Hello,

I also have de Anda in my family. I have Rafael de Anda who was married to Josefa Ortega. They had Maria Alvina de la Merced de Anda Ortega on March 31, 1794.

She married Jose Rafael Muñoz Romo on the 5th of May, 1813. They had Jose Narcisco Muñoz de Anda the 29 of October, 1831.

Raul,

I don't have De Anda in my family tree, but I often travel to Tepatitlan to visit my in-laws.? There are many De Anda families still living in Tepa who are very?important to the community.? I hope you are able to connect with them as you research.

Eloise?Reyes?

1968 ot 1969 ???

Are there any online sources of information or portals where records can
be requested for the 1968 and 1969 time period for Altas Palmas, Jerez,
Zacatecas?

Hi Joseph:

There is a website called: Actaexpress.com in El Paso. They can get birth
certificates, marriage certificates and other legal documents from most
places in Mexico, for a fee, of course. The better alternative is to
contact the Registro Civil in Jerez, Zacatecas. I am sure Jerez has a
website with a directory where you can find a way to contact their office of
the Registro Civil.

Good luck.

Aguayo and Becerra

Trying to find information on Diego De Aguayo (birth abt. 1730) married Francisca De Becerra (birth abt. 1735) parents to Candido De Aguayo (Wife Maria Gomez De Mendoza).

Comentarios

Jaime,

I have compiled some information about Diego de Aguayo and Francisca Javiera
Becerra Contreras. However, I must warn you that I have not verified this
information, and that it should be verified using other sources.

I have Diego's parents as Nicolás de Aguayo and Juana de la Cruz González,
who married 19 Sep 1672 in Nochistlán, Zac. (LDS Film 0226724 Marriages
1627-1686 Nochistlán, Zac.) Juana was a native of Santa María de los Lagos,
Jalisco. Parents of Nicolás de Aguayo were Diego de Aguayo and Isabel de
Arisaga. Parents of Juana de la Cruz González were Juan de la Cruz and
María Andrea González.

Diego de Aguayo (m. to Francisca Becerra) had a brother named Nicolás de
Aguayo, who was baptized 6 Sep 1683 in Nochistlán, Zac. (LDS Film 0226646
Baptisms 1627-1686 Nochistlán, Zac.).

The parents of Francisca Javiera Becerra Contreras were Miguel Becerra and
Nicolasa de Contreras. Parents of Nicolasa de Contreras were Juan de
Contreras and Josepha de Saavedra, both from Lagos.

Diego de Aguayo and Francisca Becerra had a son named Macario de Aguayo y
Contreras who married 1) Mónica Durán Cuevas 22 Dec 1746 and 2) Thomasa de
Luna (I'm not sure which marriage was first).

I also have a second marriage for Francisca Javiera Becerra Contreras. She
married Santiago de Contreras Macías from Nochistlán, Zac., son of Lucas
Contreras Lomelín and Juana Macías Valadez. Their daughter Ana María
Contreras Macías married Raphael Ferrer Millero 20 Jun 1742 in Nochistlán
(LDS Film 0226726 Marriages 1736-1762 Nochistlán, Zac.)

Notice that the approximate dob 1730 and 1735 for Diego de Aguayo and
Francisca Becerra do not match the above information. Seems to be a
difference of one or two generations. Coult there be another couple with
the same names? I have nothing on Cándido de Aguayo, who married María
Gómez de Mendoza.

Hope this info. is helpful to you.

Thank you very much Bill for the information on your findings. You might be correct. My Diego and Francisca sound like they might be a generation or two later. On the LDS FamilySearch Site, it shows them being born and married in Jalostotilan, JAL. There is one anomally. Francisca's last name is spelled Veserra. Don't know if this makes a difference. On the other hand, the grand-son Agapito Aguayo, his wife Narciza De Loza's grand-father was from Nochistlán, Zac. (born 1735). Thanks Again. At least I know now that I will need to look at Nochistlán, Zac. a little more closely.

Hi Rose, you info is confusing to me.. 

My files are on Rootsweb.com  complete with whatever source record I have and Jose Bentura Gutierrez is my direct ancestor on my Mothers side, she was Gutierrez.  I have this Gutierrez line back to abt 1660 in Michoacan.

Some of the dates and names you have do not match my records though..

I'd be glad to help make corrections to my files or yours if I can..

