Hi Prima Susana (it's been a while):

So, I have a note that that information came from a tree by Salvador Cabral on Rootsweb, but that tree no longer exists there. However, he did place his tree here:
https://gw.geneanet.org/salvadorcabral?lang=es&p=andres&n=de+la+torre . there's a button to contact him to find out more. I think, if you're lucky, he constructed the connections through dispensas. Let me know what you find out!

Hi Prima Susana (it's been a long time since we talked!),

Just so you know, the older Colotlan records from the book were some unfilmed records from the local convent in Colotlan. I know those records are unavailable on Family Search; I believe my primo Arturo had a contact down there so he was able to see the records.

To answer what I can, Cienega in this case is Cienega de Santa Rosa, a ranch currently in the area of Totatiche. I believe the oldest Colotlan records (the Totatiche church isn't as old as that)would be the convent records, which Arturo transcribed. If the baptism isn't there, the next oldest church is Tlaltenango. However, I have been unsuccessful in looking for similar records-- I believe they either don't exist or have been lost or destroyed in some way.

I have a lot of dead ends in the area! I hope this helps.

Comentario

Hello Prima Rosalinda,

Thank you so much for the information. I'm on the same boat. I have several lines stuck in the area. From Colotlan/Totatiche they emigrated to Jerez years later. I found some records from Tenasco (jurisdiction of Totatiche o Teochaltiche don't remember which) in Aguascalientes. I guess the church was close and people sometimes would go to Aguascalientes. I will keep you posted if I find anything. Thank you again

If by Nicolas Mayorga Viana you mean the one married to Agustina Carlos, he's my ancestor. I haven't seen a source naming him as the son of Nicolas Mayorga cc Juana de Viana. Is there one? Otherwise I thought it might be possible it's the same guy with two marriages.

Anyway, for anyone collecting records for Luis and Catalina's family, I found their son Mateo in Villanueva. He says he was born in Jerez about 1702:

Comentario

Hello,

Thank you so much for Matheo's record. I didn't have that child. Great find!
Now regarding the Viana family, I suspect that Juana de Viana (married to Nicolas de Mayorga) could be sister of Catharina de Viana (wife of Luis Salinas). But I don't have proofs. Catharina was born in 1665, and Juana was having children around 1682.

If I find any more information, I will make sure to post it.

Thank you again

Land Grants in Nueva Galicia during the XVII century

Published by Bill Figueroa –
Foros
Genealogy Research

From the moment I started researching the history of Aguascalientes, I realized that most of the large haciendas owned by our ancestors were land grants (mercedes de tierras) awarded by the Spanish crown to the early settlers and those who participated in que conquest of Mexico. Land grants were intended to promote agriculture, cattle breeding and mining in the area.

Comentarios

Comentario

My 3rd great father Mariano Camino was given a land grant for a very large hacienda in Huanusco, Zacatecas: The name of the Hacienda was

Hacienda de Nuestra Senora de La Luz ("La Luz")

It was given to him in the year 1899

Comentario

Bill:

This is a very good question. In answering this question it is very important to understand Mexican colonial history and particularly the history of the political divisions within Mexico during Spanish colonial times.

As you probably know all of Aguascalientes, Zacatecas, Jalisco and Nayarit were part of the Viceroyalty of Nueva Galicia. The viceroyalty had its own audencia (court) and government based in Guadalajara. Other than the indigenous towns in the region of Colotlan and Bolanos which were directly ruled by the Viceroy of New Spain in Mexico City, the government in Guadalajara handled all land matters for Nueva Galicia.

I know that for the region around Jerez, Tlaltenango and the surrounding areas in Zacatecas, most of the land grants are found in Guadalajara in the Archivo Historico del Estado de Jalisco in their "Tierras y Aguas" collection. There are subsquent transactions (sales, mortgages, etc.) found in Zacatecas in the state archive in Guadalupe (as this was the closest financial center and likely place for recordation of notarial documents such as these).

I know this is somewhat vague but I am largely speaking from heresay, as I have never seen any of these documents, except in extracts nor have I been able to visit either of these archives.

Comentario

Hi Arturo!
Glad you are back!
What a great question that Bill has asked. I do not know the answer, perhaps my friend Martha in Aguascalientes can answer some of the questions. There has to be a book somewhere that can answer at least some of the questions, don't you think? I will let you know if I get an answer next week or rather this week.
Arturo, do you know what the "AGN Vinculos" refers to? Does this have anything to do with property? Land? What are vinculos? I looked it up....an entail..an estate entailed. Bill; have you tried the University of Texas Library, they have a lot of documents. maybe the Nettie Benson, Latin American collection.

Hi Mickey,

I think you're right. There has to be a book that lists some of the early
land grants. Searching through the first books of baptisms (1616-1670) and
marriages (1601-1662) from Aguascalientes, I discovered that by the early
1600s these haciendas were already in full swing. Some of the land grants
were handed by the Spanish Crown 75 years earlier, right after the conquest.
No, I have not checked the UT library in Austin. My son Gabriel graduated
from UT Austin and works at Dell Computers, so maybe one of these days will
go visit him. It's a four hour drive. I always wanted to see the Nettie
Benson, Latin American collection. Regarding your question about VINCULOS,
the word in English is LINKS.

Rgds, Bill

Comentario

Tierras y Aguas refers to land grants and land disputes. I know for certain that all of the early land grants from the Tlaltenango and Jerez area are in the Fondo de Tierras y Aguas of the Archivo Historico del Estado de Jalisco, which seems to be what these films refer to. The problem is that there are so many films, I wouldn't know where to start. I imagine it may be worth ordering the film with the index and then you might be able to get an idea of what other films you might have to look through.

