Phelipe Martines and Francisca Xaviera Duron

Can someone tell me if the parents are named on this information matrimonial for Phelipe Martines and Francisca Xaviera Duron. I cant read the IMs very well

Comentario

The record is for Felipe Martinez and Francisca Javiera Solana daughter of Francisco Duron and Beatriz de la Vega. Grooms parents dont appear to be named

Comentario

M3CF-N9B record ID in Familysearch.org In the record it first introduces her as the above name and later gives duron. her parents are Francisco Duron and Beatris de la Vega (vera)
there is another record ID that might be them as well with either more complete names or it is a different couple I found a year ago Francisco Gutierrez Duron and Beatris Rodriguez de la Vega I can't remember why I was looking but maybe you know more about this family and can sum it up. I didn't look for Martin parents do you who they are?

There aren't very many records to review for Juchipila which seemed disheartening at first. But, if Ysidra and Juan Jose M were born around 1800, and they lived into their 50's or even into their 70's --well , you have death records. And there is a death record for Ysidra Luna: parents named, place of origin named, left Juan Medina a widower, 2nd marriage. Juan Medina is still living so look for his record in the Catholic Church register and in the Civil Registration records.

Good Luck on your search, Gloria

Could you possibly cut/paste the info that you found about YSIDRA LUNA? I would really appreciate it and any other record that you found about Juan Medina.

Again I am very thankful. Its been a long search with lots of us trying to find those two.

Take care

Comentario

Yolanda, not all records are indexed. You have to go to rolls and sometimes go page by page. I did send you the link in the first message. You should be able to click on it and it will take you to the page. If you can't use the link then go to familysearch Mexico, Zacatecas Church records/find Juchipilas/and go to Defunciones. The digital image # is on my first post. You'll need to search page by page for Juan Medina. I searched once and didn't find him but I may have missed him. Also, I'm sorry to say there are some years missing.

Lately I have had a lot of luck with Juchipila's pre 1800 records by
viewing all death records post 1800 for Juchipila, Apozol and Moyahua, as
well as looking through the dispensas for weddings through the Sagrada

Need help reading this 1792 marriage record

This is difficult for me to read, especially the names. Can anyone help me? Thank you.

Comentarios

Comentario

Names--

Groom: Juan Miguel de Luna y Lopez
his parents: Callettano Lopez & Ana Rosalia

Bride: Ana Luis Dias
her parents: Nicolas & Ana Bernarda Aleman

Padrinos: Jose Manuel & Maria Bictoriana
Testigos: Miguel de Herrera & Callettano Juan

I hope this helps.

Rosalinda

Comentario

Yes thank you! This does help me. I do have some follow-up questions now.

I had not been able to read "Rosalia". Since the grooms name is Juan Miguel de Luna y Lopez, does that mean that his mother's last name is Luna?

Also, is the bride's father's last name Dias?

Again, Rosalinda, thank you so much for your help.

Comentario

I don't know if I can answer with any certainty. Juan Miguel's last name could be one whole last name, or his mother's last name could be Luna. It would take additional records to confirm this. I think it is implied that the bride's father's last name is Dias.

Good luck!

Comentario

Bernarda Aleman I found a couple of weeks ago I've been trying to find spouses for 3 of my Alemans in the late 1600. Aleman is really Sifuentes de Aleman so sometimes the name Sifuentes will appear on one of the children. They are from San Luis Potosi. record ID above in subject line for ana luisa dias and juan miguel de luna y lopez. I have Luna in the 1600 but have not found another in my line yet. Good luck

Go to FamilySearch.org, log in, Go to Family tree, do a search for anyone. If you get some results then their ID should be right under their name for example:

Go to https://familysearch.org/
Then click on Family Tree
Then click on find
Then put in say, Antonio Gonzalez the result I got was:

Antonio Gonzalez
LD25-S6J <---- this is the Record ID

NOTE: I'm not exactly sure but the Record ID's seem to be directly related to individuals that are connected to Family Tree. So say for example you do a general search outside of family tree then it is very possible that NO Record ID will appear.

Saludos pariente, Yo también tengo como ancestros directos a los señalados en el tema. Desgraciadamente no te puedo ayudar con eso porque apenas si los descubrí en estos últimos días.
El motivo de ponerme en contacto contigo más bien es para saber si tienes el acta de matrimonio de Jacinto y de Gertrudis, también en otro post que subiste mencionaste que el era de Tuxcacuesco, cómo sabes que es la misma persona y que sus padres son Angela Sánchez y Diego de Villalbazo? Ojalá me puedas echar la mano

Hasta pronto

Deciphering another marriage certificate

On the marriage certificate for Nicolas de Robclaba y Juana Ruis de Luna, I can read all the information except the name of Juana's mother. It looks like Ma - but then I can't make out the next word.

Comentarios

Glad to be here.

Hello everyone. My name is Xochitl Cruz Gomez. My fathers family (Cruz) comes from Teocaltiche Jalisco and my mothers family (Gomez) is from Nochistlan, Zacatecas.

Comentarios

Comentario

First, Welcome!

I did find and merge records for Narcisco Arellano married to Juliana Villarreal. They do have a son named Refugio. Narcisco's father Rosalio Arrellano may be the same rosalio married to Maria Ambrosia Contreras. I have not reviewed those records as it seems rosalio was either married twice or two separate individuals. On the Villarreal I merged records to 1785 about. If I find that rosalio is married to contreras you can find out by selecting the Star marked WATCH. I have many contreras in my family so she might be family.

Comentario

Sorry, new to this site (first day) and I'm still navigating it. Where do I find the merge records you are referring to.

I did find through Ancestry a Narciso Arellano married to Juliana Villareal My Narciso (abt 1826) is married to JUANA Villareal. It could be that they are the same person. I would like to view what you merged. How do I do that. Thanks so much.

Comentario

I'm having a hard time confirming that Juana is Juliana. Both are married to Narciso. . I understand that women had two or even three names but I can't find proof that Juana is Juliana. Refugio's marriage certificate indicates Juana as his mother. All the other children's documentation is the baptismal certificate that indicates Juliana is the mother, however, Refugio does not have a baptismal certificate to indicate that Juliana is his mother. Refugio is my direct descendant and so I need more proof that Juana is Juliana on a record related to Refugio.

Did you find Refugio's baptism certificate? That would be solid proof.

Comentario

I went back to look at the record but the name of Juliana was removed. Juliana is the person for this record as she is mentioned on several of the children's records. If you have a blank, the computer cannot check for other records that might reveal more information. You can always put Juana as an AKA.

Comentario

Check out this link which is a marriage doc of Refugio Arellano and Magdalena Garcia. The doc says Refugio is 26 years old in 1877 which would make his birth year around 1851. It also says he's an hijo natural, so his parents were not married when he was born. I'm not sure if this is the Refugio you are looking for, but it lists his parents as Narciso Arrelano and Juana Villareal.

Paternal Grandfather's Name Rosalio Arellano
Paternal Grandmother's Name Norberta Flores
Maternal Grandfather's Name Jose Maria Villarreal
Maternal Grandmother's Name Ygnosencia Lara

Good luck,

Juan Aguayo

Comentario

Thanks for the links. I see where it state "hijo natural". Very interesting because I do have an image through ancestry.com ("Refugio Arellano and Magdalena Garcia in the Zacatecas, Mexico, Civil Registration Marriages, 1861-1952") of their marriage certificate which state "hijo legitimo de Narciso Arellano and Juana Villarreal" So I'm a little confused. I think I'm just overthinking this. Thanks for the help. Sometimes I just need a second opinion, actually you are the third.

I'm going to go with the "AKA Juana" and add Juliana to my tree as Refugio's wife which will populate the rest of the tree.

Muchas Gracia Juan.

(BTW, I do have Aguayo in my family. Feliciana Aguayo who married Longino Gomez in Nochistlan in 1859)

Xochitl

Comentario

Xochitl,

We do have common ancestors. My paternal and maternal lines are from Nochistlan. In looking at your files, our common ancestors are Antonio Corona and Maria Dolores Ximenez. I'm sure we have other common ancestors via the Gomez, Aguayo, Duran, Munoz, Alvarez, Macias, Ruiz, Marin, Acosta, Martinez, Ulloa, Jauregui, Martinez, Cervantes, etc.

If you run into roadblocks with your Macias line from Nochistlan, that last name was interchangeable with Alvarez. This was a roadblock of mine for a few years until I realized that some siblings were listed as Macias and others as Alvarez.

Saludos prima,
Juan Aguayo

Comentario

wow! That's pretty cool. I was hoping I would find a common relative. Glad to know you, if only via this website. Antonio Corona and Maria Dolores Ximenez are my 5th Great Grandparents on my Grandfather Florentino Gomez' side. What is your relation to them? I read up on relations and how the cousin line works, 5th cousin twice removed and so on. I'd be interested.

Thanks for the hint on the Macias line. I'll look into that.

