To the Forum: I had asked for help to find my grandfather Rito Gonzalez. I wanted to let the Forum know that I found my grandfathers family. They also had been searching for family members. We are now in contact through e-mails and pictures. For though of you searching don't give up. My new family is more than I had hoped for.

Thank You to the Forum

I am searching for my grandmother Leandra Castaneda She was born on February 27 1890 in Zacatecas, Mexico. She was married to Rito Gonzalez.

Thank You

I need help reading a marriage document of Antonio Hilario Franco and Ma. Ysabel Antonia Cervantes. I am having trouble reading the names of the parents of Antonio Hilario Franco. The record is in the top left corner. Antonio Hilario Franco is an ancestor of a close friend, and distant cousin, that passed away three weeks ago.

Here is the marriage record link:

Not sure if anyone else has this family in their line or has worked out this Dispensa for Lorenzo Alonzo de los Ynojos y Beatris Flores de Baldes. I am hoping someone does and can review this tree based on the information I read and let me know if it needs anything else I might have missed. Thanks.

The reason why i'm asking is because the last ruler of granada apparently also went by the boabdil which sounds quite similar to bobadilla.

Hello - looking for assistance from the Yanez Family line of Nochistlan, Zacatecas.

Joseph Yañez-Pérez was my 6th great-grandfather (circa 1686–1751) married to:
Antonia Anciso (circa 1690-?)

Joseph was the son of Juan Yanez del Monte (1640s-1673) married to:
Thomasa Úrsula Pérez de Frías (circa 1650-?)

Thomasa's father was Matheo Perez De Frias (circa 1626–1693) married to:
Thomasa de la Cruz (circa 1629– ?)

I am trying to determine the true parents of Matheo Perez de Frias. In a couple of ancestry sites, I have seen the parents noted as:

Luis Delgadillo Perez de Frias (circa 1598–1649) married to:
Melchora de Los Reyes Rodriguez de Carvajal (circa 1604–1656)

However, I do not have proof of this. Does anyone in this forum have documentation to prove this? Or do you know who his parents might be if not Luis and Melchora?

Thank you!

Hi,

I descend from Onofre Lomeli whose mother is Maria Nunes and father is listed as "no conosido".

How was his or other children's surname determined in these circumstances?

Thanks

I am new to the forum and researching various family members in Mexico. My question today is around the Yanez family in Nochistlan, Zacatecas. My ancestors include Gonzalo del Monte (circa 1650) and Jose Maria Yanez (circa 1800). I am curious if anyone knows the origins of the Yanez family. Did they come from Spain or Portugal? If anyone has anything they can share, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I just found out that my Corchado branch settled in Las Moras, a ranch next to Aguajes. Apparently the child was born there....but also it seems that they/the family might also have lived in la hacienda de buenavista....can anyone help?

Amigos de Nuestros Ranchos creo que tengo una pista para saber quienes fueron los padres de Teresa Chávez, la mujer de Nicolás Marín de Peñaloza. La siguiente dispensa matrimonial menciona algunos datos interesantes:

Montejano Hilton, María de la Luz, Sagrada Mitra de Guadalajara Antiguo Obispado de la Nueva Galicia (México DF, 1999), p. 116. "Teocaltiche, Jal. Abril 12 de 1716. Exp. 48.- Información Matrimonial.- Manuel Marín, hijo legítimo de Nicolás Marín y de Theresa de Chávez; con Juana Díaz Montañez, hija legítima de Diego Díaz Montañez y de Andrea Robledo, españoles y vecinos de este partido. Denuncia de Cristóbal de la Cueva, español: Este denunciante como hombre, tuvo con dicha Juana Díaz acto carnal y que dicho Manuel Marín, que pretende el matrimonio es su primo hermano, hijos de dos hermanos. En el Pueblo de Teocaltiche, en 17 de abril de 1716, se entregaron los autos y diligencias al contrayente para solicitar la dispensa del impedimento que resultó de segundo grado de afinidad por cópula ilícita. 7 fojas."

En ella se menciona a un Cristóbal de la Cueva, que es primo hermano de Manuel Marín, por ser hijos de dos hermanos. Revisando mi base de datos encontré que hay una mujer llamada Margarita Chávez Fragoso, casada con Domingo de la Cueva. En base a esa información, creo que es posible que Teresa Chávez sea hermana de la mencionada Margarita Chávez, y por tanto hija de Pedro Chávez Fragoso y Margarita López. No lo tengo comprobado, mas digo que puede ser una pista importante para todos aquellos que descendemos de dicha pareja.

Saludos.

Is anyone out there researching the Información matrimonial films for Zacatecas, ZAC?

