Well, John and Helyn,

 

My father and his mother continue to elude me, but maybe they are helping me to help others.  Little voices just keep telling me to look in the state death records or in the IGI under different spellings.  I cannot recreate how I do it; it seems to be intuitive.  Now if I could only get that inspiration on my own elusive relatives.  By the way, John, you may be
on your way to finding the Cerros all the way back to Spain.  The original name was Del Cerro over there.  Doesn't "cerro" mean "mountain"?

I agree with you about Emilie, she is one of the
Angels.

 

This year

I have been corresponding with this man for the last week and I will 
be meeting with him during my upcoming trip to Mexico.  He has 
proposed doing research in the Zacatecas state archives for a monthly 
stipend.  I was wondering if there is anybody who is intereste and 
would be willing to "try him out".  His name is Leonardo de La Torre 
Berumen and he is the municipal archivist in Jerez.

This year, Emilie, broke through the ole adobe wall, and cleared the way for my Robles line. I had been attempting to find this line for about 8 years. Prior to the inception of the Rancho Group, Emilie also made assisted me with my Magallanas line...I second the motion.

Hi Emilie:

 

You are right!!! The Genealogy Gods are  still
with me and you must be one of their Angels!

If we had a prize or title "Researcher of the Year"  I would certainly nominate you for  it.  The things you do are  nothing short of AMAZING.!!!

 

That IS my grandfather from Pánuco, Zacatecas.  I knew it the instant I saw the last name  "Godina".

 

Thank you.

John, approximately 12 years ago I met a gentleman
from the Somos Primos genealogical group at the
Westwood Latter Day Saints library.  I don't remember
his name but he was a distant relative of my wife
Rebeca Gutierrez Gonzalez; although she did not
remember him.  He told me he also was from the same
Gonzales-Casillas family branch from Los Altos, like
my wife.  

He helped me to interpret a 1797 Jerez marriage
document written in Spanish.  Anyway, this gentleman
had genealogical charts of over 2200 past relatives
that started in Los Altos and went all the way back to
to the year 1200 in Spain. 

If you are able contact him, I'm sure he would be more
that happy to share his findings with you.  Also, the
gentlemen looked like an Anglo (typical of many of
those from Los Altos, fair, tall, blue eyes); his
English and Spanish were excellent and he seemed very
well educated, and friendly.  He told me that he lived
in San Fernando Valley and was a software programmer. 

If you contact the

John:
I've seen Jerez baptism records from the late 1800s to
the early 1900s.  I requested these records
(microfiche) a couple of years ago from our local LSD
library.  So they do exist.

Is anyone on this list familiar enough with Guadalajara to have
information on this chocolateria?

La Sultana Gran Chocolateria, Molino y Tostador De
Cafe.  It was located Av. Alvaro Obregon 295 in Guadalajara.  Aurelio

Reyes, Villasenor is also on the letterhead. It was established in
1900. My parents were there in 1941. I believe it was owned by
members of the de la Torre family.

Adolfo de la Torre owned several ranches around Guadalajara and
Tepatitlan de Morelos. His sister, Sophia de la Torre married
Castulo Romero, a tailor from Guadalajara. They lived in Tepatitlan
de Morelos ca. 1890-1910.

Thank you.