If the Archivo General de la Nacion has land grant documents from Nueva Galicia they would likely be the same microfilms of the Jalisco archives that are available through the family history library. I don't know if such films are indexed in ARGENA. I believe that ARGENA only indexes the archive's own documents. I know that when I search for the grants that I know exist in the Jalisco archives in ARGENA, they do not show up.

Comentario

Thanks, Arturo. I will request the film "Indice general ordinal y alfabético 1584-1823" FHL INTL Film #269867 tomorrow and will report to Nuestros Ranchos what I find out (probably in 3-4 weeks).

Bill Figueroa

Comentario

Now we're talking. Thanks Bill for saying what I hope others in the
group will start saying, "Report to Nuestros Ranchos." Yes this group is
like a Familia. We need to have this attitude that what goes around will
come around. Bill's attitude is great in that he might not gain anything
from "reporting" back to the group what he finds. . .that is unless it
comes back to bless him from someone else's input. We need to at times
just do a random act of genealogical kindness for one another. Imagine
if each of the 150+ members each took it upon themselves to share or
teach something just once a year. Wow we'd have the perspectives of many
different people on a lot of different subjects related to our history.
You can't believe how getting the input from various ones might trigger
ideas and thoughts on how to advance our own specific research.

So now that I'm about ready to get off the Soap Box let me say that if
you haven't posted a message to the group that you should get involved.
go online or open a book or learn something specific about our area of
genealogical research: Jalisco, Zacatecas, and/or Aguascalientes and
teach us something. No one will look down on you if it is really really
basic or simple. . .you know why because it will probably be something
that someone in the group needs.

Thanks Bill for your participation, interest and willingness to teach
us. How can I overlook all the great teaching that Arturo and others in
the group have shared with us as well.

Let's make 2007 the year that even those that have just started their
genealogical search learn something new and share it with the group.

Bill et al:

I am at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City and I have just gone through the index film for the Tierras y Aguas Collection. (FHL Film 0269867). It is definitely what you were looking for. It has original land grants as well as subsequent recorded transfers of those grants. Unfortunately only one of the actual films (other than the index) is here (the rest are in the vaults) so I cannot get my hands on the films with my ancestors' land grants.

The index film is not very long so I am going to try to scan it so that we can perhaps extract out the names and locations of the grants. I think it would be an invaluable index to have available.

Comentario

Arturo et al,

Thanks for the update. I ordered the same film in January and have been waiting for a very loooooong time. Hopefully it will be here next week (Dallas, Texas). I guess I was right in thinking there weren't many copies around and they were having to make one from the master. It would be great if you could scan the index so we can see what's in it. Approximately how many entries are there? Maybe we can digitize it later. Anyway, I'll let you know when the film arrives so we can exchange notes...

Bill

Bill:

I too have been waiting a very long time for a film that I ordered. I think they are having problems with the new inventory and ordering system that they put in place over the new year.

The film is there on the shelf and available. It normally does not take them more than a couple of weeks to make a copy of the film when it is available in the library so I don't know what the hold up would be other than a mix up in the ordering system.

Anyhow, I have a scanner reserved for an hour and I will scan as many pages of the index as possible. There are thousands of entries since it also includes transfers of land.

I took a look at some of the other films in the collection and it appears that upon independence, the Mexican Imperial government began to copy over the land grant and transfer books of the viceroyalty based on municipality so when you see films with dates like 1584-1820 that is what it is... Unfortunately the description does not state what municipality it is. The original viceroyalty books are purely chronological so they span only a few years.

Just to give you an idea... select grants and trasfers from Book No. 10 (1700-1718)... I was looking for Tlaltenango grants thus the focus on that town:

69. Tlaltenango Juan de Miramontes
76. Tlaltenango Juan de Talamantes
81. Tlaltenango Andres Martin y Antonio Gutierrez del Palacio
89. Tlaltenango
90. Tlaltenango
105. Colotlan Naturales
114. Totatiche Pedro Diaz de Santa Cruz
115. Tlaltenango - Milpillas Diego Banuelos
119. Tlaltenango Vicente de Covarrubias
126. Tlatenango Pedro Avila Caldera
170. Jerez Maria Ortiz de San Pedro
187. Jerez Nicolas Carrillo

This sounds like a really useful film! I felt a rush of excitement

Joseph,

That's a good question. I doubt that any of these microfilms include land
grants. It seems like the documents listed under "Tierras y Propiedades,
1691-1898" are deeds of land owned by the Catholic Church. "Tierras y
Aguas, 1584-1866" seems to indicate land and water rights for the public
lands and bodies of water such as lakes, rivers, canals, etc. Maybe other
members of the group have checked these records before...?

Thanks for your prompt answer and very useful information. I suppose that the official documents pertaining to land grants in Nueva Galicia are at the "Archivo Historico del Estado de Jalisco" in their "Tierras y Aguas" section. I will contact my relatives in Guadalajara to see if they can help. Incidentally, I have spent many hours checking subsequent transactions at the Archivo Histórico de Aguascalientes, but the "Protocolos Notariales" start around 1650 and I could not find any land grants. Hopefully the Dallas Public Library will have some books that can shed some light on this subject. The DPL is one of the top genealogy libraries in the nation. Thanks again.

