seeking info

I'd like to hear from anyone who might have info on this family. I believe that Victor must have been the son of Charles Francis Delmas - am I right? Below is all I know.

Victor Delmas married Concepcion Sandoval about 22 June 1868 in El Sagrario or Santo Domingo, Zacatecas, Zacatecas, Mexico. Two daughters are known: Ma. Soledad, christened (same place as above) 27 March 1869; and Ma. Guadalupe, christened 12 June 1871. Soledad married David Diaz de Leon 16 February 1885 (same place as above).

Hopefully leading to the Victor Delmas family in Zacatecas, I can document
the lineage of Charles Francis or Carlos Francisco Delmas of San Carlos,
Tamaulipas, Mexico back to France. Generation 1 - Francois Pierre Delmas,
born circa 1674 in France; generation 2 - Francois Delmas born 21 Feb. 1711
in France; generation 3 - Pierre Francois Louis Delmas born 1751 in Nantes,
France; generation 4 - Francois Aime Delmas born 15 Sept. 1787 in St.
Domingue; generation 5 - Charles Francois Delmas (Charles Francis/Carlos
Francisco) born 14 Aug. 1810 in Harford County, Maryland.

I'll order some LDS films and see if I can come up with anything else on
Victor or any other Delmas in Mexico.

Suzy:

The only way to find out is to order the film (0245111) and see who the parents are. It is too bad that they did not extract the parents into the IGI for that film.

There are Delmas much closer to Zacatecas than Tamaulipas in Durango that may be the ancestors of this Victor:

JOSE FELIPE BENICIO DELMAS VILLANUEVA
Christening: 28 AUG 1842 Santiago Papasquiaro, Santiago Papasquiaro, Durango, Mexico
Parents:
Father: JUAN ANTO. DELMAS Family
Mother: PULINA VILLANUEVA
Batch No. C605212 Film 0654999

Delmas is a Catalan name... I have a good friend whose family has a pipe factory in Granollers in Calaunya.

Banuelos -Trevino Genealogy

Marge, Juanita,

My genealogy is already in gedcom files on this website under Esther Herold. My gedcom only goes to Diego Trevino and Francisca Alcocer.

Marge and Juanita, have you uploaded a gedcom of your Trevino/Velasco family to this website?

esther herold,

No, I do not have any of my information ond a gedcom. I am a novice in computer technology and am missisng out on a lot that is going on out there with you savvy people. I am practically teaching myself, which is not that great. I have not had formal education on computer literacy.

Thereis a question on the relationship between the Trevinos and the Banuelos. Here is what I have:

ALCAIDE DIEGO VELASCO TREVINO married FRANCISCA ALCOZER, who was born in SPAIN in 1500.
Her parents were HERNANDO BANUELOS and BEATRIZ ISABEL ALCOZER. FRANCISCA used her
mother's maiden name only, like many did.

Disappearing Member Genealogy File Folders

A number of members have written about their member genealogies folders going missing after updating them. I apologize for the glitch. It appears that due to a change we made to the site when file folders were being updated, they were being taken out of the "Member Genealogy" category and therefore no longer appearing in the file folder listing. However, the folders are still all there and we have restored those of which we have been made aware we have to their correct place. We have also fixed the glitch so this should no longer happen in the future.

Arturo,

When you say being updated does that mean that you or some other administrator was doing the updating or that we personally were updating our own folders? The reason I ask is that I have not updated my folder since the beginning of the year and mine file was one that had temporarily disappeared a couple of weeks ago.

Here's wishing you a wonderful trip to our beautiful Mexico........warts and all Mexico and it's people are still beautiful.

Atentamente,
Alicia de San Jose, Calif

If you updated your file folder in the last couple of months, please check the Member Genealogies section to make sure that it still appears there. If it does not, please send us a message at moderator (at) nuestrosranchos.org

=====
Algunos miembros nos han escrito para decirnos que sus carpetas de genealogia se habian desaparecido despues de actualizarlas. Mil disculpas por este molestar. Parece que despues de hacer unos cambios al sitio hace un par de meses, cuando un miembro actualizaba su carpeta, el sistema sacaba la carpeta de la categoria de "Genalogias de Miembros" y asi no aparecia mas en el listado de carpetas. Sin embargo, esas carpetas seguian existiendo y las hemos restaurado a su sitio correcto cuando nos han alertado a esta occurencia. Tambien hemos arreglado el problema tecnico para que ya no ocurra esto en el futuro.