Bienvenido Michael, I too descend from the Correas of El Teul De gonzales Zacatecas, I have records of most of them dating back to 1800's starting with Jose Maria Correa and Isabel Sandoval, I don't see a connection yet of your ancestors to mine yet but i will keep on trying. You might want to check my file in the ranchos, under Anna Arellano Smith.
Saludos, Anna Arellano Smith

Hello! I'm glad to have found a site dedicated to the exact area that my ancestors are from... I have been bitten, recently, by the geneology bug - but have always wondered about the lives of my ancestors and have felt the desire to know their names and key dates in their lives.
My paternal grandparents were born in (or around) Huitzila, Zac. My grandfather (Apolonio Castro Bañuelos, b. circa 1921) came to the US in the 40's (settled in California later) and then brought my grandmother (Maria de Jesus Correa Uribe) and some children, with the rest being born here in the U.S.

(The idea of the fire comes from my grandmother). They have never known their real birthdays.

My grandfather's parents: *Damaso/Damas (*or some other form) Castro Tejeda and Petra Bañuelos Herrera.

My grandmother's parents: Leopoldo Correa *Vasquez (b. 1898, El Teul, Zac.) and Maria Altagracia Uribe Campos (absolutely nothing on her).

Just recently I have found two marriage dates for my grandfather's grandparents!

Nicolás Castro m. Simona *Tejeda (*or Tegeda, as it was written in the digital entry)
11th Feb. 1874
Mezquital Del Oro, Zac.

and also,

Genaro Bañuelos
m. Epigmenia Herrera
12th Oct. 1884
San Cristóbal de la Barranca, Jal. (Just over the border from Zac.)

I am lucky enough to have a grandmother who recounted not only all of her grandparents' names, but also the names of my grandfather's grandparents (!) - so I'm quite sure they're correct (As the dates/places seem right).

But have no idea where to go from there! Have any advice?

You may want to try and order some of the above docs and see if they list grandparent information.

Good Luck on your Search,

Hi Angie,
Long time no talk. It's been awhile since I've worked on my genealogy and I've also moved and have no idea where my research is currently.
I've ignored most of the Nuestros Ranchos emails that I've gotten but I just noticed this one was from you and so I opened it.
Please refresh my memory...was Nicolaza one of the sisters of Bernarda Vazquez (who married Eustacio Zatarain)? If she is then I'm very glad I opened this because I had no marriage or children for her yet.

Best,
Lori Zatarain Maurer

Thanks for the welcome and information... I did find my great-grandfather's (Leopoldo Correa, b.1898) birthday earlier, but thank you for finding brothers and sisters from my Correa & Uribe families. I had no idea there were so many instances of my great-great-grandparents' names! I'm glad that now I'm able to get my grandmother's opinion on the names shown (Which would be her uncles/aunts!)...

I'm a little stumped at how to obtain certain films and view the original writing... Are they downloadable through the internet or do they come by mail? Maybe you can explain a bit about the procedure? Thanks so much! (Hopefully we'll find a link!).

I'm excited to find out! Do you have any idea, off the top of your head, where Bernarda was born? (I'm under the impression they're all from Zac.) Also, I'd like to see her parent's names, as that would possibly be the farthest back I've been thus far(!) I'm not sure what we need to know to make certain, but if you have any questions feel free to ask.

One thing I thought was interesting was her name spelled Nicolaza Vasquez (or Varquez in the entires, which must be a typo), which I always imagined to be Nicolasa with an 's'. Of course, in those days there probably weren't strong standards (?) not that its too important right now!

So Bernarda is your great or great-great grandmother?, you listed both =)

I'm also a coin collector (mostly US coins). I have a few thousand coins that I collected in the 1950s and 1960s. Most are AU or XF condition. Some are very rare and very valuable.

My prize coin was given to me a few years ago. It's a silver peso from Mexico. It is almost uncirculated. It was minted in 1944, the year of my birth in Mexico.

I read somewhere that the term "two bits" was in reference of a quarter dollar (25 cents).

This was in reference to the "8 Real Coins". 8 divided by 4 was "2" bits or one quarter.

That's also when the pirates of the 16th century used the term "pieces of 8" (referring to their booty of "8 Real Coins".

Coins from Colonial Mexico circulated widely in the English colonies in North America, and in fact were common in the early days of the United States. In fact, they circulated widely throughout the world.

The 8 reales silver coin is the size of the old silver dollars, and when in one of the better grades is quite striking! This coin is also called the Spanish Milled Dollar, or a Piece of Eight. Thomas Jefferson recommended to the Continental Congress in 1776 that it be adopted as the official currency of the new United States.

The 8 reales coin was divided into 8 parts or bits. Two bits was equal to to 25 cents in the US (remember the old rhyme ... 2 bits, 4 bits, 6 bits, a dollar?).

The Mexico city mint mark is an M with a little circle over it. These same coins were also minted in Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Guatemala and Peru; these will be identified by different mint marks.

