Hope I'm doing this right.
I'm looking for Estefana Dias and her marriage to REdecindo Torres. Estefana's parents were Tadeo Dias and Genoveva Leanos. They resided in Santa Maria De Los Angeles,Jalisco,Mexico. The closest date I have is 1846 when a brother Florentino Diaz was married to Brigida Cabrera on October 8th, 1846.
I'm currently looking on familysearch.org but am unsure how to go about ordering the film number. An even bigger problem-No hablo o leo espanol!
Any advice on how to pursue this task would be greatly appreciated.
Gracias.

apparently Estefana had different parents. I show Tadeo Diaz and Josefa Torres.
The Tadeo Diaz you refer to is apparently not this one. That Tadeo was married to Genoveva Leanos between 1819 and 1848 and had many children, one of whom is Florentino.
Estefana was born in January 1830. Unless she was an illegitimate child, you have the wrong father.

Florentino is married to my 3rd cousin 2x removed Brigida Cabrera.

yeah marty, joseph could explain the process more clearly than I could, but i do help people with finding links to a digital copies of a record when i have the time to find it but to warn ya, my research focuses more on huejucar, colotlan, jerez, and tepetongo, but occasionally on tlaltenango, monte escobedo, and mesquitic. places elsewhere like sant maria de los angeles not so much but i've looked there a few times mainly since a few ancient( like 1800's ancient) relatives married there.
also check these two places for marriage records

Looking for roots of Estefana
here's the link to florentino's marriage record

if i were you i'd check the pages for marriages between 5-10 years either before or after 1846, if you can't find what you are looking for then try looking for records in colotlan and huejucar
