I am curious about something. Is the Marquez surname a shortened version
of Marquez de los Olivos? My Marquez of which I have very very little
information tie into Sauz de Los Marquez as well and I wonder if they
are the same Marquez de los Olivos?

I have very very little on my Marquez that were living in Sauz de Los
Marquez. You can find the full report here under "Jose Maria Rivas"
http://www.nuestrosranchos.org/es/node/13828

COLIO, Diego de
Originario del lugar de Cabrales, en Asturias de Oviedo. Nació posiblemente en 1500. Hijo de Pero Díaz del Palmar y Juana Hernández de Cangas. Vino a la Nueva España en 1519, como paje de Cortés, en el navío de Alonso de Ávila. Estuvo en las guerras y conquistas de México, Guatemala, Tehuantepec y en 1524, en la conquista de Autlán, Ameca, Xalisco y Valle de Banderas, con Francisco Cortés de San Buenaventura, su pariente. Parece que tuviera a medias, la encomienda de Guatinchan, cerca de Puebla, que después Cortés le quitó; allí aprendió náhuatl. Soldado en el ejército de Nuño Beltrán de Guzmán, en 1529, para la conquista de la Nueva Galicia. Compró en fecha desconocida, en la década de 1530, en el valle de Tonalá, unos indios muy pobres y estériles, a Hernando Ruiz de Ovalle. Corregidor de los pueblos de Acatlán y Piastla, Puebla, entre el 26 de noviembre de 1537 y el 16 de enero de 1540. Pacificador de la Nueva Galicia en 1541
y aún en 1542. Cristóbal de Oñate, como teniente de gobernador, el 17 de enero de 1542, le dio en encomienda el pueblo de Ixcatlán con sus estancias de Guautla y Cocoitlán, jurisdicción de Copala, a pocos kilómetros al norte donde se fundó un mes después la cuarta y definitiva ciudad de Guadalajara; sucedió en estas encomiendas a Hernando Ruiz de Ovalle. Hacia 1570, Ixcatlán y Guautla contaban, el primero con 100 y el segundo pueblo, con 70 tributarios.
       Uno de los fundadores de la cuarta y definitiva Guadalajara en febrero de 1542; a la sazón vivía en Tonalá. Vecino de Guadalajara desde 1543 cuando fue nombrado alcalde ordinario de primer voto del Cabildo de esta ciudad; en este año, junto con el alcalde ordinario de segundo voto, Juan de Villarreal, solicitó al Rey la incorporación de Ameca, Etzatlán, Ixtlán (tiene que decir Amula), Autlán, Tuspa y la mitad de los pueblos de Ávalos a la jurisdicción de la Nueva Galicia. Por orden del gobernador Francisco Vázquez de Coronado, pacificó con españoles de Guadalajara y Compostela, a indios alzados de la provincia de Hostotipac, hacia 1543. Corregidor de Iguala, Guerrero, entre el 13 de febrero de 1545 y 1545 cuando menos. En 1547, le hallamos como vecino de la ciudad de México, como hombre casado con un hijo legítimo y con dos hijas naturales, y las hijas para casar.             Vecino de la ciudad de Guadalajara en
1550. Alcalde ordinario del cabildo de Compostela, en 1553. Fue acusado, en un proceso, del 22 de diciembre de 1553, de haber hecho ofensas a Gaspar de Tapia. Defendió como solicitador a los oidores de la Aud. de la Nueva Galicia, en 1557-58. Vecino de Guadalajara, en 1560 y 1561 y probablemente, alcalde ordinario de primer voto, en 1561. El 17 de marzo de 1563 obtuvo escudo de armas; a la sazón era vecino de la ciudad de Guadalajara. En el mismo año, era corregidor de los pueblos de Cuyutlán y Zalatitlán, partidos de San Cristóbal de la Barranca y Tonalá. Hacia 1565 en Guadalajara fue nombrado, junto con el chantre Alonso Sánchez de Miranda, albacea testamentario de Francisco de Nájera, vecino de la ciudad y marido de Catalina Ruiz. Algunos años después, empezó a traficar con tributos de pueblos de indios de la Nueva Galicia, y así compró, el 13 de diciembre de 1571, en pública almoneda, 11 fanegas de trigo, 79 pollos, 99 fanegas de
maíz y 7 guajolotes, de los tributos de los naturales de los pueblos de Tequila,