Gracias Primo
Xochitl

Comentario

Xochitl,

The relation to my 6th great grandparents Antonio Corona and Maria de los Dolores Ximenes is through my paternal great-grandmother Maria Candelaria Aguirre Rodriguez who was baptized Feb. 02, 1901 in Nochistlan. The connection goes like this:

Maria Candelaria Aguirre Rodriguez-> Jose Felipe Aguirre Cervantes(b.02May1858)->Maria Refugia de Jesus Cervantes Aguayo (b. 06Jul1823) -> Jose Maria del Rosario Cervantes Corona (b. 03Oct1796) -> Maria Agapita Corona Ximenez (b.07Jun1767)-> whose parents are Antonio Corona and Maria de Los Dolores Ximenes!

I'm sure I'll find other mutual ancestors via the Duran and Munoz. The first documented Duran in Nochistlan is Juan Ximon Duran Duque to whom I have a paper trail through various lines. Jose Luis Vazquez y Rodriguez de Frias' book Genealogia de Nochistlan Antiguo Reino de la Nueva Galicia suggests Juan Ximon married Regina de Aguayo in approximately 1625, as their first child, Juan Duran el mozo, was born in 1626.

Saludos,
Juan Aguayo

Comentario

It seems we have an even closer relation by one generation. Maria Agapita Corona and Jose Maria del Rosario Cervantes (who I believe would be your 5th Great grandparents, my fourth great grandparents) who are the parents of Jose Maria de Rosario Servantes (your direct ancestor) and Rafael Cervantes (my ancestor) That is where the split happens.

My line is my grandfather Florentino Gomez (b1900) -> great grandmother Catalina Cervantes (b1867)-> 2x great grandfather Evaristo Cervantes (b 1844) -> 3x great grandfather Rafael Cervantes (b. 1795) -> 4x great grandparents: Jose Maria Cervantes** (b abt 1765?) and Maria Agapita Corona Ximenez (b.07Jun1767)

**One thing: Did you find anything on Jose Maria Cervantes? I have not been able to find much. Any help would be appreciated.

Pretty cool.

Saludos,
Xochitl.

Comentario

Hello Xochitl
My name is Saul Navarro and most of my research is centered in Nochistlan Zacatecas. While I don't have a GEDCOM posted in this website, I do have lots of information to share. I have been doing a little research for a new prima to help her along in her search. She is related to a Rafael Cervantes that married to Maria Dominga Rodriguez. This is Rafael's second marriage dated 19th July 1802 in Nochistlan. The image number is 392 and here is the link'

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939N-T7HN?i=391&wc=3P9F-2NG%3A1…

The doc stated that he is a viudo of Maria Ygnacia Tolentino and she passed away 3 years ago. His parents were Jose Leocadio Servantes married to Ana Maria Rodriguez. The brides parents were Jose Ramon Rodriguez married to Maria Francisca Gomez. The padrinos were Faustino de Salazar and Maria Casilda. Is this the Rafael that is related to you? If I can be of some assistance here is my Email address hartparkangler@yahoo.com
Saludos Saul

Comentario

Hola Saul,

I did read the link and I don't think it's the same person. My Rafael Cervantes (b 1795) married Maria de los Santos Franco in 1816. His parents are Jose Maria Cervantes (b 1765) and Maria Agapita Corona (b 1767). In 1802 he would be about 7 or 8 years old.

Thank you for your assistance, if i do get into a bind, i will definitely reach out to you.

Saludos,
Xochitl.

Hola Primos,

Yo también e escuchado ese mito de el origen Francés en la región de donde mis padres son en Calvillo, Aguascalientes y Huanusco Zacatecas. Osea que este mito también existe en Calvillo donde la mayoría de la gente tienen ojos azules, rubios y pecosos. Este es el caso de mi familia. Familiares paternos y maternos tienen estos rasgos. Mi abuelo materno tiene ojos azules igual que sus hermanos y madre. La abuela paterna de mi abuelo materno, según mi bis-abuela, tenia el cabello rubio y los ojos color cielo. Los hermanos de mi mama tienen ojos azules, y ella verdes. No nadamas eso pero son rubio y pecosos también, por eso muchos de mis hermanos son rubios y pecosos. También se ven estas características en mi lado paterno, pero mucho mas en mi lado materno. Cuando un primo o un hermano mio nace y sale rubio, ojos azules y pecoso se dice que salio Villalpando porque ese es el apellido de mi madre. Pero estos rasgos son muy común en la región, supongo porque muchos de nuestros ancestros los compartimos con la gente alteña. Pero igual después de hacer mi genealogía no e encontrado ascendencia Francésa, nada mas Española. Pero la gente, usualmente la gente mayor, sigue aclamando ese origen Francés.

Saludos

Alfonso Reynoso Rábago

Durante largo tiempo he estado investigando el origen racial de los Alteños. Hay muchos mitos sobre ello. Se dice que son blancos, rubios, de ojos claros porque los soldados franceses de la Segunda Intervención dejaron su descendencia en Los Altos. En realidad después de muchas búsquedas sólo habíamos encontrado la descendencia de un soldado del ejército francés de origen africano, de raza negra, en Los Altos. Este descubrimiento reportado aquí es extraordinariamente interesante porque fundamente el matrimonio de un soldado francés con una mujer mexicana (tal vez alteña). ¡Felicitaciones a su descubridor!

En realidad algunos de los alteños (no tanto como se dice) son blancos, rubios y de ojos claros no por la Segunda Intervención Francesa sino porque desde muy antiguo algunos de los primeros labradores españoles presentaban esas características. Hay un obispo que habla en su visita pastoral allá a principios del siglo XVII de esas características de los antepasados de los que ahora nos llamamos alteños. (He perdido la cita, si alguien la sabe, le agradecería si me la da a conocer).

Además, si vinieron soldados franceses con ojos azules, esa característica no la podían heredar a sus descendientes si la madre no tenía ella o alguno de sus antepasados esa característica. Eso nos lo dice la biología. Es decir que para tener ojos azules se necesita que tanto el padre como la madre aporten información genética de ojos azules.

Mil gracias por el aporte documental que es de primera.

Comentario

Estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo Alfonso. Los alteños, y otra gente de
México, tenia ojos azules desde antes de la Segunda Intervención Francesa.
Mis tíos abuelos, de Lagos de Moreno, no hubieran podido haber tenido ojos
azules solo por medio de mi bisabuelo que era un vasco español con ojos
azules y sin sangre francesa comprobado por sus documentos que tengo hasta
el siglo XVI. Su matrimonio con una alteña de Lagos de Moreno, de
ascendencia española y mestiza sin sangre francesa, fue la razón que dos de
sus hijos tuvieron ojos azules como otros alteños sin ascendencia francesa.
Varios parientes lejanos de mi bisabuela tienen ojos azules y no tienen
ascendencia francesa en sus árboles genealógicos.

Hace falta que mas personas que tienen parientes o ancestros con ojos
claros platique de su gente y de sus árboles y que escriben libros. Todavía
hay gente en Los Altos que creen que son güeros con ojos claros por tener
sangre francesa sin tener documentación que lo comprueba y eso aunque saben
sobre el contenido de los tomos de Retoños de La Nueva España y de los
muchos árboles de la gente de la región. Ponen mas fe en un libro con
mentiras porque les dice lo que quieren creer y optan por ignorar Retoños
de La Nueva España y demás documentación que existe.

De este matrimonio de Mateo Norinat o Naudinat y Leonarda Olivares no he
encontrado descendencia en Lagos de Moreno ni en el resto de Jalisco y
jamás he escuchado mencionar ese apellido ni uno parecido. Han de haber ido
a vivir a otra parte de México o afuera de México. Así que los documentos
de ese matrimonio comprueban que si hubo algunos franceses en Los Altos de
Jalisco pero todavía no hay comprobantes que hayan dejado descendencia en
Jalisco aparte del caso tuyo que mencionaste. Sigue siendo mito y no
historia verídica que los soldados franceses hayan sido causa de la piel
blanca, los ojos claros, y el pelo güero en Los Altos de Jalisco.

Armando

I don't think it was just Altenos who looked "French". My father was from Jerez, Zacatecas, and people with his surname Olague (a Basque name) first settled in Pinos, Zacatecas in the 1500s. My father said that his grandfather was called "el Frances" because he had blue eyes. When I did my research on the Olagues in Zacatecas, there were no French at all, only "espanol" going back to the 1600s in Zacatecas. When I went with my father to Zacatecas in the 1960s, we passed through some villages where the people were morenos with blue eyes. I asked why they had blue eyes (must to the consternation of my father), and they said that the French had been there. "Los Franceses estubieron agqui" they said, and they smiled.

Hola Alfonso,
Ciertamente parece ser un mito. Por lo menos no fue tan comun como pensábamos.
Te platico que cuando era pequeña, mis tios platicaban que mi tatarabuelo era frances y que cuando fue la revolución francesa se quedó aquí. me decían que su hijo tenía ojos verdes muy claros y yo tengo sus ojos.

Así quedó la historia y resulta que hace un par de años que entré en la investigación genealógica me di cuenta ¡que era falso!

Mis antepasados vienes por un lado,los RODRIGUEZ de Zacatecas entre 1730 y 1750, eran los rancheros que hablaba Francois Chevalier, cuando hablaba de los españoles rancheros, luego estaban los ESTEVES en Cuquio, tambien españoles.

