Barbara,
Can you take a picture of the word and attach it to an email? Sometimes deciphering the style of writing is the trick.
Rick

Yes. It's hard to read these bulletins. Lots of weird punctuations.

Hello Everyone, Can someone take a look at the link I've included please. I cant figure what type of work is stated for Juan Aguirre on his death record. I've tried looking it up in spanish to english dictionary, but I don't think he was a "Tagger".
Thanks for the help!

Hola amigos del foro, se que muchas veces se ha hablado acerca de María de Islas y Moctezuma, mujer de Andrés Martín Camacho, vecinos de Sierra de Pinos en 1625 aproximadamente. Mucho se ha hablado acerca del porque usó el apellido de Moctezuma y la duda de quienes son sus padres.
Hace días encontré lo que podría ser una pista de quienes son sus padres. Me gustaría saber si alguno de ustedes tiene el dato de quienes son sus padres, ya que lo que yo encontré es un entronque de acuerdo a una dispensa de matrimonio, pero hay cosas que no me parecen. Además las dispensas a veces tienen errores de entroncamiento, por eso lo estoy tomando con cautela.
Me gustaría discutir este tema en este foro con quien crea tener conocimiento sobre la ascendencia de esta mujer, ya que tengo dos dispensas que me ayudan a encontrar pistas. Saludos y gracias.

Jorge Luis Ramírez Gómez.

> 1. Batres in Zacatecas/Aguascalientes (Spam)
> 2. Re: Batres in Zacatecas/Aguascalientes (Danny Alonso)
Thank you. My most recent Batres is Macaria Batres, born 10 Mar 1872 in Fresnillo, Zacatecas. She was the daughter of Cleofas Batres (dead by 1906) and Maria de Jesus Almeida (born 1855 in Fresnillo), who were married in 1874 in Fresnillo. They had 10 children that I could find, including Macaria, my great-grandmother.
Cleofas Batres’ parents were Zacarias Batres and Petra Garcia. I know nothing more about them than their names from subsequent marriage and baptism records.

> 3. Re: Cristobal Macias (Danny Alonso)
I have both Macias and Balades in my direct family lines.

Most recent is Maria de la Luz Eduarda Valades, married to Josef Eugenio de Herrera in Rincon de Romos, Aguascalientes on 2 Jul 1797.
Maria’s father was Pablo Santiago Valades, married to Maria Josepha Bartola de Lira on 28 Sep 1757 in Cienega de Mata, Jalisco.
Pablo’s father was Blas Valades, who died by 1757. Blas was married to Antonia Moreno.

I do have a Christobal Macias in my direct line. Christobal was the son of Manuel Macias and Maria Lopez (which name appears in the dispensa you referenced and who was dead by 1719). Christobal was born in Aguascalientes, Aguas. He was residing in Celaya, Guanajuato in 1719, the year he got married to June 2 to Phelipa de la Cruz de Sierra in Celaya at Nuestra Señora de la Purísima Concepción. I don’t have information on where his father Manual or his mother Maria were from.
Christobal had two children that I have found, Maria de la Encarnacion Macias and Mathias Macias. Matias was born about 1723 and Maria was born in 1725 (baptised 26 Mar 1725 in Celaya).
I am very intrigued by the shared name of Maria Lopez. Could you send me a copy of the dispensa please? From the quotation you cited, it seems that Maria Lopez would indeed have been the grandmother to any child of Christobal, since Maria Lopez was his mother. However, the quotation is a bit confusing since it seems like Maria Lopez is the illegitimate daughter of Christobal Macias. I’d love to review it directly. I’m excited to think we’ve made a connexion!

Hello Nuestros Ranchos Forum,

I'm trying to see if anyone has information on a Cristobal Macias, probably
Cristobal Macias Valadez, he would be a child of one of the early Macias
Valdez, and he was probably born late 1500s or very early 1600s. The only
information I have is from a dispensa from 1693 that says he had an natural
born daughter with a mestiza, Magdalena Marta:

la dicha María López, su abuela, fué hija natural de *Cristóbal Macías*,
español y hombre noble, y de Magdalena Marta, mestiza, sus bisabuelos los
cuales son difuntos y fueron vecinos del Pueblo de Teocaltiche el
Grande...(3 de junio de 1693)

Does anyone know of an early Macias Valadez that had a son named Cristobal?

Danny C. Alonso

Hola a todos. I am researching the Batres line in Zacatecas/Aguascalientes. This was my paternal grandfather’s mother’s line. I have only been able to go back to late 1800s using familysearch.org . Does anyone have family information or ideas on how to expand the search in this area? I’m glad to share what I have found so far with anyone out there who may have connections to this family name.

Estoy en proceso de investigar la familia Batres en Zac./Aguas. Ésta fue la familia de la madre de mi abuelo paterno. Hasta ahora sólo llego a fines de los años 1800 usando familysearch.org . ¿Alguién tiene más información familiar ó ideas en cómo mejorar la búsqueda en este ámbito? Dispuesto a compartir lo que he descubierto con quienquiera tenga mas conexiones con este apellido.