Si actualizaste tu carpeta en los ultimos dos meses, por favor revisa el listado de Genalogia de Miembros para asegurar que aparece aun ahi tu carpeta. Si no esta, por favor avisanos a traves de un mensaje a moderator (at) nuestrosranchos.org

Quien era Bernardo Salado...???

Un saludo a todos los compañeros del grupo. Mi nombre es Guillermo Figueroa Strecker. Soy nuevo en NuestrosRanchos, aunque ya tengo varios años de venir trabajando en mi genealogía. Siguiendo la línea que va de mi tatarabuela María del Refugio Ruiz de Esparza hasta llegar a Lope Ruiz de Esparza (uno de los primeros pobladores de Aguascalientes) he llegado a familiarizarme con un gran número de personas que vivieron no solo en Aguascalientes, sino en muchos otros pueblos y villas de los Altos de Jalisco y Zacatecas. Todas ellas figuran en mi base de datos, que cuenta con más de 5,000 personas. Como todos sabemos, Aguascalientes ocupó un lugar estratégico en el "Camino de la Plata" durante los siglos 17 y 18, ya que quedaba en la ruta por la que se transportaba ese precioso metal desde las minas de Zacatecas hasta la capital del reino. Empezé buscando a los padres de mi tatarabuela María del Refugio Ruiz de Esparza, y poco a poco fuí encontrando a sus abuelos, bisabuelos

Bill,

I have added to my genealogy file research complied on my Salado/Esparza line, with research documentation dating back to 1585.

Comentario

Rose,
I would love to get some of the information you have on the Sallado/Ruiz de Esparza connection. What I have is a Bernardo Salado who married Juana Fernández Vaulus, aka Juana de Siordia. This is not the Bernardo Ruiz de Esparza (aka Bernardo Salado) married to Catalina Lozano. However, since Juana de Siordia was the daughter of Pedro Fernández de Vaulus and María Gabai de Moctezuma (aka María de Siordia) she was also the first-cousin of Bernardo Ruiz de Esparza.

A daughter of Bernardo Salado and Juana de Siordia, Bernarda Salado de Siordia, married Gaspar de Aguilar; and their daughter Juana de Aguilar Salado married Hernán Flores de la Torre, el encomendero de Juchipila.

I got this information from another genealogy researcher a few years ago. Unfortunately, he made some wrong assumptions which I rather not mention in this column. Does this agree with the information you have?

Bill Figueroa

Comentario

Thanks for your input, Tony. Interesting observation. Although the word "salado" in Spanish means "salty" and could refer to people who worked at salt mines, the alias "Salado" given to Bernardo and some of his descendants was probably not from that origin but from the well known Salado surname used in Spain before the discovery of America. Maybe in the early days it referred to an occupation, but I don't believe this is the case with Bernardo Ruiz de Esparza. He was a well known landowner and cattle rancher who inherited land from his father and passed it on to his descendants. As far as I know, there were no salt mines in Aguascalientes.

I believe the alias "Salado" came from a well known or distinguished
gentleman in Nueva Galicia, but I can only find a Bernardo Salado married to Joana de Siordia as the only "true" Salado at that time. Joana was Bernardo Ruiz de Esparza's first cousin, so Bernardo Salado was indirectly related to Bernardo Ruiz de Esparza through the marriage to his cousin. I have asked historian Mariano Gonzales Leal for his input on this subject, but so far I have not heard from him.

Like yourself, I am also a descendant of Lorenza Ruiz de Esparza and Luis Tiscareño de Molina. Actually, I am a descendant of Bernardo Ruiz de Esparza & Catalina Lozano, Lorenza Ruiz de Esparza and Luis Tiscareño de Molina, and María Ruiz de Esparza and Nicolás de Ulloa. All three lines tied at different points through intermarriage in the family (distant cousins).

Thanks again for your input. Regards,

Bill Figueroa

Bill, my Spanish isn't so hot but is it possible that "Salado" in these
instances may refer to "salt" in some way? could salt miners be referred to as "salados"? just a wild thought but I have seen sometimnes in my research that a first name would be used and the then what appears to be last name could actually be the occupation or other description of the person. Normally, its not that obvious but I agree that Bernardo "Salado" appears to be a mystery. I too tie into the Ruiz de Eparza line (through the Molina/Tiscareno lines).

Comentario

Hi Bill:

You are correct in your definition of "Salado" but I would also like to add
my two cents worth to your "SALADO" definition...In Mexico "Un salado" is a
person who is down and out, who can't do anything right, nothing works for
him, no matter how hard he tries to get ahead, he has bad luck, people avoid
him...In other words a looser. Sorry if that is not what you expected or
wanted to hear but that is very common use of the word in Mexico.

