Nicolas Macias Valadez and Joseph de Valderrama

I have just read the entry in the book "Sagrada Mitra de Guadalajara" (p. 336, #1769) for the dispensation of Sebastian de Chavez and Maria Gertrudis Macias, for 3rd degree consanguinity. The record is dated 27 Sep 1754, Mezquital del Oro, Zacatecas. The dispensation was apparently granted 25 Feb 1746.

If I have read the entry correctly, Sebastian de Chavez is the grandson of Joseph de Valderrama (his wife is not named). Maria Gertrudis Macias is the granddaughter of Nicolas Macias Valadez. Nicolas Macias Valadez and Joseph de Valderrama are brothers, but Nicolas is from the first wife and Joseph from the second wife of their unnamed father.

Nicolas's wife is named; she is Juana de Anda. Are they the Nicolas Macias and Juana de Anda who were married in Santa Maria de los Lagos, Lagos de Moreno, on 16 Sep 1680?

I can find baptisms for several children for Nicolas and Juana, but not the son (Juan) who is the father of Maria Gertrudis.

I can find little information on the Valderramas: I have the marriage date for Sebastian's mother Tomasa de Valderrama and Phelipe de Chavez (casados: 7 Nov 1708 and velados: 8 Apr 1709), but nothing else.

Who is the father of Nicolas and Joseph, and who are their mothers?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

I need the opinions of the many experts on this site

There are so many knowledgeable people on this site, I would like to know the best way to validate that the children who were baptized in San Juan are really the siblings of those baptized in San Diego de Alejandría.

Through IGI records, I found the following children of Juan Antonio De Anda, Gertrudis Padilla:

Jose Claro Anda Padilla
residence:Jalisco, Mexico
baptism/christening date:18 Aug 1822
baptism/christening place:
SAN JUAN DE LOS LAGOS,JALISCO,MEXICO

Jose Todosio Anda Padilla
residence:Jalisco, Mexico
baptism/christening date:06 Jun 1824
baptism/christening place:
SAN JUAN DE LOS LAGOS,JALISCO,MEXICO

José Luis De Jesus De Anda
birth:Mentidero residence: San Diego de Alejandría, Jalisco, Mexico
baptism/christening date:27 Aug 1826
baptism/christening place:
La Inmaculada Concepción, San Diego de Alejandría, Jalisco, Mexico

Nicolas De Guadalupe De Anda
birth: Mentidero
residence:San Diego de Alejandría, Jalisco, Mexico
baptism/christening date:16 Dec 1828
baptism/christening place:
La Inmaculada Concepción, San Diego de Alejandría, Jalisco, Mexico

Ma. De La Crus Anda Padilla
residence:Jalisco, Mexico
baptism/christening date:11 May 1831
baptism/christening place:
SAN JUAN DE LOS LAGOS,JALISCO,MEXICO

What are the chances of two Juan Antonio De Anda being married to two Gertrudis Padilla? I know the San Juande los Lagos and San Diego de Alejandría are very close to each other but why would a family not go to the same church for all of their children?

Hacienda El Carro - Villa Gonzalez, Zacatecas

I am looking for information on Leandro Esparza, in 1860 he worked as mayordomo on the Hacienda El Carro, which is now the town of Villa Gonzalez Ortega, Zacatecas. He is the father of Francisco Esparza, Francisco's mother was Maria Benita Esparza. I cannot find a record of their marriage. Benita seems to be from Aguascalientes. A relative in Zacatecas has Leandro's bible and it is in the native language of Nahautl! This relative also has a ledger from the Hacienda El Carro which has a page on the wages paid to Leandro in the year 1860. If any of this sounds familiar please let me known. Thank you.

Message-ID:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Hello to all friends from NuestrosRanchos:

I am about to start an investigation of the QUIRARTE genealogy of
Nochistlan, Zacatecas.

My research pretend to cover to different time lines:

1 - The oldest reference I have is from my grandparents Hermenegildo
Quirarte and Gumara Ruiz.
I have the bautism record of Hermenegildo, from April 13, 1858.. This
Bautism record states his Father was Refugio Quirarte and his mother was
Juana Romo.
>From Gumara Ruiz I have not found any record yet.
I never heard about brothers, sisters, cousins or uncles or other close
relatives on the Quirarte side out of a couple of old aunts named Marta Ruiz
and Amalia Ruiz Quirarte.
So I would like to get your advice in how and where to start digging
information.

