Nuestros Ranchos Site

Good evening,

I am a new member of nuestrosranchos and find this an excellent resource
full of great information.

As I continue to research my family tree and fill in the gaps, one major gap
I have is not being able to confirm who are the parents of Juan de Moscoso y
Sandoval, married to Catalina Andrea Benavides Cortez in Nochistlan, in
early 1600. Some say Juan’s father was Lope de Moscoso Osorio y Castro (VI
Conde de Altamira) and his mother was Leonor Sandoval Roxas y Borja. Has
anybody found any confirmation of who his parents were?

I found this book “Nobiliario Genealógico de los Reyes y Títulos de España ”
which you can fully download from
(https://books.googleusercontent.com/books/content?req=AKW5QaeqgrLiRCz9C…
U4zaajKX5Xi68jbRMqBnED3joB5_XIktZUnklH0Umz-G2QRig8XzygFJpponVB_MOcy42Rbie13O

ZX0xWsztSxnDX38s8Up26pzAYd8S-78zk4AM1xEreQGD5HoFrLP4pCKsagwYoA ) The book is
quite interesting and has excellent information which could be helpful to
many of you. On pages 332-334, the author mentions Lope de Moscoso Osorio,
his wife and, although not clear to me, also mentions them having 10
children? If you have a chance to access this book, please read the first
paragraph on the second column of page 332. Afterwards, several of their
children are mentioned but not all. Unfortunately Juan Moscoso y Sandoval
was not listed and may be one of those missing.

In addition, in the next paragraph mentions one of his sons as Baltasar de
Moscoso y Sandoval as Cardenal de la Santa Iglesia Romana y Obispo de Jaen,
que fue Arcediano de Guadalajara, etc. Does anyone know what is Arcediano de
Guadalajara and is the Guadalajara referred to here in Mexico (Nueva España)
or somewhere else in Spain?

Again, I am just trying to find the missing link for me regarding who were
the parents of Juan de Moscoso y Sandoval.

Thank you for your time and feedback to help me get the info/source I am
missing.

Hello all,

My name is Michael Araiza and I reside in Tucson, Arizona.
I've been do genealogy for about 6+ years. I have followed my Araiza line from Sonora into Jalisco. Ambrosio Araiza (1746-1819) was the first in my line up north from Jalisco. There has been such wonderful research done and contributed on the Araiza line and I am sincerely thankful to all those researchers. I would love to share anything I know on the surname if any of my info can be of use.

As I have come across, I understand that the Araiza's are in Aguascalientes in the early 1600's, and Fernando Araiza is a Vecino of Zacatecas.

My general question is there any information on the "y Medina" surname?

I have noticed that the "Araiza Y Medina" has been passed down into several generations even when an Araiza is not necessarily married to a Medina. Is this due to importance of the surname?

For example Juan de Araiza y Medina I, his parents were Fernando de Araiza and Maria Guzman, wouldn't the name have been Araiza Y Guzman? Why did the "Y medina" keep carrying on?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I have read, Fernando Araiza and Juan Araiza Y Medina I are the the first to the new world from Los Reinos de Castilla por un lugar de la vizcaya?

Any info or discussion will be greatly appreciated.

Muchas Gracias,

Michael

Hi

Does anyone out there know of a branch of the Gabriel Lopez de Nava family (1600s and 1700s) living in Celaya or Apatzeo?

A woman with the last name Naba (Nava) married a man with last name Aguila in Apatzeo, and I would like to identify her (and him). Their parents are not named. The record is in the book of IM's. I will post the link here later when I have access to my other computer.

Hi

I am looking for the parents of Sebastian de el Aguila, married to Dona Maria Teresa Lopez de Nava.

They are named as parents of Don Diego Xavier de el Aguila in his marriage to Anna Maria Valdes 09 Dec 1778.

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-6SGW-94B?i=161&wc=M6QF…

I have searched high and low for Aguilas in Family Search. There are several Sebastians and one with potential. However, I need Sebastians marriage record to be sure....

Next step is going through images page by page, unless someone already has this information.....and is willing to share!

Regards,
Denise

On the subject of the three men named Antonio Villalpando in Asientos, I earlier posted the info below (reply to original post from George Fulton):

Submitted by Denise Fastrup on Mon, 2018-09-03 19:39.
I found three mentions of Antonio Villapando...three men or two or one and the same?

Here are the links and some info:

I apologize for the numerous errors on the site recently.

Our host has upgraded the server's PHP version to one that is incompatible with much of the software we are running. We are trying to migrate the site to newer versions.

As of today, I have migrated The Next Generation software used for the GEDCOM database to the latest version and that database should be working again.

Other upgrades will be forthcoming.

