Lozano Research

Hello,

My mother and father's families left Leon, Guanajuato and Aguascalientes, AGS shortly after the Mexican Revolution in 1916. As I understand, my mother's family left Aguascalientes on November 29, 1916 and crossed into the U.S. at Eagle Pass, Texas. My father and his brother left Leon, GTO a year or two later to follow my mother's family.

We have an oral history that is pretty obscure before 1870 of my maternal and paternal grandparents and great grandparents.

My Grandfather was Adrian Lozano and he was born in 1870. He was married to Maria Saucedo who I understand was born around 1881. I would guess that they were married before 1900 probably in Teocaltiche, Jalisco? Maria's parents were Dioinicio Saucedo and Casimera Perez. I have no details on them.

I am looking for information on the Lozano and Saucedo names from Leon de las Aldemas, GTO and Teocaltiche, Jalisco that may lead to information and relatives of my Grandfather Adrian Lozano.

Also, as we understand my grandfather may have been adopted by Joseph and Catrina Avila. I am not sure what their relationship was to my grandfather's family and how old my grandfather may have been when he was adopted.

Any information would be appreciated.

Jalisco on Google Street view.

Probably most of you know about Google street view by now. This company already photographed most of the streets in the United States and now has gone international. I searched in Jalisco, and to my surprise, they have already photographed several cities and town. I was browsing the site and they show street images of pretty much all of Guadalajara, Zapopan and the metropolitan area. I also noticed that they have some of the main roads in some ranchos we are researching on this website:
Ameca
Villa Corona
Acatlan de Juarez
Chapala
Tala
Tequila
Ixtlahuacan del Rio
La Barca
Ocotlan
Tepatitlan
Atotonilco el Alto
Arandas
San Juan de los Lagos
Lagos de Moreno
Teul
Juchipila
Tlaltenango

Well, the list is long, so I'll stop here. I just thought some of you might be interested in checking the streets where your ancestors lived, or maybe rembember the time when you visited your rancho.
To check this, just go to http://maps.google.com/ . On the map on the right, zoom in to Jalisco, and then just grab and drag the little yellow guy over one of the highlighted roads and you are in!

Nicolás Álvarez de la Cruz y Gonzalo Vargas.

Hola amigos, alguien de ustedes tiene información acerca de los ancestros de las siguientes parejas:

Nicolás Álvarez de la Cruz, cónyuge de Juana de Estrada, quienes debieron vivir en Ayo el Chico, Jalisco o Jalostotitlán cerca de 1690.

También alguien de ustedes tiene información de Gonzalo de Vargas, cónyuge de María Romero que debieron vivir por 1685 en Jalostotitlán.

Ellos son mis ancestros, abuelos de Juana Teresa Vargas Estrada, nacida aprox. en 1730 en Tepatitlán.

Introduction of Saul Navarro (amended)

Hello everyone,
It is time to introduce myself. My name is Saul Navarro and I have been researching my family tree for half a year. The places of my research include Nochistlan, Toyahua, Moyahua, Juchipila, all in Zacatecas, Mexticacan, LLano Grande, Jahualica,in Jalisco. The last names in my research include Navarro, Garcia, Gutierrez, Mejia, Mexia, Megia, Quesada, Perez, Roque, Florez, Chavez, Leonardo, Guzman, Donato, Leon, Legaspi, Arambulo, Gonzalez, Vasquez, Yniguez, Estrada, Rios, De Campa, Zepulbeda, Rivera. I have more relatives that lived in Nochistlan Zacatecas than elsewhere, so the bulk of my search is there. My paternal grandfather was Jose Anastacio Navarro Perez baptized on the 02 Apr. 1893, born in Toyahua.
He was married to Ma Catalina Garcia Gutierrez (date unknown), her parents were Presciliano Garcia Quesada bapt.(06 Jan 1867) married on (10 Jan. 1887) to Macedonia Gutierrez Perez bapt.(13 Sept 1867)in Mexticacan Jal. My g-grandfather was Jose Tomas Navarro Mejia bapt.on (22 Dec 1867) married to Maria Andrea Perez Chavez bapt.(02 Dec. 1868)in Nochistlan unknown date of marriage. My gg-grandfther was Jose Bartolome Navarro Roque bapt. (29 Aug.1841) married on (07 Feb. 1865) to Maria Dionicia Mejia Florez bapt. (18 Apr. 1852) in Nochistlan. Dionicia's parents were Pio Mejia Guzman and Maria Socorro Florez Donato unknown Bapt., marriage dates. My ggg-grandfather was Cirilo Navarro Perez (no date) married to Maria Yrinea Roque Leonardo(no bapt. date) on the 02 of May 1838 in Nochistlan Zac. My gggg-grandfather was Rafael Navarro (date unknown) married to Maria Catalina Perez (date unknown).

