Dear Friends and Primos:

With so much talk about the importance of the Hispanic/Latino vote in the upcoming election, our presence still seems to be somewhat invisible, historically and currently.

There are several articles on that subject under United States. Also, on the subject of invisibility, don't miss, the two articles, El
Vaquero: Missing in US History written by Joe Lopez.

The heritage project, The Spanish Presence in Americas Roots, SPAR is moving forward. I am serving as CEO, Co-chaired by Judge Edward Butler.
We will soon have a website in place. We are trying to prove the historic presence of our antepasados in the history of the United States and the Americas.

Have you had your DNA done? Do you have indigenous markers? SPAR would love to hear from you. My maternal mitochondrial DNA is indigenous, plus I also have indigenous lines on my paternal side. SPAR would like to prove that we with southwestern Mexican heritage are living proof that the early history and foundation of the United States was formed primarily by families of mixed southern Europeans and indigenous heritage.

SPAR welcomes interest, support, and involvement of any nature, a paragraph, a sentence, or a family story which emphasizes the fact of your mixed heritage would be very welcomed. If you have questions, comments, please email or call me: Thank you for caring that our story be told.

Warmly, Mimi Lozano

Hello Nuestros Ranchos Forum,

I'm looking for information on this couple that married may 7 1803 named
Don Jose Maria Romo de Vivar and Guadalupe Martin del Campo. It doesn't
list his parents but her parents are Don Vicente Martin del Campo and Maria
Francisca something, I cant really tell. but I was wondering if anyone in
the Forum knows this couple or her parents. I cant find them on family
search or on the Wikitree or in Nuestros Ranchos. Does anyone know the
parents of Jose MAria Romo de Vivar or where Don Vicete Martin del Campo
fits in with the Martin del Campo family

The discussion regarding the Nieto Corona's got me looking at my Nieto line which originates in Valle de Armadillo, SLP with Esteban Nieto and Ana Rodriguez she is also listed as Ana Diaz. One of their sons Agustin Nieto married 3 times. First to Angela del Castillo on 2 July 1691 in Armadillo, second to Felipa de Cervantes 11 September 1703 and lastly to my 6th great grandmother Maria de Villalobos on 11 February 1714 in Aguascalientes. From this couple I descend from two of their sons, Francisco Javier and Jose Agustin. Francisco Javier married Eugenia Ruiz de Esparza on 27 April 1755 in Aguascalientes. Jose Agustin married Rosalia Ruiz de Esparza (sister of Eugenia) on 3 June 1753 in Aguascalientes. Both Eugenia and Rosalia are daughters of Jose Miguel Ruiz de Esparza and Josefa Manuela de Chavez. Does anyone have information on the parents of Esteban Nieto and his wife Ana Rodriguez?

Thanks
Austin Perez

Soy descendiente de MIGUEL DE ALCALA Y MENDOZA ( Hurtado de Mendoza), hijo de Lucas de Alcalá y Orozco y Juana Aviña Hurtado de Mendoza, es una linea que aunque ya prácticamente completa me interesa compartir lo relacionado a estos personajes. También investigo el apellido Camberos siendo mi referente de ancestro JOSEPH MARTIN CAMBEROS MONTES DE OCA Y MARIA CLARA DE ARIAS Y MONROY. Asi como los apellidos de mis abuelos DIAZ DE SANTA ANNA originarios de Tecolotlán, Jalisco, los Jiménez de San Diego de Alejandría, Jalisco. El apellido DE LEON, TABARES Y TAVAREZ de Degollado, Jalisco. Los Villaseñor descendientes del conquistador JUAN DE VILLASEÑOR Y OROZCO. Los Gutiérrez Guzmán de Tuxcacuesco, Jalisco. Y lo relacionado con THOMAS DE VILLANUEVA CERVANTES Y ANTONIA CASILDA CURIEL de Zapotlanejo, Jalisco. He ido integrando una investigación desde hace 3 años, mi experiencia es modesta pero espero compartir y seguir aprendiendo en la investigación de ancestros a los cuales atesoro los lazos de consanguinidad e historia que podemos tener de la familia por este medio de la Genealogía. Saludos y éxito a todos en su investigación.

Feliz día !

Hola primos y primas,

I have a question for those of you who are researching this line: are Pedro de Castañeda and Jacinta de Sotomayor, also known as Antonio Jimenez de Castañeda and Jacinta de las Ruelas?

On p63 of his "Cartas," Don Jaime Holcombe says in the early Pinos index, listed are Pedro Jimenez de Castañeda and Jacinta Martinez de Sotomayor. I’ve never seen him listed as “Jimenez,” nor her as “Martinez,” but this would logically establish her as a child of Andres Martin and Maria de Ruelas. He also points out how, on some records, he is called Antonio Jimenez, and then he mentions another couple in the appendix, “Antonio Jimenez de Castañeda y su esposa, Jacinta de las Ruelas.”