Hello Nuestros Ranchos Forum

I’m trying to find out information about Nicolas Martin and Juana de
Avalos, who would’ve been born about 1680 in Jalostotlitlan or San Juan de
los Lagos. Their daughter Teresa Martin aka Gomez married Antonio Limon
daughter of Diego Limon and Marta de Ornelas in 1717:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-XYZ7?i=85&cc=1874591

I’m not sure if Nicolas Martin and Juana de Avalos are the only names they
use since these families seem to use multiple names. Thank you

Tomas de Villalpando and Michaela Romo de Vivar had several children, most likely born in Rincon de Romos, which included Juan Villalpando. I have not found their marriage record.

Juan Villalpando married Refugio Gonzales, and had Bacilio, among others in the early 1800s. Tomas and Michaela are named in the baptismal records.

Bacilio Villalpando married Tomasa Martinez and Maria Librada Mendosa, and had children by both wives in the 1840-60 period. Juan and Refugio are named as grandparents in the baptismal records.

My question: who were the parents of Tomas de Villalpando and Michaela Romo de Vivar?

Hola prim@s,

On 16 May 1566, in Guadalajara, Alonso de Rubalcava appears as a witness in the PROCESO CONTRA JUAN DE BERMEO. His testimony is only in regards to the case, and gives no genealogical information - but it does list him as “maestro de la obra de nra sta yglesia(?), plus it gives us his approximate age (42/1524) and a signature (so we now know what he called himself: Alonso de Rubalcava or Robalcava).

Does anybody know his origins? Most have him as son of Mateo Rubalcava cc Juana Maria Gonzalez, and a grandson of conquistador Ruy Gonzalez and an Indian woman. I’ve seen books referenced, but I am leery of secondary resources, since we’ve seen some disproven with newer findings.

This new birth year raises new questions: if Alonso de Rubalcava was born ca 1524, that’s going to make it difficult for him to be grandson of a 1st conqueror. Ages given on these documents are rarely 100% accurate; I usually give them plus or minus 10 years. But even if he were born in 1534, it would be a tight squeeze. Anybody?
Gracias y saludos,
Manny Diez Hermosillo

I had found Padrones (Census) of Huejuquilla and Mezquitic, Jalisco, Mexico year 1783:

http://www.archivesportaleurope.net/web/guest

SGU,LEG,7015,2

Page 178.

Doesn't list them at all anymore. What happened?

Hi,

1. Has anyone with Ramirez surname from Nochistlan done a DNA test and found British/Irish dna?
2. Does anyone have info about parents for Antonio Ramirez (b. ~1733. d 27 Jun 1809 in Las Animas) or his wife Maria Gertrudis Rodriguez?
3. Any other thoughts based on below?

I ask this because dna test came back with some British/Irish dna. I filtered my dna matches by surname. All the common surnames for that area came back 0.0%, except for people who listed Ramirez. The Ramirez surname is only on one side of my family, which was expected based on the maternal vs paternal dna.

Based on the dna%, that they are great x5 grandparents, and how many children of theirs I descend from, I am guessing one of them is 25 or 50% British/Irish.

Hello All,

I am trying to find out some information on Cristobal Araiza(b. 1639) in Aguascalientes.

He is the son of Juan Araiza Medina and Maria De Isla Lossano.

In another forum on this site, Cristobal is mentioned as being married to a Bernarda De Mendoza.

There is a marriage in Aguascalientes on October 27, 1675 of a Xtoval Araiza and a Bernarda De Aldavo. I am trying to figures out if this is the same Bernarda.

Is there a connect to the Aldavo and Mendoza lines?

Now to Eztatlan...

There is an Antonio Araiza (b.abt 1675) married to a Jesus Bentura, I believe Antonio may be a son of Cristobal. In a baptism of their son Juan, I see a Bernanda Mendoza as a godmother. This makes me think there is a connection to Cristobal Araiza.

Cristobal Araiza and Bernarda Mendoza are godparents in Etzatlan as early as 1689.

My last question, is has anyone come across information on a Pedro Araiza Medina?

He is married in Guadalajara in 1688 and I suspect there is a relation to Cristobal.

Thank You all for your help.

Hi,

Is the GEDCOM not working at the moment?

Buen día, primero muchas gracias por aceptarme en esta página, tengo algunas preguntas, ojalá me puedan ayudar, buscando mi árbol genealógico, me tope con José María Plascencia y con Agapita Huerta me gustaría si alguien pudiera dar mas información sobre ellos, la información que tengo es:
Esposo: José María Plascencia.
Esposa: Agapita Huerta.
Fecha de matrimonio. 07-mayo-1828.
Lugar de matrimonio: Jalostotilán, Jalisco.
Hijos: Pedro (1840), José Lino (1828), Pablo (1838), Severo (1842), Margarito (1832), Anastacia (1832 o 1838) y Juan (1843).
Algunos de sus hijos nacieron en San Miguel y algunos se casaron en Tepatitlán de Morelos.

Cita de este registro

"México matrimonios, 1570-1950," database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JC81-K4S : 10 February 2018), Jose Ma. Placencia and Agapita Huerta, 07 May 1828; citing Nuestra Senora De La Asuncion,Jalostotitlan,Jalisco,Mexico, reference ; FHL microfilm 279,302.

