Hi Sofia,

Funny you should ask about visiting the graveyards in Los Altos. Some years
back I asked my Dad to take me to the cemetery and he looked at me as if I
had taken leave of my senses. He asked me why I would want to go there and

Hi everyone. I posted my geneology file; it contains seven generations from ZACATECAS: mostly from Moyahua & Contitlan, but also some Jalisco (Altos) scattered about.

[You can find it if you click on my memberID, then on the "TRACK" tab.]

Irene (prima):
I looked at our lineages carefully and this is how you and I are related:

My 3rd great-grandfather, JOSE ANICETO REYNOSO, was the brother of your 2nd great-grandfather, JOSE GREGORIO REYNOSO. Their parents were TORIBIO REYNOSO and MARIA NORBERTA ROMERO.

Hello all,

where you can look?  I would love any more info you can find... Thanks!

Hola a todos,

Hola Miggy ,I looking at my family chart and noticed Ana
Munoz de La Barba(married to Francisco Padilla Davila) whose parents were Jose Munoz de La Barba and Catarina Gonzalez de Hermosillo.Catarina 's Parents Diego Alonso Ramirez de Hermosillo and Luisa Munoz de Nava. Point being that I believe that Ana Munoz de La Barba and Catalina de La Barba are sisters . Similarities Jose de La barba -Jose Munoz de LaBarba :

Hola Miggy,did you ever find out who the Parents of Jose Romo de Vivar who married Maria Jimenez de Hermosillo.I couldn't find any on a Juan Jose Romo de Vivar who married a Maria Gertrudis Gonzalez.I do have a little info on Baltazar Romo de Vivar and Catalina de la Barba(Ihave parents of her being a Jose de la Barba and a Catalina de Nava Munoz). I believe that her father's name should read Jose Munoz de la Barba and her Mother Munoz de Nava,but couldn't find anything under the IGI.

What is worth to navigate?
About two days ago I got curious about Daniel Mendez family tree and thought maybe he has it in rootsweb site, I tried some surnames and voila! found out we descend from Juan De Leon and María De Escapa, difference is his Juan has "Quezada" surname and the Coss Y Leon, mine is only De Leon, we already communicate about this.

Bill Figueroa and Daniel:

I am presently in Teocaltiche, waiting for the conference which will be taking place this coming Saturday. Dr. Mariano Gonzalez Leal has not arrived yet and is not expected until then. I am sorry I don´t have any information to report yet. I should be back home in California by the 9th of August.

For those members of the group that will be going to the meeting in
Valle de Guadalupe this weekend a new member of the group Carlos
Yturralde would like info about this meeting. Can you email him directly

There is more info about her ancestors in my gedcom in this site.
I also am expecting for Lic Mariano Gonzalez-Leal next edition of Retonos...to know more about this line that took the apellido compuesto Cos Y Leon or Coss Y Leon, nowdays this decendancy in U. S. A. turn it into Cossyleon.

Hello Sandra,
My family comes from Jalostotitlan, and I'm curious if your
Gomez are Gomez Hurtado de Mendoza or Gomez de Portugal. I've been
researching my paternal Gomez line, and it is Gomez Hurtado de Mendoza.

Yes you are right... Amoxochitl as well.

Greetings to all. I am learning quite a bit from these postings…general information such as the whys of dispensas and social classifications. Thanks to everyone.

My main area of research is Zacatecas, however, is there anyone doing research in San Luis Potosi who can offer suggestions. Names: Alvarado, Galvan, Rodriguez, Soto, Garcia, Ybarra, Lozano, Mireles. My trail ends with Calistro Alvarado born abt 1763, married to Geronima Mireles .

Wow... these seem to be an inventory of some sort, no?  If only we knew where these were.
It is very unusual to find information on Juchipila and Moyahua for 1700-1800... at least I've had a very hard time.

Hello all,

Hola a todos,

Hi Everyone,

I've been a member of Nuestros Ranchos for some months now & enjoy reading all the tips & tricks & new ideas I see here.  (Due to school responsibilities, I have no had much time for research.) But none of them have enabled me to find out more about my paternal gg grandparents, D. Simon & Da. Micaela Torres (de) Quinteros.  So now I'm asking for your help.  Simon was born in Mexico in 1852.  His father may be Mario/Mariano Quinteros-not sure on the mother who may or may not be a Rosales.  Simon married Micaela Torres who was born in Mexico in 1849.  She was the daughter of Rafael Torres-again not sure about the mother.  They were married in the chapel of Hacienda del Fuerte by a priest of  the parish in Sta. Elena  in Rio Grande, Zacatecas, Mexico on 24 June 1874.  They had atleast two sons, Simon who I know nothing about, & Rafael who was born in Rio Grande in 1878 & later became my g grandfather.  Rafael Quinteros md Domitila Mendez who I

Hello all, I am currently awaiting some film from the Family History Center regarding the marriage of a Joseph Manuel Dias to a Maria Anna Peres in Tepatitlan De Morelos, Jalisco, Mexico. I have been able to determine that they were both married on June 25, 1752 (Batch #M603726, Source Call #0218517) I'm hoping the actual film will show who the parents are.

Dear Patricia,

Ascención de León Family
Thanks for your help! You've helped alot with my
genealogy! One little branch can spark new flames!

Is this what you saw in Somos Primos? I believe they once had a link to the holdings of the Los Angeles Regional Family History Center, which include films for Moyahua de Estrada, but only dating from 1814 to 1877. The University of Texas has historical documents in some collections dating from 1692 to 1814, but I didn't see anything about Moyahua. You could ask them or search the Archivos de la Nacion.

Hola Primo Bill, I can't remember if you or Steve Hernandez stating that Andre Munoz de Nava (Married to Luisa Tiscareno) and Juan Munoz de Nava (married to Elvira Tiscareno ) brothers ,sons of Francisco Munoz de Nava and Maria Sanchez. Is this info connection right ?

Please see link above. Again my husband's roots intermesh with my roots. I have a question that is probably better asked on this website as the author Dr. Gabriel Sanchez deals with Spanish history. Does anyone know about him? I am interested in his work on Felix O'Neill as Felix O'Neill is my maternal great great grandfather's name. On the link above is Dieciocho 23 2000 117-113. Does this refer to a book? If you read down he has many other works relating to Spain and New Spain, so thought I would share. Does anyone know how to purchase his works or any libraries that have his works besides the one in Belfast?

I just found my Magdaleno Alvarado in the new Pilot Site! He was born in Moyahua. I'd been looking in the microfilms of Jerez for years.