I have the names of all my sixteen paternal grandparents but no dates of bapt. just that my gggg-grandfather Jose Pablo Perez married Maria Ysabel Legaspi on the 31 May 1823 in Nochistlan Zac. I have names and bapt dates for their children. On the maternal side of my family tree is my grandfather Lorenzo Arambulo Born in el Llano Grande Jalisco, he married (date unknown) Maria Sabas Vasquez bapt. (12 Dec 1897). My grandmother's parents were Pablo Vasquez (date unknown) married to Gregoria Yniguez (date unknown)and that is all I know about them. My g-grandfather is Jose Blas Arambula Estrada bapt. (07 Feb. 1865) married (date unknown) to Diega Gonzalez Garcia bapt. (14 Nov 1873) my guess is in Nochistlan. My gg-grandfather was Francisco Arambula (date unknown) married on (25 Nov.1863) to Maria Victoria Estrada (date unknown). My g-grandmother Diega's parents were Lazaro Gonzales Mexia (date unknown) married on (13 Feb 1863) to Maria Del Refugio Garcia
Rios (date unknown). Ma. Refugio's parents were Antonio Garcia and Tomasa Rios no dates. Lazaro's parents were Jose Simon Gonzales Campa married on (27 Jan. 1836) to Maria De La Cruz Mexia Zepulbeda bapt. date (16 Sept 1816) in Nochistlan Zac. Maria De la Cruz's parents were Rafael Mexia Rivera (date unknown) married on (27 Jul. 1815)to Maria De Jesus Zepulbeda (date unknown)in Nochistlan. Jose Simon's parents were Jose Dionicio Gonzales (date unknown) married on (26 Aug. 1807) to Maria Anastacia De La Campa (unknown) in Nochistlan Zac. Rafael's Parents were Pedro Megia (date unknown) married on (22 May. 1774)in Nochistlan to Petra Rivera (date unknown). Last are the parents of Maria De Jesus Zepulbeda and they were Francisco Zepulbeda married to Ana Maria Perez and no dates.

I hope that this is enough information for my primos to recognize the family line. If anyone can help with the missing dates that would be much appreciated.

Thank you.
Saul Navarro

La Fabrica

Hi - I found some baptismal records of my great-great grandfather, and they
said he was from "La Fabrica" close to Guadalupe, Zacatecas, I think. Has
anyone heard of this? Is it a colonia or a rancho in Zacatecas?

Tlaxcalans

Arturo,

I finally was able to bring up that letter of 1591 from the Viceroy Luis de Velasco to the King, but it has eight pages. It is beautifully written and so legible after all those years, but I have trouble reading that Spanish. In which of the eight pages is the mention of his visit to the caravan of the Tlaxcalan families?

Thanks,

Emilie
Port Orchard, WA

My Tlaxcaltecos roots/surnames: Coahuila

Bermeo and Flores are the surnames that I have been able to trace to my
"Tlaxcalteco" roots. I have been able to go as far back to a marriage that
took place in Villa de Gegedo in 1762, where it states that the parents of
Thomas Bermeo and Juana Flores were originally from Nadadores and were
"indios tlacaltecos".

