Anyone have Mariano Olmos in there tree? If so...I've been trying for months to figure out who Mercedes Saldivar's parents are. I THOUGHT she may have come from the Duran's, but not sure. My GEDmatch number is KK6796917, my Father's is LM2514076, my Father is an Aguilar Saldivar, my Paternal Great Grandfather was Higinio Saldivar Macias (under Zaldivar or Saldivar Macias in documents), he was married to my Great Grandma Luciana Navarro Huizar, his Father was Atanasio Saldivar Duran who married MA del Refugio Macias. Then my 3rd GG was Esteban Saldivar Esqueda with Bacilia Duran, and the family goes on from there. I know Mercedes married Mariano S. Olmos who was also married to Maria Luevano...but I can't figure out who Mercedes' parents are...anyone know? I've searched everywhere! The baptismal records, the marriage records, and nothing. TIA!!

Daniel,

To date, most of my ancestors are from Nochistlan, they include, Avelar, Aguayo, Duran, Ruiz, Ruiz de Esparza, Ortega, Munos, Bermejo, Olmos, Jauregui, Rubalcava, Olasaba, Garcia.

My father's lines were Avelar Aguayo, Garcia, Munos, Duran, Bermejo from El Monte de los Duranes in Nochistlan Zacatecas.

I have several lines of Duran, Munos, Aguayo, Ruiz de Esparza and Olmos, these are the most prominent lines that repeat over and over again. Having said all this, I am not as far back in my research as you appear to be, therefore my information would be of little value to you as it's still in the 1800's. Maybe some day when I have more time to dedicate to research, I'll be able to touch on some of your lines.

Saludos,

Alicia..San Jose, Ca.

Subject: [Nuestros Ranchos] Teocaltiche and Nochistlan Help

Hi all, thanks to George Fulton I was able to extend my tree a couple generations more, I want to ask if anyone has info on these
Eugenio Lozano was son of Jose Lozano and Petronila Gonzalez aka Petrona de Macias y Valades, aka Petronila de Retamosa. What puzzles me is how did Petronila use Macias, Gonzalez and Retamosa, Her ancestor was prob the famous Retamosa matriarch.I found their marriage in Teocaltiche 23 feb 1666. Havent been able to order it, wonder if anyone has Teocalitche films or has these records. On the other side Maria Duron (Duran) daughter of Jose Andres Duran and Juana Asencion Vasquez y Sandoval. Andres is son of Juan Simon Duran and Regina de Aguayo. Does anyone have info on these Nochistlan Families? Aguayo, Duran, Vasquez and Sandoval. Thanks, Daniel

Daniel,

How do you know that Petronila de Retamosa is the same as Petrona Macías
Valadez, aka Petrona González de Gardea? I'm not sure the 23 Feb 1666
marriage of Joseph Lozano to Petronila de Retamosa in Teocaltiche is for the
same couple. Hopefully you have positive identification.

Eugenio Lozano married María Durán Vázquez ca. Feb 1697 probably in
Nochistlán. The Durán family is from Nochistlán and marriages were usually
at the bride's hometown. For additional information about the Durán family
see the book "Nochistlán, Zacatecas. Su Parroquia, Los Durán y otras
Familias antiguas. Estudio Histórico-Genealógico" by Ing. Jesús Durán
Rodríguez (1991). A wonderful book, but unfortunately out of print. Mr.
Durán Rodríguez died a few years ago.

Durán and Durón are totally different surnames, both found in
Aguascalientes. Make sure you don't confuse them. What information are you
looking for? I may be able to help you.
