Hello Ranchos:



Correction!!!  "heard"

Hello:



To Yolanda Perez......on Chihuahua......have you ever hear of the Familia Group out of California?  Some of the members are working in that area.

I suppose I would just have to have the DNA test done myself (as 
Joseph Ramon is my strictly-paternal ancestor) and then find a male 
descendant of Bartolome ARANZAZU who is his descendant strictly down 
the paternal line, i.e. probably any male that has the ARANZAZU last 
name.

That should not be THAT difficult as it is a pretty rare name and 
most likely anyone around El Teul or Tlaltenango who has that name 
today is descendant from Bartolome or his brother Francisco Xavier.  
A match to either of them would show that I am actually a descendant 
as well, right?  I have already begun mapping the ARANZAZU of 
Zacatecas family tree so I can probably confirm whether the volunteer 
is descendant of these men or not.

What sort of information is kept in the Informacion Matrimonial?  
Bartolome ARANZAZU was married to Juana de ARO in 1752 in Tlaltenango 
and there is a film... Información matrimonial 1742-1753  VAULT INTL 
Film 443846...  There is also a Census... Padrones 1754-1780  FHL

Well I really don't know how to proceed. But lets think outside the box
for a second and really reeeeach for straw. Suppose that this orphan
child was only an orphan to cover up an indiscreet pregnancy from an
unmarried sister/prima of Don Bartolome Aranzazu. That was a far reach
wasn't it? Well anyway if you could find an Aranzazu relative from your
Ramon's downline that is currently wearing the Aranzazu name and another
that you know is directly through one of Don Bartolome's other son's you
could do Y-DNA on them to eliminate this ever so slight possibility.
Sorry to offer so little, but was the only thing I could think of.

ps: Also try to find the "Informacion Matrimonial" for Ramon as you
never know but there might be additional clues given. Confirmation
records? Death record?

Please keep your eyes open for any Duartes.  I believe
the Duartes from Jerez and Tlaltenango were related,
but I've had no success in linking them to my
greatgggggfather that lived in the 1600s in Zacatecas.
 

Thank you.

Yes great I tried to do one awhile back but didn't get to far. I listed
some in "Bibliographies" in Ranchos2 but only have info there for Los
Altos. . .

please update as often as you can.

thanks,

Yahoo! Groups Links

Give it a try....
I some times use Yahoo Mexico for searching for names,
places, relatives, in Mexico, and I've had some
limited success.  Last week I found a doctor in
Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, with the same last surnames as
mine, but reversed (Prieto Duarte).  She listed her
birthplace as Jerez, Zacatecas! Now all I have to do
is find here email address.

Good luck.

How about a bibliography database?

Mi twenty-six times over cousin Rosalinda made a big breakthrough for 
me today looking through films for me.  I had not been able to find a 
link between by fourth-great-grandfather Joseph Ramon ARANZAZU and the 
families in Tlaltenango with that name (where he supposedly was born).  
She made the link but it was not what I expected.  I am posting it here 
so that I can get suggestions as to how to proceed:

I looked up the marriage record of Ramon, and while the IGI notes that 
he was married before, he was not.  The person extracting the record 
misunderstood.  Ramon, it says, is an "expuesto en las puertas de Don 
Bartolome Aranzazu."  Since he was left at the doorstep, I guess his 
parents are unknown, and I think your brick wall is now truly high.  
There is a chance that you can find his baptism record, but that would 
take some work.  Sorry about this news.

Also if anyone has any ideas as to how his son ended up getting the 
name RAMOS (Benito RAMOS)... My guess is that son of

thanks Kitty for this free database. Lots of entries for Spain.

=================================================

The Castle Garden Database is now online. You can presently search New York
passenger arrivals from 1830-1892.

http://www.castlegarden.org/

The data reported is Firstname, Lastname, Occupation, Age, Sex, Arrived,
Origin, and Ship. The website says, in part:

CastleGarden.org offers free access to an extraordinary database of
information on 10 million immigrants from 1830 through 1892, the year Ellis
Island opened.... From 1855 to 1890, the Castle was America's first official
immigration center, a pioneering collaboration of New York State and New
York City.

CastleGarden.org is an invaluable resource for educators, scholars,
students, family historians, and the interested public. Currently the site
hosts 10 million records, and support is needed to complete the digitization
of the remaining 2 million records, beginning in 1820, from the original
ship manifests.

don't forget. . .if you are getting way too many emails just go to
Digest rather than consider unsubscribing.

or even go to "No Email" and read the posts online.

if you need help let me know.

Why does it have to be offline? We want to know more information on your trip, too! It's interesting and very helpful to the rest of us. Purty Pleez? Marge:)

Peggy, On my July trip to Tlaltenango, I was able to obtain some oral history from my cousins paternal grandmother who just celebrated her 100th birthday.

Her family said that she has great eyesight, and memory, She appeared to be in better health than her 80 year old daughter.

 

I was curious about the various "ranchos" so, I asked the various family members. Also, I was amazed at the distance between Tlaltenango, and some of the "ranchos"...she said that they would walk over the mountains...about 2 hours. Gosh...even in my days of running and hiking, the terrain would have been quite the feat. 

 

Back to your question...about the "rancho" being listed as the birth place...apparently this is where the family lived and worked, then they went to the nearest church for the

There is a ranch just outside of Jerez
called Lo de
Luna.  Many of my ancestors came from this ranch.
I
believe my  uncles (Garcia de la Cadena branch)
purchased the
ranch from the Munoz family in the early
1700's.

Hi Helyn--

 

If you click on this link: http://biblio2.colmex.mx/bibdig/dicc_cubas/base3.htm ,
it is a geographic dictionary and lists many of the ranchos and
cities in Mexico, in alphabetical order.  Click on M, and then
scroll down to the link for Muertos, which happens to be on page 152, volume
4.  There are 18 ranchos listed under Muerto, and 5 under Muertos, with
other variations

yes Dennis Daily is what I meant not Day. . .very nice person and easy
to talk to on the phone. Sometimes when you call Special Collections he
answers the phone. If anyone calls or emails him please report back on
future film sites on their agenda. thanks,

New Mexico State U. has filmed 3 archives from Mexico: three
collections in Durango--"the archives from the Durango Cathedral,
the state's notary records and a portion of the colonial materials
from the state historical archives." The Sombrerete will be the 4th
one.

NMSU worked with the town council to gain permission to film those
documents from Sombrerete. The person in charge at NMSU is
Dennis Daily. Perhaps you can contact him and inquire about future
projects.

thanks for this great information. I also have family from there. Maybe
some gaps will be filled once this project is complete. thanks much.
keep us updated and also forward any ILL loan information we might need.
I know Mr. Day in Special Collections via some email communications. He
is a very very helpful person.

thanks,

In my latest alumni issue from New Mexico State University in Las
Cruces, I found the following article:

NMSU is filming the archives of Sombrerete, Zacatecas. It will
take 2 years and produce about 200 reels of film. "The archive
houses little used, but incredibly rich documentation for the period
of the late 17th century through the end of the 18th century."

Among the materials are the church sacramental records such as
the marriage records from 1738-1764.

I am looking forward to the completion of the filming. Many of my
ancestors came from Sombrerete. Don Diego de Vargas recruited
many of his NM colonizers from
