Nuestros Ranchos Site

Lupe:

I think the best place to start is to try to find your grandfather's baptism certificate. It should list his grandparents and once you have that information you will know who Leonarda's parents were. With that information you will not only be one generation further back in your genealogy but you should be able to find any other children that they had and therefore find your great-grandmother's siblings.

Do you know your grandfather's date and place of birth? He was likely baptised within a couple weeks of his birth most likely in the closest parrish.

I just wanted to share an anecdote...

Today, one of my best friends from college... which was more than ten years ago for me tracked me down. She Googled me, which is probably a pretty common occurance these days but she immediately asked me what sort of genealogy research I was doing. It seems that when someone Googles me they get the podcast that I did for Joseph and his podcast series when I was in Mexico last year.

Joseph... thank you for bringing all of us together and thank you for your work. I think we can forgive your minor transgression.

P.S. Is there anyone who would like a photo-quality poster size print of a map of Zacatecas from the mid-1800s from Antonio Garcia Cuba's Atlas geografico, estadistico e historico de la Republica Mexicana?

I printed a few copies and have one left over...

His research does include Sonora. Sorry to leave that state off the list.

Unfortunately, I see no mention of Ortega, Tisnado, nor Lisarraga.

I agree with you, Arturo!

I remember my dad's friends mostly by their nicknames: "la tachuela" (this
man was short) "el blue" (this man had blue eyes) "el coyote" (this man did
NOT look like a coyote!) "la porcha" (this man had fish-looking eyes!) and
on and on.......I never thought of them by any other names! It seems to me
that mostly the men were given these nicknames.....I don't remember any for
women, except those derived from their actual names, such as "Chavela" for
Isabel, "Nena" for Irene, "Lola" for Dolores, etc.

All this brings back many wonderful memories! I only wish I had asked more
questions when I was younger and all these folks were still around! I can
imagine the stories they would have told me! :-) More than likely, they
could have given me a lot of clues to help me now with my genealogy
research!

Thanks for reminding me of "the good old days".......

Subject: [Nuestros Ranchos] Mexican Nicknames

In an earlier message, Patricia brought up the topic of nicknames, which in
Spanish are known as "apodos." She asked whether such nicknames were common
among Mexican people. My answer would be a resounding yes.

In fact, as a child growing up in Los Angeles, it was rare that my siblings,
cousins or I would refer to each other by our real names. We all had apodos
for each other. The nicknames tended to be physically descriptive, often
derogatory on the surface and always clever...

Among my sibling there was "la larga", "la chaparra", "el molanche", "el
prieto", "el guero", "la flaca" and "el gordo"

You see the dichotomies... I was "el prieto" and my younger brother, who is
much fairer than me was "el guero". We also had other names... some of
mine: "R2D2", "Tulipan", etc.

I had cousins who were "la titi" (who stuttered as a child and whose
father--also a stutterer--was known as "tartajas") and "la pollo" who was
pigeon-toed, etc.

I have a Jose de Jesus Hernandez and a Maria de Jesus Hernandez. In this case, am I missing both their mothers' last names?

Lavaniya

Lavaniya:

Those are definitely middle names... in fact they are more like first names if you consider that during a certain period in Mexico devout Catholic families named all of their male children Jose and all of their female children Maria and thus the only differentiation of their names was what came after that... i.e. Maria del Refugio was "Cuca", Maria de los Angeles was "Angelita" and Maria del Rosario was "Chayo" while Jose de Jesus was "Chuy", Jose Antonio was "Tono" and Jose de Guadalupe was "Lupe"...

Having read large sections of films from the 17th century from beginning to end, I have noticed that in that time period, when indigenous and Afro-Mexican individuals were mentioned, they tended not to have surnames. As such, the "second name" was so important in differentiating them that sometimes their children took it on as a surname since they did not have any other surname so I have run across a number of individuals identified as mulatos named Juan "Baptista" and their children were then given the surname "Baptista" or lots of individuals identified as Gaspar "de la Cruz" and their children ended up with the surname "Cruz".

However, in all of these cases there were no other surnames and the second name was very distinctive, such that it would not be common as a first name... i.e. I have never seen a Jose de Jesus whose children ended up with the surname Jesus.

I hope this answers your question.

Another important, related thing to remember is that in the Spanish speaking world, surname conventions were very different than what we see in the English speaking world today. It was very common for children to use EITHER the maternal or paternal surname, to combine them or sometimes for surnames to skip generations or sometimes they seem to have be inherited from an uncle or padrino...

I think there was a convention that surnames should differentiate people with otherwise similar names so two siblings named Maria one would take the paternal, the other the maternal, or surnames were inherited according to which family owned the land... a la Jackie O'Nassis keeping her Kennedy name. I think this is an issue that has yet to be examined academically though I know there is a lot of interest and lots of questions out there.

