Nuestros Ranchos Site

In the libro de defuciones (Deaths) what does the the phrase " por 
cruz alta" or " Cruz Bajo" mean ?  Also I hav seen reference to money 
or "Alms" paid?   for example "en fabrica de dos Reales".....
 any help abbreciated..

I have also always seen Vecinos de ******  as being neighbors and 
then usually the Rancho is named.

I would like some help with an abbreviation I've found and havent 
been able to read... the Bautismo entry reads as follows:

En la yglesia Parrpquia de SS Jose de Guehucar en Onze de Marzo de 
Noventa y Ocho Yo el B* D* Jose del Valle Cpp. ........ 

The abbreviation that  is pestering me is the B*. 
D* is surely "Don"  but the B* may be an abbreviation for a religious 
title or something else...??

Gloria thanks so much for the info on Aguascalientes. It is coming just
in time as I recently found out that one of my GGGG grandparents, Pedro
Torres [see attachment] was originally from "la villa de Aguascalientes."

oh and the second link has a slight misspelling so here is the corrected
link:

http://www.muniags.gob.mx/historico/haciendacieneguilla.asp

I just put the links in the links section of the group. Thanks

For members interested in Aguascalientes, you might check out their
excellent webpage: http://www.muniags.gob.mx Click on the various
icons across the top to check out different sites.

Or, you can check out the various haciendas or ex-haciendas directly;
a brief historical description is given of each at:
http://www.muniags.gob.mx/hisorico/haciendacieneguilla.asp This also
links to the other ex-haciendas.

I think I recall somebody asking for maps of Mexico way back when...
here is a link to early maps in Mexico:

http://www.library.ci.corpus-christi.tx.us/earlymaps.htm

I would, also, be interested in the missing Sombrerete records.  My 
great grandmother was born there and I believe her parents were, 
also, born there.  Her name was Ynes Salas [b: about 1845].  Her 
parents were Jose Maria Salas and Urbana Ruelas.  I can't go any 
further back at this point.

Anyone have a clue what happened to the records from 1679 to 1839 from
Zacatecas, Zacatecas?

I just today found out that my Puente[s] line was only temporarily in
Sombrerete and origianlly was from Zacacetas, Zacatecas. Woe is me if
those records are not to be found anywhere.

I'm in search of a map that would have the different colonial areas of
Mexico listed. I've know of Nueva Galicia, Nueva Vizcaya, Nueva Espana,
Filipinas or Nueva Filipinas, and I think there were others. Does anyone
know of a map that has these areas geographically plotted?

thanks,

joseph

look on the left for the link to "Catalogo de Tesis"

under the heading you can find a pretty good list of publications for
Jalisco, Zacatecas, Aguascalientes, and Chihuahua along with other topics.

i just added the Matrimonio batches to Tepetongo. Now if anyone wants to
send me a few of their favorite towns we could have a sleuth of Batch
numbers online by the end of the year. Why not consider sending me just
one Town in Jalisco, Zacatecas, or Aguascalientes. Take at the following
and preferably send them to me in this format. thanks,

joseph
