Nuestros Ranchos Site

Welcome to the group Martin.

As this is your first week, I would say that you're off to a good start because I just found your relatives a few days ago. The source is the marriage dispensas found at the Guadalajara Diocese: Guadalajara Matrimonios 1828, Film 168233, Image 1401.

The direct link to the first page is here:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18411-13591-78?cc=1874591 wc=12512899

The family tree corresponds to Juan Cobarrubias:
The first branch is: A1. Efigenia (m Jose Grano), A2. Rita Grano m Pedro Gonzalez, A3. Blas Gonzalez, A4. Juan
The second branch is: B1. Cristobal Cobarrubias, B2. Jose Covarrubias, B3. Rosalia m Julian Nunez, B4. Juana Maria

You can also find the marriage information for Pedro Gonzalez (born in Coahila--https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/NLQH-TZ5 ?) & Rita Grano here: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/JHL1-VN4

As you can see I had thought that Pedro G was born in Coahila not Tayahua, but that was based only on a brief search.

Good luck on your searches!

This information added so much personality to my ancestry research. I've looked at them a couple of times each already. So exciting to see the haciendas and history of Tepetongo shared with those of us who will probably never see it in person.

Thank you for sharing this link!

what a wonderful presentation and to see the old haciendas we have been naming in our research without having seen them makes it come to life..
thank you so much for posting this.
Linda in B.C.

Hi Alice

I am reading a book titled Soldiers, Indians, and Silver (1952) which describes the settlement of Nuevo Galicia, an area that included Guadalajara, Zacatecas, San Luis Potosi, and reached up to Saltillo. In this book the author, Phillip Wayne Powell, describes how christianized indians from central mexico (mexicas, tlaxcalans, and otomi) were encouraged to move up into these areas in an attempt to pacify the rebellious and warlike tribes of the Gran Chichimeca,who inhabited areas where the Spanish were interested in mining for silver.

These indians were granted special privileges such as the right to ride a horse, use a Spanish sword, and be free of tribute for a number of years, in addition to being granted land. Some of them who were already acknowledged as caciques where they originally came from, were also referred to in historical documents with the title "Don". So it is understandable that in a settlement where the overwhelming majority of residents were Otomi who still used their own language, the records would be written in Otomi.In a previous post, I cited an article which documented the switching of ethnic identities - the same person being referred to as Spanish in one document and Indian in another. I have learned that "Don" does not necessarily mean "Spanish" - and Spanish can (exception more than the rule) mean hispanized rather than strictly genetically Spanish.

Regards,
Denise

 Hi Laura,
I'm not at all familiar with Otomi, but I also thought it might be an indigenous language. However, I then wondered why the baptismal entries labeled as the espanoles would be in any other language than Spanish.  There were several different priests that performed these baptisms and all the entries, in different handwriting, are in this language.  Was this an order of priests from the same region of Spain that spoke another language?  I'm intrigued and would love to know...What is this language?! 
Thanks again,  Alice

Thanks so much for the information!
This is what I have in my genealogy :

MANUEL ROMO was born (date and place unknown). He married MARIA YGNACIA RODRIGUEZ 21 Feb. 1816 in Nadadores, Coah., daughter of Juan Rodriguez and Maria Thomasa Valdes. She was born (date unknown) in and died (date and place unknown).

Their son (Don) Thomas married Maria Luciana Espinosa, and her grandparents' surnames are: (paternal) Espinosa, Araujo, and (maternal)de la Garza and Tijerina. If any of these are also in yours, please let me know.

I have other interesting info from a book I am reading, on language use which I will put in a separate post.

Regards
Denise

Deedra,

I'm glad that you've found all this information of our ancestors during all this time. I had not had time to continue my investigations in Genealogy because recently I had many academical tasks to do but I'll be back during all this vacations. I thank you for this data, I know that finding the burial records is harder because they aren't indexed. Have you found any information regarding to the parents of Gertrudis Caro y Rentería who's the paternal grandmother of the Antonio Rosales we talking of?