Earlier coins exist from the 1500s; these are irregular in shape and are referred to as "cobs." These are more expensive, and especially so when in good condition, and when they have a date on them.

There are also gold coins from the colonial period; these are quite expensive.

Méjico vs. Mexico

I have noticed that some members of the group spell México with a J, ie. Méjico.

For exmaple in Daniel's message from about a year ago he wrote:

Comentarios

Comentario

First of all, I would like to say that I have enjoyed all of the discussion (and banter?) on the Mejico vs. Mexico debate.

Daniel, you write:
"I agree with Eduardo, Mexico wasnt Mexico until around the time of the Revolution. When New Spain declared independence, Mexico was just a pure thought. It wouldnt be until the Mexican Revolution that would unite Mexico socailly and politically, even though it somewhat still isnt. Can anyone comment on this part? I was told no one really used the nationality Mejicano?"

There certainly was an ethnic identity of being mexicano long before independence. The Mexica were one of the three (and principal) ethnic groups that formed the triple alliance of the Aztec empire. The term Aztec is an ex-post academic invention precisely to differentiate the Mexican empire (pre-colonization), its culture, society, etc. from that related to the modern concept of Mexico (which includes many additional territories and lacks some such as El Salvador). There are plenty of colonial documents that refer to "la nacion mexicana" and even more to the "lengua mexicana" including official colonial legal documents written in "la lengua mexicana" as this was the lingua franca of New Spain for quite some time after the conauest.

I have even run across documents where tlaxcaltec colonizers adamantly declare that they are NOT mexicanos (I would imagine that this was because the Mexica were their historic enemies and they had helped the Spaniards defeat them).

Comentario

This is just to expand on previous comments.

According to DICCIONARIO PANHISPÁNICO DE DUDAS - Primera edición (octubre 2005) from the Real Academia Española that during the Middle Ages the X was pronounced similar the current way of sh in English and the ch in French.
http://buscon.rae.es/dpdI/SrvltGUIBusDPD?lema=x

Although Antonio de Nebrija, the author of la primera gramática española (1492), wrote "La x, ya dijimos qué son tiene en el latín, y que no es otra cosa sino breviatura de cs; nosotros dámosle tal pronunciación, cual suena en las primeras letras de estas dicciones: xenabe, xabón, o en las últimas de aquestas: relox, balax; mucho contra su naturaleza, porque esta pronunciación, como dijimos, es propia de la lengua arábiga, de donde parece que vino a nuestro lenguaje."
http://www.antoniodenebrija.org/libro1.html#5

The Real Academia Española also asks for the world to respect México and to spell it's name and other similar names to be spelled in this way.
http://buscon.rae.es/dpdI/SrvltGUIBusDPD?lema=M%E9xico

However many refuse to respect the spelling of México.
http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=211016

The use of x as /sh/ still exists in Spain with the Basque names and words such as Xavier and Etxeverría. Xavi from FC Barcelona is Catalan but the etymological origin of his name is Basque and is pronounced by the whole country of Spain as Shavi.

Armando

Comentario

Its not that people disrespect the spelling of Mexico, I spell it Mejico b/c thats how I was taught by my parents. My father dislikes the X. Because in Spanish it would make the S sound. I always get criticized by other mejicanos but I always tell them, a lot of people in Mexico spell it like that. -Daniel

My grandma was from Jerez, Zacatecas, and in doing my genealogical

always been Xeres. The writers were the priests, who were Spanish.
In the 1820s on, I believe it has been spelled Jerez. Just throwing
in my "dos centavos" in the general discussion, Marge:)

Comentario

To Arturo:

The use of the letter "x" in Spanish is one of the strongest indicators of an Arabic influence in the language. At some point the Academia Real decided that the sound represented by the "x" wasn't acceptable anymore. I no longer remember which edition of their dictionary enunciates the change. The decision to keep the "x" in the Spanish of the Americas was made at the time the nations of the western hemisphere broke away from Spanish political control.

The sound in Arabic is made by bending back the tongue and vibrating the back part of the velum in the buccal cavity at the same time forcing air into the pharyngeal area. What actually occurred is that the sounds of Spanish have become more oral and less guttural. When the christians arrived in the western hemisphere the almost 100% phonetic ability of 6th century Spanish came in handy. Spanish succeeded in graphically representing virtually every sound they heard in the languages of the newly discovered indigenes. The sound is somewhat complicated to use. The sound has been replaced in Spanish without the feature of doubling the tongue back. Reading the church records will show you that it took awhile to settle on whether to use a "j, g, h, or x" in standard orthography. The languages of the western hemisphere did not create the need for the letter "x". Sixteenth century Spanish already had been using that letter for centuries before 1492. Linguists have decided on using "j" with the vowels "a, o, u" and "g" with vowels "e, I". The reason is a somewhat Germanic one- in German the vowels "a, o, u" are considered "strong" and need the "j". The others are weak and the letter "g" will do. My German instructor used this terminology but it's possible that it is no longer described in that fashion.