Siguen por parte de mi mama los ARIAS MALDONADO y los BARAJAS, otros españoles que habitaron Ayo el chico y Tepatitlan.

De franceses ¡Nada! jejeje

Saludos y todo lo mejor,
Veronica Rodriguez

Comentario

I too often heard the myths about the French ancestors of Los altos de Jalisco when I was a child. And yes I did learn through decades of research that the French myth as it was told to us was false. Even though I have not found ancestry through French people immigrating to los altos de Jalisco, I was surprised to find that many of the original families that settled in Los altos de Jalisco were from northern Spain, many of them basques, and that many of them had French and English ancestors. More French than English . Even a few German, Italian and Middle East ancestors.Yes, most of our ancestors are from the Iberian peninsula, but most just means over fifty percent. Another thing to remember is that the Iberian peninsula was the original melting pot. An example of one of my ancestors that has a French and English ancestry, along with Spanish ancestry, is my Rodriguez de Hijar/ Fernandez de Hijar line.
R.A.Ricci

Comentario

Ricci,

Thank you for sharing the fact that you have also found the myth to be false through your research.

The rest was really off topic from the original posts but since you added it in I will respond. I doubt your French and English ancestors amount to more than 3% which isn't enough to affect the phenotype. The whole myth of the lost French soldiers in Los Altos was due to the phenotype. How far back did you have to go to find French and English ancestors? With about 5 generations of mixing with a different population a person's descendants loses most of their autosomal DNA. So most of your English and French ancestors' DNA would have been lost after about 5 generations and with it the phenotype. At that point the descendants are essentially Spanish and if that took place 20 generations ago that DNA would barely even show up in your results. If you had the ability to document all of your ancestral lines to the past 20 generations I would be surprised if you could prove that even 15% of your non-Amerindian ancestors hadn't been in Iberia at that point in time. That means a lot more than just over 50% of your ancestors would have been living in Iberia and mixing with the local population. It would have been closer to 85%.

In the academic studies published by Andres Moreno Estrada most Mexicans plot closer to Spaniards than to any other European group. He uses autosomal DNA for the plots and autosomal DNA is what we have inherited from multiple ancestral lines. If we had the ability to put people from Los Altos on a PCA plot that included Mexicans, from other regions, and Europeans the most likely results would be the people from Los Altos would plot with the Mexicans and they would plot closer to Iberians than to other Europeans. So our non-Amerindian autosomal DNA and our genealogical ancestry is mostly Iberian and much more than 50%. It's probably closer to the 85% I mentioned in the first paragraph.

If we go back far enough what we now know as English, French, German, or Spanish didn't even exist and all of those countries are melting pots too. See http://dna-explained.com/2014/10/21/peopling-of-europe-2014-identifying…

But if we use the data from what we now know as those regions and compare their Y-DNA to the non-Amerindian Y-DNA of the tri-state area of Jalisco, Aguascalientes, and Zacatecas it is very similar to that of Andalucía. So the Y-DNA that is in our region that isn't originally Iberian does exist in Iberia today. Extremadura and Andalucía is where a majority if the immigration from Spain to Mexico took place and that is also the case with the tri-state area and the Los Altos micro region. So even our Y-DNA shows that we have a lot more than 50% of our ancestors being from Iberia.

More large scale studies of different parts of Mexico, Spain, and Europe need to be done to verify that the numbers hold up but until then that is what we have as far as DNA.

Which families are the ones that you have found to be from northern Spain or the Basque country? I know of only a few that were mentioned in Retoños de España but I am wondering which other ones you have found.

Comentario

Dear Armando,

I agree with what you wrote in your post. I have done much research and have worked on my genealogy for close to forty years now. I have much more than twenty generations on many of my lines Since you mention the 20th generation I went to my tree and immediately came up with an ancestor of mine Count D'Evreuex Louis Beaumont de Roger of France. Also 20 th generation Jeanne d'Albret and Arnaud de Curton 17 th generation would be Robert "Robin" Braquemont. I repeatedly descend from these people, along with other French, and what is now France but once called Pamplona. Their descendents intermarried often. But yes, over fifty percent of my ancestors do come from the Iberian peninsula.
From another line the French start at 21 at generation. I also descend from this line numerous times.

Es desconcertante la expresión "yeux Roux" que se encuentra en el documento comentado. En efecto alguno de los participantes en este foro tradujo la expresión "yeux Roux" como "ojos rojos", otro como "rojizos" y otro más "rudos". En realida el término "roux" en francés se utiliza más para designar el color del pelo que el color de los ojos. Cuando se refiere al color del pelo, se trata del color rubio del pelo. Por eso desconcierta que el documento diga que los ojos del soldado francés sean de color rubio ("roux") ya que esa expresión no se usa ni en español y me parece que no se usa en francés pues no decimos "ojos rubios", y en google-france al buscar imágenes bajo la búsqueda "yeux roux" aparece la página

https://www.google.fr/?gws_rd=ssl#q=yeux+roux ni en francés "yeux roux".

En ella sólo aparecen mujeres rubias de pelo pero sus ojos de color azul, verde y marrón.

Pueden ustedes encontrar en: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rousseur#mediaviewer/File:Woman_redhead_na…

Una mujer de pelo rubio. En francés la expresión para describirla es: "Femme rousse (femenino de roux), ses cheveux sont roux et sa peau claire." que podría traducirse al español como "Mujer rubia, sus cabellos son rubios y su piel clara" pero observen que sus ojos son azules. En la misma imagen se describe a esa mujer en inglés como "Woman with natural red hair", es decir "Mujer con pelo natural rubio (red = rojo, rubio)".

En la página siguiente hay un interesante artículo sobre los rubios, en francés, que resumo a continuación. Está muy bien ilustrado:

http://www.demotivateur.fr/article-buzz/8-choses-que-vous-ne-saviez-pas…

"Les roux" en francés son "los rubios" y se refiere este calificativo al pelo. Vean que en el mismo nombre de la página anterior aparece la expresión "les roux". De ellos se dice: 1) Algo que ya señalé en mi participación anterior: nadie puede tener los ojos azules si no hereada el gen ojos azules tanto de la línea de su padre como de la de su madre ("il faut que les deux parents portent le gène en eux). 2) Los rubios tienen menos pelo pero más grueso ("Les roux ont moins de cheveux, mais ceux-ci sont plus épais." 3) Los rubios son más resistentes a la anestesia y a las sustancias contra el dolor ("Les roux sont plus résistants à l'anesthésie et aux anti-douleurs"). 4) Los rubios son más sensibles a los cambios de temperatura ("Les roux sont plus sensibles aux changements de température"). 5)Los rubios son extremadamente raros, es decir, son muy escasos ("Les roux sont extrêmement rares"). 6) Los rubios con ojos azules son aún más raros (escasos)... (" Les roux aux yeux bleus sont encore plus rares...") Aún más, el mismo artículo sigue diciendo: "Si la mayor parte de los rubios tienen los ojos marrones o verdes, sólo un puñado de individuos tienen los ojos azules. ¡Se trata de la combinación más rara (escasa) de color cabello(rubio)/ojos (azules) del mundo! Lástima, porque es muy bonita. Sólamente alrededor del 1% de los rubios tienen los ojos de ese color (azul)…("Si la plupart des roux ont les yeux marrons ou vert, une poignée d’individus ont les yeux bleus. ¡Il s’agit de la combinaison de couleur cheveux/yeux la plus rare du monde! Et c’est bien dommage, parce que c’est plutôt joli. Seuls 1% des roux environ ont les yeux de cette couleur…"). 7) Los rubios no tienen canas ("Les roux n'ont pas de cheveux gris"). 8) Los rubios producen más vitamina D (" Les roux produisent plus de vitamine D"), es decir, poca melanina que da color a su piel por eso tienen la piel pálida.

Por ello cuando el documento que comentamos habla de los "yeux Roux", se ha de referir más bien a los ojos de color marrón ya que el color marrón es el color que más rojo tiene de entre de los colores primarios. Esto sobre todo que el personaje descrito no es rubio (de pelo) sino de pelo negro.

Un saludo.

En efecto alguno de los participantes en este foro tradujo la expresión "yeux Roux" como "ojos rojos", otro como "rojizos" y otro más "rudos". En realida el término "roux" en francés se utiliza más para designar el color del pelo que el color de los ojos. Cuando se refiere al color del pelo, se trata del color rubio del pelo. Por eso desconcierta que el documento diga que los ojos del soldado francés sean de color rubio ("roux") ya que esa expresión no se usa ni en español y me parece que no se usa en francés pues no decimos "ojos rubios", y en google-france al buscar imágenes bajo la búsqueda "yeux roux" aparece la página

https://www.google.fr/?gws_rd=ssl#q=yeux+roux ni en francés "yeux roux".

En ella sólo aparecen mujeres rubias de pelo pero sus ojos de color azul, verde y marrón.

