobe format.

The reason I need it, is because I started volunteering in the 1930 mexican census project. I am currently indexing pages for the state of Chihuahua, and some of the localities are hard to read, so I thought that by looking at the current census listings, I could descipher the name I am looking for.

Hope somebody helps me with this.

Saludos,

Steve.