Adding to Joseph's comments about your mailing list preferences... everyone should note that if you unsubscribe from the group altogether you will not be able to access all of the restricted areas of the site. You do not have to receive emails from the lists in order to be a member. As Joseph mentioned, there is a "Digest" option whereby you receive only one email from the list per day with all of the postings that were made that day.

That means that you can choose to have one or all lists on "Digest" or if even this is too much for your mailbox, simply select "No Mail" and then you will not receive any postings but you will still be able to post to the lists and the webiste via email.

I personally have only the "Research" list emailing me as these are the messages that usually require feedback and more immediate attention. I check the other messages from the other lists on the site every couple of days.

The "No Mail" option is also useful when you go on vacation. Rather than having the list fill up your mailbox while you are not able to access it, you can simply turn off the mailings for a week (or two if you are lucky enough to take vacations that long) and then change it back to Digest or All Mail when you get back.

I have a Diego Delgadillo but he was born abt 1661 in Nochistlan, Zacatecas, died 25 Dec 1726, in Jalostotitlán, Jalisco. But I have him married abt 1690 to a Fabiana Ramirez De Mendoza.

I found one child for them named Petronila Delgadillo born about 1698 and married to Juan De Dios Gutierrez de Mendoza 29 January 1714 in Jalostotitlán, Jalisco, Mexico.

It appears that Enrique Legaspi Frias and Florentino (Tino) Corbera share
common ancestry, via Diego Delgadillo married to Petrona de Isla. This is
the same line that linked with Maria Cortes, another NuestrosRanchos member.
Tino's line continues from Diego and Petrona via their daughter Mariana

Francisco Flores de Medrano.

Hi Maria,

This is great! I'm beginning to believe that if one has Nochistlan
ancestry, then a common ancestor will be found within NuestrosRanchos.
We'll keep looking, need more to have a big fiesta.

I was actually replying to Manuel who resides in Denver and is doing
research in Canadas, Jalisco. But I'm glad you replied because I'm
interested in what you said about the 2 volume book on Marriage
Investigations of Guadalajara. Can you supply the exact title, author,
ISBN #, Publish, and info on that Genealogy group in Texas if it's
handy? You also mention the book by Hilton which I was familar with but
didn't know about this other book that is why I'm interested. thanks much,

Ernie,

"My sister is no shrinking violet. One time she was giving an outdoor
reading in Westwood... "

Ok! here's another connection, "Westwood." That's where many of Tino's
paternal relatives reside. They have been there for years, working in the
logging/saw mill business. Do you have family in Westwood?

No one that I have known named Pat would ever be considered a "shrinking
violet, thought the nickname Patsy may be misleading to some! ;-)

Thank you for the look-up, while it doesn't connect me to any of these Olmos It does allow me to see that the surname Olmos goes back to the sixteenth century in Toledo.

I was told by my cousin during his readings on Spain and Mexico that Spain did not allow passage from other countries to enter Mexico. If someone from another country wanted to sail to Mexico then they would have to enter a port in Spain and then sail from Spain to Mexico, there were no direct passages.... an old fashion lay over so to speak. I have not done any research to confirm his findings. Just passing along what I heard on the subject.

Well I want to Publicly thank Arturo for setting up that wonderful
Gedcom Database that we have. Thanks Arturo!

Well please do forward my email address to my Primo Dave also ask him if
he'd be interested in joining Nuestros Ranchos for his Los Altos genealogy

. . .that particular branch I have done very little work on. I really
need to get back to it as I know it is a very very rich line and surely
one that will get me back to Spain before the Jalisco side of the
family. . . .but alas my passion and enthusiasm seems to lie with my
Jalisco and Zacatecas roots. . .maybe because that's where I first
started my genealogy back in 2002.

No I don't have Higinia Rios who was that a sister to Tranquilina?

is Sevastian Maldonado the father of Encarnacion Maldonado or further back?

thanks Rose I appreciate you discovering that your cousin and I are
cousins. I guess that would make the 3 of us a circle of primos.

I appreciate your help with this line. if nothing else it reminds me
that I need to get back to Juarez and start doing some serious work there.

thanks again,

hi everyone! i live in orem, utah, and although i haven't personally done any family history research before, my dad and grandma have researched my side of the family extensively. so i'm new to all this and i've just started doing the genealogy for my husband's family who are mostly from MASCOTA,JALISCO since no one has even started. i've begun talking to family members, requesting film, marriage, birth and death records, etc, and am hoping to get down there at some point. i would love any other tips you more seasoned veterans of genealogy may have for me to help me along.

the surnames i'm looking for are jimenez, castillo, rodriguez, curiel, hernandez, pena, lopez and diaz. right now, since i've just started, i'm just looking in the late 1800's to early 1900's.