Thanks/gracias.

Because Robert (gandalf3.1@netzero.com) said it so clearly and so well I am
moved to ask that I be unsubscribed as well. When he said we are "under
attack and we need to stand together..." I agreed. As he went further and
stated "The content of SP often reflects the very ideology of those in this
country who despise us, this is why many of us are upset. I'll say no
more...but if I have to compromise my beliefs to remain here, I can do
without..." I stand with Robert. Unsubscribe me as well. I will fight those
voices in my own way in other places. Thanks Robert for your articulation.

For those that feel strongly enough please send me an email to
makas@nc.rr.com so I can unsubscribe you.

It is my opinion that there is enough valuable information within the Somos
Primos newsletter to continue sending it to the group. Do I agree with
everything within its pages, no, do I agree with some of the things within
its pages, yes. The parts I agree with I use, the parts I disagree with I
reject. However if I feel strongly enough about the disagreeable parts I
would consider taking it to the author or even discussing it in a forum that
is political in nature. The NR group is not the political forum to share
your opinions. Look over the SP newsletter and you will find some nuggets of
valuable information and you'll also find info that is disagreeable.

On my computer I have a mouse that is trained to just click and delete
things that I KNOW I won't agree with. I even have an option called "Create
Rule" that allows me to enter key words in a subject that will automatically
delete email that I find offensive or dangerous.

Again if my sharing the SP NL with the group if so offensive please I beg
you to either unsubscribe yourself or send me (makas@nc.rr.com) an email so
I may gladly accommodate you.

Ps: I'll be unsubscribing folks that continue a dialog that is political in

The above title can be found under reference material. It has dates and names of Testaments of various vecinos de San Luis Potosi, 1600. there are about 10 of them.

I concur with the voices calling for the end of the political rhetoric on
this site. While I am interested in Latino points of view, this is not the
place for it. My point of view grows out the efforts to establish Ethnic
Studies in our universities and high schools, workers rights, social
justice for all communities, opposition to mass incarceration, economic
opportunities for our people, etc, etc. I do not need voices to which I
object while I am doing genealogical work. Please put an end to this.

Dear Primos, friends and family:
There is so much troubling conflict and division in our nation currently, it is painful to observe. The current focus seems to be to change history, by taking down evidence of our history.

Taking down statues do not change history. What the statue represent is where we've been. Exclusion causes confusion.

Where we are now, the haven for all searching for freedom and safety, grew out of a slow acceptance of the tenets on which our constitution is based, respect for the rights of the individual, based on Judeo-Christian beliefs.

We did not get here through rioting in the streets, advocating murder, burning cars and buildings. We have achieved civil equity by law and order. Yes, there are abuses and injustices, and those obviously need to be stopped.

However, to accept lawlessness as the answer to civil injustices escalates the chaos. It does not solve the situation of learning to live with those who are historically different from us, the newly arrived, as well as those with the earliest of ancestral Americans.

Who are we, why and where did we come from? Those are the questions.
Erasing the past, veils the facts.

The world needs a strong America.
God bless America. Mimi

Is there a history book or published paper on the first Spanish families of Zacatecas, Mexico, preferably in English? I have read the papers from John P Schmal on the History of Zacatecas and its indigenous people but I wanted to know if there has been a write up on the ranches and the first families of Jerez, Zacatecas, in particular, Los Rodartes. I am right at the point in my research wanting to know more of the peoples of my ancestors and why they settled where they did. Who was the first Rodarte family from the “Los Rodartes” area? Where did they come from and when? Any suggestions or guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Anyone familiar with ambrotype photography that was suppose to be used during mid 1800's? Is there a collection or database of photos there?

That time was the childhood of my great grandfather Calixto Madera (1853? - 1923). and my great great grandparents Patricio Madera (1792 - ?)/Maria Dimas De La Paz (1819 - 1885)

That would be great to find old photographs of them.

Hi Primos,

Im tracing back my ancestors in Teocuititlan de Corona, Jalisco. My 5th great-grandmother Germana Gutierres Barragan born 1831 La Manzanilla, Daughter of Antonio Gutierres and Juana Maria Barragan.Married Antonio Nóvoa in 1851.

I found her baptism record 1831 Teocuititlan de Corona. list the Grandparents paternal- Sisto Gutierres born abt.1800 and Maria Cirila Ocampo Maternal- Vicente Barragan and Maria Dias.

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939L-7M35-PL?i=188&cc=18745…

Found 3 baptism records for Sisto and Maria Cirila Ocampo, this is were started to get tricky, paternal grandparents Antonio Gutierres, the grandmother is different in all three records Maria Sicilia Delgadillo, Lozano and Suaso. maternal GPs are the same in all 3 records as Juan Trinidad Campos and Maria Anastasia Lopes

as Delgadillo
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:N8VT-R9H

as Suazo
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:N57T-9FH

i have not been able to find a marriage or baptism record for Sisto Gutierres and Maria Cirila Ocampo.I did find however a marriage record for Antonio Gutierres and Maria Sicilia Suazo married 1772 in Tepatitlan de Morelos.