Pueden ustedes encontrar en: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rousseur#mediaviewer/File:Woman_redhead_na…

Una mujer de pelo rubio. En francés la expresión para describirla es: "Femme rousse (femenino de roux), ses cheveux sont roux et sa peau claire." que podría traducirse al español como "Mujer rubia, sus cabellos son rubios y su piel clara" pero observen que sus ojos son azules. En la misma imagen se describe a esa mujer en inglés como "Woman with natural red hair", es decir "Mujer con pelo natural rubio (red = rojo, rubio)".

En la página siguiente hay un interesante artículo sobre los rubios, en francés, que resumo a continuación. Está muy bien ilustrado:

http://www.demotivateur.fr/article-buzz/8-choses-que-vous-ne-saviez-pas…

"Les roux" en francés son "los rubios" y se refiere este calificativo al pelo. Vean que en el mismo nombre de la página anterior aparece la expresión "les roux". De ellos se dice: 1) Algo que ya señalé en mi participación anterior: nadie puede tener los ojos azules si no hereada el gen ojos azules tanto de la línea de su padre como de la de su madre ("il faut que les deux parents portent le gène en eux). 2) Los rubios tienen menos pelo pero más grueso ("Les roux ont moins de cheveux, mais ceux-ci sont plus épais." 3) Los rubios son más resistentes a la anestesia y a las sustancias contra el dolor ("Les roux sont plus résistants à l'anesthésie et aux anti-douleurs"). 4) Los rubios son más sensibles a los cambios de temperatura ("Les roux sont plus sensibles aux changements de température"). 5)Los rubios son extremadamente raros, es decir, son muy escasos ("Les roux sont extrêmement rares"). 6) Los rubios con ojos azules son aún más raros (escasos)... (" Les
roux aux
yeux bleus sont encore plus rares...") Aún más, el mismo artículo sigue diciendo: "Si la mayor parte de los rubios tienen los ojos marrones o verdes, sólo un puñado de individuos tienen los ojos azules. ¡Se trata de la combinación más rara (escasa) de color cabello(rubio)/ojos (azules) del mundo! Lástima, porque es muy bonita. Sólamente alrededor del 1% de los rubios tienen los ojos de ese color (azul)…("Si la plupart des roux ont les yeux marrons ou vert, une poignée d’individus ont les yeux bleus. ¡Il s’agit de la combinaison de couleur cheveux/yeux la plus rare du monde! Et c’est bien dommage, parce que c’est plutôt joli. Seuls 1% des roux environ ont les yeux de cette couleur…"). 7) Los rubios no tienen canas ("Les roux n'ont pas de cheveux gris"). 8) Los rubios producen poca vitamina D (" Les roux produisent plus de vitamine D"), es decir, poca melanina que da color a su piel por eso tienen la piel pálida.

Por ello cuando el documento que comentamos habla de los "yeux Roux", se ha de referir más bien a los ojos marrones ya que el color marrón es el color que más rojo tiene entre de los colores primarios. Esto sobre todo que el personaje descrito no es rubio (de pelo) sino de pelo negro.

Un saludo. Ojalá que a alguien le sirva algo de esto.

Totalmente de acuerdo contigo, Julieta. En mis aportes, empleé mal el término "rubio", debí haber empleado la voz "pelirrojo". En efecto, El Diccionario de Real Academia define al rubio como "Dicho especialmente del pelo: De color amarillento, parecido al del oro." Agradezco mucho la corrección de mi error. Y totalmente de acuerdo contigo de que la expresión francesa para rubio es "blond" o "blonde" en femenino.

Sin embargo el problema en el documento comentado es que se diga que el soldado descrito tiene los ojos "roux". ¿Ojos pelirrojos? Hasta donde sé, esa expresión no existe en francés como color de ojos. Investigaré mejor con personas de habla francesa.

Un saludo y mil gracias por la aclaración.

hola Alfonso

el documento sobre el soldado no me llego o no pude abrir, pero me llamo la atencion el enlace que pusiste en donde en las fotos eran todos pelirrojos y tu escribias rubios :) es verdad que a veces hacemos errores tan obvios que no los notamos y creo que asi te paso a ti esta vez. :)

pero volviendo a los ojos rojos yeux roux, encontre en un libro , que aqui te paso el enlace, al parecer yeux roux es un termino que se usaba en la epoca de Napoleon y que describia unos ojos color "castana - rojizos" y que actualmente ya no se usa, tambien los habia amarillos y anaranjados !

esta en la pag 643 un cuadro sobre los colores de ojos

Hoy me acordé de un estudio de ADN de los restos de una persona que vivía hace 7,000 años en España. Los resultados indican que tenia ojos azules pero tez morena. Fueron miles de años después que llegaron personas con tez blanca de Europa oriental a Europa occidental. Todavía están tratando de comprobar en cual continente y cual grupo étnico apareció la tez blanca por primera vez. Posiblemente apareció por primera vez en Asia y no en Europa.

I believe that much of the history of the French legends in Jalisco and Zacatecas came not just from the blue or green eyes but because of the ancestors of many of the conquistadors. When I first studied the background of Hernan Cortez and the men that came to Mexico with him I was surprised to find that the majority of them came from three areas. One of those areas was the extremadura, close to the border with Portugal. The second area where many of these men came from was from the basque region. Many of these men came from an area that is now considered part of France. Just today I found out that an an ancestor of mine that was a conquistador that came from this basque area has maternal grandparents that were from even father north, in the northern region of France.

Katy,
I, and I'm sure many others, have benefitted enormously from your efforts to index the Dispensas, Capallanas, and Ordenes. Daily I check to see if you've made any new posts and it feels like Christmas when you have. I've been able to find entries that have helped my research from nearly each posting. I understand that school and "life" are priorities, but I also want to tell you how much I appreciate your work. Thank you, Deedra Corona

Katy first I'd like to thank you for all you share.
Can you tell me where you found the dispensation for Eutimio Banuelos and Gervacia Fernandez?
I checked the dispensations for those years and can't find anything for them
thanks,
Linda Castanon-Long

Hi Katy,

I was going through the capellanias of 1611-1654, and you say image 231 is for Leonor Arias, but I am not finding her on that page at all. Do you have more information on this particular entry?

http://guadalajaradispensas.tumblr.com/post/122205071083/capellan%C3%AD…

Thanks!

Sean

P.S. I would be happy to help with indexing, but I will be slow as well since I am in my first year of medical residency.

Comentario

that index was one of the few indexes submitted by volunteers, so i'm not sure where the volunteer got that name from. thanks for pointing that out, after looking at the next few pages after 231, i think it maybe related to the entry before on 228, so i'll edit that post to remove that entry.

also there's a possibility that i'll convert some these indexes into excel/access format also.

I may change the theme also since the edit option wasn't showing up when viewing the post on the blog and had to use a round about way of editing that post.

also linda, banuelos/fernandez marriage record you are talking about maybe in a collection that i browsed but didn't index yet. since i do see i have a page from them posted on my tree on my ancestry, but it appears my bookmark link to that page isn't labeled(i occasioonally remember to label bookmarks with the name of the person(s) in document

edit: i found their marriage record

Hi Katy,

I do not descend from the Quesada family but I do have second cousin surnamed Quesadas. My grandmothers half sister married a quesada. I have never met any of them though my great aunt that is the daughter of my great aunt (and godmother) has been in contact with them. Where is your family from?

Rick A. Ricci

Comentario

my grandpa's family comes from las bocas, jalisco, mexico. the furthest i could trace my quezada surname line(not counting lines they married into like enriquez,de la torre, marquez,villaneda etc.) i've only traced up to a felipe quezada born in the late 1600's

Comentario

Hi Katy,

My oldest sister had told me that my grandmothers half sister was married into the Quesadas. I took her word for it because I remembered that someone on my maternal grandmothers side had married a quesada. I just now took a look at my records and i think my sister made a slight mistake. She may be correct that a great aunt of mine married a Quesada because I don't have all of the information on my grandmothers half sisters though I remember meeting them when I was a kid.

What I found in my records is that my great grandmothers half sister, Maria Guadalupe Rodriguez Ybarra was married to Erasmo Quesada y Lopez. She was much younger than my great grandmother as she was from my great great grandfathers third marriage to Priisiliana Ybarra. Maria Guadalupe was closer in age to my grandmothers younger half sisters so that is why I believe my sister mistakenly identified her as her half sister.

In my records, I have Erasmo Quesada Lopez as the son of Jose Quesada Velez and Guadalupe Lopez. Erasmo was born in Guanajuato on 25/Nov/1901.

PS I told my sister about my post and she says that my information is correct and that it is not through a half sister like she had originally told me. She says that she mentioned the people to our dad and that he had corrected her. Our dad says that they used to visit him at his place of business many years ago.

Erasmo Quesada Lopez and Maria Guadalupe Rodriguez Ybarra have a son kind of late in life named Humberto Quesada Rodriguez. I wrote kind of late because Ma.Gpe was 38 when Humberto was born. Humberto is my grandmothers half first cousin though he is much closer to my age than hers. Humberto married Mary Tenorio Rodriguez and they have two children according to my records

I shouldn't write that 38 is late since I had my only child at 43.