Comentario

Hi,

I have read this article before and it has great information but how would we ever know if our ancestors were Jewish since they hid and changed their ways so people would not know. My mother in-laws co-worker is from somewhere in Los Altos but lives here in Arizona now. Her entire family that is still lives there are Jewish and still practice the religion.

Esther

I just asked my mother in-law and she said the last name is Ramirez. I will try to find out both last names and what ranch or town they live in. I guess her father would tell her never tell anyone years ago that they were Jewish because they were scared.

Comentario

Hi,

My mother in-law got the name of the ranch or town where her coworker lived. I thought it was in Los Altos but it’s not but it is in Jalisco. The town is call San Martin de Bolaños and her fathers last name is Arellano and mother’s Ramirez.

Esther

Comentario

Dear Esther,

It would be interesting to trace their ancestry. Could you get their contact information so that I may contact them and ask them questions about their ancestry? My Ramirez ancestry from Jalisco is the same Jewish conversó Ramirez family of sor Juana Ynes De la Cruz.

Comentario

Hi Rick,

I will ask my mother in-law to ask her and she if she would be interested in researching her ancestry.

What town or city is your Ramirez ancestry from. My grandmothers last name was Ramirez and family came from El Capulin el Chaves.

I didn't know Juana Ines was Jewish. A year ago I watched her story on Netflix "Juana Ines" and loved the series.

Esther

Comentario

Juana Ynes was not Jewish. She did descend from new Christians. Her ancestral Ramirez branch of the family were Jews that converted to Catholicism. Some of her family suffered much during the inquisition because of their Jewish roots She also had Italian ancestry.
Rick A. Ricci

Comentario

Hola Rick,

In following up again on the notion of French ancestry in Los Altos (which my own family members have insisted on), I often wonder how far back in our lineages a French line exists. Could it be that the oral tradition of alteños having French blood lies in the middle ages in Spain, in the region near Salamanca?

Last summer I spent some time in Salamanca at the Universidad de Salamanca and visited the comarca of la Sierra de Francia. I wonder if any of our ancestors in Los Altos came from that area? The Sierra de Francia was repopulated by French settlers in the 12th and 13th centuries upon invitation from rey Alfonso IX. DNA, apparently, also indicates that the present-day inhabitants of the town of La Alberca in La Sierra de Francia have French ancestry, as well as some morisco, and Jewish.

An interesting article I came across states "la repoblación de la zona, desarrollada entre los siglos XII y XIII, contó con numerosos francos gracias al papel desempeñado por Raimundo de Borgoña, noble francés casado con la que terminaría siendo la reina Urraca I de León, la primogénita de Alfonso VI. La sangre local tiene también mucho de árabe y de morisco. No en vano el nombre de esta localidad parece proceder de ‘Al Bereka’, que significa estanque en el idioma de Averroes. Lo mismo cabe decir de la presencia hebrea. De hecho, dicen los estudiosos que la profusión de mensajes religiosos en los dinteles graníticos respondía a la voluntad de muchos judíos conversos de subrayar su fe cristiana en un tiempo en que lo menos grave que podía sucederle al falso converso era la expulsión." Fuente 7/2/19: https://www.mascastillayleon.com/castilla-y-leon/rutas/rutasculturales/…

Another online article states " Alfonso IX de León organiza una nueva repoblación de la Sierra de Francia para afianzar la zona que en esos momentos era fronteriza con Castilla y línea de penetración de los musulmanes. La repoblación implicaba también la fortificación de la zona. Estas repoblaciones trascurrieron desde 1188 a 1230 Para realizar la repoblación llegaron franceses como atestigua la perduración de apellidos de este origen como Bernal o Gascón, pero también tuvieron que llegar pobladores llegados del norte de la península." Fuente 7/2/19: https://salamancartvaldia.es/not/13572/historia-de-la-sierra-de-francia…

If I am not mistaken, Mary Lou Montagna had information that Urraca was one of our direct ancestors. I am wondering if anyone has research as far back as the 12th century to indicate that ancestors of our alteños lines came from the present-day comarca of la Sierra de Francia, near Salamanca?

Best regards,
Kassandra

Dear Kassandra,

You hit a Bullseye! Much of my French ancestry does indeed come from the 12th, 13th, and 14th centuries that immigrated to what we would now call northern parts of Spain and Portugal. I have researched many ancestral lines that go from Los Altos De Jalisco to France in these centuries. Just to name a few: Rodriguez De Hijar, Ledesma (from De La Torre Ledesma), Peralta (from Coria Peralta), Martin del Campo, Hernandez Arellano ( through Sanchez De Calatayud), and Reynoso. Specifically, the Ledesma from the De la Torre Ledesma ancestral line did come from Salamanca like you mentioned. To a lesser extent there were also “Genoese” immigrants.

Thank you for sharing and adding more evidence to my research. These French immigrants were free individuals. Some of these French were Jewish and from the “house of David.”

Many of the “white “ Christians in the Muslim southern part of the Iberian Peninsula had been forced into slavery by the Muslims. So in southern Spain during the 12th and 13th centuries, if you were a slave you were most likely “white.” The battle of the Christians to take back the Iberian peninsula from the Muslims not only freed the area to be run by “Christians”, but also freed Christians from slavery once their Muslim “Masters” were forced to leave. Most Jews were not forced into slavery by the Muslims and they were the “middle class”. The Jews were afforded many privileges that the “Christians” did not have under the Almohad Muslim rulers. These privileges allowed Jews to study and work with few limitations. Many Christians resented the Jews because of their freedoms under the Muslims and harbored much resentment towards them. The Jews were caught at least twice on the wrong side of civil wars in Spain which contributed to resentment towards them. Many Jews preferred that the Muslims rule so that they could keep enjoying their freedoms. Later on when King Pedro “el cruel” of Castilla was ruler, most of the Jews again sided with the loser when they supported King Pedro in the civil war with his half-brother Enrique of Trastamara.