Thank you again, hope to hear from you soon

Enrique Salvador Agraz

Hola Salvador,

En mis investigaciones del Capitan Pedro ENRIQUEZ TOPETE (mi antepasado) tambien me tope con Francisoc RICO y DELORME. En www.topete.org, he subido un arbol que muestra a tu antepasado.

Creo tener algunos datos mas sobre el Lic. RICO y DELORME y voy a buscarlos y compartire lo que tenga aqui. Quisiera tambien pedirte si tienes el GEDCOM del los RICO y DELORME para poder completar el ramo y pues como sabes, beneficiaria a otros.

Hasta pronto,

Pedro Topete

Hi,

I sent an inquiry to the president of NGGS about meetings and such, and never received a response. Is the email listed for Hernandez no longer valid?

Laura Gonzalez

Raquel,

Everything has a price and anyone can be bought, including church clerics, not just at the time but in today's time.

As for the padre no conocido. I have a 5 GGgrandfather whose marriage investigation said he was hijo natural de Maria Felipa Gonsalez and then I go back and find his parents marriage records, Joseph Antonio Ruiz Cortez, con Maria Phelippa Gonzales on 15 Nov 1731. Go figure, it was most likely a clerical error in the entry.

Subject: [Nuestros Ranchos] Padres no conocidos

Thanks to a distant cousin's research on our Durango family line, I learned
that an ancestor which was labeled as "padre no conocido" had her father
later identified as part of her marriage information and dispensation
process in 1708.  I was shocked to learn that the Church gave her and her
uncle dispensation to marry.  She was the illegitimate child of his
brother.  I guess the moral of the genealogy story is not to assume the
line is lost until all the data is in.  What it says about the Church at
that place and time is another matter.

Laura,

Yes, you can do pretty much the same research at home that you can do at your local Family History or at the Main Library in Salt Lake City.

The difference is that there are staff members at the centers and the library, who are willing to help one in their research. Of course depending on the center there may be a staff member who specializes, in the area that you are researching. And they would be willing to help you in anyway that they can.

Also, as it was stated, not all the microfilm have been digitized yet. So if you, want to get access to those undigitized images, you need to order the microfilm and read. And you can only have access to the microfilm at your local Family History Center. And the Library in Salt Lake, has a big collection of books. Some of those have been digitized, some have been mircofilmed, and the others are sitting on the bookselves, in the library. And the only way to have access to the books, is by going to the Library in Salt Lake, since they don't do inter-library loans.

But, what is the most important thing is. Is get to know the local Family History Center, and get to know what resources, that they have available beyond FamilySearch.org .

In the Family History Centers, their work is to help people do their genealogical research. They have been instructed not to preach to the non-LDS patrons, unless the patron specifically requests more information.

As, to keeping records. That is pretty much, a personal preference. Some people enjoy having paper copies of everything and some don't. There are several genealogical software packages out there, to choose from. What I would suggest, is to find something that works for you, and does what you want it to do. And then follow it.

I hope that this helps. If I or anyone else in the group can help you further, feel free to ask.

Jonathan

Randy McNeal, I scan all of my documents but I also have files of the paper documents I get. The files are by family lines. I find this easier since so many of my lines have the same last names in them. The only time this becomes a problem is when families combine then I print another copy and keep going by line. I also have a geneology program that I attach the documents to.

Yes, I have visited my local FHCs as well as the main one in Salt Lake City. Everyone is very nice and helpful. They are anxious for you to share your genealogical information and they have much to share with you---their PAF genealogy program that I have in my computer, and CDs of family trees they have gathered.

No, they don't try to convert you, but if you ask about their practices and beliefs they will tell you. They will give you a tour of their facilities in the temples except for some areas where only members are allowed.

