Hello

I am researching the link between the Romo family of San Buenaventura and Nadadores in northern Mexico, and the Romo de Vivar family of Aguascalientes.

I have found out that a man named Don Jose Raphael Romo and his son Manuel, both from Aguascalientes, came to Nadadores where Manual married Maria Ygnacia Rodriguez in 1816. Their children were born in Nadadores. However, one of their sons, Don Tomas Romo, married a woman named Maria Luciana Espinosa, and their children were born in San Buenaventura. One of their sons, Don Jesus Romo, married Dona Josefa Bustamante in San Juan Bautista in Lampazos de Naranjo. where most of their children were born, including my great grandmother Genoveva Romo, who as a teenager fled across the border to escape an arranged marriage. In San Antonio, she met and married a man from Italy, but her family from Mexico eventually also came to San Antonio.

The information about the title Don and Dona comes from the marriage records I have seen through Family Search (images of the pages from the marriage books), as did the note about where Jose Raphael and Manual came from.

I am currently reviewing the marriage records for Sagrario, Aguascalientes, late 1700s, trying to find the marriage record for Jose Raphael Romo and Maria Rafaela Agulilar, who is named as the mother of Manual in his record of marriage (she is desceased by that time, 1816). However, it is slow going, as I often get the message "Please try again later". I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT WHO THE PARENTS OF JOSE RAPHAEL ROMO WERE.

Therefore, if anyone had seen a reference to a Jose Raphael Romo from Aguascalientes, or a Maria Rafaela Aguilar from Aguascalientes, I would much appreciate a tip (cite the original source and internet link if possible). I have already exhausted the leads in the digitalized records in LDS, which is why the only way forward are the images of the original records, and this forum.

If there is anyone else who has a Romo ancestor from the above-mentioned villages/towns, I would be more than willing to post the genealogy I sent to the moderator of this site.

Hello

I am still searching for the marriage record for Don Joseph Raphael Romo and Maria Rafaela Aguilar. I have earlier posted some Romo names I have come across. Below is one more Romo which I found in the indexed FamilySearch source. The names of the parents are the same as for Joseph Raphael Prudencio Romo Alba b. 1765. So in other words there were two Raphael Romos born in the same decade, same place, same parents, and the question is which one married Maria Rafaela...then next question is if the Maria Rafaela mother of Manuel Romo who later moved San Buenaventura, is indeed the Maria Casilda Rafaela Aguilar Chaves who was born in Aguascalientes in 1763.

So if anyone out there has the record of birth/christening for Manuel Romo, from Aguascalientes, married to Maria Ygnacia Rodriguez in San Buenaventura, or the marriage record for Rapahel Romo and Maria Raphaela Aguilar of Aguascalientes, please post.

I have been through the Ag. Ag. Sagr. records for 1782 - 1787, and 1787 - 91, minus the ones that didnt show properly (which I am now rechecking) and have had no luck.

I have not been able to explore the church records for the image of Silvestres record of birth, due to technical issues with downloading the images, otherwise I'd of course make it available. But here is the basic info for anyone researching the Romos...

There was another man named Raphael Romo, married to Maria Hurvana Lira, who lived in San Buenaventura at least from 1816 and at least up through 1825. This I have seen via the LDS records of the births of their children:

1804 Maria Romualda
1805 Maria Eulogia
1807 Jose Ydilfonso
1812 Maria Ambrosia
(FOUND: india, image 61, entry 520 in baptims, sagr. metro, Saltillo, 1811 - 1816)
1816 Maria Felipe
1820 Jose Fruto
1825 Rafael de Jesus

However, the grandparents are named in some of the entries, and they are not the names listed in the marriage record for Manual Romo. I have concluded they are not brothers. This Rafaels parents were Antonio Romo and Maria Antonia Velasco. One child is listed as india, another as mestiza (Romualda). The Romos I am looking for are listed as espanoles.

In case someone needs more details on these Romos, here is the link to the lds page with the search results:
https://familysearch.org/search/records/index#count=20&query=%2Bgivenna…

I also have noted marriages of other Romos I have seen in the images, I will post them also this weekend.
