Introduction of Jesus Rodriguez

Hello all. I am Jesús Rodríguez. I am new to this endeavor, and am constantly learning new things. My main area of interest is the municipalities of Valle de Juarez (formerly known as Valle de Mazamitla), Mazamitla, and Quitupan in the state of Jalisco. La Barca and the rest of Los Altos are also of great interest. The last names I am researching are Vega, Cisneros, Chavez, and most importantly, Rodriguez.

My first goal is to trace my Rodriguez patrilineal line all the way to Spain. I am aware of how great a task that could be, especially for a surname that has been as thoroughly diffused as Rodriguez. Nevertheless, I have made some progress. Using the 1930 Census, other civil records, Church records, and help from relatives, I have been able to trace back my ancestry beyond any reasonable doubt to 1873. First, there is my grandfather, Pascual Rodriguez, born in 1902 in Valle de Juarez and son of Sostenes Rodriguez and Maria Vega. Siblings include Manuel Rodriguez (b. 1904) and Maclovia Rodriguez (b. 1906). Sostenes Rodriguez was born in 1873, baptized in Mazamitla on 1 December, and was the son of Manuel Rodriguez and Trinidad Silva, and grandson of Jose Rodriguez and Teresa Martinez.

The details get hazy from Manuel Rodriguez onward. According to the 1930 Census in Valle de Juarez, Manuel Rodriguez was 75 years old, putting his birth year at around 1855. Also according to the Census, Trinidad Silva was 70 years old, putting her birth year at around 1860. However, that would make her only 13 when she gave birth to Sostenes Rodriguez, yet she is documented everywhere else as his mother. I have yet to find any other pertinent records for Manuel Rodriguez, Jose Rodriguez, and Teresa Martinez.

Of note are some physical features of both Sostenes Rodriguez and his father Manuel Rodriguez. Sostenes and Manuel were pale, freckled, and had red hair and green eyes, for which it was rumored that they were actually Spaniards. The features that still appear in much of my family today are the clear greenish eyes and the very light skin.

I would appreciate any help or guidance in advancing my investigation and tying up any loose ends. Thanks!

need help with one word in doc from 1700s

Hi Everyone

There is one word I cannot read in a baptism entry:

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-K79Y-YV?i=398&wc=3JD4-829%…

In the entry for Joseph Miguel, mulato esclabo:

What is the first word in line 8, just before “de Petra…”?

I need to know for sure if it identifies Petra as the mother of Jose Miguel. If so, I can try to follow her line.

Very exciting! first historical documentation of African genes!

Denise

Presentación personal / Personal Introduction

Presentación personal / Personal Introduction

Saludos a todos / Greetings everyone,

I am new to the group, although not so new to doing Los Altos genealogical research. My name is Kassandra Brenot; I am the great-grand-daughter of a Los Altos couple who came to the U.S. during the cristero war.
About 25 years ago I began researching my family roots in Los Altos, thanks to my Marquez cousins and the Somos Primos group in the greater Los Angeles area (including Mimi Lozano and Mary Lou Montagna and the stellar work they all got me going on, for which I shall be forever indebted). While my professional and family duties have pulled me away from my passion for genealogy over the course of the past twenty years or so, through some recent unexpected encounters through my work I have reconnected with my Los Altos roots...

I am the head of an all girls, Catholic boarding school in Monterey, California and have discovered that a few of the families at my school are Los Altos families! Knowing the prevalence of endogamia amongst los alteños, I figured we must be related so.... during my summer vacation, I dug back into my old files and jumped online and have been helping these families get started on researching their lines.

Lo and behold, we are related and we are now looking to start a small Los Altos research group here on the Monterey Peninsula. We had our first mini-get together last night with a small group that represented Ramirez, Loza, Campos and Gutierrez. Some of the members of these families immigrated only within the past 20 years, while others immigrated in the 1950s, settling in the Salinas Valley. As for my own family, it was my great-grandparents María Gonzalez Muñoz and José Lorenzo Loza Muñoz who emigrated from San Miguel el Alto to Carpinteria, California in 1926. Some of the names I am researching farther back in my lines (in the areas of Jalostotitlán, San Juan, Aguascalientes and Ayo el Chico) are the following:

Baeza
Becerra
Camacho-Riquelme
Fernández de Rueda
García de Miranda
González de Rubalcava
Hernández de Arellano
Hurtado de Mendoza
Lomellini
López de Fueresclava
Muños de Nava y Estrada
Loza y Linares
Lozano Vásquez
Machuca
Ornelas
Vásquez Cermeño

Through this group, I hope to fill in a few holes I have in my chart, as well as to help guide some of these families as they begin discovering the joy of researching their Los Altos family history. What I also hope to learn more about through this group is the rich history and traditions of the Los Altos region: I was only about 8 when my great-grandmother died so what little I know about Los Altos is what I have read about, found online, or heard about through cousins, grandparents and family friends.

Saludos a todos,

Hello,
I am new to this site. Doing research on my great grandmother and her family from Aguascalientes area. My grandfather was born at a place called Hacienda de la Punta to an Apolonio Gallardo and Magdalena Victorino Rico. Does anyone know if this place still exists? I would love to visit if it does.

Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Tengo esta información sobre Petronila:

http://gw.geneanet.org/jeandelage1?lang=en&p=petronila&n=arias+de+valde…

From the book Moctezuma's Descendants in in Aguascalientes:

"In addition to locating the baptism of Ana in 1553, we discovered a 1594 marriage document from the Archdiocese of Mexico City which provides the following information: "X'poval [Christobal] Sotelo Valderrama natural de esta ciudad hijo legitimo de Diego Arias Sotelo y Don Leonor ---- [unreadable] - difuntos [deceased]." Christoval was the brother of Petronila Sotelo alias Petronila Moctezuma, who represents the next generation of this family."

Parece que mis hijos tambien son decendientes. Sus ancestros son, en su mayoría, del estado de Aguascalientes. Tenemos el BigY de dos de mis nietos, y FamilyFinder para ellos, una sobrina nieta mia, y mi nieta (hija de mi hija), todos de la misma familia. Disafortunadamente, las líneas maternales de ellas no son de México. Sería interesante comparar…

GENERATION 4: PETRONILLA MOCTEZUMA (born 1552)

PETRONILA SOTELO MOCTEZUMA was probably born around 1552 in Mexico City. It is believed that in 1571 she was married to MARTIN GABAI DE NAVARRO, also known as MARTIN NABARRO. A marriage of Petronila and Martin has not been located yet, however, they were referenced several times as an ancestral married couple "Martin Nabarro" and "Petronila Montesuma" in a 1703 Diocese of Guadalajara informacion matrimonio document for a marriage that took place in Nochistlán. The known children of Petronila Sotelo (alias Moctezuma) and of Martin Gabai de Navarro are shown below:
