I apologize if there is a list of abbreviations used in the Catholic Church parish registers in Mexico, however, after some searching I haven't been able to locate one.

The C. stands for "ciudadano". (citizen).

"Natural" USUALLY means natural child, that is, born out of wedlock or father unknown, or in some cases neither parent is known.

Depending on context, "natural" may also mean native of, same as "originario".

Some records abbreviate M (Mujer) or H (Hombre) in the margin of the record. This can be helpful when the other gender indicators in the text are unclear.

Comentario

Denise,

Natural, in this case, most likely means that the person is originally from that town. I try not to use the term "native" because that can also cause confusion.

If the groom had been born out of wedlock it would have said h.n. for hijo natural.

When there are questions about a record it is best to provide a link to the document so we can see the context of the document and if there are other clues. For instance, if it says h.l. (hijo legitimo) then there is no question that "natural" means originally and not born out of wedlock.

Armando

Comentario

If every record has this C. abbreviation, it may stand for Citizen.
"Natural (de)" means "originary (from)" or "born (in)".

have any of you guys have any ancestor with more than one name

you see i have an ancestor who sometimes is refered to as antonia avila and other times as catalina cid. have anyone else here had the same problem?

Yes, many times a woman goes by more than one name. Or parts of her full name. Her full name could be Antonia Catalina Avila Cid. But don't jump to that as the only solution. People changed or modified their names often, so that in later records you may not recognize the same person found in earlier records. I have several instances of females having as many as seven different surnames in various records, along with several variations of their given names. Whether it was that they had decided to be known by different names, or that the informants were not well informed, is hard to tell. I can certainly relate to your dilemma trying to decide if the two names belong to the same person.
Name variations seem to be more common with women than men. Perhaps it was because of the culture of the times, that the women were often not present at the christenings of their children, being "churched" or recovering from childbirth, and those present may have known her by her

Comentario

I had the same issue with an ancestor of mine having a Franco father and somewhere else her father is surnamed Martin del Campo. What happened was that the Martin del campo was the the biological father but he died when she was very young and her stepfather who raised her is listed as her father when she gets married.

Comentario

It's not uncommon for a person to be referred to with two different names.
i.e. Juan Antonio Carlos's parents are Jose Carlos and Maria Carrillo. He can be referred to as either Juan Carlos or Antonio Carrillo. I've seen this many times.

Jose Carlos de Leon

Comentario

I believe these are two different women-- wives of the same man. I'm sure someone recording the vital information perhaps mixed up the names sometimes, but I don't think there is only one woman. What makes you think so?

Juan de Guzman en San Martin Hidalgo, Jalisco?

Como siempre digo en esta área de estudio, requiere comprobar las informaciones con documentos fidedignos. Hemos encontrado muchísimos, sí, innumerables errores en estos sitios genealógicos de personas que colocan datos erróneos. Aunque, sin duda siempre es bueno por curiosidad comparar las informaciones nos puede dar una pista o por lo menos una dirección en abordar el tema. No estoy diciendo que están incorrecto TODAS las informaciones en esos sitios, mas para mi hasta que tengo un documento en mi mano que lo dice, lo establece y lo compruebe ahí se convierte en escritura. Debemos ser muy cuidadosos en las reconstrucciones de estos árboles genealógicos. Documento por documento, acta por acta, línea por línea, vínculo por vínculo. A los pocos podremos recopilar información suficiente para establecer las genealogías.

Solamente un pensamiento y suerte,

It's taken me some time to fill out my family tree, but I've updated and it posted on here today. I see that there are a lot of descendants of Antonio de Ortega Maldonado.

Victoriano Ramirez Lopez "El Catorce"

I have been researching Victoriano Ramirez off and on and only had success indirectly. I have his fathers' name and the father's three brothers and a sister. I have his mom's brother's name and her parents, grandparents, and so on, but not her name. I have tracked the Lopez family in san miguel el alto and his father in the vicinity of San Julian. I have where victoriano was born but not a date. Is any one researching him?

Hello Steve,
Thank you very much for your information on Victoriano Ramirez. My wife's grandfather knew and admired Victoriano Ramirez. Paolo, her grandfather, had a portrait of Victoriano standing next to his horse. I was happily surprised to see this portrait hanging in his house. He enjoyed talking about him. He gave me the portrait in front of witnesses but I did not take it down out of respect for him. He was almost a hundred years old at the time. When an uncle of my wife heard that he had given me the portrait, he took down the portrait and said that it was now his. He later felt guilty and let me borrow it for a few months. This happened over twenty years ago. This portrait is now in Northern California. My mother in law is also related to Victorianos mother.

Comentario

Congratulations
Estimado Steve,

You have done magnificent work. I thank you so much for sharing. My desire to research "Victoriano el Catorce" was because I wanted to know exactly how he was related either to me or my wife. My wife's grandfather had stated that he knew him and that not only was he a friend but a relative also. You have provided the proof that I could not find. Her grandfather descends from Francisco Madrid de la Rocha and Maria Lucrecia Vasquez. Do you have more information on this couples ancestors? I had completed a couple more generations on Maria Lucrecia Vasquez line but hit a roadblock on Francisco Madrid de la Rocha.

I descend from a branch of the Ramirez from San Miguel el Alto but I am going to have to look at more closely to see if there is any connection. I descend from a Nicolas Ramirez.

I want to reward you for this work. I am going to treat you to dinner to celebrate.
Keep up your excellent and inspirational work primo,

Rick

Gracias por los elogios y la ayuda que estos datos les puedan brindar a los que estén interesados en Victoriano Ramírez López, “El Catorce”.

Glad they were useful to you. What I posted was an experiment…an exercise to see how it would look. It was ONLY the first FIVE generations of his ancestry. And yes!!! I have done more research. I am amplifying the basic report and “playing” with options, features, items to include, sources, notes, and images. It would look nicer as a PDF with pictures and transcribed documents and pedigree charts. Which of course gave me the idea, “¿Por qué no?” An expanded report with a table of contents indicating each of the generations, specific ancestors in bold print, all the corresponding sources, images, and documents, would not only make a great resource for Nuestros Ranchos, but also of a book. It has given me ideas as to how to share/publish what I have researched.

En lo que se trata a Victoriano Ramírez López, “El Catorce”…his direct paternal ancestry presents us with the correction of a widely published error which I want to bring out to the light so it can be demolished.

In Generation 5, ancestor #16, “Juan-Joseph Miguel Ramírez-Martín, born 7 May 1754 in La Cajuela, San Juan de los Lagos, Jalisco, México. He was the son of Miguel Ramírez-Martín and María-Teresa Márquez.” That is CORRECT, but most have INCORRECT data on him and beyond him…is a mystery!!! The direct paternal ancestry of Ramírez…viene de un “hijo de padres no conocidos”…so there it ends.

You see in the marriage record of Miguel Ramírez-Martín and María-Teresa Márquez in 1744 in San Juan de los Lagos, it clearly reads that Miguel Ramírez-Martín was “hijo de padres no conocidos”—they are not mentioned at all. Miguel was mentioned in his marriage acta as “Miguel MARTÍN” and other times as “Miguel Martín del Campo”. I believe his natural mother was a Martín del Campo. Several

Comentario

Hello Steve,

I believe that your explanation of the Ramirez Martin last names is correct. This same explanation is used in my records to explain a line of the Lomelin De La Cruz married also to a Marquez. This marriage actually gave a partial explanation of how they were related so the padre desconocidos grandfather is revealed. A full explanation of the relationship between bride and groom wasn't given but did state that they were 3rd cousins which leads to skipping a generation for the groom. His grandfather is listed only as Lomelin with no first name but we can deduce who this unknowns grandfather by the relationship degree given.

Another case of padres desconocido is the one of Francisco Madrid de la Rocha Rangel I remember seeing a record that said that but then I found the marriage dispensation that lists his parents.

My wife also has a Ramirez Martin ancestral line about the same time and same place but in this case the father Jose Maria Ramirez is the one with padres

Comentario

I went back and looked at my information and my roadblock is not on Francisco Madrid de la Rocha, but his father Andres Madrid de la Rocha. A few years back I had originally had Francisco as the son of another Francisco but I corrected this data when, thanks to Claudia, I found their marriage dispensation. I believe that we both originally may have been misinformed by Jaime Holcombe. I found the marriage dispensation with the same film # as Salvador Clemente De La Torre' s marriage dispensation. (1787 film # 168072), (image 237). I was sidetracked and have never printed out the dispensation or read it entirely. I forgot completely about it and had only added Andres and his wife to my family tree. Lucrecias info in my tree is only what was in their marriage record. I will print the dispensation and decipher it hopefully this week. I bet I was so happy to find Salvador Clemente de la Torre s marriage dispensation that I put francisco and Lucrecias aside and forgot to get back to it

Mariano Gonzalez leal names the parents of Victoriano. He has a different name, carlos, for the father than other people have that claim to be his nephews and nieces. they claim the father's name is gabriel ramirez.

Thank you both. I understand the dispensa process much better than I did a month ago and I believe those are located in the información matrimonial? But, are there clues in the basic marriage records on Family Search that would suggest there is a dispensa available? Are there specific clues to look for?

Comentario

Hi Paige,
Yeah it will say on the marriage record whether a dispensa
is required. Here is an example from the Diaz de Leon/Carrillo marriage I was
just recently looking at: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-15246-26036-84?cc=1804458&wc…
You can see that the impediment here that requires a
dispensa is for third degree of consanguinity, which I think makes them second
cousins. It’s because of that blood relationship between them that they’re
required to request a dispensa from the Archbishop of Guadalajara to be allowed
to marry.
Also, since I last looked at the baptism of Doña Michaela de Acosta and Don Joseph Tomas Muñoz Gonzalez de Hermosillo’s children, I found two
more children, so I think they must’ve had about 13 children, although, I’m not
sure how many survived to be adults.

Hi Alicia,
 
I descend from them on my mother's side, so I don't know whether it would solve the puzzle. Plus, I descend from the other Pedroza's and Acosta's on my father's side and I'm not familiar enough with DNA to know whether it would help or whether my other Acosta and Pedroza connections would just confuse the situation. Armando probably could better answer that question.

Comentario

Chris, there have been people that have been successful at triangulating on
ancestors that aren't from a direct paternal or maternal line using the
Family Finder autosomal DNA test at FamilyTreeDNA. Autosomal DNA is
inherited from multiple ancestors, not just those on the direct paternal or
maternal lines. Unfortunately there are no success stories for anyone in
our region, that I know of, that have identified a missing ancestor by
triangulating with autosomal DNA. This is because of missing documentation,
missing gedcoms, and too few participants. Due to that and since it seems
your ancestry does not include the missing ancestors on your direct
maternal or paternal side you are correct that DNA testing probably won't
help you in this specific case.

If you were to get Y-DNA and mtDNA tests you could possibly help others
identify ancestors since you seem to have well documented ancestry. There
have been multiple success stories of people with a brick wall in their
paternal line being

Comentario

Armando,
 
Thanks for the information. I knew you'd have the answer. I hadn't really thought about taking the DNA test before, but, if it can help others, maybe I will. But, my dad died a long time ago though, so only I'd be able to take it. Regarding finding ancestor matches of a different surname, I do think that would be the case. I have seen a few instances on the Cuellar side where it seems they assumed that name over the actual paternal name. As an example Juan Crisostomo de Cuellar married Maria Raphaela del Refugio Alonso and gave the Cuellar name to his descendants, but as you can see from this baptism of one of his children https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18564-24706-50?cc=1874591&wc…
 
his fathers name is actually Perez and it's his mothers name that he uses. I'm aware of at least a few other surname changes too. Regarding, Indian ancestry, does it break it down among specific Indian groups like Caxcanes, Zacatecos, etc.?

Chris,

The example is one reason surnames change. There are also cases of hijos
naturales or hijos de padres no conocidos where the child is given a random
surname or that of the owner of the ranch, or the surname of the family
that raised the child.

Is the example you provided from your direct paternal line? If it is there
is a possibility you will match one of the people that have already tested
the Y-DNA line.

No, the Indian ancestry is not broken up into individual groups for our
region. The groups they tested and compare us against in any of the
calculators comes from the Human Genetic Diversity Project at the
University of Stanford by Li et al. and the populations are Maya, Pima,
Colombian, Karitiana, and Surui. Some of the autosomal SNP markers that we
carry are more common in Colombians than Mayans and some of us get labeled
as being part Colombian even though our Indian ancestors have always been
in Mexico. This means that some of our ancestors had descendants that went

surname or that of the owner of the ranch, or the surname of the family
that raised the child.

Is the example you provided from your direct paternal line? If it is there
is a possibility you will match one of the people that have already tested
the Y-DNA line.

Hello everyone,

I'm not sure my last message worked. I'm trying to locate the parents of don Francisco De Acosta, and his wife, doña Teresa De Pedroza. They probably married around 1750 in Aguascalientes.

They are the parents of Micaela De Acosta that married José Tomás Muñoz González De Hermosillo at El Sagrario, Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes on August 16, 1769.

Hello Paige,

The marriage record of José Tomás Muñoz González De Hermosillo at El
Sagrario, Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes on August 16, 1769 shows him
marrying Michaela de Pedroza hija natural de María Teresa de Pedroza.
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-267-12126-33354-49?cc=1502404&…
do you know that her father was Francisco de Acosta? Since the mother
wasn't mentioned as being married there is probably not a marriage record,
información matrimonial record, or dispensa that will allow you do
determine the parents of either Francisco de Acosta or Teresa de Pedrosa.

You might end up having to search for a dispensa of descendants of José
Tomás Muñoz González De Hermosillo and Micaela de Pedroza/Acosta to find
the grandparents of Micaela.

Hi Paige and Armando
I actually don't have a lot of time to really get into this discussion because I have to be in homeroom shortly, Plus I also don’t know who the parents of Don Francisco de Acosta or
Doña Theresa de Pedroza are, but they are my 7th great grandparents,
and I thought I’d mention I’ve asked about this couple before and never
received a response, so, I think you’re message worked, I’m just not sure
anyone in the group has any information on who their parents might be. I think
many people in the forum are connected to the Gonzalez de Hermosillo’s, but I
only remember one other person mention this specific line before and they were
new too. Hopefully, maybe you can find something I haven’t been able to. But, I also am pretty sure Don Francisco de Acosta was never married to Doña Theresa de
Pedroza. Armando is right, both the marriage and the Información Matrimonial for

In looking at my records, I found a marriage that may help solve the relationship between Thomas and Nicolas Macias. Their respective grandchildren, Salvador Macias Ruiz de Esparza and Maria Macias Ruiz de Esparza, married in Aguascalientes on March 9, 1734. I was able to locate the marriage record in Pilot, and the 'dispensa' of their consanguinity is mentioned. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find the "Informacion Matrimonial", where I was expecting to see info on the grandparents relationship. I wonder if anyone can help accessing this information from the Sagrada Mitra?

Has anyone ever found the source for Isabel Hurtado de Mendoza's parents? I dont know how Jose Luis Vasquezcame to that conclusion, I dont disregard it but just wonder the source. I have studied the Mendoza family,undoubtfully one of the most important families in all of Nueva Galicia. I have Genealogias de Nochistlan (thanksto a good friend) and it says Inigo Lopez de Mendoza and Maria Laso de Mendoza were ambos de Nochistlan.So they actually did live in Nochistlan according to the book. Even don Mariano Gonzalez Leal is still puzzledat this line, we still cannot trace or connect our Mendoza to those of Spain with full documentation, probdue to the lack of records in the early years of the colony. Any comments?

Daniel, Celestino and others,
I was checking the timeline to associate Isabel Hurtado de Mendoza as the daughter of the first marques of Mondejar, Iñigo Lopez de Mendoza y Quiñonez (1440-1515), and simply it does not match. The second problem is that the first's marques wife was Francisca Pacheco, and not Maria Laso de Mendoza. Now, Inigo was the grandchild of Inigo Lopez de Mendoza y Lasso (1398-1458), first marques de Santillana. I wonder if the association of the Lasso surname to Isabel's mother was used to identify her as the marques' daughter. However, more importantly, is that none of the marques of Mondejar lived in Mexico (although Antonio de Mendoza is identified in some publications as holding that title). Antonio de Mendoza, New Spain's first Viceroy, was son of the first marques. He apparently did not left any decendants in Mexico or Peru (although other relatives may have stayed in the Americas). I urge you to visit the site of Jose L.G. de Paz of the Universidad Autonoma

Estos, nombres probablemente son los que andas buscando.
Nicolas Macias, fue bautizado el 22 de Febrero de 1642. Padres Francisco Macias y Jasinta Ortega en Aguascalientes.
Hay un Mateo, no un Tomas hermano de este Nicolas.
Mateo Macias, hijo de Francisco Macias y Jasinta de Ortega, fue bautizado 17 Octubre 1627 en Aguascalientes.
Tambien Maria Lopez de Lizalde hermana de Beatriz Lopez, caso en primeras nupcias con Juan de Luevana y en segundas con Martin Ruiz de Esparza. Ver Cap. 51 G. Nochistlan.
Beatriz Lopez fue hija de Miguel Lopez de Elizalde y de Leonor de Aberruza.
Talvez Maria Lopez se caso mas que dos veces, si ese fue el caso el tercer esposo sería Tomas, pero si no, quiere decir que a lo mejor, tu información no es completamente correcta, o la informacón de Jose Luis Vasquez y Rodriguez y Frias en su libro de Genealogias de Nochistlan Capitulo 81, pagina 236 a 239, no sean confiables, es cuestión de investigar un poco mas. Espero que te ayude un poco. Celestino.

I have Tomas' parents as:
Pedro Macias Valades & Luisa Solano de Villegas.
I know Nicolas' parents have been debated. Some claims as to be being married twicewith Francisca Gutierrez de Mendoza cannot be becuase it conflicts with the childrens baptisms. A man couldnt be married to two woman at the same time. I believe they re not the sameNicolas. It had to be another Nicolas, a close relative.

If Felipe was born Aug. of 1856 in San Miguel El Alto then his surname is Alderete Anda and not Anda Alderete. The paternal surname goes first and the maternal surname goes last.

The same goes for Santiago, if his father's surname was Torres and his mother's surname was Guerra then his surname was Torres Guerra and not Guerra Torres.

The birth record of Santiago should name his grandparents. Are they not named in it?

Thank you for the naming information. Santiago's grandparents are not listed in the birth record. Just his parents, their ages, where they were a resident of and the witnesses.

My name is Mary Mejia (http://www.nuestrosranchos.org/marymejia) and I am
researching my husband's family. His great-grandparents were Manuel Mejia and
Francisca Rosales from Tepetongo, Zacatecas. Manuel and Francisca were married
2/10/1877 in Tepetongo and had 12 children, all baptised in Tepetongo (Marciala,
Magdaleno, Josef, Gabino, Florentina, Francisca, Adelaida, Alejandra, Cruz,
Heron, Fidel and Maria). They immigrated to the US around 1917 and ended up in
Kansas City, Kansas. Fidel was my husband's grandfather and his grandmother
Maria Ignacia Salazar (also from Zacatecas, but that is all I know so far).

I appreciate the opportunity to expand my knowledge of my son's heritage as I
believe it is important to know from where we come.

Hi Mary, and welcome to NuestrosRanchos. I am still fairly new to the group
and I can assure you, you won't be sorry you joined. I had no knowledge of
genealogy and only got into it because I promised my daughter I would look into
our background and who our ancestors were. I had a hard time finding my mother
but thanks to NuestrosRanchos and Joseph, who not only found her but was kind
enough to send me a good copy of her baptismal---I almost cried tears of joy.
You will get the help you need from this group, they are all great. I have
learned that Genealogy is like going on a treasure hunt and when you find an
ancestors, it's like finding a treasure! Good Luck!

Mary,

Welcome to the group. I am sure that you will find lots of help and
suggestions from the group members.

I did take a look at the information, that you have posted in the group, in
regards to your husband's family Tree. I was able to go from Manuel Mejia
back 7 generations. I have sent a copy of the ancestor report to your
email. There is a lot of information there, and lot of it still needs to
be proven. That means that you need to look up each event, such as birth
records, baptisms, and marriages. The quickest way to look them up is to
use the FamilySearch site, and the records are in Spanish. So have fun,
looking for your family.

Hi Mary,

Welcome to NuestrosRanchos. You'll learn so much from being a member. I didn't know anything about my family because my dad died when I was little but now after being a member for just a couple of months I've added so many ancestors to my tree and learned so much about my family and my heritage. And, everyone is so helpful here. Joining this group is the best thing I've ever done in my life.

Hola,

It says he's been living in Rancho de Quilita, in the jurisdiction of Tecolotlan, for six years at the time of this testimony.

I'm not clear on the "THO" that you're talking about? There is an abbreviation, "dho" that they'd use constantly in these documents; it means "dicho" which means "stated" as in the name of the town has already been stated prior in the document.

How are you certain that your Esparza line goes directly back to Esparza, Navarra? There are several towns and places named Velez in Spain, mostly in Andalucia and Murcia but I have no idea or proof that my ancestors' line goes back to any of them. Wondering how you are you sure of yours? Do you have a source of info that directs you to that place?

Sandra Velez

Comentario

I wasn't sure if it was quilita since i couldn't find it on a map. Must not be there anymore. Yes it was DHO i was referring too and that makes much more sense when i read it now, thank you.

I'm not certain my line comes from there. I just assumed since there is a record of a ruiz de esparza coming from there to aguas calientes. It's one of the many reasons im doing this, finding my roots. As are all of us. So I'll see what happens if i can trace it there

Thank you for the input Sandra.

This is a government site and is excellent for looking up the locations of towns & ranchos that may no longer exist. You can find non-existent or very small, unmapped towns/ranchos by clicking first on the name of the municipality, then on the name of the town/rancho you're looking for, and whether it's currently active or inactive, it will be listed and shown on a Google-type map including satellite imagery.

If you can't find a rancho in one municipality, remember local government lines have changed over the years from then to now, and while any town may have been in one municipality back when, it could be in a different one now, so look also in adjoining districts as well.

Edesparza81,
In Tecolotlan, the closest town I found to Quilita was Quililla, which could be the modern name of the town you're looking for. Cocula or Tapalpa would be other good ones to check in if you think present-day Quililla might