Many years ago (class of '61) my language professors stated that the rejection of the "j" in the name of Mexico was deliberately done. It was a conscious act of rejecting the past of Spanish oppressive rule. I personally consider it an attempt to affront those whose nation is no longer under the domination of Spain.

I hope I answered at least some of your question and didn't just "muddy the waters."

The cover of my passport says MEXICO, and below is the seal of the country with the official name: ESTADOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS. In Spain they usually spell it with J.
The letter X is pronounced in different ways in Mexican Spanish, especially with words derived from native languages.
Sometimes we pronounce it like a Spahish J (sort of English H with thick Mexican accent): México, Texas, Oaxaca, Xalisco, Xalapa, Xavier.
Sometimes like a CS (English X): Texcoco, examen, explicar
Sometimes like S: Xochimilco, Xóchitl
Sometimes like SH: Xola
In every official document (money, birth certificates, military and voter's registration) you will find the name of the country written with an X (Estados Unidos Mexicanos), and also in any official international delegation (we are just MEXICO at the United Nations, OEA, Olympics, World Cup).
There is a famous poem by Ricardo López Méndez that says: "México, creo en ti, porque escribes tu nombre con la equis que algo tiene de cruz y de calvario" (Mexico, I believe in you, because you write your name with an X that has a little of cross and of calvary).
Warmest regards,

Comentario

So, what do you mean by this. Ok, it is currently written with an X but you
have to realize that México was not always México. In the past it did not
exist; things, places, people need to be looked at in their historical
setting when doing genealogy. The truth is that México as it exists today
used to be part of a different country, just like the United States of
America and they both usted to have different names. Nothing to be ashamed
about. The fact remains that when you are talking about pre-1900, it is not
México. So there should be no problem realizing that the names are different
for different time periods, and should not be designated as having their
name spelled in just one way.
Do not get me wrong, if one is talking about modern México, post 1900, then
the current writing of the name should be used.

Comentario

Well, the original commentary was that "I was just wondering about the politics/tradition/meaning behind the use of such a spelling and would appreciate any comments". So what I mean is that in the 20th and 21st Centuries the official name of the country is written with X which is pronounced as a Spanish J, either if you use the long name of "Estados Unidos Mexicanos", the also official short name of "México", or the less common but also used "República Mexicana", so it falls in the politics. In the past Jalisco was written as Xalisco, the capital of Veracruz to date is Xalapa, and the chiles named after it are known as Jalapeños, yet we pronounce the X as SH when talking about the Mexicas. Regarding the pre-1900's existance of Mexico, I'm pretty sure we have been officially using one or another form of the name since the 1820's, although I'm not sure about the spelling or pronunciation.

Comentario

Interesting to see that in postage stamps:
-On 15 May, 1864 the regency replaced the existing stamps with the Eagle stamps depicting the Coat of arms of Mexico, an eagle killing a snake. A crown was added to the eagle to indicate the monarchy and the spelling was changed from "Méjico" to "México"-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postage_stamps_and_postal_history_of_Mexico

Yet in money the X has been used since the first empire in the 1820's:
http://www.banxico.org.mx/sitioingles/billetesymonedas/didactico/notesM…

I don't know if there have been any coins or bills issued with the J.

I agree with Eduardo, Mexico wasnt Mexico until around the time of the Revolution. When New Spain declared independence, Mexico was just a pure thought. It wouldnt be until the Mexican Revolution that would unite Mexico socailly and politically, even though it somewhat still isnt. Can anyone comment on this part? I was told no one really used the nationality Mejicano? Socially wise people still used there raza to describe people, just español was replaced with guerro or blanco? The last pre modern Mejico census around the time of the revolution stated every persons race. This is why now united as Mexicans, people get confused what their race is, eventhough Mexican is not a race, its a nationality. Mexicans can be, white, black, mestizo, asian and anything between.
Also, there is no such thing as Mexican Spanish. Spanish spoken in Mexico is called Castellano. -Daniel

_________________________________________________________________

I've lived in Mexico for decades and I still have not met any Mexican who claims to speak Castellano, that term is mainy used n Spain because it is politically incorrect to call the language Spanish since there are other "Spanish languages" as catalán, gallego and vasco. We speak español, yet the Spanish we speak is different to the one spoken in other countries like Argentina and Spain, and even when they are making fun of us they use words and phrases typical of Mexico.

