Thank you, Daniel. 
You are right about people traveling in my area.  My ancestors are from La Barca, Portezuelo, Jamay, Ocotlan, Guadalajara and I think surrounding areas.  I guess I should start by ordering the marriage record of Vicente Vaca and Dolores Ortiz.

Thanks again.

Hi Esther, its Daniel Mendez! Well I found this (below) not

sure if you have it. We are dealing with Portozuelo,

this might be a bit of a task considering in Los Altos

there was much changes in borders, new cities being created

ownership of land changing. Well Portuzulo is near other

major towns in Los Altos; all whom were customed to travel

to those places and back.

I call: Tepatitlan, La Barca and Ayo el Chico (Ayotlan) and Ocotlan.

It will be common to see people from all this places travel back and

forth; even San Miguel el Alto a bit further north. Have you checked

this other places? I did find Vicente's and Dolores' Marriage.

Alessandro,
Hello, and thank you! This is great. You have given me new ideas to continue my research. I will begin to look into those areas you suggested.

May your life be full of joy! -Esther

Esther, I greet you and send you a big hug. I think I can give you some tips
about Portezuelo. First, i want to tell you that I visited several times
Portezuelo several years ago because I had a friend who was born next town
(town´s name is El Tarengo in ancient time and actually it is named Villa
Garcia de Marquez). On that time when I visited his family there with him we
were doing genealogical research for his family and I visited several places
arround. What I can tell you about Portezuelo is that indeed they have
principaly civil records, most of it´s church records are in La Barca
precisely. The usage of the people in that region in anceint times was the
following: the familyis went either to La Barca or to Atotonilco el Alto. In
those 2 places you will find the christening registers for most of the families
from Portezuelo. There are several town arround named: Milpillas, Margaritas,
Sta. Rita, El Tarengo and others that I do not recall now.

Hope this info helps you

Best regards

LIC. ALESSANDRO VITELA

Ser de Luz!!!

I don't know if we connect yet. I do have a Francisco Vaca (aka Cabesa de
Baca) b. about 1758 married to Lugarda Cuevas (aka De la Cueva) b. abt 1761,
married 12 February 1781, San Francisco de Asis, Ixtlan, Michoacan.

Some of their children were:
Jose Rafhael Cavesa Cueva, b. 11 Jan. 1796, San Francisco, Tamazula de
Gordiano, Jalisco (C603753 1783-1804, film #0225985.)

*Vicente Vaca, b. 1797 (my direct line). *I have info for them but I need
to confirm some dates.

Jose (Josse) Miguel Salome Cabeza Cuevas, ch. 7 July 1789, San Agustin,
Jacona de Placarte, Michoacan

I was hoping to work on this line but just haven't had time to do so. Maybe
this would be a good time and start working on it. :-)

I'll keep your names and see if I find anything.