Hi John,

Ja-ja-ja. That is funny, John. I know that the word salado is sometimes
used to describe a person who is cursed or down on his luck (ese cuate está
salado). I don't think the alias "Salado" was used in that sense for
Bernardo Ruiz de Esparza, especially considering that it is found in church
and civil records not only for him but for his sons and daughters, even for
some of his grandchildren. It would be an insult to call someone "salado"
on any type of written record, don't you think?

Rgds,
Bill

Julian Alviso born 1856 to 1858

Maureen,
To say that you know Julian was born in San Miguel is a little optimistic, he may or may not have been born in San Miguel. I have found for example for one individual when his children were born and it will say he was from a certain place such as La Estancia and in the birth of one of his other children it will say he was from Tlachichila and the birth of another child will say Monte de Duranes. Take that as a lead but until you find proof you can surmise or guess that he was born in San Miguel.

Dear Alicia:
Thank you. I have researched baptisms for San Miguel from 1838 to 1895. I have found Julian's siblings. I have his parent's marriage and the age of his mother when she married. I calculated her childbearing years. She had a child every one or two years. There is only a 1 year gap 1856 to 1858 and also 1865. I subtracted wrong, so the above date of 1856 to 1858 is not the correct gap. It is 1865 as he was 40 years old listed on a baptism in 1905 where he was a sponsor. All his siblings were born in San Miguel. I have just looked again at the 1865 batch for San Miguel. Sadly I have found that the 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarter for 1865 are not on the microfilm. Also from my records that I had printed when I went through the microfilm by hand do not have any 1865 records from June to December. I have contacted the LDS to find out if they know why those records were missing. I need another document to conclude Julian's age, but I feel 1865 is probably the one.

Comentario

Alicia,
You are absolutely right! I have been unable to find my own mother's birth or baptismal records. She never had any documentation, all her0 life she believed she was born in Aguascalientes. When she was about 50, we all piled into the car and went about finding long lost family. We found an aunt in Aguascalientes and she told my mom that she was actually born in Villa Garcia, Zacatecas! Well, I've searched Villa Garcia microfilm, and she's not listed on or near her birthday. Needless to say, I currently await microfilm on Aguascalientes and hope for the best. Good luck! Alice BB

One other detail is the supposed age. I have one ancestor who had several children and with each child the age listed for him remained the same. My take on that is always to calculate +/- 10 years of age from the age listed in the document. You may have to order the films for San Miguel for the years before 1862 and after 1870.

Take it as a possibility that he was born in San Miguel and then again maybe not. After 3 years of searching for the birth or baptism of my father in-law, I still have not found a birth or baptismal document.

Good Luck,

Julian Alviso born 1856 to 1858

I have been in search of my husband's grandparents birth and marriage records. I recently found them on a Valle de Guadalupe baptism of Jose 1/15/1906, son of Juan de Alva and Trinidad Jauregui. Trinidad was my husband's maternal great aunt. It listed Julian Alviso as 40 years old and from San Miguel and Catarina Jaurequi as 28 years old, but I could not read her place of origin. I was unable to print a copy yet as the printing machine in the history center has been out of service. Hopefully when I am able to print a copy, I will be able to read Catarina place of origin with the help of a magnifying glass. Well on with my question. I now know that Julian was born approximately 1865 in San Miguel. The problem is I have gone through the microfilm batch J603298 and Source # 0279429 for San Miguel 1862-1870. I had ordered the film and went though the records by hand individually. There is no Julian Alviso. Julian has a total of six brothers and sisters and all of
them
were ba
ptized at San Miguel El Alto. I have found his sibling's records, but no Julian. I know that Julian and Catarina exist as I have found five of their children and they are listed as sponsors on other baptisms. This is becoming very frustrating. My question is if possibly the microfilm is not a complete record? Also, was there another church in the vicinity of San Miguel El Alto that possibly Julian may have been baptized? Any suggestions on my next step?

Comentario

Dear Alicia:
Thank you. I have checked all the baptisms is San Miguel from 1838 to 1895. Sadly none of the children's baptism listed the age of Julian or Catarina. I know his approximate death, but did not find his death in Valle de Guadalupe. I have found Catarina's age in two different baptisms when she was a sponsor, so I think her age may be correct. I know Julian's mothers age at marriage and calculated her childbearing years. She had a baby every one or two years. There are only two gaps where Julian could have been born, so I am thinking the 1865 year is correct. Sadly the microfilm is mising the 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters of 1865, so this is why I may not be able to find Julian.