I've lived in the USA for 63 years. I learned Castellano in High School Spanish Class. I can only say that there are different Spanish's. Castellano, Mexican. and USA. i.e. a simple match (fire): Castellano= fosforo? Mexican= serillo? USA = Mecha ? also: railroad train: Castellano/Mexican= ferrocarril? USA= tren. also: corn: Castellano= maize? Mexican(Aztec)/USA= elote also turkey: Castellano=pavo? Mexican (Aztec)/USA= huajolote.

The point being is that Spainards, Mexicans, USA Hispanics, and other nation's Hispanics tend to "nationalize" the Spanish language to fit their own native country.

I understand your point, the reason why its not common to hear in Mexico

'hablo castellano' is b/c we all know we speak Castellano, its the only dialectin Mexico

actually its politically correct to call all the Spanish in the Americas Castellano,

who was the Monarchs who sent the conquistadors Isabel de Castilla. Just because people speak the language differently doesnt mean its different. I think you interpret the term Castellano as the accent from Spain, this is false. Enrique Iglesias and Vicente Fernandez both speak Castellano just as an example. I have many docuements, ie the census of mexicowhere it states people speak castellano in Mexico, I can send it to you if you like.

Hi! I know that castellano and español do indeed refer to the same language known as Spanish. However, pretty much everybody I know in Mexico calls the language español rather than castellano. That term is kind of an archaism in Mexico. In all Mexican primary schools, whether they are private or public, everybody has to use same the free textbooks provided by the government, and those regardng the language are named "Español". So, I'll dare to say thay in current Mexican Spanish, "castellano" is "español".

For me it is kind of funny that due to political correctness the only place were Spanish should not be called Spanish but Castillian is Spain. Yet, the Castillian language authorities in Spain are members of the "Real Academia de la Lengua Española".

Current Mexican Census questionnaires refer to the language as español rather than castellano, they actually assume everybody speaks Spanish, they only ask you if you speak "español" if you said you speak a native language:
http://www.inegi.org.mx/est/contenidos/espanol/cuestionarios/censos/C_c…
Makes you wonder, the yesteryear census workers wrote Castellano in their documents. Was the question, "do you speak Castillian?" and the answer yes; or was it "what language do you speak?" and whether they answered español or castellano they would write the latter?

VN

Comentario

I was raised spelling Mexico as Méjico. I asked this along time ago. Maybe its because

my parents are alteños. According to my grandfather (I try to paraphrase as best as I remember!)

I guess in Old Castilian the X was used for J, since the letter didnt exist but the sound did.

So the X made the J sound. When the conquistadores came they learned the people were

Mexica (Mesheeca) so they gave it a more Europeanized name, Mexico (except the X stood for sounds that didnt exist in Castilian, ie. SH. During the colony it was actually still pronounced Meshico, except it had the Castilian Whistle not actually SH like in English. When more Europeans were deciding where to go in America, thye would prob ask "Por que no vamos a Mexico (Mesico) (whistle). But at the same Mexico was really used. Mexico being Spain's principal colony usually was just reffered as New Spain, it was common usage. Then or eventually in the early colony the X slowly changed to the J and K sound. I guess there were rules on the J and K giving birth to modern Castilian. In NEw spain the J would be pronounced the same in Spain, the gargal (sounds like German?). During the last years of the colony Mexico was spelt as Mejico, eventually the MExican Criollos changed back to Mexico because for them the J sound was X. I am getting confused as I type! Its a difficult subject. Eventually down the line (today) parts of Mejico and Spain spell it as Méjico. Because its 'proper' usage by the Real Academia Española. Parts like Los Altos its very popular to spell it MEjico, I would think all alteños would spell it like that? Mariano Gonzalez Leal does as well. I know I get a bunch of comments why do you spell it like that? I tell people, its how my ancestors spelt it and how I learned. Since Los Altos is so high, we might have kept colonial stuff from Spain? I know my parents have a little tiny whistle when they talk. How I speak is how my parents speak, its the same basic concept, imagine since all alteños intermarried were the same family by blood just different last names. Im pretty sure we have our own little dialect going on. I do feel like an alteño eventhough botn in the US, i have learned the culture, raised in it, look like the typical alteño, lived there for a year, eat the food, speech, genealogy has helped me a lot feel proud of who my ancestors were a very proud and hard working people. Well not sure if this helps or at least sheds light! -Daniel Camino

Calisto Samaniego, Sacerdote

Hello to all!

