Características raciales de los alteños de origen español

En varias ocasiones leí que un obispo de la Nueva Galicia, tal vez Alonso de la Mota y Escobar, visitó la región que ahora conforman los Altos de Jalisco y describió a su población española como muchos de ellos rubios o de pelo castaño, algunos de ojos claros y muchos de piel blanca. Si alguien conoce este texto, le agradecería mucho que me proporcionara la referencia.

Mil gracias.

Dear Primos and Friends:

It is hard to believe that this December issue completes 15 years of monthly Somos Primos issues online. It has been a challenge, an education, and a joy. My historical understanding of U.S. history and the Spanish global presence has grown bit by bit, primarily through the varied submissions and family histories that readers have sent.

The wide diversity of information reflects the countless range of individual histories with a Latino connection. Every individual's story is unique, each different, a piece to the puzzle of humanity.

I have taken a simple approach: if you have a Spanish surname, you have a heritage connection to Spain, where the surname originated, and that makes you happily, a possible primo. . .

Since the heritage diversity among the Spanish language speakers in the Americas is based on the 500-year colonization period of the America, I am hopeful that as we learn our history back to the colonization period, we will find many primo connections.
I am hopeful too that as we find our historical and DNA roots connections to other groups, such as the Indigenous, African, European, Asian, and Jewish communities, it will increase understanding and respect for the cultures of others.

As we embrace diversity in the United States, we will be helping to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. His message of love will be easier to emulate as we reinforce ourselves with historic facts and apply them to our activities in the present.

May you, your family, friends, and community rejoice, honor, and adore the Lord who brought the message of love and peace for all mankind.

MERRY CHIRSTMAS and warm hugs. . . Mimi

Francisco de Orozco ?

Hola Members ,I am trying to see how many Francisco de Orozcos there are cause I am getting confused.
I have a Francisco de Orozco born to a Francisco de Orozco and Magdalena Gomez de Portugal around 1645.
A Francisco de Orozco married to a Catalina de Arriola who had an Angela de Orozco marries to Juan Perez Gallo.
A Francisco de Orozco married to Ines de Villegas.
What am understanding (I think ) that Francisco was married 3 times. Magadalena Gomez de Portugal,Ines de Villegas and Catalina de Arriola. If so I don't know where Catalina de Arriola fits in. Any thoughts ?

Thank you for your time
Ronnie

Diego Ruiz-Nunes and Catalina or Luisa Catalinia Delgadillo

I've advanced my Ruiz line to Diego Ruiz-Nunes, md to Luisa or Catalina
Delgadillo, by way of their son, also Diego Ruz-Nunes and his wife, Anna
Gonzalez de Hermosillo, natural daughter of Pedro Gutierrez de Hermosillo.
Two of Diego and Anna's four children that I have identified where
baptized in Cuquio, Jalisco: Blas b. 6 Feb, 1676, md to 23 Jan 1718 in
Cuquio to Catharina de Lisarde; Diego b 15 Sep 1691. Their other two
children are Cayatano who md Juana Rovalcaba Estrada in Cuquio 4 Feb 1712,
and Paula, who md Melchor Rubalcaba y Rodriguez de Frias.

My sources are my research on familysearch.com and Retonos de la Nueva
Galicia, Tomo VII, p 179.

I have no idea where Diego Ruiz-Nunes and Luisa or Catalina Delgadillo
live. They probably were born mid1600s. Anyone else researching this
family?

I would appreciate any assistance or suggestions anyone might have.

Thank you.

Pruebas de ADN

Hola a todos,

Me ha interesado mucho uno de los temas que se han tocado últimamente en el foro y es el de las pruebas de ADN para conocer con mejor precisión el origen étnico de nuestros antepasados. Ya que estudio Medicina conozco bien el fundamento de estas pruebas por lo que mis dudas van en relación a lo siguiente:

Estuve leyendo que las principales compañías que realizan estas pruebas son FamilyTreeDNA y National Geographic a través de The Genographic Project, y por lo que ví me convence más la segunda opción. Sin embargo, me gustaría saber, ¿Cuál ha sido su experiencia con las dos organizaciones en caso de que ya se hayan realizado estas pruebas?

Segundo, si vivo en México es posible realizar todo el procedimiento de envío y reenvío del kit con las muestras? Alguien de ustedes que viva en México ha podido hacerlo?

