Mooskies,

I don't know what your name is, therefore I'll address you by your e-mail name.

I do have some Serna's in my files from Nochistlan, Zac and while I'm not related to them they are prominent. They originally came from La Leonera near Jalpa Zacatecas. La Leonera was a mining community, so you might want to look deeper into Jalpa and Nochistlan Zacatecas and maybe even Juchipila.

Alicia,
San Jose, Calif

Subject: [Nuestros Ranchos] Sernas-Esparsa-Ruis of La Presa Ags.- Tabasco-Agostaero-Jalpa / Opinions on the Path of Origin & Direction of Settlement.

I am asking for researchers opinions and supporting records for the paths of Sernas Origin in these areas.
The lines I have in my database of 3000 people, from 1790 to 1900 which is 95% + only from the Calvillo, Ags. church records.
The Sernas of My Direct lines early records came from Agostadero and Arroyo de Soto Settling in Media Luna. Some settled in La Presa. I have seen some documents indicating some movement between Teocaltiche, Jal. & Villa Hidalgo, Jal. which is another area of concentrated Serna Families. I have almost no evidence of Origin refering to Ags.,Ags. but I have never reviewed the Aguascalientes records. While Ags. became a direction of settlement. In my case the earliest data seems to be in the "Black Hole" records of Tabasco, Zac. Huanusco,Zac. Jalpa, Zacatecas. I have been unable to decide what direction to continue research when future records become available. Notchistlan,Jal. ? Villa Hidalgo, Jal. Tepatitlan, Jal. Or Tabasco & Huanusco, Zac.
If John Schmale, Daniel Menedez C. , Rose Hardy or anyone else has contibutions I would be happy to hear it.
Estoy pidiendo opiniones de los investigadores y expedientes favorables para las trayectorias del origen de Los Sernas en estas áreas. Las líneas que tengo en mi base de datos de 3000 personas, a partir la 1790 a 1900 que es el 95% + solamente del Calvillo, Ags. expedientes de la iglesia.
Los Sernas de mis líneas directas expedientes vino temprano de Agostadero y de Arroyo de Soto Settling en los medios Luna. Algunos colocaron en el La Presa. He visto algunos documentos el indicar de un cierto movimiento entre Teocaltiche, Jal. & Hidalgo del chalet, Jal. cuál es otra área de las familias concentradas de Serna.

Tengo poca evidencia de la referencia temprana al Ags., Ags. en mi caso los datos más tempranos parecen estar en el " Hole" negro; expedientes de Tabasco, Zac. Huanusco, Zac. Jalpa, Zacatecas. He no podido decidir qué dirección para continuar la investigación cuando los expedientes futuros están disponibles. Notchistlan, Jal. ¿? Hidalgo del chalet, Jal. Tepatitlan, Jal. O & de Tabasco; Huanusco, Zac
Si Juan Schmale, Daniel Menedez C., Rose Hardy o cualquier persona otra tiene contibutions, me alegaria de oírlo. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

Like you there is a "black hole" in my research as well. Until the Jalisco and Zacatecas go online I am waiting. Once they go online I will tackle areas surrounding Calvillo to the west, north and south. I am even considering Sierra de Pinos. I have already gone through every film in Aguascalientes.

Just like what I'm doing in Sonora right now, I have a cousin who I am working with. We have several surnames we are tackling....we are taking a town or two at a time, selecting a time period and scouring the films until we go through them all looking for our lines....process of elimination as a team.

I have found one of my Calvillo lines in Calvillo coming from Tepatitlan, Jalisco. So that is another area that I will be looking into.

Sometimes are no easy answers in genealogy...I've been doing this for 20 years, before there were digital records and Nuestros Ranchos....but ordering films by the hundreds.