I just got back from Guadalajara. I was not able to attend the Valle de Guadalupe meeting because my uncle was very ill so I went straight to Guadalajara. Not all was lost. He told me that my GGGG Grandfather, Calisto Samaniego born around 1820, probably in Juchipila, was a priest that left the priesthood to marry/be with Lina Salazar, my GGGG Grandmother. I descend from his son Jesus Samaniego and Cayetana Castaneda. Any idea on how I can get started solving this mystery? I can't find any other info on him/Lina.

Hello,

This is a comment regarding a "dote," As far as I know, in Mexico, a dote
was for a marriage. I know for a fact that in the mid 1600's one of my
ancestors, the Alferez Real de la Villa de Salamanca Dn. Cristobal de
Arizaga, doto the sum of $70,000 pesos o reales to her fiance Da. Maria de
Elizalde y Guzman, daughter of Dn. Antonio de Elizalde y Perez de Vergara,
Alferez Real de la Ciudad de Valladolid and Da. Mariana de Guzman.

When I was very young, I used to hear that nuns also got a dote because they
were getting marry to the church...

Have a good day!

Evangelina Arizaga

Hello Everyone,

I have a dictionay from my great granfather from 1876 and the meaning for "dote" is:

Dote: Caudal que lleva la mujer cuando toma estado.

Dotar: Dar ó señalar á una mujer algún caudal en dinero ó alhajas para tomar estado.
Señalar bienes para alguna fundación.
Adornar la naturaleza á alguno con particulares dones.

Dotal: Perteneciente al dote.

Dotador/ra: Que dota.

Dotación: Acción y efecto de dotar.

Renta perpetua que se destina á la manutención de alguna fundación ó establecimiento.

Todo lo que necesita un navio y se le señala para hacer un viaje.

Número de soldados y demás que necesita y se da á una plaza para su defensa.

FW: 1930 Census for Jalisco

We have started indexing for the State of Jalisco, starting with Acatlan de Juarez, specifically Los Pozos.  If anyone would like me to look out for names from this location please ge

Hi, Francisco, I will keep your information but I need to tell you this can take a while. There are many municipalities in Jalisco and I may not necessarily get lucky but I will definitely check the best I can.

Hi Esther,
Can you check for the PAULINO SEVILLA married to HEXIQUIA MORGUTIA. Both are my
grandparents.  I don't know where exactly they were born. To my understanding
they may have been born in Santa Catarina Jalisco (AKA General Andres Figueroa)
or Zacoalco de Torres, but they could have born anywhere.

I known that many SEVILLA'S were born in Zacoalco and the sorrounding
localities, but I have not been able to trace further back than my grandfather
Paulino Sevilla.

I know that his name appears in the 1930 census. That's all I know.
Thanks Francisco

Francisco, I don`t know if you receibed my last email about 2 months ago where I gave you some tips and advises about your granparent Paulino. I remember I gave you several information and localities where you can find some Sevillas (I saw them) amd Morguitas.

Did you see it?

Hi Esther,
Can you check for the PAULINO SEVILLA married to HEXIQUIA MORGUTIA. Both are my grandparents.  I don't know where exactly they were born. To my understanding they may have been born in Santa Catarina Jalisco (AKA General Andres Figueroa) or Zacoalco de Torres, but they could have born anywhere.

I known that many SEVILLA'S were born in Zacoalco and the sorrounding localities, but I have not been able to trace further back than my grandfather Paulino Sevilla.

I know that his name appears in the 1930 census. That's all I know.
Thanks Francisco

 Hi everyone,

We have started indexing for the State of Jalisco, starting with Acatlan de Juarez, specifically Los Pozos.  If anyone would like me to look out for names from this location please get back to me.  I can only download 5 badges at a time, as I am sure there will be many others doing Jalisco.

Hi Rose,

An explanation is in the first few pages of the Record Book of Informaciones Matrimoniales (No. 54/55). The title on pg. 1 (Image 2 of 432) reads as follows:

"Año de 1739
Autos sobre la dotación de las huérfanas que fundó para esta Villa de Aguas Calientes, la de Lagos, y Real de los Asientos, Don Ylario González.
Superintendente de ellas y demás Dotaciones Piadosas el Dr. D. Manuel Colón de Larreategui, Cura Beneficiado y Vicario Juez Eclesiástico de dicha Villa"

The freelance translation of this title is as follows:

"Year of 1739
"Proceedings about the endowment for orphans founded for the town of Aguas Calientes, and those of Lagos and the Real de los Asientos by Mr. Ylario González.
The Superintendent of these and other pious causes Dr. Don Manuel Colón de Larreategui, Clergyman and Vicar, Judge of Ecclesiastical Affairs of said village."