The Cavalleria Jewish family enjoyed many privileges under Christian rule because they often chose to fight along the Christians against the Muslims. This family enjoyed many privileges into the 15th century, and often intermarried with christian nobility. The Cavalleria family was often a buffer between the Christians and the Jewish as they tried to keep peace between the two groups. Both a Pope and a king Issued proclamations saying that because the Cavalleria family descended from the House of David they were family members of “mother Mary” so they be considered “christianos viejos”.

Thanks again,

Alonso de Arevalo and Beatriz de Ayala

Published by gusmeza –

I’ve done some research of Alonso de Arevalo and Beatriz Lopez de Ayala who settled for a time in Colima. I've read several books referring to this couple.

Comentarios

Comentario

I believe the confusion arises out of Romero de Solis, author of Andariegos y Pobladores, mistanking Pedro de Arevalo, son of Alonso de Arevalo and Beatriz Lopez de Ayala, with Pedro Ortiz de San Pedro, son of Juan (Ortiz) de San Pedro and Catalina Lopez (de Ayala). There is no reason why a son of the first couple would bear the last name "Ortiz de San Pedro.

The reason he makes the mistake is that Pedro Ortiz de San Pedro (whom Romero de Solis sometimes refers to as "Pedro de Arevalo") had a brother named Gonzalo Lopez de Ayala (this Gonzalo takes the name from his mother, Catalina Lopez "de Ayala"), whom Romero de Solís refers to as "el Mozo", and Beatriz Lopez de Ayala had a brother with the same name (whom Romero de Solis refers to as "the elder"). In certain document, Gonzalo Lopez de Ayala (el Mozo) refers to Pero Ortiz as his brother: "según declaración de Marcos de Cárdenas, moreno libre, mayor de 40 años de edad, hallándose en casa de Diego de Monroy, hará 3 meses, al tiempo que falleció Pedro de Bobadilla, Pero Ortiz, hermano de Gonzalo López, le pidió al mercader Diego de Monroy, de su tienda, ciertas varas de bayeta y cierto tafetán, y otras cosas, que dijo eran para Gonzalo López, …".

Gonzalo Lopez de Ayala, el Mozo, is the one who married Juliana de Bobadilla, and Jeronimo Ortiz was another brother.

I believe that Catalina Lopez (de Ayala) and Beatriz Lopez were sisters (not only because they share the family name, but because Beatriz carried on business transactions with Juan de San Pedro, who lived in Zacatecas, and, at one point, knowing that Juan had financial troubles, she even gave him extra time to pay for what he owed her). Diego Lopez de Ayala, married in 1561 to Juana Fernandez, might have been their brother (and not Pedro de Arevalo and Beatriz's son, as Romero de Solis states, because the couple married in 1537, first child was born in 1538, the second in 1540. No man would be permitted to marry with less than 16 years).

Catalina Lopez married Juan de San Pedro and had 3 sons, most likely born in Zacatecas: 1. Pero (Pedro) Ortiz de San Pedro, married to Maria de Esquivel and lived in Colima, Jerez and most probably in Tlaltenango; 2. Gonzalo Lopez de Ayala (whom she names after her deceased brother), married to Juliana de Bobadilla and lives in Colima and Tlaltenango (where the Bobadillas were from); and 3. Jeronimo Ortiz.

Beatriz Lopez first married Alonso de Arevalo and had 2 sons: Gonzalo Lopez de Ayala and Pedro de Arevalo. Gonzalo died before her mother. Pedro is always referred to by Beatriz as "Pedro de Arevalo", not as "Pero Ortiz de San Pedro" (“... Iten digo que si pareciere yo deber alguna cosa a Alonso Miguel, que averiguado e liquidado lo que fuere, se lo pague Pedro de Arévalo, mi hijo. Iten … - “para hacer y cumplir mi ánima, digo que, si mi hijo Pedro de Arévalo lo quisiere tomar a su cargo, que no se haga almoneda dellos, ni justicia ni otra persona alguna se entremeta en ello, porque ésta es mi voluntad y ansí se lo encomiendo y le ruego que lo haga conmigo como Dios lo haga con él”." - "El 10 de febrero, Pedro de Arévalo, hijo y albacea de doña Beatriz López de Ayala, y el muy reverendo …"). It seems neither of them married or had children.

I do not know anything about Maria de Esquivel, our Pedro's wife.

Hector

Hola Agustine:

La historia de detallada de la vida de Beatriz la lei en un archivo PDF que puedes ver en línea llamado "Andariegos y Pobladores de Nueva España y Nueva Galicia" de Miguel Romero de Solís.

También hay una sección dedicada a su hijo Pedro de Arévalo quien fue su sucesor.
Los otros dos hijos de Beatriz: Gonzalo y Diego utilizaban el apellido López de Ayala en lugar del apellido paterno Arévalo.

Gonzalo murió antes que su madre.

Hola Agustín:

Al parecer Juan Ortiz de San Pedro era minero en Zacatecas, pues aparece como peticionario en una carta que dirigieron los mineros a las autoridades y que está registrada en el Portal pares en la audiencia de Guadalajara, bajo la clave GUADALAJARA,51,L.1,N.139

También hay un privilegio de juros, que al parecer era un "prestamo forzoso" mediante el cual el rey tomaba el oro que iba registrado a España.