Apozolco(Tala), Tala y Tepacatengo; el 20 de diciembre de 1572, 36 fanegas de maíz, 7 guajolotes y 11 pollos de los tributos de los naturales del pueblo de Tepacatengo; el 23 de diciembre de 1572, 92 fanegas de maíz y 63 pollos de los tributos de los naturales de los pueblos de Apozolco (Tala) y Tala; y el 9 de diciembre de 1574, 11 fanegas de frijol y 5 pollos de los tributos de los naturales del pueblo de Tequila.
       En 1562 llegó a las minas de San Martín, por ser hombre de negocios -y por haber aceptado de casar a su hijo con una sobrina del oidor Francisco de Alarcón-, nombrado alcalde mayor y juez de residencia de su antecesor, Juan Vázquez de Ulloa, sobrino de Ginés Vázquez de Mercado. Fue muy mal recibido y le tiraron un arcabuzazo en la garganta, quedando la bala entre cuero y carne, donde la tuvo hasta que murió. Pronto, Colio visitó al gobernador de la Nueva Vizcaya, Francisco de Ibarra, en las minas de Los Ranchos, solicitándole que pusiera orden entre sus huestes de soldados que cometieron muchos agravios y delitos entre las minas de San Martín y Guadiana. Fundó este mismo año, con fray Pedro de Espinareda y ante el escribano público Gutierre de Segura, la población de Nombre de Dios. Dejó en la nueva fundación por lugarteniente a Alonso García. Francisco de Ibarra lo arrojó de las minas de San Martín, ocasionando un grave
conflicto con la Aud. de la Nueva Galicia, el cual tardó varios años en solucionarse. Parte del problema fue que Colio, cuando desempeñaba el cargo de alcalde mayor de las minas de San Martín, intentó embargar los bienes de Francisco de Sosa, alcalde mayor de Nombre de Dios, quien había asesinado a un hombre, y además, de que Sosa y cierto Martín Gamón con su gente, quisieron trasladar la jurisdicción de Nombre de Dios a la Nueva Vizcaya para escapar de ciertas deudas contraídas en la Nueva Galicia. De su desempeño como alcalde mayor en las minas de San Martín, le tomó residencia Don Juan de Avellaneda en 1570 ó 1571, de donde procedieron 1,491 pesos y 1 tomín de oro común, por penas de Cámara, los cuales se depositaron en Martín Pérez, quien los envió a la Caja Real de Zacatecas para que los depositaran en su nombre; eso lo hizo el arriero Francisco Gutiérrez el 6 de marzo de 1572.
       Vecino de la ciudad de Guadalajara, cuando fue presentado como testigo, el 28 de abril de 1573, por el Lic. Antonio Vázquez, en nombre de la Aud. de la Nueva Galicia y ante el escribano y receptor Diego de Carranza, para declarar en la información sobre los límites de las jurisdicciones entre la Nueva España y la Nueva Galicia. Su testimonio puso en juicio su supuesta buena memoria porque confundió a Francisco Cortés de San Buenaventura con un cierto capitán Francisco de Torres y tampoco supo decir la distancia entre Querétaro y la ciudad de México. En 1579 aún vivía en Guadalajara siendo encomendero de Tala.
            Casó dos veces, la segunda vez, en 1535 o poco después, con Catalina de la Torre, hija del Lic. Diego Pérez de la Torre y viuda, mujer que había sido del conquistador Joan Bernal. Procrearon tres hijas: Doña María de Colio y de la Torre, Doña Francisca de Colio y de la Torre y Doña Teresa de Colio y de la Torre, y tres varones, su heredero Don Diego García de Colio, Pedro Gómez de Colio, arcediano de Guadalajara y otro hijo que falleció joven en Guadalajara. Cabe la remota posibilidad de que el marido de Catalina de la Torre no fuera Diego de Colio sino Diego de Colio Berbén (Benítez, 1991: 94 y 115).

I posted this a few weeks back and did not get any responses so I am going to try again:

I have collected tidbits of information about the ancestry of Maria de Haro y Saucedo who was married to Juan de Miramontes in Tlaltenango, Zacatecas sometime in the lat 1500s (likely 1580 to 1590) but have been unable to find definitive documentation of the details of her ancestry.

There are documents that state in vague terms that she was the descendant of Pedro de Bobadilla, original encomendero of Tepechitlan and of Juan Delgado, original encomendero of El Teul. It is also very probable that she is the descendant of Diego de Colio and his daughter Teresa de Colio y de la Torre.

Here is what I have and would appreciate any feedback or augmentation of these facts:

- Her grandson Nicolas de Haro, born in 1617, son of Hernando de Haro and Maria Gonzales de Mendoza, in his declarations of clean blood for the priesthood states that he is the great-grandson "bisnieto" of Pedro de Bobadilla and Maria de Saucedo, which would make Maria de Haro y Saucedo their daughter. However, there appears to be a generation missing here if one figures that Pedro Bobadilla's one documented son Francisco Bobdilla was born in 1542 and Maria de Haro y Saucedo was having children at the turn of the century. Nicolas was most likely their great-great grandson making his grandmother their granddaughter. Francisco Bobadilla died and left the encomiendo to his unnamed sister... possible mother of Maria de Haro y Saucedo???