Humberto and Maria Guadalupe's kids are second cousins to my dad but are the age of my dads oldest grandchildren. In a similar vein, this disparity of ages, in a relatively short amount of time, is what caused most genealogies of the ancestors of the Sanchez (Toribio Hernandez Sanchez) family to be misaligned.

Just a note: Paula Santana is my Paternal Great grandmother. She married Felix Rivera on May 29, 1926 in Cuale, Jalisco, Mexico.

Felix Rivera was born on Nov. 26, 1905 in San Sebastian del Oeste, Jalisco, Mexico and died in Nayarit, Mexico under the name Domingo Rivera.

I took at look at your attachment, and I believe I can offer a bit of help:

Carmen Santana [Ruiz], #5 on your chart, is Maria Carmen Ruiz, who was baptized 1 Aug 1844, San Miguel parish, Ayutla, Jalisco, daughter of Albino Ruiz and Ambrocia Ramona Valle, as you have noted, but the baptismal record gives the grandparents:
....Rafael Ruiz and Maria Coronado (I did not find other info on them)
....Antonio Maria Coronado y Valle and Maria Micaela Gusman (more below)

Antonio Maria Coronado y Valle was from the Rancho de Camajapa (spelling?), Cocula, Jalisco, son of Simon Narciso Valle and Maria Teresa de Lara. He married 12 May 1803, Corazon de Jesus parish, Tecolotlan, Jalisco, Maria Micaela Gusman, daughter of Jose Gusman and Josefa Jauregui.
....Simon Narciso Valle & Maria Teresa de Lara -- I found no further info.
....Jose Gusman and Josefa Jauregui -- I found no further info.

Vicente Sanches, your #18, is Jose Vicente Sanches, born est 1761/66 [based on age of 20/25 at marriage] in Puerto de Temaxcas, son of Nicolas Sanches and Maria Manuela Espinosa. He married on 6 Feb 1786 in San Miguel, Ejutla, Jalisco, Maria Gertrudis Olibera (viuda), born in Hacienda de Santa Anna. I did find Maria Gertrudis's first marriage record.
....Nicholas Sanches and Manuela Espinosa -- I found no further info.

Some corrections:

#14, Jose Norberto Araiza, is Jose Roberto Araiza
#20, Jose Eufacio Araiza, is Jose Eufracio Araiza
#24, Franco Corona, is Francisco Gonzales Corona

The marriage date for Juan Jose Santana (#12) and Maria Vicenta Simona Sanches is not 17 Apr 1870, but actually 19 Jun 1805, Sagrado Corazon de Jesus, Tenamaxtlan, Jalisco.

By using Family Search I was able to add children to most of the families in your chart, and in some cases their spouses.

All the data above with "real dates," month-day-year, are from the Catholic Church records posted at Family Search, and also will turn up through the search, and will be fairly easy to find.

For further research, the matrimonial investigations may help with the gaps, as you sometimes find records there that are not in the marriage registers. Unfortunately these are typically not indexed, not in good chronological order (sometimes years are mixed up), and have not been extracted. Unfortunately they are tedious to search.

I do have a question: where (what town) are El Donacito and Rancho de las Partidas?

Good luck with your future searches!

The document for your great-grandmother is the Matrimonial Investigation. This is a process that takes place prior to marriage in the Catholic Church; it could be a few weeks (if no complications) to months (if there are impediments to the marriage, and a dispensation is needed) before the actual marriage. In a few cases it is only days before the wedding, but this is not common. I suspect the marriage was in June 1926: unfortunately there are no marriage records for this year in El Tuito. The investigations were usually done in the parish that the couple was married in, but not always.

The document says she was 21 years old, originally from and a resident of San Sebastian for 17 years, resident of La Pena for 3 years, and El Tuito for 1 year. I would not take her age as necessarily correct, but would like verification from a baptismal or civil birth record. The baptismal records of San Sebastian del Oeste seem to be pretty complete: there are records for San Sebastian as well as several auxilliary chapels, so with luck the baptismal record is there. I would start in the estimated year of her birth and go forward if not found in that year, before looking at older records.

Rancho de la Partidas is near Tomatlan, since it is mentioned in those records simply as "Rancho de las Partidas" without mentioning a different jurisdiction.

The 1930 Census for Puerto Vallarta shows the family of Jose de Jesus Rivera and Maria del Refugio Flores. Although relationships aren't given, I believe the listing is of the couple, their children (including their married son), then the daughter-in-law (Paula), and finally the granddaughter.

George, you are wonderful!

I had no idea there were pre-marriage investigations. I think the 21 year old is actually my great grandfather, Felix Rivera and not Paula Santana.

Hello George Fulton,
I came across this response today and it caught my eye that you were citing Tenamaxtlan, Jalisco; an area that I have researched extensively. I was very interested that you said you had found the marriage of Pedro Munoz and Maria Gertrudes Oliveras. Would you be so kind to please pass it along, I've searched all afternoon with no luck. I have her in my tree as daughter of Gabriel Oliveras and Maria Feliciana Garcia. I have Gabriel's mother as Maria Toscano and Gfather as Jose Maria Toscano, but I am unable to go further.

A study published by Andrés Moreno-Estrada et al. in 2014 used the dataset from the Bustamate lab that was used for the tests of the DNA of Sandra Cisneros and for Jessica Alba. The study was talked about on this site shortly after it was published. You can read the study if you get a free account to Science Mag. You will have the option for free registration when you try to open the link at http://science.sciencemag.org/content/344/6189/1280.full

Once you do you can get all of the details of the DNA results of Native Mexicans and Cosmpolitan Mexicans from all over Mexico including two of the three states this site is dedicated to which are Jalisco and Zacatecas.

Even without free registration you can see the following ADMIXTURE results for different Native Mexican tribes such as Huichol, Purepecha, Nahua Jalisco and other Nahuas, and different Mayan tribes. As pointed out by RJQ the Aztecs were a Nahua tribe. If you notice almost all tribes have the purple which is a group of autosomal SNPs shared by all of them that have the purple. The Huichol have almost all of the very light blue and Mayans have a lot of the orange. The Nahua Jalisco have a mix of the purple, the Huichol light blue, and the orange Mayan. If you also look at the cosmopolitan samples from Zacatecas and Jalisco you will see they also have a mix of purple, light blue, and orange.

In summary we all have a mix of autosomal DNA that the Huichol, Nahua, and Mayan also have because many the SNPs are from many thousands of years ago from when they first populated Mexico around 14,000 years ago and some are from being mixed since several tribes such as the Tlaxcalans and Otomí assisted in the conquest of Mexico.

As far as mtDNA A that Linda mentioned it is all over Mexico and with a Full Sequence mtDNA test, which is the best kind of mtDNA test, she would show to be a subclade of A2. In a 2012 study of Native Mexicans A2 was 55% of Huichol, 57% of Nahua, 49% of Otomí Sierra, and 79% of Maya. That study is at http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0044666 The graph has the mtDNA haplogroups mislabeled but the text of the study and the table have the correct names of A2, B2, C1, and D1.

Comentario

I just realized I hadn't included a link to the image of the ADMIXTURE results of Native and Cosmopolitan Mexicans that shows the autosomal SNPs in different colors and shows that people from Zacatecas and Jalisco have a mix of Huichol, Nahua, and Mayan autosomal DNA. It's at https://d2ufo47lrtsv5s.cloudfront.net/content/sci/344/6189/1280/F2.larg…

On the PBS show "Finding your Roots," Sandra Cisneros was given a test that she was the first to receive as it was a new DNA test to show from what tribe, Nation one was from. Several people have left comments to find out what test that was but they have been ignored.

"Which DNA test did Sandra Cisneros take to show her Mayan roots? Dr. Gates mentioned it was new"

Comentario

I thought all of us of Native Americans from New Mexico and Mexico who show Native blood had our DNA traced back to Mayans, no?

I had a question about the science site with the Mayan, Huichol and Nahua
mixtures but my question is not very clear. I know that some of my
ancestors were from the Caxcan tribe headed by the Mendoza's and I don't
know what happened to the Caxcan people, maybe they disappeared or maybe
they just mixed with the Spanish people like Chief Blas de Mendoza. but
does anyone know how that DNA is researched? are they part of the Mayan,
Huichol or NAhuas or have they just disappeared? so as an example say that
all my indigenous ancestors were Caxcan people from Teocaltiche and since
I don't see the Caxcan tribe listed as one of the tribes of the Native
Mexicans on the admixture picture, would my Caxcan DNA be reclassified
under another tribe or would it be redistributed among several different
tribes or just not be listed

Danny C. Alonso

Comentario

Danny,

Check out the following posts my prima Alicia made on Nuestros Ranchos a
few years back. I've attached them here because the Tachiquin last name is
most likely a Caxcan last name that still survives today. As far as I know
there are still some Tachiquin families in el barrio de San Sebastian in
Nochistlan, not far from Teocaltiche. I'm not sure how much of European and
other DNAs have been mixed into this family over the years. My DNA has
Caxcan DNA as most if not all of the people with ancestry in this part of
Mexico does. The Caxcanes have been mixed in with European, African, Middle
Eastern, Asian DNA's present in this part of Mexico. This is the mestisaje
that makes us Mexican. I'm not aware of any pure Caxcan people living
today, but the Tachiquin elders are probably the closest we can get to pure
Caxcan DNA. Years ago Family Tree DNA listed my indigenous DNA as Mayan,
but today it's just listed as Native American most likely because they know
there are distinct and different indigenous DNA throughout Mexico. Mayans
are quite a bit farther south in Mexico so I'm pretty sure Caxcanes are not
Mayan. Based on some quick research, there are some sites stating the
Caxcan are part of the Uto-Aztecan family as are the aztecas, huicholes,
zacatecos, nahuas and matlatzincas. Since DNA research in Mexico is in its
infancy so to speak, more refined markers identifying Caxcan DNA are not
available as far as I know. Maybe that will change with the work of Dr.
Carlos Bustamante at Stanford University.