If so and if you just happen to come across any references to any Puente, Puentes, or Del La Puente can you let me know. The missing 160 years of Baptism films for this area has created a serious brick wall for me and any help would be appreciated.

thanks,

Joseph Puentes

I've just returned from walking the land of my grandparents with the surnames of Luna Herrera. It was breathtakingly beautiful. Of course, I was left with only tons more questions.

It is located within a very healthy walking distance from Cicacalco, but many of my own relatives (Lunas) came to settle from Tepechitlan.

Does anyone know about this "rancho"'s history? It is very large - and easily sustained hundreds upon hundreds of families back in the 1800's, but an exodus seemed to occur in the 1900's (my own grandparents came to escape the revolutionary war), but many more came to the U.S. for economic reasons.

Would love to learn how this incredible large parcel of land called "rancho aguajes" came to be....who were the original settlers, etc...

--------------------------
Acabo de venir de la tierra de mis abuelos, cuyos appellidos era Luna y Herrera. Era sumamente bello. Claro, a llegar me dejo con mas preguntas.

El rancho Los Aguajes esta localizado no muy lejos de Cicacalco, tengo entendido que los que vivian en el rancho caminaban a Cicacalco para los bailes. Tambien esta situado no muy lejos de Tepechitlan (donde la familia Luna llegaron) y de Tlaltenango.

Alguna persona sabe sobre la historia de este rancho? Es muy grande - y parece que mantuvo muchos familias durante 1800's, sin embargo durante 1900's muchos empesaron salirse a E.U. Mis abuelos eras unos de los primeros que nunca regresarons - se fueron durante la guerra de revolucion, sin embargo parece que muchos mas vinieron por razones economicas.

Me encataria sabe como este rancho tan grande que se llama Los Aguajes llego de "ser" - quienes eran los que habitaron la area, etc....

Greetings,
While reading an informacion matrimonial that contained consanguinidad en tercero con
cuartro grado. Two of the testigos claim that "conocio bien a toda la familia incluso el tronco que lo fue, Francisco Dias". What does "el tronco" mean in this context?
Is Francisco Dias the head of the family or the relative they have in common?
Thanks so much,

This time, I'm researching my wife's ancestors, and I'm trying to find the location of this town called San Francisco, I assume, in Jalisco.

Antonio Martinez and Maria Merced Ramos were married on March 16, 1872 in San Ignacio de los Encinos (now Degollado). It mentions that at that time, Degollado was an auxiliar parish of Ayo el Chico (now Ayotlan). Both Antonio and Merced are mentioned to be from a place called San Francisco "en este partido".

I can't find any San Francisco's around Degollado. Can someone more familiar with that parish tell me if this place's name changed over time or any idea where is it located at?

Hi everyone

I have a couple in my tree that I am stuck on. I haven't had much chance to read through actual films looking for them. Currently I am reading IMs for Villanueva, but this couple is next on my list so I was wondering if anyone knew anything or had any clues.

All I have are their names on the record of their son's first marriage
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-F7XC-G?i=221&wc=3JHQ-H…

And their names again on the baptism record of their grandson from their son's second marriage (padrinos Antonio and Maria Rosalia Macias)
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-57R5-V?i=149&wc=3JXL-4…

I could not find an IM in Colotlan for the first marriage and I read through the Colotlan death films and did not see death records for Joseph or Mathiana, nor have I been able to identify any siblings for Marcelino. Imagine Joseph and Mathiana would have been born sometime between 1700-1730 depending on how old Marcelino is. He died in 1838.

I wondered if anyone more familiar with families from Asientos de Ibarra knew anything of this couple.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I have been searching for my great great grandfathers baptism reg. for the past year but come to a road block. Just wondering if anyone can give me some pointers how to find it. The only document I have is his marriage reg. and it says he is originario from Pueblo Nuevo, which was San Ignacio de los Encinos, which is now Degollado, Jalisco. https://www.ancestry.com/interactive/60017/MM9.3.1_2FTH-1-18570-15014-0…

I have looked in the following municipals, Ayotlan, Arandas, Jesus Maria and Degollado but no luck. I found one in Hidalgo, Mx. for July 1852 but there is no way that is him because it's 3 states away and it says he was originario from above.

His parents were, Juan Hernandez and Maria Guadalupe Martinez, which are very common names. I have found documents for them but not 100% it is them and that is the reason I'm searching for his baptism reg. to confirm it's them. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Esther

When a child was born, it appears that the parents had it baptized prior to registering it
with the civil government. For obvious reasons of infant mortality and salvation, I suppose.

When it came to marriage, which would the couple do first? Church or civil ceremony?

Thanks so much,
Alice BB