One thing they did not tell me is that everyone in their microfilms has been baptized and "sealed" via their Baptism for the Dead, the reason they went worldwide microfilming the documents they did, so in a way it is conversion after the death. Google that for more information.

Since many of their microfilms are not online yet, it is worthwhile to go and ask the local FHC to send for some films to be reviewed by you; they have microfilm readers, copiers, etc. They also have genealogy help books and forms.

What has worked for me in organizing my print-outs is to have a binder for each line with dividers for the different types of documents----pedigree charts, descendancy reports, photos, maps, border crossings, WWI and WWII registrations, census, baptisms, marriages, deaths, messages, etc.

Looks like you are off to a good start.

Mayangrl,

I have not visited a family search center since the records went on-line. I found the people volunteering at any of the centers to be very kind and extremely helpful and not once did anyone try to convert me. Some of them even became friends.

I no longer print hard copies. I copy the records I need from family search and save them on an external hard drive. I file the records according to the film number/type of record whether birth, marriage, info matrimonial etc. In my notes on PAF I make a complete source notation such as film#, image#, folio or page#, item#, therefore I can go to my hard drive and with the film# and all other pertinent information I can easily find it. I do all of this at the time I find the record, it's time consuming but it works very well for me.

For example: I have separate folders. labeled as such: 226665-Bapt-Nochis-Vol#35-1837
for each file going into this folder I include the following. I don't use the birth date because it's not always easy to see, sometimes they say 10 dias nacido. I want to see the name of the file and be able to open up the record and easily see the baptism date, person's name etc and in this way I know I've accessed the correct record.

Name of person, Image#, Page#, Baptism Date, name of rancho or locality within the jurisdiction.

Example: Ma Gertrudis Ibarra-Img237-Pg62-3-27-1837-Monte Duranes

I always use the same sequence of data for each file, in this way I can always file it and find it.

Each one of us will find a way that works for us. What works for me may not work for someone else. You need to attend one of Nueva Galicia's genealogy conferences. We have speakers who help us with record saving and record retrieval ideas, tips and suggestions.

Good luck in your search,

Alicia,

San Jose, Ca

I was wondering if anyone has visited their local LDS family search center.  What's different from what you find online at familysearch.org?  Is it worthwhile to go?  One's here in town, and I'm debating.  Will they try to convert me? ;-p

Also, how do people organize their genealogy papers?  Besides online, I like to keep physical copies, because it's easier to look and find stuff.  Do people have a different binder per person/family/etc? 
Just started doing this and not sure what would be best way.  Currently have paternal and maternal binders, with dividers for direct descendents, followed by siblings, next generation, siblings, etc.  I also have maps in the binder.

Thanks!

You didn't post your name so I have no idea what to call you.
 
You are one of the lucky ones who can now get all the information online instead of going to a history center for Mexican records. 
I spent 16 years going to history centers, ordering film at $6. a film, wait up to 6 weeks for it to arrive, be able to view it for 30 days or pay another $6 to keep it another month and was happy to do it! Like you in the beginning I had loads of paper work and file after file and reams of paper. And NO, not one person ever tried to convert me but they were more than willing to help me find information and answer genealogy questions. I would suggest you do whatever works for you. I use the Family Tree Maker for my records and put all my information in there since it keeps track of families and blood lines.
 
Marriage dispensations were for blood relationships and any offense that caused a couple to seperate and wanted to marry again. You may be surprised how many blood relatives you have so making seperate files gets complicated since they are on your Mother and Fathers side. My 4 Caldera ancestors go back to the same family.  I'm sure you will get more than one example of how people arrange and keep or share files.
 
good luck in your search for ancestors

Before all of the records were on-line we all had to go to order the individual films and view them after they arrived about a week later. The benefit of going to your local center is that the people who run them, though volunteers, are very friendly and knowledgeable. They may have access to some books that have been donated. No, they don't try to convert you. Now if you have a chance to go to one of the more metropolitan centers, ie Los Angeles, and especially the parent center in Utah, you will find everything.