Saludos,

Juan Aguayo

See past post below:

Lisa,

As you may know, surnames were not used by the native American people.
Having
said that, the surname of Tachiquin is indigenous to the area of Nochistlan
and
is the only known indian surname that survived and was not converted to
spanish
or the castillian language.

Aside from this, I don't know anything else about this surname other than
it was
and is an original indian surname. Would your grandfather by chance be from
Tenayuca or Toyahua in the municipality of Nochistlan?

Alicia,
San Jose, Calif

Tachiquin Surname's origins

Submitted by oldcar53 on Wed, 2011-03-23 03:00.

Lisa,

Good news, I knew that I'd read something somewhere about the surname
Tachiquin
and today I had time to look into it and found the following.

In the book Nochistlan de Zacatecas by Evelia Clotilde Quirarte there's a
section that tells of a few indian surnames.

The surname Tachiquin corresponds to families that originated in the Barrio
of
San Sebastian of Nochistlan. The Tachiquin surname is believed to have
originally been tlachiunqui that was then converted to tlachinqui. The
letter t
before the letter L is characteristic of the language of the cazcan nation
indigenous to the area of Nochistlan and the surrounding areas. She states
that
the etimology of the word tlachiuanite means to cast a spell. (espanol),(
hechizar, aojar, el encantador, el que hechiza)

She believed that the original Tachiquin may have been an important healer
or
medicine man or man of influence in the Caxcan community.

In 1913, a person with the name of Tachiquin was honored for giving his
life for
defending Nochistlan.

I hope this helps.

Alicia,
San Jose, Ca.

The above comments on Caxcan surnames was interesting. I was wondering if other NA groups have surnames in Mexico.

I know that there are Yucatec Maya surnames, and they're fairly common. They tend to be regular words, sometimes rather "funny" to our minds. My ex-husband was yucateco, and his maternal surname was Uc, which mean piojo. His mother is Uc Cab (honey). Chan is a common name, not sure of the meaning, as is Balam, which I believe is jaguar. Pech means agarrapatas. I've seen Dzul as well.

Anyway, just an interesting topic.

Juan,

Thank you for this information. It's very informative. I was not aware of
any of it before.

I am 30 to 40% native american. The best web page that has dna analysis is
gedmatch. Using oracle 4.

You need to get dna test in one of the mayor companies 23 and me,
familytreedna , ancesntry or National geo. The best was 23 and me but it
has change. Fanily tree dna is the best in market i think.

Then you can up load data to

dna.land

https://www.gedmatch.com : this is the best it has oracle 4 and you can
choose what territory to search on.

The new dna test was performed by Stanford professor Carlos Bustamante. I'm
by no means an expert on indigenous DNA in Mexico, but I do know there are
measurable differences within the various tribes in Mexico, many of which
do not trace back to the Mayans.

As Juan Aguayo pointed out, the test provided to Cisneros (and, I believe, Jessica Alba in her episode) was provided by Dr. Carlos Bustamante at Stanford. His website https://bustamantelab.stanford.edu/ provides an opportunity to fill out a questionnaire if you are interested in his study on Native American ancestry. The link is on the lower right of the page. The test is not available to the public-- what we saw in the episodes is just a special opportunity given to a few people.

Here's our chance to express our interest, though, and maybe Dr. Bustamante will make the test available to us in the future!

The short answer would be no, its very unlikely that someone can factually find of what native tribe their descendants were from, for once, there was too much mixture after the establishment of the colony to say that a line of native ancestry was of a single party, Aztecs were one of many Nahuatl tribes (although some writings would argue that all Nahuatl were Aztecs) and the ones favored by the Spanish, which in turn made their documentation highly romanticized, consequently many people think in all natives from the Mexico region as Aztecs, but the there were many others and vary by regions. Also is important to note that this subcultures are distinguish by language and not biologically, is obvious that while the different tribes migrated, some of them would mix along the way. Thus wouldn't be impossible to find an Aztec with a Chichimeca dna.

I wouldn't say impossible though, may be as time pass, or like when related to some lineages like the Moctezuma's, that were somehow documented and established, their "Ducado" still exist, many other tribes married their aristocrat kids with Spanish to keep their wealth, etc. They may be traceable.

Now if someone wants to know if they have Native blood, regardless of which tribe/culture they come from, then that's easier, as Linda mentioned, dna can't give a bit more information*, also good old plain genealogy with documents can provide many clues, But focusing only on finding this facts is very counterproductive, and for many, disappointing. I personally don't recommended. Mexico, as much denial as there is been for decades, was in fact a "melting pot", all the way from Africa to Asia, from South America to the North, is way better to open the "vault" of our ancestry and be surprised by its content.

*Note, it was known that Asian natives were brought and many were left in Mexico, specially from the Philippines, (and the same the other way around), their christian names makes it impossible to trace with documents, although very small in number, some people may have their dna, but would be considered "native dna" simply because they are Hispanics, don't take my word for granted, as far as I remember these groups are not yet fully distinguishable from each other.

Comentario

when I had my MTDNA (Mother to Daughter only) it came back that my first Mother was Native American Group A. In Mexico she would have been Nahua and that was part of the Aztec Nation. I have no idea what DNA the men would have had.. Unfortunately I have had no luck tracking that line back any further than 1850 or so in Michoacan, Mexico.

Hallo everybody:

As I have understand in Wikipedia in spanish, The Caxcans were one of the 7 Aztlan tribes, so they were related with Aztecs.

Thank You Martha. This was very interesting. I didn't know anything about the Cazcanes really. I wish they were still around today to get more information about.

Katy,

I looked at the Cazcan wikipidia page and it has a lot of sources. It looks pretty researched, I wish I could read it. I think the mention about the similarity to the Aztecs came from this page which is the first cited on the Wikipedia page

I don't know what it says but I can see Antonio Tello is mentioned in the first sentence.

Not quite sure if the Hacienda Carro of San Luis Potosi, is the one you are looking for. Before 1799, I believe it was under the jurisdication of Zacatecas. Some of my maternal line is there, but not sure who.

3rd PARAGRAPH should read: Rosario Arellano (my 4x great grandfather) and Catalina Flores's son NARCISO Arellano, (my 3 times great grandfather) died in 3/23/1908 in Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico. Narciso Arellano's death certificate indicates hilo legitimo de Rosalio Arellano y Catalina Flores however other grandchildren have Norveta Flores as Paternal Grandmother.

Comentario

Dear Xochil,

I wonder if Catalina and Norberta Flores are not the same person. Could Norberta Flores be a second wife that was much younger than her husband.

I would recommend looking at the records of the other grandchildren to look for small clues. Then check for a marriage dispensation just in case Norberta and Catalina are related and Norberta needed a marriage dispensa to get married to Rosalio. Remember to Look for a marriage record of Rosalio even after his sons presumed birthdate

Check out this information:

Norberta Flores is the daughter of Jose Zenon Flores and Geronima Castaneda

Descendants of Salvador Clemente De La Torre and Maria Alexandra De la Torre are descendants of Luis Lomellini

I was looking at old post on sharing when i found a comment that I made about hitting a dead end with Salvador Clemente De la Torre and his wife Maria Alexandra De La Torre.

Comentario

Hi there Rick. I also have been looking into old posts to see what I have missed during my relative dormancy, and there’s some interesting stuff. Your mention of De la Torre caught my attention because I too have a De la Torre dead end that I have not been able to surpass for a really long time. I was going to post about it, but you beat me to it.

I descend from Joseph de la Torre and Isabel de Benavides, vecinos de Tepatitlán. Joseph de la Torre and Ma. Isabel de Benabides were married on Monday, 17 FEB 1710, in Tepatitlán, Jalisco, México. Their marriage record literally reads as follows:

"Joseph de la Torre y Ysabel de Benabides, epañoles de esta feligrecia. ----- En el Pueblo de San Francisco de Thecpatitlán en Diez y siete Días de el mes de Febrero de mil setecientos y Diez años, casé por palabras de presente y velé in facie eclecie a Joseph de la Torre Español y a Ysabel de Benabides asi mismo Española Vecinos de esta feligrecia haviendo antes precedido sus declaraciones, información de su libertad y soltería y haverles amonestado inter missarum solemia tres Días festivos y no resultado impedimento ninguno, ni haverlo havido al tiempo de la celebración de el matrimonio fueron testigos, Juan de Mercado, Joseph Gutiérrez Español y otros más naturales que estuberion presentes; Padrinos, Andrés de la Torre y Doña Josepha del Castillo y Torre, y para que conste lo firmé . . . Juan de Portugal y Lozano (firma y rúbrica)."