The introduction explains that Mr. Ylario González, obviously a wealthy man, left a substantial amount of money for charity and other pious causes, which were written in his final will and testament. He left R. 2,000 (reales oro) for a "capellanía" or fund for the Church administered by Miguel Ylario González as Chaplain; R. 2,000 for another "capellanía" administered by the sons of D. Joseph Palacios; R. 2,000 for the festivities of Ntra. Sra. de los Dolores in the Parish of Asientos; R. 1,000 for an ornament for the Virgin Mary; and the remaining 16,000 reales for the orphan found. Mr. González stipulated that the orphan fund was for the legitimate daughters of the poorest families of the area. They had to be of Spanish descent, i.e. "españolas" and that the winner(s) would be selected by a draw method (sorteo). Obviously the intention was that the selected girl(s) would become nuns.

Hope this gives you a better idea of these few pages in the book. I've found similar unrelated items in other books, usually the founding of "capellanías" or chaplainships, church visits by higher Church authorities, inspections, decrees and various other religious matters.

Rgds,

I thought a dote was for marriage, a dowry. I might be mistaken but I
thought it that was the meaning of dote. If that is the case then these poor
orphaned daughters are being given the opportunity to marry by means
of raffling their names. They would then be provided with a sum sufficient
to cover the expenses of the marriage. In essence they would be able to
bring some money to the marriage thus being a more attractive companion.

Thank you Bill for your help....and everyone's input....I noticed that Ylario Gonzalez' name was mentioned in every document and thought it strange.....since I don't read spanish very well.....it's always good to have another set of eyes. I'm excited about this find....I'm thinking of extracting the names for future use....I may need it later.

As far as the Calvillo genealogy, I have 3 branches of Calvillo's, none that are related to date and I've taken them back into the early to mid 1700's. I'll have to look at that genealogy again once I finish looking for missing ancestors on this film.

Thanks again all

To Eduardo:

The secondary meaning of "dotar" is to donate funds to an institution or a beneficent organization. Francisco Xavier Rincon Gallardo's family was immensely wealthy. I read a few of the entries in the online entries. A gift of about 23,000 pesos was parceled out to "huérfanas, españolas, hijas legítimas” who could prove their lineage. The prize for the winner of the lottery was to carry a lighted candle and a lamp in a procession. The observance was to take place on Feb. 2 in honor of the Virgin Mary’s suffering. The winner also had to attend a three-hour Mass.

The lottery was to be held in Aguascalientes, Lagos, and Real de Asientos. There are about 40 – 50 letters of application/interest in the first 75 images. I didn’t translate the records nor read them carefully. I can’t say whether or not there was some cash prize for the winners. The Calvillo family was singled out for special treatment. There are more than twenty letters detailing who is descended from either Pedro or Juan Marcelino Calvillo. I became curious because my wife is Calvillo. It is a very interesting glimpse into how a certain segment of society did things.

Nowhere in the records did I see that the money was intended to send anyone to a religious order or promote marriage. But I read quickly.

Thank you, David,
I on the other hand have not even looked at the context of the letters
therefore my comment was from the information that had been provided at the
time that I made the comment.

A dote in my studies has come up as a dowry. I imagine that an individual
who is providing the dote is in actuality providing a dotacion as apposed to
a donacion. A donacion being a donation. The dotacion specifies the perpouse
for which the sum is to be used, a dote (dowry).
Why else would so many families and young women want to participate in this
event other than the money that was going to be given to the winner or
winners of the sorteo (raffle). Let's face it, it was expensive to get
married and the father of the bride provides the dowry; for that matter it
is still expensive. I am just suggesting that their might be an opportunity
for these doncellas huerfanas (female orphans) to receive some assistance
with their marriage since they were fatherless and motherless. 16,000 R was
a lot of money especially if the establishment of a capellania was only
2,000 Reales. I might be wrong, I will have to do some more studying to come
to a conclusion that is more fact based and less supposition.

Rose, Eduardo, David,

The draft to select a winner at the Real de Asientos was conducted on 17 September 1739. The results were announced the following day and are in Images 35 & 36. The award was Rs 200 (two hundred reales) to be withdrawn from the orphan fund of Rs 16,000 left by Don Hilario González. Here is a transcription of that announcement with words spelled according to modern usage and most abbreviations expanded for easy reading:

Nota al margen: "Elección y Sorteo / María Michaela de Chávez / en 17 de Octubre de 1739 (transposed numbers, reads 1793) se le entregaron a la contenida en este auto los doscientos pesos de su dote, como consta de el recibo de su .... que se halla en el 3er. cuaderno a hoja 19 y para que conste pongo esta razón. [firma] Roxas.