There is no doubt you need to use precautions in Mexico.. just as you would any where else including stateside. When we took the bus from Guadajara to Jerez Zacatecas I asked why the roads had been clear-cut back so far and the bus driver said it's because bandits rob the bus's sometimes and this way they have a running chance!

When we got to Tamazula Jalisco and tried to visit a Mendez relative who didn't know me he was extremely fearful of us. When we returned we found he had been kidnapped for ransom, he's family owns casas de cambio so that made him a target.

In Jerez everyone was drinking bottled water much to my surprise, they said the iron content is so high it stains their teeth! Mostly they drank Coka-Cola in glass bottles. They would not allow me to walk anywhere alone but said it was because it would reflect badly on my family! I did find that all the families I visited drank alcohol much more and earlier in the day than we would stateside so beware of long lunches that extend into dinner. Tequila and Sprit seem to be a normal afternoon beverage in Jalisco, Colima and Zacatecas!

When we went to a Cabana in Tapalpa, a couple of hours from Guadalajara we were told not to worry,. that they pay someone to protect the property and people when they visit there, it seems that cutting down and stealing trees is a big problem there and our hostess got guards after finding 20 pines missing just after she bought the property to build her home on.

Advice that was given to me was not to wear jewelry, not to go where there were no women and children and not to go drinking at night. I found in Mexico many places do not take credit cards so you really do need to have cash on hand or access to casa de cambio. I payed attention to all advice and had a wonderful time with many very gracious people. Come to think of it, it's the same advice friends gave me the first time we spent a vacation in the L.A. area...

Deena,
I enjoyed reading of your experience in Tijuana...........the stories on the news always sound worse than they really are. The same could be said about the US from the Mexican's point of view. When we go to Mexico you hear stories from the people who have never lived or been to the US about the lack of respect for authority in the United States, about the breakdown of the family because most women work and therefore the children are left to fend for themselves without a figurehead of respect and authority in the home during the day. One also hears about the breakdown in the morality of the family and the promiscuity of the youth, the rampant drug use of the young people etc. etc. I could go on and on. This they hear from the news as portrayed in the US media.........they get the same news there that we get here via CNN and other major newsbroadcasters via cable and from hearsay from people traveling back and forth. Is there some truth here? I would say yes. Is this the
whole truth? No, we can pick anything apart and find good and evil, right and wrong everywhere.

The truth is that crime is everywhere and we need to be careful everywhere. Of course be especially careful when you travel to some unknown region whether it be in the US, Mexico or elsewhere, respect the rules and laws of the country, city or county you are visiting. Respect the customs and traditions of it's people.

When my in-laws were alive we would go to Ensenada at least 3 times a year so that our children could have as much possible contact with their grandparents and the extended family.............It was a time of complete freedom for our children as they could go anywhere without any fear. They could run and play freely at their grandparents and cousins' places, ride horses, feed the chickens make mud pies, pick corn, tomatoes, squash and so much more. They learned of the language, foods, music and family traditions of their parents and grandparents and nothing you can read in a book could ever take the place of the real life experience.

Anyone who is thinking of going....... I say go for it, the warmth of the people especially in the small towns is like nothing else you will ever experience. Yes even the border crossing was an experience.........going both ways.

Thanks for posting this topic.....it brought back many fond memories.

My children and I lived in Tijuana for two years so my six children
(ages 1 to 12 when we arrived) could learn Spanish and be immersed in the
culture of their father's side of the family. (My husband came to visit us
two weekends every month; at the time he was a homicide investigator with
our local sheriff's department, and there's no such thing as a two-year
sabbatical -- even if we could have afforded it.)

I read the bulletin posted earlier about the dangers of traveling in
certain parts of Mexico, and Tijuana was listed as a place with a high rate
of crime. We lived near the bullring in Fraccionamiento Escondida; it was
the most wonderful experience of our lives, and the only crime we
experienced was that a sweatshirt hanging on the line to dry disappeared.
Meanwhile, the bicycles we had left in America for safekeeping were stolen.

I always bought bottled water to drink-- still do, as a matter of
fact, but we brushed our teeth from the tap. None of us was ever sick
during our stay -- except for the two littlest ones, who got chicken pox
near the end of our stay.

My mother-in-law worried the entire time that something horrible
would happen, however. Luckily, we ignored her warnings. I say ignore your
relatives, and take a chance. It will be an adventure you'll never forget.