Their marriage record is in Microfilm # 0218516, Marriages 1686-1735, Foja 48 vuelta. Tepatitlán, Jalisco, México. [I still have old citations from when I sourced them from Microfilms, but I have been methodically upgrading to the FamilySearch.org image citations]

As you can see the Acta does not mention the parents of Joseph and Isabel, and ever since I have been looking for a break-through. I have searched for a dispensa amongst their descendants to see if any of them needed marriage dispensations, but no luck. I suspect they were of course De la Torre-Ledesma and have recorded them as such. I have been looking for a connection to every family unit and marriage in his generation in the nearby Ranchos in Tepa, but to no avail; too many guesses…not enough answers.

I descend from Joseph and Isabel through their son Joseph-Nicolas de la Torre, and his wife Anna-Gertrudis Gutiérrez, through their daughter María del Carmen de la Torre, on my mother’s side.

Oh, and by the way could you PLEASE!!! Post the link for the dispensa you mention above, must be from Aguascalientes where they got married. I have a feeling the Luis de Lomelín & María del Olmo connection from Querétaro you are talking about that connects to the marriage dispensation of Salvador Clemente De la Torre and his wife María Alexandra De La Torre, is through María Alejandra de la Torre’s great-grandmother Regina de Villaseñor y Cuevas, married to Miguel de Hermosillo, isn’t it? ¿Verdad? What more do you know about Francisco de Villaseñor y Cuevas and his wife María de Lomelín, parents of Regina. My sources indicate they were “Vecinos de La Barca”. I bet you have delved deeper into their origins in the Obispado de Michoacán…¡Me imagino qué sí!

Bueno...hasta pronto

Tu primo,

Don Diego de Villaseñor casó el 1-jul-1637 en Morelia con Gertrudis de Cuevas Carbajal Samaniego según lo relata el padre Ibarrola en "familias y Casas de la Vieja Valladolid".

De esa pareja he localizado dos hijos :

Juana Villaseñor y Cuevas que casó en 1672 en Puruándiro con Nicolás de Ochoa Garibay (Ibarrola)

Francisca Villaseñor y Cuevas bautizada 18-ago-1661 en Angamacutiro, Mich. (LDS)

y muy probablemente Francisco de Villaseñor Cuevas el que casó con una María de Lomelín ya que ellos bautizan a José Cuevas Lomelín el 8-dic-1679 en Jocotepec,Jalisco. Este Francisco calculo yo que nació por 1640 y casó por 1665

Hubo otro Francisco de Cuevas que casó con otra María Lomelín, este fue Francisco de Cuevas Carbajal y su esposa fué María Villaseñor Lomelín bautizada el 3-may-1663 en Tocuitatlán, Jal.

Oh muchas gracias por los aportes a las familias Villaseñor, Cueva(s) y Lomelín. Con tus datos ya corregí lo que tenía. Me puse a leer las cartas de Jaime Holcombe y noté que él mismo también los mencionó.

Me queda obvio que me necesito conseguir mi copia propia del libro del Padre Ibarrola.

Steven,
Ese libro es una pérola en nuestros estudios michoacanos y jalicienes ya que la família Villaseñor se desenvolvió tanto en tal manera que su posteridad cubran una grande extensión de territorio. Lo he buscado por tres años y nada. Hasta recientemente he localizado dos posibilidades de encontrarlo uno en Morelia y otro en San Francisco, CA vamos ver lo que encontramos. Te deseo éxito en sus investigaciones y estoy muy feliz en tenerte por aquí de nuevo.

Tengo varios capítulos del "Familias y Casas de la Vieja Valladolid" que me proporcionó el señor Tony Campos, el real experto del Obispado de Michoacán. El tiene una copia la que yo podía consultar con frecuencia, y nomás por decidia le saque algunas copias, porque como está tan cerca se me hacía a la mano y de fácil acceso. Pero ya que me mudé de casa pues ya no es de tan fácil acceso. Me despegué de la genealogía por un tiempo por razones personales, pero estoy volviendo a poner toda mis cosas genealogicas en orden de nuevo, pero tengo mis cosas dispersadas y guardadas en cajas y no recuerdo exactamente donde quedaron. Mis libros publicados los tengo a la vista pero los que son copias de libros son los que no ubico por extraviados.

Para los que se encuentran en una circumstancia parecida y deseen localizar una copia del libro "Familias y casas de la vieja Valladolid" por Gabriel Ibarrola Arriaga y sacarle copia al libro entero ya que solo es de referencia y no se encuentra de venta por agotada la publicación. Las bibliotecas más cercanas donde tienen el libro en el Sur de California son Cal State Fullerton, también UC Irvine, y USC. Vean http://www.worldcat.org/title/familias-y-casas-de-la-vieja-valladolid/o…
para más información. Siempre es bueno tener más información ya que en la genealogia como en todo, no debemos juzgar antes de tener todas las piezas del rompecabezas. Cosas pasan por razones que a veces totalmente ignoramos, y pues pasan.

Yo iré pronto a Fullerton para sacarle copia al libro.

I am also very interested in getting a hold of this book or copies of this book. A few years ago I went looking for a book that I especially was interested in at ucla. Unfortunately the information from the worldcat catalog was not enough for for the librarians to find the book. I was totally disappointed. I thought that once you had the reference number it would be a piece of cake to find in the library. Since it was in a very rare book section I was not allowed to actually look for it myself. They never found the book. Good luck finding this book. Please let me know what you find.

Well I know that my dear old friend Tony Campos has an intact copy of the entire book.

The Worldcat catalog mentioned CSU Fullerton, UC Irvine, USC and a few others. I remember now, Tony Campos got his copy from Fullerton.

Fullerton is between his home and the Orange FHC where he did most of his research into the Obispado de Michoacan. He lives in Diamond Bar and would give a good excuse to pay him a visit.

Steven,
Thank your for your prompt response. I may ask you to make a copy of that book if my searches fail. I have contacted Morelia, Mexico City, Guanajuato, Guadalajara and some institutions in Madrid and nothing. I know the 1st edition is out of print, but recently they have reprinted into a modern edition in Morelia. I have one more bookstore I can email and see if they know anything. I was told they can also be purchased from a bookstore in San Francisco. I am growing inpatient as a genealogist, because I need it. I feel limited as to research without this book. I like you come from many of the principal families of the Bishopric of Michoacán. Méndez de Torres, Gutiérrez de Robles, Villaseñor, Martínez de Navarrete, Núñez de Sotomayor, Alvarez del Castillo are the least to mention. I could pay a service fee if you would like so you can get me a copy of the book when you go to Fullerton, if it not be any trouble.
When you go to Tony Campo's house, ask him if he has any additional information on the Méndez de Torres. I have only recently discovered through Mariano González Leal that the first or second gobernador de Michoacán after the independence was my relative Telésforo Méndez de Torres. I have also been in communication with Lic. Alejandro Mayagoitia in Mexico City who is getting me ready a certified copy of the probanzas de admitiación that my ancestors did for their admittance at the Real e Ilustre Colegio de Abogados de San Lorenzo in Mexico City in the beginning of the XIX century. I have been busy... :) Also, do you know if you have an extra copy of the Genealogical Journal, by SHHAR, vol I. It includes the Zamora Marriages from 1605-1622, 1638-1646 by Tony Campos and Ophelia Márquez. They also wrote about the Robledo family from Zamora and their connection in New Mexico. I have cousins from México City who including myself are extracting all the Spanish and Mestizos in the Zamora archives and hope to publish it in the near future. It will be a gold mine of information!
Un fuerte abrazo,Daniel

Hola a todos !

Tuve la suerte de adquirir el libro del Padre Ibarrola hace unos dos años y medio y no me decepcionó ya que yo había visto los extractos que aparecen en google books y se veía que contenía información sobre muchos apellidos, particularmente (además de mi apellido ) aparecía en las vistas previas el nombre del abuelo de unos grandes amigos míos de Morelia y deseaba yo investigar su genealogía. Efectivamente, al comprar el libro pude ver buena parte de los ascendientes de mis amigos que resultaron ser de los LLanos-Valdés y de los Ruíz de Contreras.

Respecto de los Méndez de Torres siento decepcionarte Daniel, pero no se encuentran en el libro, hay sí varios Méndez así a secas, otros Médez de Castro, Méndez de Orozco y Méndez Pérez-Gil. Realmente me sorprende que no aparezca información sobre los Méndez zamoranos ya que fue y sigue siendo uno de los apellidos más ilustres de esa ciudad.

Solo por mencionar a uno de sus conspicuos exponentes, a mediados del pasado siglo descolló el gran empresario zamorano Alfonso Méndez Ramírez el cual fue suegro de una amiga de mi esposa que lleva el apellido Sahagún , otro de los destacados apellidos zamoranos.