I did not find María Lorenza Alvarez using the surname Arreguin. I did find a record where she has the surname “Alcaras” instead of “Alvarez” .

The marriage record states that they are related in the third degree, so that means that they are second cousins. A grandparent of the bride is a sibling of grandparent of groom.

I think that you have followed the wrong Manuel Alvarez and Guadalupe Contreras. There are two couples with these names in Tamazula, Jalisco.. The Alcaras is also used in the family that you should be following. The Arreguin surname is used by the family of the second couple also named Manuel Alvarez and Maria Guadalupe Contreras.

María Lorenza Alvarez(Alcaraz) 16 when married on 7/May/ /1849

The marriage record states that they are second cousins, so a grandparent of the bride is a sibling of grandparent of groom.

Hi cherna,

My husbands last name is Medrano as well and I started working on his family tree and thought he would have originated from Spanish lineage. I Was able to trace GGG grandfather to 1766 in San Luis Potosí but he is identified as a Lobo ( Indian with African). I am not able to find anymore records. Do you think they would get their last names from the people they worked for or if they were slaves from their owners? My father in-law did his dna test and shows he has some Spanish but I’m thinking that is from his grandmothers side, her last name was Melchor from Nuevo León.

Esther

Comentario

Hi Esther,

Funny, I was just thinking about this over the weekend. I dug a little more into this side of my family.

My GGreat-Grandfather was Sixto Medrano born ~1869.
My GGGreat-Grandfather was Jose Salome Medrano born ~1847, married to Isabel Cuevas.
My GGGGreat-Grandfather was Jose Maria Medrano born ~1820, married to Micaela Reyes (Relles)
My GGGGGreat-Grandfather was Felipe Medrano, married to Agustina Romero.

The marriage record for Felipe & Agustina identifies them both simply as "Indio/a". I cannot find a baptism record for Felipe. However, their marriage record list their parents. J Manuel Medrano y Felipa Neri. Antonio Romero y Encarnacion Zalasar. The record states Felipe being from "Puesto de la Transquila". It seems since the 1800's they stayed in Los Altos.

I seem to have hit a wall here, since I cannot find a baptism record for Felipe Medrano, nor much on his father, Jose Manuel Medrano.

I have read in a few threads here that it was customary for Indios to take the surname of patrones of their hacienda, rancho, pueblo, etc. when converting to Catholicism.

Dear Manny:
I have a question of the padrone of Taramequaro. How many pages does it consist? I found a Joseph Bexar, but then looked five pages over and it seems there are other towns, I saw the word Barrio, but not sure if it was the last name or that Taramequaro had ended. I am doing my husband's family tree now on ancestry. Was curious how long the family had been at Taramequaro, but it looks like the 1680s is not out of the question. Thank you for putting these up, it would have taken me ages to find it on familysearch.

Yes, it is the census of a specific town or rancho....it tells you who
lived in one household, the names of the people, their ages, where they
were born, if they could read or write and what their occupation was.

Hi Simona,

Yes, a “padrón” is a church census, and it names all of the residents by household. In many, they list only those who have confessed (age 5+) and had communion (8+). It names entire family groups, w/ servants & slaves, living in that house, on that street, during that year. You can use it to locate your people, and to establish family groups and relationships, and even approximate birth, marriage and death years.

For instance, I descend from Ana de Colonia, who married Juan Machuca Villareal, 26 Apr 1688, in Patzcuaro, Mich. Ana was daughter of Juan de Colonia aka Francisco de Colonia and Luisa de Quintanilla aka Luisa Rangel Quintana, who married 16 Oct 1665, in Chilchota, Mich. Besides Ana’s 03 Feb 1669 baptism record, I could find no trace of this couple, they appear to drop off the map.

Using the 1681-82-83-84 padrones for Patzcuaro, I was able to locate Ana de Colonia aka Ana Colon aka Ana Rangel, living with different aunts - two whom I had already established as sisters of Juan de Colonia: Leonor de Velasco and Maria Colonia, who were children of Francisco de Colonia and Brigida Floriana de Velasco. Another person who appears in the padrones is Nicolasa de Velasco, who was likely another daughter of Francisco Colonia and Floriana de Velasco. I’ve known nothing about her, because she never married.

Ana’s mother appears nowhere in the padrones, so she likely died before 1681. Juan de Colonia appears in the 1681 padron, listed as Francisco Colonia, living with his sisters, Nicolasa de Velasco and Maria Colonia. Ana was living with their sister, Leonor de Velasco and her husband, Antonio de Pisa. Juan de Colonia is probably the same Juan Colon, who lived down the street in 1683 & 1684, with Beatriz and Ana de Segura. If he is, then I know he died on 05 Dec 1706, Patzcuaro. He remained single.

By looking at street names, as well as neighboring households, each year, I was able to determine whether or not my ancestors moved, or whether they stayed in the same house: by following the movements of the aforementioned family group, I was able to establish that they gravitated around one house in particular (the house between Francico Segura’s and Luis de Soria’s), which would have to be the ancestral home, the one left by their mother, Floriana de Velasco, who left a testamento. Ana de Colonia lived in that house during 3 of the 4 years. Head of household changed each year, depending on the oldest resident son-in-law, and finally, with the oldest surviving daughter, Nicolasa de Velasco.

My favorite TV show is PBS Sherlock (and TVE Ministerio del Tiempo!). Can you tell?

I hope that helps!