"En el Real de los Asientos, en diez y siete de Septiembre de mil setecientos treinta y nuebe años el Sr. Don Miguel de la Vega, Cura Beneficiado de este dicho Real con asistencia del Sr. Dn. Manuel Colón de Larreategui Cura Beneficiado Juez Eclesiástico de la Villa de Aguas Calientes, y el Sr. Dn. Rodrigo de Guzmán y Prado Vicario de este dicho Real y otras varias personas que concurrieron al son de la campana, con que se convocó al sorteo, estando juntos y congregados en la Iglesia Parroquial de este dicho Real, se pusieron en dos urnas, o tibores, en una las cédulas de las personas que se echaron en suerte, contenidas en la nómina que recibió dicho Sr. Cura, y en la otra otras tantas en blanco, y en solo tres de ellas escrita la suerte; y haviendo movido las urnas o tibores, llamó a dos niños, de poco mas de ocho años, el uno sacaba una cédula de una urna y otro de otra, y reconociéndose una por una le cupo la suerte primera a Anna María de los Dolores de Estrada, a Michaela de los Dolores Chávez, y a Da. Antonia Gervacia Díaz de León, y segregadas éstas de las demás que habían salido, y quedaron dentro de las urnas o tibores, se volvieron a echar en una las cédulas de las tres referidas, y en otra [algunas] blancas y una con la suerte, y volviendo a moverlas la sacaron los mismos niños, una por una, y tocó y cupo la suerte a la dicha Michaela Dolores de Chávez, hija legítima de Manuel de Chávez, difunto, y de Da. Francisca de Sousa, por quien se declaró la elección, y en su conformidad están en la obligación de asistir el día de Ntra. Sra. de los Dolores, con vela y ... a la Misa y tres horas horas, que en esta dicha Iglesia Parroquial se celebran, y para que esté en ....da mandó el dicho Sr. Dn. Manuel Colón, .... de nombramiento en forma, para que en vista de él, y con certificación que a su pie ha de poner dicho Cura de haber cumplido dicha asistencia, luego que tome estado [concu]rra con haberlo tomado a dicho Sr. [para] que se le entreguen los doscientos pesos en [que] está dotada. Así lo proveyó, mandó y [firmó] con dicho Sr. Cura. De que doy fée [firma] Miguel de la Vega [firma] Dr. Don Manuel Colón de Larreategui"

The winner was supposed to collect the Rs. 200 prize money "luego que tome estado". Without further explanation, this could be interpreted as "estado matrimonial" i.e. after she got married, or "estado religioso" if she decided to enter a convent and become a nun. However, the winner Michaela de los Dolores Chávez got married and collected her Rs. 200 a month after the drawing (Image 17 of 232 shows a marginal note that reads "Casó y recibió su Dote"). So apparently Mr. Hilario González established the fund to help poor orphans with money for their marital expenses.

How much money was two hundred reales in those days? Well, in the late 1600s in Aguascalientes you could buy an african slave for 150-450 pesos depending on age, sex, fitness, etc. of the individual. That was quite a bit of money. You could also buy a piece of undeveloped land or a few heads of cattle. Enough for a young couple to start in life. Wealthy people received a much larger "dote" from their parents, i.e. 1500-2000 reales. An interesting window to the past, as this happened nearly 300 years ago.

Hi Rose,

I took a peek at these records and I think they might be referring to young
women that entered a religious order -

"para ser admitida al (Sorteo)..." means to be admitted to something
"las pobres guerfanas se sorten en la Parrochial deste Real, siendo una
pobre guerfana con las calidadades que dicha obra pia pide...." here it goes
on to say that poor orphan girls with the necessary qualities can sign up
(sorten) at the church.

These frases were repeated in almost all the records I looked at. These are
definitely not baptimal or marriage records - the only thing I can think of
is that these women were to become nuns.

I'll keep reading - maybe there are more clues

Comentario

Thanks Angelina....that's what I was thinking also....only because my research colleague just recently bought a book from a book seller in Mexico regarding the genealogy of nuns from Santa Maria de los Lagos.

The marriage informacions don't begin until about page 80 and there is a 1736 on this. If anyone is looking for Maria Antonia Carrillo de Sandi the daughter of Alexo Carrillo de Sandi and Margarita Murillo de Peralta, she is on image 90.

Thanks again

Hi Rose ,

Is it possible for you to scan the page and post it here ?

To Rose:

I became curious about your "discovery" in the 1739 Informacion matrimonial, Ags. If you read through images #50-75, inclusive, you will find genealogical info about a Calvillo family. Many descendants of Pedro Calvillo and Juan Marcelino Calvillo are named in the communications- grandchildren, brothers, etc. I think you were or are researching a Calvillo family. If I am mistaken just disregard the intrusion.