Thanks for your input, Deena. Thirty years ago when I was working on my graduate degree in pre-colombian art history, a university sanctioned trip to the sites in mesoamerica was cancelled. A friend and I went on own to Yucatan, Guatemala, and Oaxaca, and had the time of our lives. Yes, even then, we actually did experience a minor political incident in Oaxaca, but all's well that ends well. My family and friends' concern didn't stop me from visiting then, as it didn't last June, when I took my son to Yucatan. Although my family is from Mexico, and as a child we took yearly trips into the interior "a conocer", they can't help but express their well-meant concern. Yes, then and now, we always drank bottled water. Take care. Alice B. Blake

Trip to Jalisco and Zacatecas

I will be heading down to Mexico again in a week. I will be there for a whole week, but a large part of it will be consumed with wedding details of a close cousin of mine.

However, if there is something that someone wants for me to take down or bring back that will not be too cumbersome or troublesome I would be more than glad to oblige. I will be in Guadalajara and my grandparents' town of Villa Guerrero, Jalisco which is very close to Tlaltenango, Zacatecas.

Hola Arturo, Thank you for the offer. Let us know how the trip goes. Since my research has yielded nothing on my family, I'm thinking about going down to Zacatecas and Aguascalientes next summer. Due to the reported incidents in Mexico, friends and family don't think it's such a good idea. Be safe and have a great trip. AliceBBlake

Alice,

When I read email, I dont get it. Mexico is not Baghdad. Unless I misunderstand your concern for Arturo. Certainly there is issues in Oaxaca, but there is also issues in all of our American cities - with gang violence, road rage, poverty and mindless acts of violence (little girls assasinated in the quiet schoolhouse of the Quaker country).

One may say, the political upheaval in Oaxaca or the scuffles due to political passion in the Mexican congress is grave, but I say, these are localized conflicts motivated by politcal zeal. Mexico is full of very nice, hardworking, educated people, cultured, generous, hosptitable and safe people.

I am going to Zacatecas and Jalisco in January. I am not fearful, frightened or worried about my safety or that of all my family who lives in Mexico or who travel back and forth. I was just in Ensenada, where I introduced friends of mine to fine wineries and gourmet restauratns.

Gringolandia is not the only safe or civilized place in the world.

The bulletin listed below was issued by the US Department of State. I, for one, do not plan on giving up my travels to see this beautiful country, and its peoples.