Yo llevo sangre Méndez ya que mi abuela paterna era Concepción García Méndez hija de Dortea Méndez pero ella era de La Piedad, Mich. y no he podido avanzar en esa línea.

It should read Nicolas Ochoa Garibay (Ibarlucea) The Ochoa family surname started out as Otxoa Ybarlucea (Ochoa Ibarlucea in Spanish). The family was Basque. They were from Elorrio.

Hello Steve,
You are right again, it is through my descendancy through Regina Villasenor y Cuevas. Though the marriage was in Aguascalientes, the marriage dispensation is in Guadalajara. When I found it, I would go back to it often because I was so thrilled to see what I had been looking many, many years. The diagram was a great find because it showed how they descended from two half siblings, from 2 different marriages, same father. The diagram is image 466 (1787 FHL source film 168072 Mexico)(Marriage dispensations Guadalajara)

Regina was married on 2feb 1689, La Barca Jalisco to Miguel Gonzalez de Hermosillo.

Diego Villasenor + Gertrudis de Cuevas
Francisco Villasenor (c. 1640 m1662) Maria Lomelin (1644)
Regina Villasenor Cuevas Lomelin (m2Feb1689) + Miguel Gonzalez de Hermosillo
I believe that francisco Villasenor and Maria Lomelin are related through the Villasenor Orosco and that she is the granddaughter of Luis LOMELI AND Maria de olmos. I am still gathering information to support this.

The source for Francisco's parents is not written down in my notes so I am very concerned with about where this information comes from. When I first started doing research I did not always document the source of my information. I learned my lesson and have been trying to reinvestigate much of my info to add sources. It was a big surprise to me to find out that this is a line that I need to reinvestigate.
I believe that the source is most likely Jaime Holcombe but I am not sure.
On Miguel hidalgos ancestry I did write all the sources down because there were so many already done that had little mistakes and I wanted to show evidence for every step. It wasn't until later that I realized that I need to do this for every bit of info.
Your de la torre line is living in the same location that Salvador Clemente de la torre and Maria Alejandra de la torre. He is most likely related to them. A grandfather of mine was born in Cerro Gordo, Tepatitlan .
The Patino were also related to this line. Juan de Villasenor married to Maria Patino.

Hello Steve,
One thing to remember when searching for information about people in the Los altos de Jalisco in 1600 and 1700 s is that many of them practiced a tradition started with some Italian Jews of naming their children with their grandparents names, including surnames. Look for Isabel with a different last name. Check out their descendents for any clues as to a possible last name. You already know about this but we sometimes need reminders.
A couple of years ago I was reminded by Daniel Mendez that the h and f were interchangeable in these centuries. Even though I already knew this information, I had overlooked some key data because I did not keep this on my mind at times when working on a couple Of lines. I immediately went back over my info and found an important baptismal certificate. I then was also able to solve another puzzle that I had been working on for a long time.

The practice of naming children after grandparents and great grandparents was found in certain jewish families in Italy and parts of Spain. Not all Jews practiced this though. Some jewish groups thought it was disrespectful to name a child after their grandparent if the grandparent was still alive. In Italian papers I saw the order of how they were supposed to name their kids according to their order of birth. If a child died in infancy it threw the order off as some people named the next child after the one that died. Or if both grandmothers had the same name then it caused more confusion. This practice did not last long, and only in certain families.

Joseph and Ysabel are my 6th great grandparents on my maternal line.

Nicholas de la Torre, married to Ana Gertrudis Gutierrez de Hermosillo are my 5th great grandparents.

Also, I just requested the book, Familias y Casas de Vallalodid, from our storage facility at USC. I will probably have my hands on it tomorrow morning. If so, I'll let you all know. The copyright is 1969, however, so don't know about making a complete copy of the book.

Anyways, I just wanted to begin a conversation with new found "Primos."

Mucho gusto conocerte,

Well it seems we descend not only from Joseph de la Torre and Isabel Benavides, but also from their son Nicolas, and his wife Anna-Gertrudis Gutierrez de Hijar y Mendoza Hermosillo. In fact I descend from the Gutierrez line twice.

Despues platicamos...

Steven Francisco Hernández López

Comentario

Dear Steve,

Even though Jose De la torre and Isabel Benavides are named as vecinos de Tepatitlan, I wouldn't be surprised if they were were born in Teocaltiche or Nochistlan Zacatecas as that is when many families migrated from that area to los altos de Jalisco. I have ancestors from those locations that moved to tepa and Jalos. The ones that went to Jalos were easier to trace back to Teocaltiche and Nochistlan because they added more information in their records. The ones that went to tepa were harder as sometimes they were more inconsistent as to providing this info. Since tepa and Jalisco weren't so far apart you could sometimes find the information recorded twice in both locations, with the Jalos record providing extra data. For example, my maternal grandfather came from families from the Jalos /San Miguel el alto area but he was born between Tepa and Jalos, much closer to Tepa, and the ranch was recognized as being under tepatitlan jurisdiction. His baptismal record is found inTepas records. But his baptism is also recorded for a second time in Jalostotitlan. This record provides a little bit more information and is beautifully handwritten so it is not a struggle to read the words.

The records you are looking for may be in Jalos, Teocaltiche or Nochistlan, Zacatecas as there is a presence of the de la torre Ledesma and Benavides in these areas.

The De la Torre Ledesma line leads back to Spain where two brothers are caught in mortal combat. We have already proven descent from one of these brothers. The "right hand" of the other brother that we do not descend from is the ancestor of the De la torre Ledesma. The "right hand" of the brother that we do descend from is the brother of an ancestor of ours. The story of where they all come together to meet and fight and what happens afterwards is a big story. The importance of the "right hand" men in the story and how it leads to a change in the family surname in order for one of the men's descendants to distance himself from his ancestors politics. The change in surname did what it was supposed to do and allowed these descendants to continue living in the same area and Move to the winning side, unlike their ancestor who was forced to flee to Portugal. We descend from the line with the changed surname.

Many people posted genealogies of his descent but they are missing generations and have mistakes as to the wives. The mistakes in the wives are understandable as these genealogists had most likely family tree listing the mothers with missing generations and family trees of the fathers missing generations,( missing different generations) so when they put it together the wives and husbands were put together in a wrong order. Sometimes the confusion came from someone having two wives and a mistaken genealogist considered one of the wives the wife of a similar named son. These family trees all skip a very important generation.this generation is important but is usually left out because people had assumed a direct son to son hand me down of the surname but in reality the surname skips a generation and comes from a maternal side. It goes son to son to daughter, to son. I have documentation from a second source that confirms this added generation. The daughter actually uses a different surname but her father and son do share the same family surname. This added generation also is important because it leads to Irish ancestors. I had previously not found any confirmed Irish ancestors. Now we can toast to some Irish ancestors on St Patrick's day.
.
This added generation also explains the story attached to his family as to being a descendant of a certain office. Not every person that has an office becomes so attached to the office that it seems to become part of the surname. Titles of nobility often become part of the "name" but titles referring to an office are not always attached as if it were part of the name.

This line also connects our ancestors to a legend that has a basis of truth that comes from the struggle for rights in England. That is a Story left for another time.

Comentario

Dear Steve,

Did you ever find the parents of Joseph de la Torre Ledesma and Isabel de Benavides? I have put aside all my other genealogy work for a few weeks and have only been working on the de la Torre Ledesma lines. The de la Torre Ledesma has become a big chapter in my book since it now connects to other ancestors of founding families in Spain. This coming Christmas vacation I hope to spend time in a few far off libraries gathering more information on the de la Torre Ledesma lines. My paternal grandmother is De La Torre.

Have a website that includes some of the older Reynoso y Renteria families from Moyahua and Juchipila parishes, and also some Reynoso families from Jalostotitlan, Mezquital, and Cuquio.

It is not inclusive of all Reynoso families, and it is still very early for research of these Reynoso y Renteria families. Link included below. My wife or I are not known to be directly related to these families, but when researching my spouse Lozano and Renteria families, found many of these Reynoso records; and decided to share, hopefully helping others.

follows:
Diego Reynoso was the father of Alejo Reynoso, who was the father of Gertrudis

Pedro stated Antonio de Luna to be his vis-abuelo materno (maternal great grandfather)

Alejandro was consistently listed as the husband of Carmen de Luna in Moyahua
records, except for one entry where he was was listed as the husband of Xaviera
Plasencia. Believe this Xaviera Plasencia was actually the mother of Alejandro,
and cleric was in error. No evidence of a second marriage for Alejandro, as
he listed his wife as Carmen de Luna on death record.

Testament of Juan Montañez

Thank you, Danny, Manny, Paige, Chris and Armando for introducing me to Dropbox. I’ve created a folder "Juan Montañez Testament" and scanned my 2003 transcription of his 1648 testament.

Maria Lou,

In case you don't already have this, here is the carta de dote of Diego Martin Saldana, giving an account of what he received from Maria de Ruelas, at the time he married Teresa de Sotomayor. It includes an inventory. It's dated 19 Sep 1661 - years after the marriage, he says he didn't have a chance to do it, at the time he married, since he was always out in the fields.