From dispensations, we know that Jacinta de las Ruelas, married to Antonio Jimenez de Castañeda, was daughter of Andres Martin Camacho and Maria de Ruelas; are she and Jacinta de Sotomayor one and the same person, and would anybody have any information to verify this?

I don't descend from this line, but she is a collateral ancestor, and reconciling the 2 Jacinta's would clarify some things in my lines - and basically, rock my world.

Thanks for any assistance!
Manny Diez Hermosillo

Agradeceré que me inscriba saludos

Feliz día !

In this dispensa there are two contreras mentioned of which I am searching the parents of Nicolas Contreras 1640 of Teocaltiche who married luebana and elvira luisa delgado tiscareno but the records do not have his parents.

Nicolas aside, this dispensa has the parents of maria de ulloa as mariana de ulloa vdo de Pedro (can't read the shorthand) and Francisco Contreras circa 1579 (there is a record in Tlaxcala for a francisco contreras born). the parents of Francisco Villa (not sure it is villasenor or something else) married to Beatris de Contreras. The following is the Dispensa

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-6XS4-KT

If someone with a much better eye can either confirm or correct the names that I think I read, I would be much appreciative. Oh and if you can include where they are from.

Mariana de Ulloa's familysearch ID is L2NH-VVF. There is a record of mariana and a pedro contreras married but it is in 1679 too late for this one, but it could be a mistake need to locate marriage record of 26 Augu 1679 to confirm it is correct date.

Thanks for the help, Simona
​

The word you are reading is "rasa" not "vasa." It is a term used in the
liempiza de sangre (purity of blood) documents where witnesses testify that
they know of no Jewish, Muslim or even Lutheran ancestry in the person's
family tree.

Danny thank you for the help and the interesting history of this couple! Not
sure if it is the same Thomas de la Puente, but he certainly fits the bill.
There is another one that is Tomas and Maria Ruis that are not them since
the children of Thomas and Maria Ruis are labelled Espl and there is another
record of tomas married to a sotomayor. I now have to find records of
marriages. As for this Dispensa that is not recorded in the marriage that I
could read 3 generations are given because they are 2nd cousins. I do have
them in my family as in-laws today, tomorrow they could be grandparents who
knows. Anyway, what was more interesting was the different testigos all
stating that the young couple did not know they were cousins but Esteban
Munos stated he overheard they were from his wife Xsabel Nieto. In the
beginning was the priest stating that they had been cleaned of their blood
"the limpiesa de sangre" de toda mala vasa de judios, Moros and they stated
this again and again. I had read it in books but not seen it written. Don't
know what Vasa means. Thanks again for your help here is the Dispensa. the
record ID for Ysabel de Carrion is 9QTN-HK8 ?

Hola, primos y primas.

I just returned from Tepechitlan Zacatecas.
I am currently in Guadalajara, Jalisco. I am staying with family but there no internet. I meet a family that possibly might be my descendent. I am looking for the parents of Blas Luna and Teresa Gutierres. They had a son named Antonino Luna who married Maura Ruiz Garcia.
I did find Antonino and Marua on familysearch.org. I also found there children Santiago,Genoveva, Juanita,Jonita, but I cant find the parents of Blas Luna(De Luna)

Primos and primas do you happen to have any info on Blas Luna parents?

Gracias y saludos

It is about 10 pages can anyone help read it. I have rodriguez and amaya's in my line but have not linked them. Thanks!

Dear Friends and Primos:

Happy New Year. The beginning of the year is always a reminder that we can start fresh, with resolutions to make changes, improving our lives and surroundings. With that same intent, you will see changes in both the format and articles included in Somos Primos. To facilitate reading, I've included more 2 and 3 column layouts and have limited the length of the issue.

Most of us have a general understanding of US history; but, I've added a new category, Historic Tidbits. This section will include little known historic facts. These tidbits will serve as reminders, and will be easy to share with others. The Tidbits can fortify and reinforce your individual efforts to clarify our historic presence in the development
of the United States. We are too many to be invisible . . .
understanding our presence is needed.

A recent comment on the televised history program, stated Collective Learning is what makes humans different from other animals. Something to think about. The ability to share what we have learned scientifically has produced changes so quickly that for many of us, it is difficult to keep up. Through the power of the Internet, sharing is at a state, never before imaged. In the late 40s, I remember party-line telephones, now each individual can connect virtually with the world on a little hand-held phone; but, what are we sharing?

I am really grateful for Cuentos being shared by readers. I read about courage, compassion and strength of character that drives individuals. I read about the love that we have for one another, the admiration, and the pride in the accomplishments of family members, or even someone with the same surname.. It is the accumulation of all our personal stories which explain who we are.