http://www.state.gov/

Safety
General information on personal safety abroad can be found in our brochure, A Safe Trip Abroad, on our home page at http://travel.state.gov/travel/tips/safety/safety_1747.html.
Avoid demonstrations and other activities that might be deemed political by the Mexican authorities. The Mexican Constitution prohibits political activities by foreigners, and such actions may result in detention and/or deportation.
Exercise caution in traveling to the southern state of Chiapas. Armed rebels and armed civilian groups are present in some areas of the state, and there is often no effective law enforcement or police protection. Violent criminal gang activity along the State’s southern border – mostly aimed at illegal migrants – continues to be a concern. U.S. citizens traveling to Chiapas are encouraged to contact the U.S. Embassy for further security information prior to traveling to the region.
Sporadic outbursts of politically motivated violence occur from time to time in certain parts of the country, particularly in the southern states of Chiapas, Guerrero and Oaxaca.
Crime in Mexico continues at high levels, and it is often violent, especially in Mexico City, Tijuana, Ciudad Juarez, Nuevo Laredo, and the state of Sinaloa. Other metropolitan areas have lower, but still serious, levels of crime. Low apprehension and conviction rates of criminals contribute to the high crime rate. Travelers should leave valuables and irreplaceable items in a safe place, or leave them at home. All visitors are encouraged to make use of hotel safes when available, avoid wearing obviously expensive jewelry or designer clothing, and carry only the cash or credit cards that will be needed on each outing. There are a significant number of pick-pocketing incidents, purse snatchings and hotel-room thefts. Public transportation is a particularly popular place for pickpockets. Be vigilant in bus and train stations and on public transport. All U.S. citizen victims of crime in Mexico are encouraged to report incidents to the nearest police headquarters and to the
nearest U.S. consular office.
Visitors should be aware of their surroundings at all times, even when in areas generally considered safe. Women traveling alone are especially vulnerable and should exercise caution, particularly at night. Victims, who are almost always unaccompanied, have been raped, robbed of personal property, or abducted and then held while their credit cards were used at various businesses and Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs). Armed street crime is a serious problem in all of the major cities. Some bars and nightclubs, especially in resort cities such as Cancun, Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Acapulco, can be havens for drug dealers and petty criminals. Some establishments may contaminate or drug drinks to gain control over the patron.
U.S. citizens should be very cautious in general when using ATMs in Mexico. If an ATM must be used, it should be accessed only during the business day at large protected facilities (preferably inside commercial establishments, rather than at glass-enclosed, highly visible ATMs on streets). U.S. and Mexican citizens are sometimes accosted on the street and forced to withdraw money from their accounts using their ATM cards.
A number of Americans have been arrested for passing on counterfeit currency they had earlier received in change. If you receive what you believe to be a counterfeit bank note, bring it to the attention of Mexican law enforcement.
Kidnapping, including the kidnapping of non-Mexicans, continues at alarming rates. So-called "express" kidnappings, an attempt to get quick cash in exchange for the release of an individual, have occurred in almost all the large cities in Mexico and appear to target not only the wealthy, but also middle class persons. U.S. businesses with offices in Mexico or concerned U.S. citizens may contact the U.S. Embassy or any U.S. consulate to discuss precautions they should take.
Criminal assaults occur on highways throughout Mexico; travelers should exercise extreme caution at all times, avoid traveling at night, and may wish to use toll (“cuota”) roads rather than the less secure “free” (“libre”) roads whenever possible. In addition, U.S. citizens should not hitchhike with, accept rides from or offer rides to, strangers anywhere in Mexico. Tourists should not hike alone in backcountry areas, nor walk alone on lightly frequented beaches, ruins or trails.
All bus travel should be during daylight hours and on first-class conveyances. Although there have been several reports of bus hijackings and robberies on toll roads, buses on toll roads still have a markedly lower rate of incidents than buses (second and third class) that travel the less secure "free" highways. The Embassy advises caution when traveling by bus from Acapulco toward Ixtapa or Huatulco. Although the police have made some progress in bringing this problem under control, armed robberies of entire busloads of passengers still occur.
In some instances, Americans have become victims of harassment, mistreatment and extortion by Mexican law enforcement and other officials. Mexican authorities have cooperated in investigating such cases, but one must have the officer's name, badge number, and patrol car number to pursue a complaint effectively. Please note this information if you ever have a problem with police or other officials. In addition, tourists should be wary of persons representing themselves as police officers or other officials. When in doubt, ask for identification. Be aware that offering a bribe to a public official to avoid a ticket or other penalty is a crime in Mexico.
It is increasingly common for extortionists to call prospective victims on the telephone, often posing as police officers, and demand payments in return for the release of an arrested family member, or to forestall a kidnapping. These calls are often placed by prison inmates using smuggled mobile phones. Persons receiving such calls should be extremely skeptical; most such demands or threats are baseless. Persons receiving such calls should contact the U.S. Embassy or closest U.S. Consulate, or the Department of State, for assistance.
Crime in Mexico City
In Mexico City, the most frequently reported crimes involving tourists are taxi robbery (see below), armed robbery, pick-pocketing and purse-snatching. In several cases, tourists have reported that men in uniforms perpetrated the crime, stopping vehicles and seeking money, or assaulting and robbing tourists walking late at night. As in any large city, individuals should exercise caution and be aware of their surroundings, especially when walking anywhere in the city.
Business travelers should be aware that thefts occur even in what appear to be secure locations. Thefts of such items as briefcases and laptops occur frequently at the Benito Juarez International Airport and at business-class hotels. Arriving travelers who need to obtain pesos at the airport should use the exchange counters or ATMs in the arrival/departure gate area, where access is restricted, rather than changing money after passing through Customs, where they can be observed by criminals.
Metro (subway) robberies are frequent in Mexico City. If riding the Metro or on the city bus system, U.S. citizens should take extreme care with valuables and belongings. Avoid using Metro during busy commuting hours in the morning or afternoon. Tourists and residents alike should avoid driving alone at night anywhere in Mexico City.
Taxicab Crime
Robbery and assaults on passengers in taxis are frequent and violent in Mexico City, with passengers subjected to beatings, shootings and sexual assault. U.S. citizens visiting Mexico City should avoid taking any taxi not summoned by telephone or contacted in advance. When in need of a taxi, please telephone a radio taxi or "sitio" (regulated taxi stand – pronounced "C-T-O"), and ask the dispatcher for the driver's name and the cab's license plate number. Ask the hotel concierge or other responsible individual calling on your behalf to write down the license plate number of the cab that you entered.
Passengers arriving at Mexico City's Benito Juarez International Airport should take only airport taxis (which are white with a yellow stripe and a black airplane symbol) after pre-paying the fare at one of the special booths inside the airport.
Crime in Border Cities
Visitors to the U.S. - Mexico border region, including the cities of Tijuana, Ciudad Juarez, Nuevo Laredo, Nogales, Reynosa and Matamoros, should remain alert and be aware of their surroundings at all times.
Drug-related violence has increased dramatically in recent months, and shows no sign of abating. While U.S. citizens not involved in criminal activities are generally not targeted, innocent bystanders are at risk from the increase in violence in the streets of border cities. In Ciudad Juarez, Nuevo Laredo and Tijuana, shootings have taken place at busy intersections and at popular restaurants during daylight hours. The wave of violence has been aimed primarily at members of drug trafficking organizations, criminal justice officials and journalists. However, foreign visitors and residents, including Americans, have been among the victims of homicides and kidnappings in the border region. In recent months, the worst violence has been centered in the city of Nuevo Laredo in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas, where more than 45 U.S. citizens were kidnapped and/or murdered between August 2004 and July 2005. U.S. citizens are urged to be especially aware of safety and
security concerns when visiting the border region and exercise common-sense precautions such as visiting only legitimate business and tourist areas of border towns during daylight hours.
Mexican authorities have failed to prosecute numerous crimes committed against American citizens, including murder and kidnapping. Local police forces suffer from a lack of funds and training, and the judicial system is weak, overworked, and inefficient. Criminals, armed with an impressive array of weapons, know there is little chance they will be caught and punished. In some cases, assailants have been wearing full or partial police uniforms and have used vehicles that resemble police vehicles, indicating some elements of the police might be involved.

