I am going to be at the Family History Library, in Salt Lake City, on Saturday, May 8.

 

If anyone needs, a record lookup. Let me know, and I'll get it, for you.

 

Thanks,

Hello Alice,

I have a family stories to share regarding this subject as well as 
the Cristiada.

My paternal grandfather, Francisco Sánchez, was a Cristero.  The 
Cristero rebellion affected my father's family greatly.  When the 
government took action against the Cristeros, my grandfather had to 
move his entire family out of their homestead (San Nicolas de los 
Abundis) to Guadalajara.  They were forced to leave everything 
behind and the family suffered great hardship as a result.  They 
eventually moved back to San Nicolas and had to "start over". My 
grandfather felt betrayed by the Catholic Church.  When the 
government took action against the Cristeros my grandfather felt 
that the Church should've stepped in more and help the Cristeros.  
Instead, they stood idly by and did nothing to help those who risked 
their lives to defend the Church.

On the subject of land redistribution: my father purchased several 
acres of land in a coastal area in Jalisco called "El Tule" back in

Steven,



How wonderful that you had the opportunity to do such extensive research on Mexican history.  I have a question for you.  I was raised by a family whose origins were from Los Altos.  They were one of the hacenderos families, and did not seemed touched by the Cristero movement - how could this happen?  When the property was transferred to this family's grandfather, he lost it in gambling, which forced the family to move to Guadalajara (1940's).  Recently, one of the brothers was able to repurchase the old ranch/hacienda and is now living there again.  How could a family go untouched with all this happening around them?  Or are there possibly family secrets that I am not previed to yet?

Hello Friends,

I come from Carpinteria, CA where many people from the Los Altos 
region of Jalisco settled (aside from having the "World's Safest 
Beach" Carpinteria had the last segregated school in California).  
Anyways, some of the old-timers claim that their families lost land 
in the Revolution of 1910.  I'm a bit skeptical and am curious if 
anyone has heard similar stories from their families.  Any feedback 
is appreciated. 

Thanks,

Alice

Jonathan,

thanks so much for making this generous offer. I just had Kitty Cortez
help me so wonderfully in her recent trip to SLC of which I am so grateful.

I kinda did have one small look up if you wouldn't mind, but put it on
the back burner if the list starts to overwhelm you with requests:

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

ANTONIO AVILA/DOMINGA BARRIOS parents of JM husband of felipa de
Aniceto Puentes who are possibly 4th cousins somehow:

MA. SECUNDINA AVILA BARRIOS  	  	

01 JUL 1874 Santa Maria Mecatabasco, Villa Del Refugio, Zacatecas,
Mexico:

  	Father:  	ANTONIO AVILA 	Family
  	Mother:  	DOMINGA BARRIOS 	
	C605393  	1873 - 1875  	1094630
================================================

Is there anyone researching San Juan de Los Lagos/Jalostotitlan who 
knows anything about El Papalote?  My hunch is that it's a rancho, 
and I'm curious whether a map of ranchos in that area is available 
and if resources exist to help us learn their history.

Any help is appreciated and I apologize if this has been covered 
before.  I'm often overwhelmed with the amount of information that 
comes our way.

Alice      

I found a site where an individual took pictures (a lot of them) of
Jerez, Zacatecas. Have a look:

well yes I am interested if I have any Jewish blood in me. but mainly I'm wanting to see if I might be related to others in the FamilyTreeDNA Mexican Surname project or to anyone in their database in general. I also have strong suspicions I'm related to a few people in the group and would love it if they were to join the project so we'd know for sure and maybe it would motivate us in how we persue our research.

I'm also wanting to get several of my relatives to take the test just to establish our genes for future generations to compare to.

My whole thing about this genealogy "thing" is to do as much work as I can before I die. I want to leave things as "tidy" as I can so

this search engine is part of the Google system but not as thorough. but
it has that added feature of "look inside the book" try it and see. Add
a term like "jalisco" to the search then after the results come up look
to the right and click on the "look insde the book" option and you get
books that have that search parameter in the book.