It appears that Thomas had a brother (Lucas) who was married to Maria
Andrea Flores - the brothers may have married sisters.

The parents of Thomas and Lucas Bermea were Gaspar Bermeo and Ma.
Candelaria de los Rios married about 1742 in Nadadores, Coahuila.

Because of what was mentioned in Thomas' marriage certificate, I am making
the assumption that "Rios" was also a surname used by my Tlaxcaltecan
roots.

I don't know if this helps anyone...but it just might help.

The other son, Lucas Bermeo who was married to married to Maria Andrea
Flores on Feb. 15,1768 in Villa de Gigedo

The mission settlement "Dulce Nombre de Jesús de Peyotes", later became as
Villa de Rosales and Villa de Gigedo, now known as Villa Union, Coahuila..

.

Their parents were Gaspar Bermeo and Ma. Candelaria de los Rios married
about 1742.

On the marriage record of Thomas Bermeo and Juana Flores it is mentioned
that They were "indios tlaxcaltecos" and their parents origin was
Nadadores,Coahuila, this is a small town close to Cuatro Cienegas.

AREIZAGA/ARIZAGA

Hola a todos,
Estoy investigando el apellido Areizaga/Arizaga. Uno de Los registros mas
antiguos que he encontrado es el de matrimonio de VICENTE ARIZAGA DEL RIO

Vicente tubo un hermano que se llamo: Josef Antonio Arizaga del Rio y caso
con Maria Ygnacia Rico el 20 de Noviembre de 1799 en La Barca Jalisco Mexico
El tambien esta anotado como "vecino de este pueblo." Hasta hoy no e podido
encontrar ningun dato acerca de donde nacieron o de donde llegaron. Estoy
buscando en Guanajuato San Luis Potosi y Michoacan y aunque e encontrado
muchos Arizaga, No he encontrado a Francisco, Vicente o Josef Antonio
alrededor de esas fechas.
Gracias por anticipado por cualquier informacion que me puedan otorgar.

What ever happened to the missing 1719-1733 baptismal records from Aguascalientes?

To: all members of Nuestros Ranchos

Te following excerpts are from a letter I sent to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, UT in August of 2008. It contains important information for those focusing their research in Aguascalientes. Since I didn't get a reply or noticed any corrective action taken, I decided to post it in this forum for the benefit of all members of Nuestros Ranchos.

"For several years I had been trying to find the baptismal record of my 4th great grandfather Vicente Ruiz de Esparza, but soon realized that it was missing. As a matter of fact, all the baptisms of “Españoles” from 1719-1733 from “Parroquia de la Asunción de Aguascalientes” seemed to be missing. I searched over and over for these records, carefully combing through a number of microfilms, to no avail. Finally, in desperation, I decided to take a trip to Aguascalientes in central Mexico (I live in Texas) to find out if the book had been lost or never filmed by the LDS."

"The original records are kept by the Catholic Church in a building adjacent to the Cathedral. Unfortunately, these records are not accessible to the public, as the Church is trying to preserve them for future generations. An exception was made in my case, considering that I had embarqued in such a long journey to look for a specific record. It took the librarian less than 30 minutes to locate the record, which he found in an “insert” with records for the 1781-1786 time period. The following paragraphs will explain what happened."

"Sometime during the late 19th or early 20th century the Catholic Church in Aguascalientes decided to organize hundreds of records by rebinding them with new hardcovers. The number on the original volumes, numbered sequentially #1 thru ?? was displayed on the spine of the new books. It is important to mention that in colonial times the records for descendants of Spaniards or “Españoles” were kept in separate books from those of “Indios, Negros, Mulatos, Mestizos, Castizos...etc.” Record Book #12 consisted of baptisms for “Españoles” for the years 1719-1733. This book was inadvertedly left out and later bound with books #39-43 which were for baptisms for the years 1781-1786. This book covers the periods 1781-1733 and 1719-1733 as shown on the enclosed pictures." (not included here)

"The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Days Saints’ crew that microfilmed these records in the 1970s must have realized that they were out of order because they kept them separate. The records for 1781-1786 are included in microfilm #299445. The baptisms for “Españoles” for 1719-1733 ended up in microfilm #299530, erroneously identified as being from La Cieneguilla. La Cieneguilla is a rural community and farming area some 20 miles SW of Aguascalientes."