Visitors are very vulnerable when visiting local "red light districts," particularly if they are departing alone in the early hours of the morning. In Ciudad Juarez and Tijuana, there has also been a rise in automobile accidents in which municipal police extort money from U.S. citizen victims.
Cancun and Other Resort Areas
Over 3 million Americans travel to Cancun and other Mexican beach resorts each year, including as many as 120,000 during "spring break" season, which normally begins in mid-February and runs about two months. Excessive alcohol consumption, especially by Americans under the legal U.S. drinking age, is a significant problem. The legal drinking age in Mexico is 18, but it is not uniformly enforced. Alcohol is implicated in the majority of arrests, violent crimes, accidents and deaths suffered by American tourists.
There have been a significant number of rapes reported in Cancun. Many of these have occurred at night or in the early morning. Attacks have also occurred on deserted beaches and in hotel rooms. Acquaintance rape is a serious problem. In other cases, hotel workers, taxi drivers, and even security personnel have been implicated. Anyone who is a victim of a sexual assault or other crime should report it immediately to the nearest U.S. consular office and should endeavor to make a report to Mexican authorities. Do not rely on hotel/restaurant/tour company management to make the report for you.
Under the best of circumstances, prosecution is very difficult (a fact some assailants appear to knowingly exploit), but no criminal investigation is possible without a formal complaint to Mexican authorities.
In recent years, moped rentals have become very widespread in Cancun and Cozumel, and the number of serious moped accidents has risen accordingly. Most operators carry no insurance and do not conduct safety checks. Some have been known to demand fees many times in excess of damages caused to the vehicles, even if renters have purchased insurance in advance. Vacationers at other beach resorts have encountered similar problems after accidents involving rented jet-skis.
There have been cases of mobs gathering to prevent tourists from departing the scene and to help intimidate them into paying exorbitant damage claims

Hello! Thank you for you offer, I need nothing. But jus in case, about a year ago I needed certain birth certificate, been in Guadalajara I placed my order but was told it wasn´t still digitalized so that I had to go in the municipio it belonged. So I couldn´t get it, I had a ticket for a plane to take me back later the same day. Took a taxi cab and told such story to the driver. He said he knew a lot of cases of that nature and advised me about "El Chato" who is a man that works in the Registro Civil, the offices located in La Normal zone in Guadalajara, Jal., he is in charge of maintenance, wears a blue, long shirt, and for a nice and reasonable tip can get a copy of any record. Hope he is there nowadays.

Hola! El registro civil en México comenzó en 1800, si mal no sé; en tu buscador de la web escribe cuquio, jalisco y tal vez se abra una página con la historia de Cuquío, tal vez indique la pertenencia de Cuquío por épocas. Suerte. Así descubrí que Jesús Maria, Jalisco, por ejemplo pertenecía a Ayotlan en el siglo XVIII, cuando en ciertos años no encontré registros se me ocurrió buscar de la forma que te digo y escribí en mi buscador jesus maria, jalisco y ahí estaba la historia.

Agustin,

Welcome to the group! I have family from Momax and Tlaltenango also. I also have the book you mentioned. Take a look at my files to see the families I am researching, they include Raigosa and Luna and many others.

