Ask one of the administrators to create a Family Tree in Gedcom for you.
Then after that is done, go to Gedcom section and down under the search engines, select "administration" and it'll bring you to the upload area and select the options that you want and upload your GEDCOM file from your computer. Wait a few minutes then you'll see a bunch of computer symbols, and you're done!

Help with surname, trying to break a wall

Hello everyone. I've had a brickwall on my direct paternal line for years and I'm looking all over the place for clues.

I think it says "de Albiaso". On Familysearch I found some people listed with that surname (also spelled Albiazo) in Totatiche, Jalisco in the 1820's and 1830's, Guadalajara in the 1740's and Bolaños, Jalisco in the 1810's.

Help me understand the race notation.

The following is from my father's birth record...

If I understand it correctly, my father is half Native American.

Can someone please translate this and confirm what I think I'm reading?

Roy,

As I understand it, it says,

* que es primero en su estado, meaning being the first in his state or condition
* siendo sus progenitores de raza indigena - his progenitors being of an indigenous race
* blanco y mejicanos por nacimiento - white and Mexicans through birth

Roy,

I have a Nuestros Ranchos cousin, Juan Aguayo who had his admixture DNA done, you might want to consult with him. I think he used Family Tree DNA when they had the special rate going.

Remember, the scribes are not always correct in what they note on the records, so take this as an initial discovery but keep searching for corroborating facts and data with siblings, aunts, uncles grandparents etc.

Thank you Alica,
I guess I should get my DNA tested to termine which line is indigenous.

Alicia,
I am already looking at FamilyTreeDNA (Y-DNA37+mtDNAPlus).

My father told me on numerous occasions that we had Indian, Spanish, and French blood. He just didn't know the details.

I only recently started tracing my father's line, so I know there's a long road ahead.

Thanks again,
Roy

Comentario

It is very doubtful you have French blood. There is a persistent false myth
that French blood exists in high quantities in our area of research (Nueva
Galicia) due to the large number of güeros with blond or red hair and blue
or green eyes and the French intervention in Mexico, as if there weren't
Spaniards that have those characteristics and the people in our area didn't
already look like that. Apart from that there is no proof whatsoever of the
people of the French intervention mixing with the people of Nueva Galicia
and many güeros have documented ancestry going back many centuries before
the French intervention. That isn't to say you don't or can't have French
blood from an immigrant but the likelihood is probably about a 2% chance.

You might be able to save a little by getting the FamilyTreeDNA
(Y-DNA37+mtDNAPlus) through the Mexico DNA group project

my Castanon family is from the district of Jerez, Zac and I was also told we had French blood so the elders were a bit put off when I found no French lineage but Mulato, Spanish and Yndio.. they insisted there had never been any black slaves in Jerez.. people don't always like what our research shows them. I felt previleged to share the blood of the history of Mexico but not everyone will feel that way.

Hello,

That is hilarious. My elders also said we had a french background when my geneology research show that we go back several generations in Tlatenango (to 1600's or before) and sourrounding areas and that our ancesters were mainly Spanish. They were also very upset to find out we had Spanish blood and insited no one was Spanish.

Go figure.

Armando,
Within the last month, I have discovered more about my father's family than anyone would have guessed. Regretably, he is no longer with us to know of these things.

I went ahead and joined the Felix group and ordered the DNA kit (Y-DNA37+mtDNAPlus).
When the Family Finder goes on sale, I'll will also order that.

Not to offend anyone, but I'm totally indifferent to having any French heritage. Whatever is...is. I've traced my maternal family back to the 1400's in Italy, so it would be great to ultimately find my paternal family in Spain in the same timeframe.

As a new member of NR, I am quite impressed with the level of knowledge, sharing, and committment of yourself and fellow members. Having said that, I would appreciate hearing from anyone with information on a del Real line from Tlaltenanco de Sanchez Roman. My early research has my paternal lineage back to Ignacio del Real, married to Lucia Valenzuela, born around 1825-1830. Parents of Don Bernardo del Real, born 1849 and married to Maria Isabel Caballero on 21Aug1883.

Saludos,
Roy

Let us know your results when they come in. Once you get your Y-DNA
haplogroup you can have a subclade test done which will provide you a less
generalized area and time for what group you belong to. Family Finder might
help you but in a generalized sense.

I've been wanting to create a Genealogy 101 for NR. Something we do when we
first start is fail to realize that the baptisms post 1800 will have the
abuelos a majority of the time. Another thing to take into consideration is
that some people were just as mobile as we are today. Just because your
studies have taken you to Zacatecas doesn't mean it is the only place you
will find what you are looking for. For example Ygnacio Del Real,​ Lucia
Valenzuela had a child in Jalisco. Abuelos Paternos Don Felis del Real and
Doña Gertrudis Herrera.
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18455-32968-35?cc=1874591&wc…
think the name Felis is a mistake and it is really Felipe since there
is
a couple named Felipe del Real and Gertrudis Herrera in Jalisco in the time
frame that fits.

The following user submitted tree shows the full names are Felipe del Real
Valenzuela and Maria Gertrudis Herrera Sanchez married 28 May 1801 Santo
Thomas, Momax, Zacatecas https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.2.1/SBPY-Q97

The parents are Antonio del Real and Maria or Maria Ana Valenzuela who had
children in Colotlán,​ Jalisco

Something else that should be part of the Geneaology 101 is to find all of
the baptisms and marriages of anyone with the same last name and annotate
the padrinos. Don't just concentrate on your direct line. You can gain info
on your own ancestrors from trees of distant relatives. Review all of the
baptisms, marriages, and información matrimonial records and record the
information. The información matrimonial records are a valuable tool and
since they haven't been indexed they have to be looked at a page at a time
and sometimes are in the wrong volume.

There are several people with the Real surname that had a dispensa follow
the link http://www.guadalajaradispensas.com/search?q=real use ctrl+F and
search for real.

If you can't find anymore records hopefully you find a DNA match with
someone that has a longer paper trail than you.

I try to educate everyone that brings up this French myth that the vast
majority of the time it is false and widespread without much basis. I'm not
concerned about whether people are indifferent to the myth or not. I'm
concerned with people spreading falsehoods.

By the way if you are the person that said you never learned Spanish it is
never too late to try and you have more opportunities now than ever with it
being so ubiquitous.

Saludos,
Armando

Armando and other Nuestros Ranchos Members:

Why do you think so many people perpetuate the myth that they're French or have French lineage? I simply cannot understand the why. I know I've heard it said by some people in our family and when I tell people that I've done some genealogical research, inevitably this comes up and they say that they are descended from the French. I hear it all the time and I've even alienated some people when I give them a few facts as to the short time period in which the French occupied Mexico and that it's simply not possible or very unlikely that they could be French.

The British, French and Spanish arrived in Mexico during the Mexican reform period beginning in October of 1861 because Presidente Juarez had refused to pay Mexico's foreign debts.

The French first occupied Puebla, and were defeated on 5 de Mayo of 1862, hence el Cinco de Mayo. The following May, the French again attacked Puebla, then proceeded to Mexico City where they took over the government. Maximilian was asked to accept the Mexican Crown for the French, which he did in accordance with Napolean's plans and wishes. Maximilian arrived in 1864 with his wife Carlota and In 1866, Napolean began recalling the French troops from Mexico. In 1867, Maximilan was tried and executed in Mexico. 

So the French were in Mexico from 1861 to 1867. I'm curious to hear what people's thoughts are on this issue of so many people claiming they are French in Mexico.

Nuestros Ranchos Members:There were also individuals born in France, but who came to Mexico (sometimes via Spain) before and after the French Intervention. One example is Ángel Navarro, French-born leading Spanish settler in New Spain. My husband also has a gr gr gr gr grandmother (Maria Iturbide) from France who married a Basque man and they imigrated to Guanajuato, Mexico years after the French invasion. Their reason for immigrating was to join family who were already well established in the area. The following article discusses French immigration to Mexico, how many actually came, where they immigrated from, where they immigrated to, and notable Mexicans with French ancestry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_immigration_to_Mexico Here is also a French genealogy blog that discusses French immigration to Mexico (even before the French Intervention): http://french-genealogy.typepad.com/genealogie/2012/01/french-immigrant…

This group is for serious genealogists actively searching for lineages in
the states of Jalisco, Zacatecas and Aguascalientes.

Also, a lot of people have lost sight of what has caused this discussion to
come about and the reason behind it. There are hundreds, maybe even
thousands, of people with ancestry in Jalisco, Zacatecas and Aguascalientes
that are told they have French ancestry but when their family trees are
seriously researched there isn't a single French ancestor in the past 400
years and wouldn't matter if 10 million French had immigrated to Jalisco,
Zacatecas and Aguascalientes.

Respectfully,
Armando

While it's true what is rare, often is desired, I have come across a couple of incidences where the French could have been involved.  Researching the Archivos Historicos Municipal de Aguascalientes, I've come across several entries from 1865 to 1867 as follows:  "Orden de pago por el tiempo que fue ocupada por una fuerza francesa la casa/hacienda de..." It wouldn't take long for soldiers to get around.  Secondly, there's the Basque that originated from regions of Spain and France, yet often claim autonomy.  One of my Basque lines originated in the Aquitaine in France, yet on his 1776 burial entry, it simply claims, "Europeo", not Frances or Espanol.   Go figure.  Alice

Armando and other Nuestros Ranchos Members:

Why do you think so many people perpetuate the myth that they're French or have French lineage? I simply cannot understand the why. I know I've heard it said by some people in our family and when I tell people that I've done some genealogical research, inevitably this comes up and they say that they are descended from the French. I hear it all the time and I've even alienated some people when I give them a few facts as to the short time period in which the French occupied Mexico and that it's simply not possible or very unlikely that they could be French.

The British, French and Spanish arrived in Mexico during the Mexican reform period beginning in October of 1861 because Presidente Juarez had refused to pay Mexico's foreign debts.

The French first occupied Puebla, and were defeated on 5 de Mayo of 1862, hence el Cinco de Mayo. The following May, the French again attacked Puebla, then proceeded to Mexico City where they took over the government. Maximilian was asked to accept the Mexican Crown for the French, which he did in accordance with Napolean's plans and wishes. Maximilian arrived in 1864 with his wife Carlota and In 1866, Napolean began recalling the French troops from Mexico. In 1867, Maximilan was tried and executed in Mexico. 

So the French were in Mexico from 1861 to 1867. I'm curious to hear what people's thoughts are on this issue of so many people claiming they are French in Mexico.

Since we're on the topic of the French and their sometimes exaggerated
influence in Mexico I also want to shed some light on how many believe the
myth that French gave rise to Mariachi music in Mexico. Many mariachi
musicians, to this day, themselves believe that this is true, but it is
not. I’ll first share a little story about my friend Jonathan Clark, a very
well respected mariachi musician and historian.

While in college in the bay area I had the pleasure of working with
Jonathan, a guero from San Jose, Ca. if I remember correctly. Jonathan
started a “guero” Mariachi at San Jose State in the 70s. They played at
many local venues and began to take their playing seriously. Jonathan
organized a trip to Guadalajara to expand their knowledge about mariachi
music and to immerse themselves in the culture of the land of mariachis. He
had always heard of plaza Garibaldi in Mexico City and decided to still
travel there by himself even though he fail to convince his other mariachi
friends to take a trip there from Guadalajara. When he arrived at the Plaza
Garibaldi he approached a guitarronero and asked him where he could
purchase guitarron strings for his instrument. The mariachi laughed at him
and said that a guero couldn’t play the guitarron. Jonathan took the
mariachis’ guitarron and began to play a few lines of music. The mariachi
was astonished and said he knew of a mariachi that need a guitarronero that
night and that if Jonathan was interested he would introduce him to the
mariachi. Jonathan hesitantly agreed and played with the mariachi ensemble
that night. To make a long story short, Jonathan called his friends in
Guadalajara letting them know he was not returning back home with them.
Since Jonathan was making a life changing decision he took his mariachi
studies seriously and ended up staying in Mexico City for many years. He
became a student of Natividad “Nati” Santiago of El Mariachi Vargas de
Tecalitlan, who many consider to be the best guitarron player of all time.
In 1997 Mariachi Vargas wanted to establish a Mariachi museum in their
name. They asked amongst themselves who was the most knowledgeable in not
only their history, but mariachi history in general, and Jonathan’s name
was at the top of the list. Through their mariachi connections they found
Jonathan back home in San Jose and he helped Mariachi Vargas set up their
museum. The following excerpt is taken from Jonathan’s website which echos
what he told me about the mariachi Myth around 15 years ago while I was one
of his students.

“The origin of the word “mariachi” has been a subject of controversy.
Legend erroneously has it that mariachi is a corruption of the French word
mariage. The popular belief is that during their occupation of Mexico in
the 19th century, the French contracted the services of local musical
groups for weddings, thus giving them their name. Scholars have long
disagreed with this explanation, insisting the word was of indigenous
origin and that any similarity with the French word was mere coincidence.
However, because there was no concrete proof to support either theory, the
controversy continued for decades until the discovery of an important
document in 1981.

In a letter to his bishop dated 1852, Father Cosme Santa Anna denounced the
drunkenness, gambling, and disorderly conduct associated with the mariachis
across from his church in Rosamorada, Nayarit. The priest described his
attempts to stop the festivities and how he personally took the instruments
away from the musicians! This was the first historical evidence that the
word mariachi was in use before the French invasion of Mexico in the 1860s.
Shortly after its discovery, the text of this document was published in
Mexico City and Los Angeles, and should have laid to rest the mariage
theory once and for all. However, old myths die hard, and the public at
large and most mariachi musicians themselves continue believing that this
uniquely Mexican music owes its name to a foreign source.”

For those interested in Mariachi history you can visit Jonathan’s mariachi
page which is still under construction:

http://mariachihistory.com/index.htmle

I hope you enjoy the story, but more importantly the truth about mariachi
music.

Thanks Primo,

I truly enjoyed the article. My father was one who loved Mariachi Vargas' sones and to this day whenever I hear a son such as La Culebra or el Gavilancillo I only like it with Mariachi Vargas and it reminds me of my dad.

Alicia,

I think it is because people in Mexico heard that French had "settled" there, not knowing the true history. They equate blue eyes only with the "recent" foreigners and not their own Spanish ancestors.

My father could have killed me when we stopped for lunch and gas in a small village back in the 1960s on our way to Jerez. I noticed that many of the people there were dark, but had blue eyes. I very impertently asked the dark, blue eyed gas station attendant "porque tantos aqui estan prietos con hojos azules?" (God, what a dumb question, but I was so curious, and young and dumb). He just smiled and said, "los franceses vinieron aqui". My father dressed me up and down for that, but I got an answer that satifsfied me at the time. Now I know better.

Armando,
Thank you for the links - it led me to my 3rd and 4th Great Grandparents.
I have now identified two lines of Valenzuela females that married del Real males.
A Genealogy tutorial sounds like a great idea. Sign me up!

Regretably, I had no idea I was "perpetuating the myth" of French ancestry. My father was told that as a child and had no reason to disbelieve it.

My DNA results will certainly be shared when received.

Saludos,
Roy

p.s. I am working on my Spanish.

Comentario

Armando,

Over the past few years there have been numerous inquiries regarding French relations within Jalisco/Mexico in our genealogy searches. You and several others have often replied that there was little to no influence. I was very interested because some merchants in my family came from Jalisco, and the stories say that in addition to our Spanish ancestry, we also had French ancestry in Mexico. I have have found some French connections in Mexico, but not in Jalisco. When I visited Guadalajara a few years ago, I was surprised to see so many fabric stores and department stores in the downtown area. Surely the Barcelonnettes had a touch in these, but there are few accounts of the French in the Jalisco church records for the 1800's to early 1900's. Many of the Barcelonnettes were known to have returned to their homes in France to retire, but they also married and had children in Mexico.

In my research I have found quite a bit about the Barcelonnette's Mexican connection. They owned textile plants, dry goods stores, department stores, large banks and manufacturing plants. Today the French have large communities in Monterrey, Mexico City, San Luis Potosi, Puebla and suppposedly in Guadalajara. Every August the Vallée de l’Ubaye, France celebrates its historic links with Mexico in a Latino-Mexican festival. The following is from the website www.mountainpassions.com/summer/summer_activities/ubaye_festival_mexic
"The Arnaud brothers (who pioneered the emigration) arrived in Mexico in 1818, and within fifty years owned numerous shops, a network of sales representatives in every country and outlets in Europe. Their success attracted friends and family from Ubaye to cross the Atlantic and join their compatriots. Little by little, the new entrepreneurs became industrialists rather than shopkeepers, and controlled the textile industry in Mexico. They also built up a solid financial structure and established numerous banking institutions, even putting their signature at the foot of bank notes."

The most interesting website is www.webs2002.uab.es/dep-economia-empresa/documents/04-2.pdf This site is "The Barcelonnettes: An Example of Network-Entrepreneurs in XIX Century Mexico. An Explanation Based on a Theroy of Bounded Rational Choice with Social Embeddedness", by Gonzalo Castaneda from the Department de Economia Universidad de las Americas, Puebla.

You can also find the Barcelonnettes on Wikipedia.com, including the article "French Immigration to Mexico" where I found the following information:
The number of French Immigrants to Mexico during the years 1857-1976.

1857–1860 = 578
1861–1870 = 4,292
1871–1880 = 10,706
1881–1890 = 69,363
1891–1900 = 11,395
1901–1910 = 11,862
1911–1920 = 1,352
1921–1930 = 739
1931–1940 = 626
1941–1950 = 5,538
1951–1960 = 934
1961–1970 = 1,266
1971–1976 = 85

Total 116,032

Hola Monica.