If they exist for your town, you should be able to find them in Family Search or in Ancestry I'm told. I don't have Ancestry, but if you do, you might give it a look.

Ha! There already is one: “Partidos y Padrones del Obispado de Michoacan,” by Alberto Carrillo Cazares. There’s a chart of padrones that I used to locate these.

And I have to give thanks to the LDS, for upgrading their document viewer: the “tile view” absolutely ROCKS, being able to view several documents on a roll, so one’s able to see when expedientes end, as well as locate the padrones! Time saver!

Welcome to the group Mayra!

You'll find lots of helpful people on here, we are all passionate about genealogy. We are related thru your Méndez de Torres line--you'll find a handful of people also sharing this link on here.

Your ancestor Francisco Xavier Méndez de Torres y Ramírez de Esqueda, married to Josefa de Verduzco y Cuevas on 25 Jun 1725 in Tlazazalca, was a first cousin to my 5th great grandmother, Juana Teresa Méndez de Torres y Méndez de Torres, Salceda-Andrade, baptized on 28 Feb 1724 in Zamora.

Francisco & Josefa's marriage record: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939L-9G98-J?i=86&wc=3N1M-MN…

Because many families in Tamazula originated in Michoacán and to respect the intention of this group studying Nueva Galicia, please email me at dmendezcamino@gmail.com. I 'd love to discuss and share anything I have that may help you!

Welcome!
I am currently working on my cousins lines in Techaluta, but she has relatives in Tapalpa so I took a look at your people:2. Rosalio Beltran Cardenas, son of Jose Beltran and Paula Cardenas. I looked up the IM (Informacion Matrimonal) and was able to take your line a few generations back. I checked each child who had a birthdate and found Jose Beltran is Jose Ramon Beltran and Paula is Paula. HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL

Dear Mayra
The “tribe native to that region of Jalisco” ancestry that your family spoke about may come from Maria Guillerma Pinto. She is often found in records without her surname and “Coyota” written after Guillermina. Many genealogists mistakenly think Coyota is her surname.

Rick A Ricci

Comentario

Thank you! I did notice that in one of the records but I wasnt sure what it meant. Was that a term they used for Natives? I also found her as Gullermina Nila on a different document, but I later found that to be her mother's last name.

According to a marriage dispensation .Angela Perez Maldonado is Diego’s granddaughter. However, another dispensation has her as his daughter, instead of granddaughter. I need to do more research to find out which of these two dispensations has the correct information.

Through your Angela Perez Maldonado ancestry you have at least five lines that descend from Anusim, Catholics converted from Judaism. These lines go back many centuries as they connect to the house of David. Some of her ancestral lines also go back to Spanish royalty.

Hello Gaby,

There is much information in my book that would take you over forty years to research if you took as long as I did to collect my information. It is actually closer to fifty years since I have been researching genealogy since I was a teenager.

To get some more information you can look up my posts on some of your ancestors.

1. “probable ancestors of Toribio Hernández Arellano”. The Golluf family.

2. Alonso Estrada and his family tree

3. The “ Cavalleria “ family

4. The Ramirez Cantillana family from SanLucar De Barameda Andalucía. This is the same Ramirez family of Sor Juana Ines De la Cruz. Her father was related to her mother through their Ramirez ancestry.

5. Pedro 1 “el cruel” Rey De Castilla y Leon and Ysabel de Sandoval

Wow, amazing, I will patiently wait for your book and will definitely read your other posts, thank you so much again, I feel like I'm late to he party but I am actually super thankful this forum exists....

Do you know who her parents were?

I was able to find her death record and two more of her children but nothing else so far.... Also, I haven't been able to link Bernabe, her husband, to the other Martin del Campo families in Jalisco, any info is greatly appreciated

Hi,

I was going through the padrones for 1831 for Arandas and I just saw those two ranches.

https://en.mexico.pueblosamerica.com/jalisco/arandas/

Here is a list of ranches and town in Arandas, I see Piedras Blancas as well as two El Pocito de Abajo and El Pocito de Arriba.

Use this map and you will see both ranches el pocito de arriba and piedras blancas.

Comentario

Hi Esther,

Thank you very much! I think the spelling in the record was throwing me off.

The map you linked is a tremendous help. Thank you for this. My guess is that it is "El Pocito de Arriba" - due to a few facts. It is very close to Piedras Blancas. I have found other siblings to my GGrandfather born in "El Zapote", which is also nearby. When I asked my Grandfather where his father was born, he said he wasn't 100% sure, but he thinks near "La Rana" or "Hacienda de Guadalupe".

Thank you again!

Comentario

My great-grandfather Antonio Hernández Morales was born in 1893 in "El Pocito", which in the previous two centuries had been called in its entirety "El Pocito de la Virgen". I have never heard of El Pocito de Abajo nor El Pocito de Arriba...NEVER!!! These must be very recent creations, not historical.

El Pocito de la Virgen refers to the Capilla del Pocito, one of the 6 churches located en el Cerro del Tepeyac, en la villa de Guadalupe, the site of the Insigne y Nacional Basílica de Santa María de Guadalupe del Tepeyac, en la Ciudad de México, Distrito Federal.

My great-great-grandfather Juan Hernández Alvarez born in 1862 was also born in El Pocito de la Virgen, as were several other close relatives. Siblings of my Hernández, Morales, and Vital ancestors were also born in El Pocito de la Virgen. My great-great-great-grandfather Teodoro Morales died in El Pocito de la Virgen in 1898. His wife, my great-great-great-grandmother Juana Vital Gutiérrez, died in 1913 in the exact same place, El Pocito, but by 1913 it was already renamed Santa Maria de la Paz / del Valle.