Good luck on your search,
Angie Godina

missing Mendez file

I've done it again.. always misplacing things!

Joseph or Arturo, I submitted my Mendez family genealogy file but now I can't find it in my file.. can you locate it for me since I must have put it somewhere it doesn't belong?

I can't find it either. Send it to me along with any other files you
want in your folder and I'll make one up for you. I truly can't remember
if you had one or if your work was only in the gedcom area. Give me a
couple of days and I'll make one up for you.

include the following information:

1) your full name
2) your username
3) the name you want each file named
4) geographical area within our area you are searching
5) email address for your subscription to NR group.

thanks,

joseph

Joseph or Arturo,
Not only is my Mendez file missing, now I'm missing from the file section... I think I'm in the Gedcom section only.. is that correct? I have no idea how I did that! I guess I'm not lost, just got moved over...

At last something I can relate to even if I don't really understand the subject matter? The Melchor de Valencia y Piña y doña Juana de Peña they are talking about are my direct ancestors from Tanganciquaro Michoacan. I am related through their son Melchor and wife Ysabel Morfin married 5 Feb 1664. Their daugther Gertrudis born June 1687 married Estevan Alvarez del Castillo April 1706. Their daughter Celia Francisca Alvarez del Castillo married Manuel Gerardo Gutierrez 8 Oct 1748. Manuel and Celia moved from Michoacan to Jalisco where their son Benito was found but I have not been able to find where in Jalisco the children of Manuel and Celia were living and married. How nice to see someone familiar even if I don't know what they are talking about! My mother is the Gutierrez from this line.

Hola a todos:

He iniciado correspondencia electronica con El Dr. en Derecho Don
Mariano Gonzalez Leal de la Cd. de Leon, Gto., autor del libro
"Retoños de España en la Nueva Galicia", cuya segunda edicion
considerablemente aumentada, ya que en tentantiva seran 10 tomos
o mas, y que segun la informacion de Don Mariano esta preparando
y espera imprimirla a fines del 2007 o inicios del 2008, le comente
sobre las inquietudes de los Navarro Gaytan y esto fue lo que me
contesto al respecto,y lo comparto con ustedes:

-----------------------------------

No se han localizado las dispensas Navarro - de la Torre en el Archivo del
Episcopado. Deben estar en la parte de las cajas que tenìa aparte el Padre
Eucario y que todavía no son abiertas.
La documentación relativa al matrimonio Navarro - Orozco está en el Archivo
del Provisorato Michoacano, en la Casa de Morelos de Morelia. No la tengo.
Le puedo decir, sin embago, por otras fuentes, que don Luis fue el segundo
hijo del matrimonio; que nació en 1663; y que su matrimonio con doña Isabel
de Orozco y Villarroel ocurrió en 1683.
Esta doña Isabel nació en Zamora en 1671; fue hija de Juan Maciel-Blancarte
y Orozco del Castillo, originario de Tangancícuaro, y de doña Ana de Piña,
nacida en Tangancícuaro en 1628. Abuelos paternos: Álvaro Maciel y doña
Isabel Orozco del Castillo; maternos, Melchor de Valencia y Piña y doña
Juana de Peña.
En mi obra en preparación hallará usted otros datos sobre estas familias.
Le mando un cordial saludo,
Mariano González-Leal.

Ya vi el archivo anexo, lo llenare, pero indiquenme a quien se lo
envio de regreso.

Daniel, this site shows that Huanusco is close to Aguascalientes so Joseph's info is probably correct, worth ordering the film. http://biblio2.colmex.mx/bibdig/dicc_cubas/base3.htm

Joseph thanks for this info in fact he was married to a Dolores (Maria) but
i don't no if it was in Aguascalientes, Eugenio was born in Huanusco,
Zacatecas. Do you know who Eugenio's parents were or was he from huanusco,
zacatecas? the marriage date does sound reasonable one of his sons was
mariano camino born abt 1855. I have Dolores Martinez born around 1840. they
were 4yrs. apart. Hope to hear from you soon and thanks.

no I don't have any more information that what I've taken off the
www.familysearch.org site. Do you need help finding your local family
history center? With your username "mormonboy" I thought that you were
using the family history center network. If so you need to order that
film and see if you are fortunate enough for the marriage document to
have listed the location Eugenio came from in hopes it says Huanusco. If
it does then it might also list his parents.

Figen and I and John Robles

Figen and I have been married since 1995. . .not a real long time but
sort of. Anyway it's amazing how she and I think alike at times and at
the same time.

I had been thinking something this morning and she just piped in with