De antemano les agradezco sus respuestas.

PBS Finding Your Roots

I just watched the show (I'm on the East Coast). It was excellent! I am
wondering if Maria Cortez or anyone else can share how/where one goes about
testing Native American DNA at the level described in this episode by
Carlos Bustamante of Stanford University. Also, does anyone know how much
African DNA one needs to have to be able to obtain more specific
information re areas of origin in Africa than the larger regional areas
provided by FTDNA? And where one would get it done? I looked at the
23andMe website but it didn't really offer much information.

Hopefully this gets posted in time to encourage more member to watch the
program!

Jalpa Marriages, 1685-1712

I have a partial transcription of Libro 80 from marriages in Jalpa
covering 1685-1712.

I'm hoping that you can identify some of the names listed below. For
instance, I was able to ascertain that "Domingo Seballos i Castañeda"
is the same person that had been married to "Maria Garcia de la Vera"
in Nochistlan (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-15187-51580-36?cc=1804458&wc…)

I'm listing only the entries with last names as those would be
identifiable. Apologies in advance for the lack of formatting, but I
tried separating the entries using an "|":

Chavez y Banuelos (Tlaltenango)

Hola,

Estoy buscando la fuente documental para asegurar que Bernarda Chavez y Banuelos (casada con Tomas de Vela en Tlaltenango aprox. 1660) fue hija de el Capitán Juan de Chavez y Banuelos y de Isabel Ruiz de Soto y Almeida. Dicha información la he encontrado en varias genealogías publicadas en linea; pero desafortunadamente sin listar la fuente documental para unir a Bernarda con su "padre" Juan. Cualquier información se agradecería.

Gracias de antemano

Susana

hi,

I'm looking for the documental source to ensure that Bernarda Chavez y Banuelos (married to Thomas de Vela in Tlaltenango approx. 1660) was the daughter of Captain Juan de Chavez y Banuelos and Isabel de Soto y Ruiz Almeida. I found this information on several online genealogies published on-line; but unfortunately they don't list the source to link Bernarda to her father Juan. Any information is appreciated.

Thanks in advance

some unusual marriage records i came accross today

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18412-14267-72?cc=1874591&wc…
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18412-13289-90?cc=1874591&wc…

i know i haven't been update guadalajaradispensas that often but i haven't given up on indexing yet. right now i'm making progress indexing the third part of the 1834 marriage records part 3, and the link above are two different ones i just came about a bit ago and decided to share since they were a bit off and for the first link, i'm not sure why the couple needed the dispensation.

Introduction

I have recently joined the group and want to take this opportunity to
introduce myself. My name is Sheila Prader and I have several ancestors
from Jalisco, including Los Altos de Jalisco. Some of my locations are
Venustiano Carranza (San Gabriel), Sayula, Etzatlan, Arandas, Ayo el Chico,
Tepatitlan, La Barca and Ocotlan.

Some of my Jalisco surnames are Mojica, Guerrero, Ramos, Cano, Romero y
Chaves, Hernandez Gamino, Martin del Campo, Plasencia, Ochoa Garibai,
Vasquez, Salcedo and Acebes as well as many others.

I have done a lot of parish/diocesan record research and have some knowlege
of other record groups. I'm familiar with the compound surname system often
used in Los Altos as well as the surname fluidity I have seen others
mentioning in the archived posts. This practice of alternative surnames
used by both males and females during their lives (and in records after
their deaths, as when they are named as grandparents) also occurs in
Portuguese records and in some Spanish records as well. I am a proponent of
systematically reading entire rolls of microfilm, alternating between
baptisms, marriages and deaths in 10-year time spans, and extracting records
of anyone with the same surnames in the same time periods in order to
reconstruct related families. I learned this from George Ryskamp, for whom
I used to work as a research assistant. I don't pretend to be more than a
very lucky of student of his. The phenomenon of surname fluidity is also
something George was researching and writing about several years ago.

I also have early California ancestry and I have spent more years
reconstructing the early California lines and descendencies of others than
my own in Jalisco. I am looking forward to getting back into my own lines
and hopefully extending some into parishes in Spain and the Basque
provinces.

My work schedule will not allow me to be a constant contributor to the
mailing lists, but I will participate as I can and I look forward to
connecting con mis primos y primas.