"The baptismal records for 1719-1733 have been extracted and recently included in the new FamilySearch Pilot site, improperly identifying each record as being from La Cieneguilla instead of Aguascalientes. This is very confusing and should be corrected."

"I have found other errors that I plan to report separately, but do not include them in this letter to keep it simple. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me."

Regards,

Mexican Imperial Almanac of 1866

I just found a great find through doing some google.com.mx searches this past weekend in relation to Imperial Orders of Mexico. It appears that there was an Almanaque Imperial produced during the reign of Maximiliano y Carlota. The one I found was from the year 1866, when Imperial control reached its full extent in Mexico.

There is a wealth of information, especially names to be found. Among them is military information that seems so hard for many of us to get to. For example, the comisarios imperiales are listed. The area we are looking into was divided between the Tercera Division, its capital being San Luis Potosi. The area, while including San Luis Potosi also included Fresnillo, which i'm guessing encompassed the northern half of Zacatecas. The rest of Zacatecas, Aguascalientes, Jalisco, Colima and Nayarit among other area's were under the Cuarta Division, its capital being Guadalajara.

Departamentos del Imperio are also listed. Breaking it down from the prefect of the region, to the subprefects of the various cities of those regions.

I also have a seperate list, but also overlaps in many places with the almanaque imperial, of those knighted during the Second Mexican Empire from these three states. I collected this list from a book I had just learned about called Genealogias de Familias Antiguas Mexicanos, published in 1908.

I intend to post up these in the files section. I didn't post a link as the almanac is scattered throughout google in pdf format, although I can post some links if anyone wants to look through that whole book. The Genealogias book, which is actually 3 seperate and large books, I looked through it in person at the special collections section at my university.

familias Pró de Zcatecas

Estoy investigando el apellido Pro de Zacatecas,

Coahuila and Nuevo Leon Films

I have uploaded a large number of batch numbers for Coahuila and Nuevo Leon to the films database on Nuestros Ranchos. Given that many Nuestros Ranchos members have ancestry in those states, particularly those whose families ended up in Texas, I think these should be very useful to the membership.

If you have any films from those states on permanent loan, please go into the database and indicate so. I will try to get San Luis Potosi and some other northern states into the database in the near future as well.

ESPANOL

He subido una gran cantidad de números batch de Coahuila y Nuevo León a la base de datos de peliculas en Nuestros Ranchos. Dado que muchos miembros de Nuestros Ranchos tienen ascendencia en esos estados, en particular aquellos cuyas familias terminaron en Texas, creo que seran bastante utiles para la membresia.

Si usted tiene alguna película de esos estados en préstamo permanente, favor de entrar a la base de datos e indicarlo. Voy a tratar de montar numeros de San Luis Potosí y algunos otros estados del norte en la base de datos en el futuro cercano.

Researching Mexican military records

I wanted to thank the person who suggested that we email the following email (archivo@mail.sedena.gob.mx) for information about relatives who served in the Mexican military. I sent an email on July 31 and got a response back today that indicated they do have such information on my ancestor.

While my Spanish isn't that great, I think the letter says that it authorizes me to see the actual records in Mexico city, and take a digital photo of them, but not a photocopy because they are too delicate. Did anyone else get a response like this? While I'm excited about this new potential source of information because I thought the trail on my Pineda line had gone cold, I'm not really in a position to fly to Mexico city just to look at these documents. Any suggestions?

In case anyone else is interested, the person in question is named Pedro Pineda, my great-great grandfather in or near Tlaltenango, Zacatecas; he was born about 1851. I think the letter says he was a major in the Mexican military. Thanks!

Chris Pineda, MPP, JD