Please share your stories. They don't have to be long, but rather focused on a special, treasured memory, funny, sad, crazy, happenstance, tradition. There is a reason that you remember it.

For February, Valentine Month, it would be wonderful to share stories about your Abuelitos y Abuelitas, Tios y Tias, or your sweetheart, your children's successes. Maybe there is someone in your life, not necessarily a family member, but someone who made a difference in your life. . . honor their memory. Share it, as if you were telling a story. Your memory of them matters.

Larry Garza adds a spiritual vision, with a dimension is difficult to
grasp: "I believe the Internet is one of the greatest Breakthroughs in the history of the human race. It will be an eternal record until there is an apocalypse of the human race. Once it's on the Internet it becomes an eternal record."

God bless, Mimi

i think it is the same couple. Miguel lopez de la Cerda married Maria
Magdalena Lozano in 1635 so he probably was born around 1611. I
think your Francisco Lopez and Francisca Ramirez de los Angeles is probably
the right parents of Miguel Lopez de la Cerda. Her using Ramirez is a good
clue. Miguel is on the Wikitree here if you want to see the information
Austin has found on this family.

I came across 1611 Guadalajara baptismal record for a Migel Lopez, son of Francisco Lopez and Francisca Ramirez De Los Angeles. Would this be the same couple as parents of Agustin Lopez de La Cerda and Miguel Lopez de la Cerda? Don't know if others have come across this record and would like opinions. I am aware that in Agustin's marriage record in 1634, Francisco and Francisca are listed as living in Zacatecas. Any thoughts?

Buenas tardes,
Les paso este mensaje que me mandaron del AGN en la Cd. de México.
Saludos cordiales,
Victoriano Navarro

Apreciable usuario:

En febrero de 2016, durante su visita al Archivo General de la Nacion (AGN), podra conocer y disfrutar del documento original de la genealogia de la familia Mendoza Austria Moctezuma desde su origen hasta Baltazar de Mendoza Moctezuma.

En esta genealogia podra observar los nombres castellanos de los descendientes de los emperadores mexicas como es el caso de Cuauhtemoc que fue bautizado como Fernando Cortes Moctezuma; tomando el apellido del conquistador español.

La descendencia de Moctezuma tomo los apellidos de Mendoza, por el primer virrey de la Nueva Espana: Antonio de Mendoza; y el de Austria de los monarcas españoles, sin embargo tambien conservaron el Moctezuma como muestra de exaltar su linaje dinastico mexicano.

Si conoce algun documento del patrimonio documental del AGN que considere significativo para su divulgacion, envienos un correo con su referencia a difusion@agn.gob.mx

The following information on the children of Alonso Perez de Ortega may be posted elsewhere. If so, this will be old news. But since it clarifies several relationships, I want to share it just in case.

In the Municipal Archives of Leon, Guanajuato (see below) you can find an interesting case initiated by Hernando Galvan de Rojas against Alonso Perez de Ortega (the younger). Another related source can be found in the Morelia archives (Film 765586) re a 1655 lawsuit initiated by Lorenzo Ruiz Tostado in Zacatecas against the same Alonso the younger in Leon. These documents were key to unraveling some misinformation I had about the progeny of Alonso Perez de Ortega, el viejo.

Alonso Perez de Ortega, el viejo, had children from three relationships.

1. With Maria de Jerez, his first wife, he had Elvira (who married Lorenzo Ruiz Tostado), Alonso (b. 15 Jan 1617 and who I believe died young as I found no other mention of him), and Catalina (who married Pedro Yañez de Gamboa.) I am assuming Catalina was born of this marriage because on 8 Feb 1620 she and her father were godparents at a baptism. Maria de Jerez was the daughter of Rodrigo Muñoz.

2. With Luisa Vanegas de Figueroa, his second wife, he had Antonia (who entered the Convento de Jesus Maria in Mexico City), and Juana Perez de Ortega (who on 21 Apr 1653 married widower Hernando Galvan de Rojas, son of Alonso GDR and Juana de Salcedo), and other children unidentified. Luisa Vanegas de Figueroa was the daughter of Pedro Vanegas and Juana Bautista Cont/Conte.

3. With Maria Nuñez y Velez, whom he never married, he had Alonso Perez de Ortega the younger (who married Felipa de Anso) and Jacinta de Ortega (who married Francisco Macias Valadez). They were hijos naturales.

I descend from Hernando Galvan de Rojas and his first wife Antonia de Trujillo and it was in pursuit of his data that I came across the lawsuit mentioned above. It was dated 1661, but had been going on since 1653 shortly after he married Antonia. It involved her dowry and the fact that Alonso the younger had somehow taken over most of the estate of his deceased father.

Regards to all and I hope this helps someone.