The name of Rancho (o Puesto) de "El Pocito de la Virgen" was shortened to El Pocito, and is located between the plazas de Arandas y San Miguel el Alto. Ahora ya no se llama El Pocito. In the early 20th century it was renamed Santa Maria de la Paz, which was then changed to Santa Maria del Valle. It is located north of the Crucero de Arandas (on the right), before you arrive in San Miguel el Alto.

Comentario

Francisco,

I'm pleasantly surprised you showed up in my thread. The amount of information and knowledge you have is staggering. Thank you for sharing.

Is it possible you and I are related? My great-grandfather Sabino Hernández Gonzales was born in 1863 in Piedras Blancas, which is very close to Santa Maria del Valle. His Father, was Mateo Hernandez "Originario y vecino del Saucito".

Comentario

Everyone,

I've come to realize that this is NOT my family line. One bit of information I got from my Grandfather - regarding my Great-Grandfather's age turned out to be false. I found [correct] records for my Great-Grandfather and his family, with facts and names that out-weigh the previous family line I was researching.

Although, research can be a bit frustrating, I learned my lesson regarding the importance of fact checking.

Saludos primos,

Carlos

Colonial Somberette and Jacqez family

Published by ayalarobles –

Genealogy Research

Hi,

I have traced my La Riva line to Tomas Jaquez who married in San Juan Del RIo, Durango in 1689. The marriage record stated he was from Somberette, Zacatecas. I guess he was he was born about 1660. I can't find church records for that period in Somberette. I suspect the family was French. I am looking for any information for the early colonial Somberette. I would like the names of several books just on Somberette. I know about the mines but outside of the Toolosa and Ybarra familes I do not know about other families living there. I know by looking at some immigration records, some Jacquez came from Flanders. If anyone can give me any clues or suggestions I would most appreciate it.

Comentario

Esther:

I am not sure when the secular parish was founded in Sombrerete, but initially (in 1567) the church in the town was actually a Franciscan convent. I know from trying to research the Franciscan convent records from Colotlan, Jalisco that they can often be dispersed... some records may have been left behind with the newly founded secular parish (and thus filmed with those records) while others may have been sent back to the Franciscan Order archives (probably in Santo Domingo in the City of Zacatecas--which probably means they are lost). However, there are some surviving Franciscan records in a number of dedicated Franciscan Order archives in Mexico.

Comentario

Perhaps the reason you can't find the records is because the town is
spelled Sombrerete. Marge:)

Pardon my spelling and mistyping but the Mormon site is still not showing anything on San Juan Bautista (Sombrerete, Zacatecas) before 1678. I need birth and marriages records before 1670. I have run out of records.
I know it is very difficult in most areas of Mexico to research anything earlier that 1700s. I am hoping to benefit from the experiences of more experienced researchers,

To make a note I remember learning this lesson! Once you reach the "end: of your years for a parish make sure to look around the surrounding parishes or even the huge ones! I have ancestors living in Fresnillo, Zac baptizing their children in Guadalajara! Quite far! 3-hour drive. People traveled a lot back in those days. -Hope this helps. -Daniel Mendez del Camino

I think traveling to major cities like from Fresnillo to Guadalajara
(about 175 miles) was a major adventure. At 20 miles per day (guess at
mileage per day) would mean about 1 week going, staying for a while and
coming back a week. Sure put a hole in a month. I would guess they
gathered ALL the children that needed to be baptized to do them all at
once.

This is only speculation... but I don't think that people traveled to distant cities to have their children baptized. More than likely, it was the priest who travelled to the smaller towns. So even though the priest was from Guadalajara and he recorded the baptizism in Guadalajara, he probably performed the baptizism locally.

Just my two centavos...

Angie,

I believe you are right.? with the Comfirmations they waited for the Bishop (or could it of been the cardinal?) to come to town, thats why when you look at comfirmations they are of all ages and the same date.....

It was always the bishops who confirmed people in their pastoral visits to
all the parishes of their diócesis. There were no cardinals in Mexico until
the 20th century.

Hello all!

Joseph, you are right. My grandfather, Pedro Gomez Casillas born in 1893 in Juchipila, Zac, was an "arriero". He took merchandise and people between Juchipila and Aguascalientes, Guadalajara, etc by donkey or mule. My dad says it took them 3 days from Juchi to Guadalajara and close to a week to Zacatecas. Interesting how lazy we have gotten :-)

Another thing to remember about any record is that sometimes the godparents alone took the children to baptize... I've come across many mistakes due to that (wrong mom's last name is a major one for me, as well as some info on grandparents).

Saludos from San Antonio!!

Jaquez is a patronymic of Jacome or Jaime, it means the son of Jacome (an
old Spanish version of James) or of Jaime.

Asunto: Re: [Nuestros Ranchos] Colonial Somberette and Jacqez family

Hi,

I have traced my La Riva line to Tomas Jaquez who married in San Juan Del
RIo, Durango in 1689. The marriage record stated he was from Somberette,
Zacatecas. I guess he was he was born about 1660. I can't find church
records for that period in Somberette. I suspect the family was French. I
am looking for any information for the early colonial Somberette. I would
like the names of several books just on Somberette. I know about the mines
but outside of the Toolosa and Ybarra familes I do not know about other
families living there. I know by looking at some immigration records, some
Jacquez came from Flanders. If anyone can give me any clues or suggestions I
would most appreciate it.

