Hello everyone,

I've been trying to read the record for the marriage of Simon Montano and Maria Nicolasa Sanchez but the handwriting is very difficult to read.

Hello all,

Have any of you ever done research in the actual Parish in Mexico?

I am asking, because in about 3 weeks, I will be going to Mexico. And
if possible I will try find some information at the parish and
cemetary level.

So could anyone give me some pointers, on what to expect? Or the best
way to approach the subject?

Thanks,
Jonathan

My great grandfather Bernardo del Real (Herrera) was born in Cuisco, Jal.
I can not locate this town on any map. Was it integrated into Colotlan?

Hello Everyone!

I am curious about what was Real De Asientos for in Aguascalientes and if there were those places in other towns of Mexico?

Also what is a Mercader?

I found this link with nice pictures of old Haciendas. I had seen this one in tierras/escrituras microfilm. On the right side there is a list of other Haciendas you can look at:

I read somewhere that in some census in the 20th century Mexicans were declared White for census purposes. It changed from decade to decade.

I want to look up "Angon" in the Zacatecas or Jalisco area years 1600 - 1750's.

Thank you very much for the detailed information on how the original rancho
de Joan de Angon (1633) became Estancia Rio Chico in 1681 and finally
changed to Hacienda Santa Rosa.

While researching the ancestry of my fifth great-grandmother Lorenza de Aguilar y García de Alba (born 1740 in Cocula, Jalisco), I discovered that she descended through her maternal line from Francis

Juliana Francisca Isabel was the youngest daughter of the Conde Don Fernando De La Campa Y Cos of the Hacienda San Mateo of Valparaiso, Zacatecas, Mexico.

My name is Bob Lozano, and this is my first posting. During my retirement I
have been researching my genealogy and found that my Lozano lineage goes
back to Rio Chico, in Jalisco.

I present this information just in case anyone in the group happens to be
related to the families mentioned below.