2 - The second research focus in more recent happenings .
Hermenegildo and Gumara had two daughters and one son. Daughters were Maria
Quirarte Ruiz, Clotilde Evelia Quirarte Ruiz and Cesar Quirarte Ruiz.
Cesar Quirarte Ruiz (my father) was the younger . He was born in 1901 and
was a recognized violinist. He was for manuy years the first violin of the
National Philarmonic Orchestra of Mexico and later Director of the Simphonic
Orchestra of Jalapa, Veracruz .
His sister Clotilde Evelia Quirarte Ruiz was the first women born in the
State of Zacatetas awarded with a Masters and a Doctorate degree. Her
achivements were recognized by the Congress of the State of Zacatecas.
Clotilde wrote several books about the story and language of Nochistlan,
that I would like to find.

The three brothers left Nochistlan very young after the Mexican revolution
ended and settle in Mexico City, where they study and work.
I also have two copies of the Bauptism record of Maria Quirarte Ruiz.
Both with the name of Ma. Raquel Quirarte. One dated 26 Dec 1893 and the
other dated 6 March 1895.
I recall that my father Cesar Quirarte Ruiz told me he has another brother
born and died before he was born.This boy was Christianed Cesar.
So if there were two brothers named Cesar, perhaps they also have two girls
named Maria. Once the first passed away the second was born and also
received the same name of Maria..

My research is motivated by the fact I just discovered that in a small town
close to Nochistlan, named RANCHO ACULCO, the Public pre-school has been
named: Escuela Cesar Quirarte Ruiz.
I want to investigate if the name of the school is related to my father and
if so, why?
I called the Presidencia Municipal and nobody was able to explain me why the
school has that name.
Any help you can provide me in this subject will be very much appreciated.

Gracias y saludos

Salvador,

I was in Nochistlan a few years ago when I walked into a book store and I was
able to find they had several copies of one of her books on Nochistlan.

I have one of those books but I believe it might be possible to find a copy for
you in Nochistlan. If you want, I can inquire with one of my cousins who still
lives there to see if he can find you a copy. You can contact me off-line about
this at, alliecar@pacbell.net

Your Ancestress was and is very famous in Mexico for the same reasons you just
mentioned, she had many academic accomplishments for a woman of her times. She
was also a champion of the rights of the indigenous people of Mexico and she
wrote extensively about their language and their traditions.

Because my family is from Nochistlan and because one of my surnames is Ruiz,
I've done a bit of research on Evelia Clotilde Quirarte.

Saludos,
Alicia de San Jose, Ca.

New Member - Luna/De Luna Family

Hi everyone. I'm new to the group and I am excited to be a member.

I'm looking for any relatives of my Grandfather. Here is what I have so far.

My grandfather is Tiburcio Fernandez Luna. He was baptized on 16 Aug 1885 as Jose Tiburcio De Luna in Adjuntas del Refugio, Zacatecas, Mexico but was born on 11 Aug 1885 in Malanoche, Valparaiso, Zacatecas, Mexico. He first married Antonia Hernandez in 1910 and had three children, Euphemia Luna (b. 16 Aug 1915; d. before 1918), Simona Luna (b. 28 Oct 1913; d. 1920 in Texas) and another aunt who is still living. He married my grandmother Vicenta/Vienta Robles on 15 Feb 1918 and they had another 10 kids.

His known siblings are:

(1)Lino Luna (Jose Lino De Luna) born 1882 & baptized on 23 Sep 1882 in La Purisima, Valparaiso, Zacatecas, Mexico. Was married to Estefana Resendes and I believed he died on January 1967 in San Antonio, Bexar, Texas.

(2)Miguel Luna (Jose Miguel De Luna) born on 29 Sep 1892 in Malanoche, baptized on 02 Oct 1892 in Adjuntas del Refugio, Zacatecas. He wife's name was Louisa. Death date is unknown and I don't know if they had any children.

(3)Martin Luna (Jose Martin De Luna) born in 1888 and baptized on 15 Jan 1888 at La Purisima, Valparaiso, Mex. He was married to Josepha Ramos and as far as I know, had 7 children who are still living.

There is a story that there was a sister as well but I have no information on her, no name, birth or death dates. I also know that all four boys came to the U.S. in 1918. All but Lino settled in California. Lino stayed in Texas.

Their parents are Salome De Luna and Monica Fernandez. I have no birth or death dates for Salome but I know his father was Bonifacio De Luna and his mother was Maria Dolores Castro. Monica was born about 1860 and died on 20 Jan 1950 in Bexar, Texas. Her parents were Eugenio Fernandez and her mother was Gerarda Pinedo.

If you think we might be related, let me know!

Map of Parish Boundaries/Plano de Los Curatos, 1780

Hello,
I have uploaded a pdf of a map, "Plano de todos los curatos de Nueva Galicia, 1780" by Domingo Anastasio de Ponce, that includes the boundaries of the parishes of Nueva Galicia. I scanned it in from the book "Cartografía histórica de la Nueva Galicia."