- A woman, named Ana de Saucedo, who is identified as the aunt of Nicolas' father Hernando de Haro (and therefore Maria de Haro y Saucedo's sister) states that she was the granddaughter of Martin Gonzales, from whom she inherited lands that her grandfather had received through a "merced". This would make Maria de Haro y Saucedo Martin Gonzalez's grandaughter as well.

- In a document dated 1627 in Zacatecas (which I have been unable to find a definitive reference for) Luis Felix Delgado gives testimony of the land he and his brothers Gaspar Gonzalez and Pedro Albertis inherited from his father Martin Gonzalez. This would make Maria de Haro y Saucedo the daughter or niece of one of these men.

- Jaime Holcombe lays out the following descendancy from Juan Delgado:
- Luis Delgado
- Beatriz Delgado m. Martin Gonzalez
- Magdalena Delgado m. Alejos Gonzalez
This would make Beatriz Delgado the sister of Luis Felix Delgado, Gaspar Gonzalez and Pedro Albertis and possibly the mother or aunt of Maria de Haro y Saucedo.

- John Schmal has pointed out that in a book by Jose Ignacio Davila Gabiri, the following descendancy of Don Diego Colio and his connection to the Haros:
- Captain Don Diego de Colio m. Do?a Catalina de la Torre and they had the
- Do?a Teresa de Colio y de la Torre b. 1566 or 1567 m. Captain Hernando de Haro
(Hernando de Haro was founder and one of the first settlers of of Compostela)
- Don Hernando de Haro y Colio b. 1591, d. 1660 in Zacatecas
- Don Rodrigo de Haro y Colio b. 1607 m. Do?a Antonia Maldonado
- Don Sebastian de Haro y Colio b. 1610 m. Do?a Juana de Tovar y Villalba
- Two other unnamed children
The likely culprit here would be Hernando de Haro, for whom Maria de Haro y Saucedo's son was named, but he may have been named for an uncle.

Does anyone know how the Indians of Mexico were given their Spanish names and how far back the custom started? (After thinking about it I guess it started from the beginning. Recall that St. Juan Diego was a pre-Columbian native who had an Indian name.)

Were they given names, much like the black slaves in the U.S. by people they worked for or were indentured to? Were their native names changed at baptism? Were they given the surnames of influential people in the area where the resided?

Does anyone have a record that shows this process?

Are there any references that might answer these questions?

Thank you.

Hello, several times when I have been looking for baptismal records I have found that more than one child baptized on the same day, was given the same name. Is there some place I can find more information about naming cousins with regard to given names? Thank you.

I am looking for my grand mother.

Mercesdes torres bonr about 1914, Guadalajara, Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico.

Her Parents are Guillermo Torres and Luisa Cabrera.

She Married my Granpa Jose Guadalupe Zambrano Zambrano.

My dad was born in 1953 and i been told she died when he was 5.

Any torres Cabrera in your family let me know please.

Hola Members, if possible I need some understanding of Geronima Bernavides, wife of Francisco Paez.( In the book of Jose Luis Vazquez "Genealogia de Nochistlan" chapters 22 and 59.) In chapter 59 ,page 197 it states that Geronima Benavides is the daughter of Jeronimo Benavides and Catalina Cortes.In chapter 22,page 80 it states that Geronima Benvides is the daughter of Catalina Cortes (de quien se desconoce en nombre de su esposo). I am puzzled ,maybe my deficiency of the spanish language, I don't know. Another question -is besides Geronima Benavides, is Luis Benavides ,Catalina Cortes and Juan de Benavides siblings and from Jeronimo Benavides and Catalina Cortes.
thank you for your time

Dear Friends, Primos, and family:

Happy July 4th. As you celebrate this day, let me bring to your attention, the words of Judge Edward Butler, Past National President General of the Sons of the American Revolution, who writes in his newly published, Galvez/ Spain Our Forgotten Ally in the American Revolutionary War that . . .

"WITHOUT SPANISH ASSISTANCE DURING THE AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY WAR, WE WOULD STILL BE UNDER THE BRITISH FLAG.

17,000 Spanish troops and sailors fought the English in North America during the war.

Galvez army drove the English out of the lower Mississippi River by defeating them at Manchac, Baton Rouge & Natchez.

His Spanish army and militia defeated the English at St. Louis.

His Spanish army and militia captured the British fort with a warehouse of weapons, food and supplies at Fort St. Joseph at Niles, Michigan.