El templo de San Juan de Dios se ubica a solo 1 kilometro al norte del de San Jose Analco. De hecho el mercado Libertad ubicado a unos cuantos metros del primero, es conocidísimo como "el Mercado de San Juan de Dios", el mercado techado mas grande de latinoamerica.

Aqui un mapa

The book "The Encomenderos of New Spain 1521-1555" only lists in the index a
Diego de San Martin and a Pedro de San Martin. Neither is a compound name
with "Estrada."

Hello,
True the Library in Bonita is more like a branch library but we do have
many films from Ayotlan, Ayo El Chico and other Jalisco films. We are open
Wednesdays at 3:00 p.m. Diane Godinez is there right now if you wish to go.

Delgadillo

This is boring for most members but I have not been able to decipher most of the information in the following that is discouraging at first because images of torn and faded pages make it extremely use

I understand there was an issue with infidelity and separation of several years but cannot read enough to understand what other details are in the doument or final disposition. Also, cannot find names of other persons in the document that would give any information or clues to other famdily members. I saw the term 'desavenencia' toward the end but not sure if the marriage was dissolved. If anyone has the time to look at this, any light on the issue is greatly appreciated, and any insight on where to continue searching for more information on these ancestors of mine. If you think I should drop the subject altogether, please do not hesitate to relay that message. Thanks in advance!

Covarrubias de Tecolotlan/Juchitlan

Juan Angel Covarrubias son of Juan Covarrubias and Rosa Cobian married Maria Rosa Santana daughter of Pio Santana and Maria Castillo on February 6, 1773 in Tecolotlan, Jalisco.

Hello everyone,

Before I viewed the record image, I had already made my deduction about this case. The Covarrubias' family has been native of Jalisco since the era of the first settlers of that state's region.

I looked through the document, with all my experience in the subject and by the fact that my mother language is Spanish and can tell you that your ancestor wasn't a peninsular spanish, the document is a little bit fuzzy but I can read that he was from "Exutla", the modern writing writes it Ejutla and it's actually a municipality in Jalisco. But also, on the left side of the record it states "españoles de este pueblo" so it meant both of them were from Tecolotlán. In order to be sure about the origin of your ancestor you should look for his baptism certificate, what we're a 100% sure is that he wasn't from Spain.

I descend from the Covarrubias family and I can tell you that at least you would not connect this ancestor back to Spain for 200 years before that date.

Good luck with your research, I would like to add that I descend from that family but I'm not an expert with it, I think there any more members in this group that can help you more than me in the case of this family, hope that they read your message. However, if you have any other doubt let me know.

Enrique

Mabel,
I too have this couple in my family tree. Thank you for finding their marriage record. As is read it, after his name it reads "de este pueblo" in an abbreviated form. That means he was born in Tecolotlan. Let's see what others think.

La Montesa Filegresa de Pinos

I found the following in a PDF about Loreto, Zacatecas. It looks like Montesa was a cathedral in Pinos, Zacatecas that used to be in the parish of San Marias del Real in Pinos, but I don't understand the Spanish very well.

Port Orchard, WA

Los volúmenes de registros de nacimientos, matrimonios y entierros de los siglos
XVII, XVIII y XIX dan testimonio de la extensa actividad religiosa que la capilla tuvo, (llegó
a registrar repetidos servicios diarios) colocándole como importante Auxiliar de la
Parroquia de San Matías del Real de Pinos, de la que dependió desde su origen; después
al erigirse La Montesa en Parroquia en 1904, quedó en su demarcación; el año de
1922 fue disgregada dicha Parroquia de San Antonio de la Montesa y la capilla quedó a
control de Noria de Ángeles; que desde 1883 se erigió como Parroquia de la Purísima
Concepción, a la que perteneció hasta el 15 de diciembre de 1956 en que la vicaría fija
de la exhacienda de La Concepción fue elevada a Parroquia, a la que pertenece hasta
la fecha dentro de la Diócesis de Zacatecas.

Would you please be more specific. Are these places in Aguascalientes or Zacatecas. Thank you very much for your help. If there is anyone else that has knowledge of which state these places are located, please help.

My father-in-law was from the Rancho los Pintos, Momax, Zacatecas. I've also seen it referred to as the Pinos...but not sure if it's a typo error or if there are/were two one named Pintos and the other Pinos...