Marriage Record for Ant and Sicilia Sauzo

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-VBSK-KR?i=27&wc=3J8S-B…

I couldn't find anything as Maria Delgadillo or Lozano, so I'm assuming that Suazo would be the right information for the baptism records. It would make sense that Sisto was born after their marriage in 1772 around 1780 his son Antonio around 1805 and Germana 1831. If someone could check this out and let me know what they think I would really appreciate it want to make sure i have the right information.

Thanks

Hello to each and everyone,

I hope some very savvy members can help me in finding out who the mother of Pedro Velasco Navarrete married to Mariana de Aceves was.

The following is a very long Dispensa stating Andrea Rodríguez married to Juan de Aceves -
Pretenso's parents, Pretenso also named Juan de Aceves - was the sister of Cristóbal Becerra and also the sister of this Pedro Velasco Navarrete:

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-6K9Y-SH

The file is full of testimonies confirming these relationships.

There is a Dispensa stating Pedro Velasco and Mencia de Velasco were siblings:

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-XZ9Y-XR

So Pedro and Mencia were father-only siblings and their father was also named Pedro Velasco (In the long Dispensa Pedro is named "El Mozo", something similar to "Junior").

Therefore Andrea Rodríguez and Pedro Velasco were mother-only sibling.

Who is that woman who probably married both, Pedro Velasco (The father of Pedro and Mencia) and also married the father of Andrea Rodríguez and Cristóbal Becerra?

Any help is highly appreciate.

Rubén

hi everyone,

I came across some ancestors from Tepatitlan de Morelos, Juan Gutierres De la Torre married to Maria Josepha Servantes. Found their marriage record 1743 in Tepatitlan, Jalisco Juan is the son of Andres Gutierres De la Torre and Josepha Sanches. Maria Cervantes parents are Joseph Servantes and Juana Carrillo.

8 OCT 1743 Tepatitlan
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-KMS8-GD?i=69&cc=187459…

I found a marriage record for an Andres De la Torre and Josepha Sanches August 1722 Tepatitlan. Im asumiing is the same couple i dont think the paretns are listed and i cant seem to undestand the writing.

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-K795-JF?i=194&wc=3JDW-…

So my question is why do does Juan use Gutierres De la Torre and if the other Andres are the same person why does he only use De la Torre and not Gutierrres.

Does anyone have any information on this family from Tepatitlan de Morelos? I cant seem to go pass Andres or find any information on the Carvantes couple. I did read a cuple post on here about some De la Torre families, but i cant seem to find any information on that especific couple.

Thanks

The first volume (A-C) is out of stock but there are still copies of the second volume (D-G) for 220 pesos and the third volume (H-I) is available for 350 pesos.

I will be ordering a set of the latter two volumes and Dr. Hillerkuss has agreed to provide the first volume electronically (on a CD). I am wondering if there are any other members who might be interested in acquiring a set. My parents are currently in Mexico and I will have the books sent to them and they will be able to deliver them to me sometime in July. I imagine that the order (two books plus CD) should run about USD $70-$75 a set including shipping expenses.

Please contact me PERSONALLY via the site contact form (click on my user handle on this message, then click the contact tab when my profile comes up) if you are interested in ordering.

Happy Father's Day to everyone

For Father's Day I would like to share the ancestry of Alvaro Herrera. This work is not complete as I am missing a generation, possibly two generations, because the Alvaro Herrera that came to Mexico is eighty years old when the Alvaro Herrera that was married to Catalina Aceves de Hermosillo is said to be born by some genealogists.

The Alvaro Herrera that came to Mexico descends from:

1) Alonso de Alarcón (alcaide de Zafra) + Juana de Santoya

2). Hernan Ruiz de Alarcón + Doña Catalina De la Torre

3). Juan de Alarcón (not married) Leonor Paéz (daughter of Jewish Portuguese
Bartolome Paéz)[because of the social status of Juan Alarcón he was not allowed to marry Leonor]

4) capitán Juan Ruiz de Alarcon (d. late 1593) + Ana López de Ribera, (daughter of Ana López de Ribera (daughter of Diego López de Ribera + Isabel de Villalobos)

5) Maria de Alarcón + Juan Herrera

6) Alvaro Herrera traveled to the Americas in the latter part of the 16th century and left many descendants in what is now Mexico.

7) [missing generation(s)] [though it is possible that there is not a missing generation, it is not likely because (6) is eighty-two when (8) is born. I have not seen the evidence yet for (8)'s birth year so he possibly could have been born earlier.

8) Alvaro Herrera + Catalina Aceves de Hermosillo

Sorry that I haven't been able to find the missing generation to complete the line of descent.