You can find it here: http://www.nuestrosranchos.org/node/19218

Although it's difficult to identify some locations, and some of them seem geographically incorrect, i hope it's useful.

Translation Accelerator/Tips

I, too, like Google translator and as George stated, the accelerator is NOT always entirely accurate, but is adequate enough to give you a fair understanding of the translation. Sometimes it comes out really funny! I do understand, speak and write Spanish, however, I do not use the language often enough to always remember or even know the meaning of certain words, and as with all languages, if you do not use it, you will lose it!

The Google translator does not translate very large amounts at one time. I usually do a paragraph at a time. If it does not work, cut the paragraph down some more. Or as George stated, you may want to try a website translation. I have never tried this feature.

There is a tip I would like to share. If you have added the Google toolbar in Microsoft Explorer, you can add the Google translator accelerator by going to the search arrow in that toolbar. You can then highlight a word, paragraph, or page with your left mouse button, and then right-click your mouse button. You will see an arrow on the bottom or top of the highlighted area. Click on the arrow and you will see a menu box to the right. Click on Google Translate and it will take you to a new tab (page). On the left side of that page under Google Translate, change the first box to Spanish (or whatever language you want) and in the second box click English. The translation will be appear on the right hand side of the page. You can then copy and paste the translation to wherever you want. And since it is in a new tab, you can go back and forth to the original document and the translation. A big help when trying to make heads or tails of something you just found! I cannot translate AOL email into Google translate. I just cut and paste when it's not available. I also open an additional tab with word or email where I can deposit the new translation.

Another accelerator I use is the Google maps accelerator. I can highlight the text of most cities and countries, follow the same steps above, but select the Google maps and it will give me a map (also on a new tab) where you can click out to make the map bigger or click in to make it small enough to see the streets in a city. This is a huge help when I am trying to figure out whether my relative's document info is in the right location, or if I am checking the distance between towns and cities. Plus, I often copy the map to add to my document or just print it. Saves a lot of time in not having to pull that map up again later.

To add accelerators in Windows Explorer: Go to Internet Options in the Control Panel. Click on Programs box on top, then click "Manage Add-ons". I also like to use Dictionary.com and have added as an accelerator.

Another tip is one thing I started doing several months ago on Ancestry.com. I copy all the documents I find on FamilySearch.org and paste them directly into the person's profile under "Add Story". This adds everything that is on the document for anyone else who goes into that profile, including the document location numbers that FamilySearch.org gives all their document. This is a huge help to other researchers looking for proof or connections.

Hope this info helps. If anyone else has helpful tips, I would certainly appreciate them!

Best regards,
Judith (Gerry) Marentes

Talavera or Falavera

Can anyone tell me if Ts in the past looked like Fs sometimes? I've not
noticed it before but then again I don't have many ancestors with surnames
beginning with a T. I've come across an ancestor with what looks clearly
like Falavera, but in a sibling's record is written Talabera. This is from
the early 1800s. Thanks for any feedback.--Raquel

Copy of an original civil record-translating website

Hi,
I've tried four different translation websites and none of them could
translate the tutramiteenmexico.com website. Can anyone show me a
website that will translate websites for the Spainish language
challenged?

Linda

Luna Family from Tlaltenango

I don't seem to be able to break any further than what I now have for my
Luna line. I was able to find Maria Trejo's parents (Tomas Trejo and Maria
Espinoza). Might someone recognize these names as their ancestors as well?
Felix Luna and Maria Trejo married 1851… Gregorio Herrera and Fermin
Duran married 1859
Ambrosio Luna Trejo b: 1851 and Patricia Sandoval
Atanacio Luna Trejo b: 1855 and Maria Florencia Herrera Corchado
(I am a direct descendant of this line and have much of the information)
Margarito Luna Trejo b: 1853 and Regina Herrera married in
1876
Jose Jesus Luna Herrera, October 1877
Gregorio Luna Herrera b: 1878

Pregunta

Mi búsqueda de mis antepasados culmina por falta de más datos, en mi ascendiente Lorenzo Alvarez. Encuentro su boda en 1585 en lo que hoy es Lagos de Moreno Jalisco.

¿Alguien de ustedes tiene alguna sugerencia?

Gracias

Leticia, a very fast an easy way to obtain a new copy of an Acta de
Nacimiento from many towns in Mexico is using the Service of a specialized
agency named: TU TRAMITE EN MEXICO. Contact them to verify if they have
coverage in the town you need.

Their web site is: www.tutramiteenmexico.com , so you can look what you have
to do.
The payment can be done in several banks or at any Oxxo store in Mexico.

Hope this info will help your friend.