He led the attacks on Mobile and Pensacola and drove the British from the Gulf coast.

Spanish merchants supplied the colonists with arms, ammunition and supplies as early as 1774.

On one day the Spanish fleet captured 55 British ships, including 8 war ships, taking over 2,500 crewmen as prisoners."

Our Spanish ancestors were among those soldiers who fought for the freedom of this continent. Let us celebrate with pride in the contributions of our ancestors.

Enjoy sharing these facts.
God bless America and God bless Israel

while clemente acuna was wrong about maria rosales being a daughter of pedro cid caldera and maria carrillo (i've seen multiple documents stating that maria rosales's mom was agustina rosales and at least one stating her dad as miguel mateo rodarte), but considering that one part of this document i think like page 249 or 250 or something like that said that the carlos de godoys in taygua called the younger pedro cid 'tio'. because of that i can't help but think the rosales and cid caldera may be (distant like maybe 4-7 generations)relatives to the cid caldera.

Hola a todos:

Solicito una vez más su ayuda, espero puedan proporcionármela. Últimamente, he trabajado mucho en mi genealogía de los Altos y he podido avanzar algunas generaciones, estos son los datos que ojalá alguno de ustedes puedan tener acerca de la ascendencia de estas personas.

1. Los padres de Francisco de Alcalá y Mendoza casado con Cristina Jiménez de Castro, debieron haberse casado antes de 1700's aprox.

2. Los padres de Andrés de Atilano y Pascuala de Hermosillo, tienen un hijo bautizado en 1705 en Jalostotitlán, Jalisco.

3. Los padres de Victoriano de la Paz, casado con María Andrea Moreno, he buscado su acta matrimonial en Lagos de Moreno, San Juan de los Lagos, Jalostotitlán y San Diego de Alejandría y no los he encontrado. Su fecha de matrimonio debió haber sido antes de 1764. A Victoriano lo tengo como posible hijo de Francisco Alejo de la Paz y Mendoza y de Casilda del Carmen Gutiérrez Maciel, porque son padrinos de uno de sus hijos y por las edades podrían coincidir, lo malo es que no he encontrado una partida bautismal de algún Victoriano como hijo de ellos dos.

Les agradecería de antemano si pudieran aportarme su ayuda como anteriormente lo han hecho.

Saludos a todos.

i found this and felt like sharing it since it might have historical value

Does anyone know if there is a connection with the early Bobadilla Family from Colotlan and early Bobadilla Family from Tlaltenango.

Specifically, Antonio de Bobadilla (abt 1670) and Maria de Avila (abt 1675).
Their children:
Margarita de Bobadilla b: ABT 1690 Bolaños, Jalisco, Mexico
Joseph Andres de Bobadilla b: ABT 1693
Juan Pedro de Bobadilla b: ABT 1695
Nicolas de Bobadilla b: ABT 1697
Gertrudis de Bobadilla b: ABT 1700 Bolaños, Jalisco, Mexico
Antonio de Bobadilla b: ABT 1702
Maria Leonarda de Bobadilla b: ABT 1705

Much documentation has been done on Bobadilla from Tlaltenango from late 1500's to mid 1600's, and I wanted to know if they were related in any way.

One last thing, I found a "Defuncion Record" in Colotlan from 08/26/1736 for Antonio de Bobadilla from Cartagenas and was married to Maria Juana de Villa. Could this be the same person (Antonio de Bobadilla), and they perhaps mispelled wife's last name during this time of chaos when people were dying daily of Tabardillo.

I am seeking information about my 5th maternal grandfather, Jsp Martin de Pena. He was born abt. 1761, and was married to Maria Rufina Ximenez, 08 Nov 1761, in Teocaltiche, Jalisco. Any additional information would be appreciated.Thank you.

Estoy buscando el lugar exacto donde existia el Rancho Mesa de Vasquez durante el 1900. Ese rancho esta al cerca de Monte Escobedo, Zacatecas y Mezquitic, Jalisco. Mis Bisabuelos vivieron en ese rancho or cerca de el y me gustaría saber donde esta.

Gracias.

Does anyone know where Rancho Mesa de Vasquez was around the 1900's? My guess is that its somewhere between Monte Escobedo, Zacatecas and Mezquitic, Jalisco. My great grandparents lived in that area and would like to know exactly where it was.

Thank you

Just wondering why there are so many films forsaken by the borrowers and have never been finalized so that we members could access them?

Some of those films have been in that state for so many years. I assume they have been forsaken by the borrowers. Any chance anyone of us could help them index them?

How can we help "edit" some of them. The "edit" requires that we should either have the film or have it on permanent loan. With FamilySearch.org offering the film photos online, why is this requirement necessary? How do we go about adding/editing these films?