--Sheila P.

Alba puzzle

I’ve been looking at this information about Teodoro de Alba for quite a while and it remains a puzzle to me. Perhaps because we had so little information to start with, it is difficult to trust the evidence once it appears.

One of my great grandfathers, Theodore “Dad” Alby was from Mexico. His birth name was Teodoro de Alba. The family story has it that he was born in San Juan de los Lagos, in the state of Jalisco, Mexico and crossed into the USA when he was still a teenager. His mother’s last name was Gonzales and his father’s was Alba. We don’t have their first names. He had two brothers, Francisco and Miguel. He disliked his father who he said was Spanish and abandoned the family. His mother then took the children to live with her parents. We have no family letters, photos or other documents to verify any of this information. He died several years before I was born and his children have long since passed as well.

When Teodoro applied for citizenship in the 1930s, he stated that he was born on Nov. 9, 1856 and crossed the border at Laredo, Texas in July 1876. For the next 15 years we he is said to have been a cowboy on various ranches in Texas. In 1891, he married my g-grandmother in Bonham, Texas, and the remainder of his life is pretty well documented.

With guidance from Joseph, Armando and other on NR, I searched through microfilm of Catholic parish records from Mexico and found two documents of interest. The first records a christening dated 28 Nov. 1858 for Teodora, a daughter born twenty days earlier to Anastacio de Alba and Mariana Gonzales. The second is a marriage record dated June 17, 1876 for Teodoro de Alba, 18 years of age, whose parents are also Anastacio de Alba and Mariana Gonzales. This was long before sex change operations, so it seems most likely to me that the priest made a mistake and these two documents refer to the same person. Also, if you compute Teodora's birth date to 20 days before Nov 28 it would be Nov. 8, just one day off from Nov. 9, the day my g-grandfather listed as his birthday on his immigration papers.

Anastacio de Alba and Mariana Gonzales also appear in other church records indicating they had two other sons, Jose Miguel de Alba and Francisco de Alba. This aligns with our family story of Teodoro having two brothers named Francisco and Miguel.

It is possible that I'm grasping at straws here, and this Teodoro/a is unrelated to my ancestor. However, I have found no other record of his existence in Mexico. And, I have seen enough errors in census and other official records to know that pretty much any mistake is possible. So what do you think? Did the priest make a mistake? Do enough facts line up to constitute a "preponderance of evidence". How likely is this to be my Mexican family?

Please excuse my lousy translations (and feel free to correct). And thanks for looking,

Valades or Macias Valades?

I have been studying the Macias Valades family, and have found this family which is causing some confusion.

Juan Valades (1st) m. Maria Rebollo (or Lopez Rebollo) and had at least two children:
--Juan Valades (2nd), no baptism found, but I estimate his birth as 1646/51, most likely in Aguascalientes
--Nicolas Valades, baptized 24 Jul 1652 in Aguascalientes

Juan Valades (2nd) married twice (1) Nicolasa de Castaneda, 23 Feb 1671, Aguascalientes and (2) Maria Romo de Vivar, 4 Feb 1690, in Aguascalientes.

By (1) Nicolasa, he had
--Juana Valades, buried 11 Jun 1743, in Aguascalientes, wife of Miguel Altuna

By (2) Maria, he had
--(i) Joseph Manuel Valades, bapt. 20 Apr 1694,
--(ii) Isidro Valades, bapt. 9 Jun 1700,
--(iii) Juan Valades (3rd), bapt. 16 Dec 1702, and
--(iv) Joseph Joaquin Valades, b. abt 1620, and who married Maria del Carmen Jimenez, 29 Dec 1744. All baptisms and marriages are in Aguascalientes.

(iv) Joseph Joaquin Valades and Maria del Carmen Jimeenez had a daughter, Maria Antonia Valades, who married Jose Antonio Zermeno on 13 Jul 1768, in Aguascalientes.

The baptismal and marriage records consistently use only the surname "Valades," but there are some posted genealogies that use the surname "Macias Valades," but provide no explanation. They also do not go further back than Juan (1st) Valades.

I cannot yet place Juan Valades (who m. Maria Rebollo) anywhere as a descendant of Blas Macias (or Macias Valades).

Can anyone offer any insight?