Thanks,

AyalaRobles

The URL is http://w2.siap.sagarpa.gob.mx/mapoteca
I was looking for ranchos not far from where you are looking, specifically Sauz de los Marquez. The search is a bit frustrating. I used specific keywords to try to find things. It really depends on what the map title words are. The map may contain a lot more than just what the title words include.
The bottom line is that I spent a lot of time and did not succeed on the ranchos. But I did find some very interesting maps of the wider area.

? ? Within the last 2-3 months, someone posted a message which included the address of a Mexican governmental website that has online historical maps of various parts of Mexico.? I can't find that site, and, as I recall, when I did visit it, I couldn't find the maps I was looking for.? Specifically, I'm looking for the hacienda/rancho maps of northeast Jalisco near Encarnacion de Diaz, the ranchos southwest of Jerez, Zacatecas, and the rural areas around Durango, Durango.

Can someone please direct me in the right direction?
Thanks.Brenda

Unfortunately, we haven't indexed that many films from the latter part of the 1800s. We're focusing on the colonial era 1500s-1820s for now. Should that change and we find the dispensa you are looking for, I'll let you know.

Yes, taking a look at your family tree, we do share ancestors. To begin with, Valencia. You also share some Munguia ancestors with my wife who's paternal roots are in Tamazula.

If you'd like some more information about your Valencia roots, please let me know at:

daniel_serna@hotmail.com

I would be more than happy to share some Valencia-related dispensas and such.

Best,

Daniel Serna Valencia

Hello Erlinda,

The link you provided contains the core of the documents that were written up by the "Antiguo Obispado de Michoacan". They not only contain matrimonial dispensations but all sorts of other documents. As you've found out, there's no real order (beyond chronological) as to what the films contain nor can you find the towns you are looking for in each film. I, along with a lot of wonderful volunteers, have been indexing some of the films. You can see the indexes on valldoliddispensas.com.

I have done quite a bit of research and have built an ancestry.com tree that contains dispensas related to my ancestors that were from the same towns that you have called out. If you don't mind sharing what couple you are looking the dispensa for, I might have the information already that I can share with you.

Let me know,

Daniel Serna Valencia

Thank you. My maternal line is from Chilchota, Tangancicuaro and Angamacutiro and Zamora.
The line I am trying to take back is Fernandez because his wife Ygnacia Jesus Barbosa comes from hija natural. This is the sister of my gr-gr grandmother Martina Socorro Fernandez.

marriage information recorded abt Sept? 1879 in Tangancicuaro, Michoacan
Ramon Angeles from Tangancicuaro age 28
widower of Maria Vicenta Garcia buried in Tangancicuaro 8 years
with Maria Melquiades Fernandez from Tangancicuaro age 17
parents: Jose Maria Fernandez deceased and Maria Ygnacia Barbosa
marriage dispensation 2nd degree de la linea colateral
granted 8 Nov 1879 in Zamora
source: 640956 film
page 387 Familysearch online
.
I did go through the 1879 dispensation on the Morelia dispensations and did not find any records from the areas I'm searching so would appreciate any link that would help me.

My maternal Gutierrez/Alvarez del Castillo line is from Chilchota and eventually moved to Tamazula, Jalisco but I did not find any records that called for a dispensation.

Thank you! I did NOT read the films you shared.. I see Chilchota listed and Gertrudis Alvarez del Castillo is my family and my Mendez ancestors from Zamora/Valladolid may be included also..

I read from the wrong list for marriages
Thank you so much for sharing
by the way, I think we share family..this is the link to my Mother Dolores Gutierrez' family from Chilchota, Michoacan

Hi Linda,

Thanks for sharing this! Ramón and Melaquíades had a daughter named María Lucía Altagracia baptized on 7 March 1890, born on 3 Mar 1890 in Zamora. Her madrina was María del Carmen Fernández, a possible aunt of ours--I would figure, I don't have her in my archives. If they were dispensed at segundo grado de consanguinidad, they would, in effect be, first cousins. I don't think we would have much trouble reconstructing this tree, even without the dispensa.

Here is the link to the baptism record for Lucía:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-5Y9H-XC?i=49&cc=1883388

Ramón Angeles and Vicenta García had at least the following children, all in Tangancícuaro de Arista:
María Luisa Felicitas baptized on 10 Jul 1871 in Tangancícuaro,
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-PL9C-NV?i=535&cc=18833…

José Francisco Luis de Jesús baptized 5 Dec 1865
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-PL9H-DV?i=335&cc=18833…

José Felipe Florentino de Jesús baptized on 13 Oct 1867
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-PL94-CF?i=390&cc=18833…

It is a downer that in the mid-late XIX century Obispado de Michoacán parishes rarely mention the grandparents--this would have facilitated research tremendously.

Many of my husbands ancestors were born and most likely died in Calvillo. I doubt that I will be able to visit in my lifetime. Are there any records or information on all burials in the cemetery?

Hi Jess, when I researched my ancestors I found that ancestry was a great tool as they have death records from the Civil Registration (after 1850s) indexed, meaning you can do searches by name. However, the church records on deaths are not indexed and the search gets more complicated that way. I hope this can be helpful, not sure if that's what you were looking for

Here is a link to the church records in Calvillo

I have found most of my info on familysearch.org which has been amazing. I am not finding a whole lot of death records though. I love to walk old cemeteries, and would be interested to see if my ancestors are buried in the cemetery with legible stones. There aren't any stones transcribed from the cemetery that i can find.