Since this is about the Macias, this might have been posted already. However it was good practice in creating tree (thanks Manny).

Pg 258 IM Christoval Masias Espl. 56 yo, vdo. De Maria Toscano con
Phelipa de Oliba Masias

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-62T7-BT2

Pg. 260 is another marriage of brother Joseph to another Mary Masias (possibly step as christoval has different wife).
Pg. 261 is the following tree
Alonso Masias Hermanos Rodrigo Masias
Thomas Masias 1st Rodrigo Masias
Christoval Masias Pretenso 2nd Rodrigo (espuesto y luego reconocido como hijo)
3rd Christobal Masias
4th Phelipa Masia Pretensa

Testigo de don Juan Calvillo, Espl. De 72 anos
That through his ancestors he knows that Alonso Masias and Rodrigo are brothers….etc. He then states that because they are distant it wasn't known, but when Joseph Peres Masias (masias peres) brother of the pretense married Maria Masias, Hermana de esta Phelipa de Oliva con dispensa. That is when Gregorio Masias relative of hers knew that they had to be related. This caused fights amongst each other.

I was wondering whether anyone has any information on this couple Juan
Gonzalez and Catarina Barrera. They would've been born about 1650 in
Aguascalientes probly. They're the parents of my ancestor Blas Gonzalez who
is usually listed as a mestizo.

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-6XGS-2WT

some of the grandchildren use the name Gonzalez de Hermosillo, so I'm
guessing they're related to them in some way and probably the Juan Gonzalez
that's married to Catarina Barrera is probably Juan Gonzalez de Hermosillo
and I'm just wondering whether anyone has any information.

Hello Nuestros Ranchos Researchers,
I ran across an extremely unusual entry for 09/1859 in the Baptisms.
The September 2nd entry is not of a baptism at all, but refers to a celestial event.
I wish I had a better knowledge of reading Spanish, but I gleaned that
in the middle of the night colorful lights appeared. Googling the date I found that a
worldwide Solar Storm of 1859 of enormous magnitude occurred. Telegraph operators of the time were experiencing shocks and other power was disrupted.
I would love for someone to read the entry --it's not very long--and please translate it for us all to enjoy. What a great slice of life at the time and history worldwide. I can only imagine the conversations the next day!
Who says genealogical research is not exciting?!

Thanks so much,

Dear Members,

Because of Alex's help I now know have primary documentary proof of who the parents and paternal grandparents of Hernán González Corona (1577-1622) were through the Testamento (will) of Juan Fernandez Nieto found in Jorge Palomino y Canedo "Los protocolos de Rodrigo Hernández Cordero, 1585-1591 : escribano público de Guadalajara," Jal. 1972, pp. 145-147. I had seen the names mentioned, here on Nuestros Ranchos (but without citation), and on less than trustowthy sites. But now there is a primary document. As the testamento/will document shows in relation to Hernan:

Parents: Juan Fernandez Nieto (?-1590) cc. Catalina de León (?-?). Hernán's paternal grandparents were Alonso Martín (?-before 1590) cc. Isabel Álvarez (? - after 1590). Juan Fernandez Nieto, the testator, also gives us the critical information that his own father (Hernan's grandfather), Alonso Martin, was "conquistador que fue de este Reyno de la nueva Galizia."(p. 145). The will also gives the age of Hernán as 13 in 1590, which would mean he was born around 1577. That would make better sense than what I previously had which was that he was born ca. 1590. He died ca. 1622 since there is a "Bienes de Difuntos" (in PARES, Archivo General de Indias, 1 Documento(s). Folios 307-309.) list that gives the names of his wife, Ines de Tapia y Aguayo and children.

So, here is my puzzle, and I return to it after I first asked here on NR in 2014 (maybe someone has new info). I have not been able to prove definitively how I descend from Hernan Gonzalez Corona because there are at least two but probably three people of the same name and there is a lacuna of information in the mid 1600s. I have THREE Diego Gonzales (a. Diego Gonzalez Corona y Piña, b. Diego Gonzalez de la Madriz, and c. Diego Gonzalez Corona y Tapia de Aguayo. The one I can prove direct descent from is a Diego Gonzalez-Corona y Piña (or Peña). He is married to Juana de Santa Cruz. According to Agraz's "Esbozos Históricos de Tecolotlán," Diego Gonzalez Corona y Piña is married to Mariana Ruiz Galindo (p.356). This would make it easy because that would make Diegos a and b above of to be the same person given the Bienes de Difuntos info. However, there is a dispensa from the 1780s (admittedly a LONG time after) https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-653X-SN?i=96&cc=1874591 which clearly shows Diego as the son of a Pedro Gonzalez, of whom I have not found any other evidence. I suppose that if they were wrong and Pedro=Hernan, then the mystery would be solved.

Any insight anyone?

Thanks!

Sergio
