Hi Edward,
	The Quinta Real in Zacatecas is beautiful.  It was once a Bull Ring,
but you probably already knew that. I was there only for the day, but I
checked it out with my tia and primas.  It was very cool because they have
built shops into it, a restaurant, etc.,  The center which is where the
bulls ran, is a huge beautiful, outdoor plaza for receptions. The entire
city is gorgeous.  The Spanish colonial presence is very real in this city
with rod iron rejas & balconies.  There is a wonderful museum on the Mexican
Revolution which is definitely worthwhile.  There is a display of currency
from that time period too.  There is an old convent built during the Spanish
reign which is missing it's ceiling due to the Mexican Revolution.  Can't
say enough!
	Zacatecas to Aguascalientes is quite a distance.  I went two years
ago, and the trip was essentially a day trip.  I would stay in both cities.
Aguascalientes is another worthwhile city to visit.  There is a lot of
history there as well

Hola-I am Raul Felix, son of Leonardo Felix/Guadalupe Flores. I am originally from delano, California with Felix lineage in Jerez, Zac. My grandmother, Antonia Fernandez married Simon Felix and later Trinidad Felix who became my grandfather...all fom Jerez. I have a birth doc. that says the father of Trinidad was Tomas Felix. Personal events at present prevent me from going into further detail at present but maybe we can explore this later on to see if there is a Felix connection somewhere?/Adelante

Hello,

I am new to the group.  I am doing research for a friend of mine who 
lives in San Diego.

His grandfather was Nicolas Reveles who was born on Dec 6, 1878 in 
Jerez.  He died in Los Angeles CA on Dec 31, 1947.  His first wife 
was Carmen Velasquez.  They were married in June 1902.  She died

Ed,

Here's a list of links with some information about your destinations. 
As you can see, Colotlán is not listed on the internet but I found 
the name of some local hotels.  Depending on who's travelling with 
you and if you're in adventurer mode or not, maybe it is better to 
make plans to stay somewhere else when visiting Colotlán.

many options available.  The smaller towns have fewer options and you 
have to be prepared for the very basic

In my husband's family, Lugardo Fonseca married Maria Del Refugio Ornelas in
San Diego De Alejandria in Jalisco in 1841, daughter of Benito Ornelas from
Arandas. His father was Jose Blas Ornelas of San Juan Perez. Maybe you will
find a connection. We, too, live in Washington State - in Yakima. Good
Luck. Evie

I am planning to go to Zacatecas in four weeks. My original plan was to stay in Zacatecas, Zacatecas (Quinta Real Zacatecas Hotel) as a base, traveling on day trips to Valparaiso, Sombrerete, Colotlan, and Aguascalientes. I would appreciate any comments on alternative accomodations, alternative towns I can use a base, local hotels, rental cars, or guides. Actually the Quinta Real Zacatecas, sounds like a neat place.



Maybe some of you have traveled there. I have never seen much of Mexico except the tourist resort spots or the border towns.



Thank you,



Ed Serros.

Hello, I am new to the group.

Most of my maternal lines hail from the 400 year old gene pool of el 
Reino de Nuevo Mexico (up and down the Rio Grande from Taos to 
Juarez), but I recently traced one line back to Nochistlan and 
Mexticacan in Jalisco.  

My g-g-g-g grand-parents were Jose Andres Felix Yanez and Paula 
Josefa Lopez of la Hacienda de los Delgadillos en el Pueblo de 
Nochistlan.  Their son Jose Pablo Nanes (born at that Hacienda in 
Nochistlan around 1788) married Ma. del Carmen Ramona Membrila in 
Juarez on April 27, 1822.  Andres and Paula had other children born 
in Mexticacan.

Hello all ---

I am new to the group.  I am researching the ancestry of my husband's 
grandfather Primitivo Garcia who was born somewhere in Jalisco in the 
late 1800's. His mother was Marciana Cervantes, born around 1871 in 
Encarnacion de Diaz, Jal.  Her father was Ysac Cervantes, who 
married  Maria Castula Aguirre, who was born in Enc. de Diaz on Feb 
27, 1843.  Ysac's father was Jose de la Encarnacion Talamantes, who 
married Dorotea Cervantes.  For some reason, Ysac took his mother's 
surname instead of his father's.  Dorotea's father was Juan Jose 
Cerbantes, her mother Juliana Rubalcaba.  The father of her husband 
was Jose Segundo Talamantes, the mother was Maria Dieguina.

Joseph,



I was hoping someone else would say this since I am new to this group. I am happy these people are communicating and moving on in their genealogy quest but I do not need to know about any of the details. Private email is the obvious solution and it is not clear to me why these people are not making use of it.



Respectfully,



Ed

The idea was brought up about suggesting that specific discussion about particular details of genealogy ties be taken to private email after the inital flow of communication since it would not be revelent to most members of the group. Hmmm . . .



Well first off it seems to me that in the recent upsurge of discussion "provoked" by Carol Lester (con carino) Maria Cortez might have been "forgotten" for possibly awhile if that thread had been quickly taken to private email. I really don't like

Felipe Neri is a compound or composite name that I've encountered 
frequently on my IGI searches.  I believe as some of you have 
explained that it goes after the saint Felipe de Neri. 

However, Neri by itself is also a surname, like Rodolfo Neri Vela, 
the first mexican astronaut.

-In the Catholic Church there is a St. Philip Neri (yes, he was 
Italian - I don't know anything more). Does this help?
