Hello Primos/Saludos Primos!
My name is Daniel Serna Valencia. I live out in California. On my mother's, our roots run deep into Jalisco.Here are the towns and surnames I'm researching:
Valencia - Ameca, Acatlan de Juarez, Jocotepec, Teocuitatlan de Corona, Hacienda de Huejotitan (Jocotepec), Sahuayo, Cotija
Alcaraz/Oceguera/Flores de Estrada/Macias-Valadez - Poncitlan,, La Barca, Ocotlan, Jiquilpan, Sahuayo, Ixtlan, Hacienda de la Palma, Cotija
Mercado - Cuquio, Yahualica, Fresnillo
Ponce/Güitron - Talpa, Tenamaxtlan, Guachinango, Mascota, Hacienda de San Cristobal (Tenamaxtlan)
Aguirre/Navarette/de las Casas/de la Dueña - Real de San Sebastián, Hostotipaquillo, Real de la Resurrecion
Curiel - Talpa, Cuale, Mascota
Portillo - Guachinango, Mixtlan
On my wife's side I'm tracing the following:
de la Cueva/ Gutierrez/ Castañeda/ Coria/Ochoa-Garibai/ Jimenez - Tamazula, Zamora, Jiquilpan, Tlazazalca
If you share any of those last names and in the towns I mentioned, please let me know. I've made good progress on my Valencia and Alcaraz/Oceguera lines that I could discuss.
Best,
Daniel Serna Valencia
..Villaseñor and Pantoja connections to Luisa Estrada
.
Luisa Estrada’s father was married twice. One wife is closely related to the Villaseñor and Reynoso. The other wife is closely related to Juan Pantoja Portocarrero.
Alcaraz possible connection
Hi Daniel,
Do you know whether your Alcaraz family has any connection to the Alcaraz/Alexandre family of Jiquilpan, Mich?
I'm descended from Maria Alcaraz of Jilquilpan married to Geronimo de Alexandre Villaroel (either grandson or greatgrandson of Bartolome de Alexandre & Isabel Villaroel of Patzcuaro, Mich.) I descend through their son, Joseph de Alexandre (Villaroel) who moved to Ocotlan, Jal. and married Juana Hurtado de mendoza (daughter of Juan Flores de Estrada)
I've found that at least one confirmed daughter of Geronimo and Maria went mostly by the maternal surname as Juana Alcaraz. Juana and her husband, Joseph Castellanos, are padrinos to her sister's, Leonor, marriage to Juan Vargas Molina in 1720 in La Barca Jal. and is listed as Juana de Alexandre. (This makes me wonder if most of the female Alcaraz living in Poncitlan, Jal. in early 1700s are related to Geronimo de Alexandre & Maria Alcaraz since it was very rare for that area at that time.)
Paul A. Gonzales
P.S. I have a very strong connection to Ocotlan, Poncitlan, La Barca, and Jamay areas through my paternal side.
RE: Alcaraz possible connection
Hi Paul,
What an amazing coincidence! About 2-3 days ago I stumbled across the dispensa matrimonial (From the archives of Casa Morelos, archivo del antiguo Obispado de Michoacan) between Geronimo de Alexandre Villarroel y Velasquez and Maria de Alcaraz! We absolutely share a common ancestor via the Alcaraz line!
Maria de Alcaraz cc Geronimo de Alexandre Villarroel y Velasquez was the sister of Antonia de Oceguera cc Juan Flores de Estrada, my 8th great-grandparents. The sisters were daughters of Pedro Ruiz de Alcaraz and Leonor de Oceguera, my 9th great-grandparents. I know this for a fact given this dispensa matrimonial as it tells us Maria de Alcaraz's parents:
Geronimo de Alexandre Villarroel y Velasquez married twice, the first time to Ana de Alcocer (Daughter of Diego de Alcocer and Tomasina de Espinosa). The second time with Maria de Alcaraz.
You are indeed right in that Geronimo de Alexandre Villarroel y Velasquez was the grandson of Bartolome de Alexandre and Isabel de Villarroel. From what I've found in the archives, the Alexandre family tree looks like this:
Here are some links that back up some of the above information:
Hope this helps,
Daniel Serna Valencia
Alcaraz possible connection
Since I manage several trees which one are you referring to, Daniel?

RE: RE: Alcaraz possible connection
Daniel,
Wow! That's amazing! I did not expect this treasure trove of information. Part of me was beginning to wonder if I would find who Geronimo's parents were, much less to find his marriage records and Maria's parents. I find the Alexandre family fascinating! A once very wealthy and renowned family that seems to have eventually faded to relative obscurity.
Did you know that Geronimo de Alexandre and Maria de Alcaraz are in the 1683 Padron of Jiquilpan, Mich? They are listed twice. Once in the household of Pedro de Alcaraz & Leonor de Oceguera (familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939L-D9G4-C) and by themselselves with a single servant/slave (familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939L-D9LD-K).
Thank you for the new information,
Paul A. Gonzales
Descent from Don Fabian Martinez and Cathalina de Borja
To Daniel Serna Valencia,
Here is more information from my book mygenes2000 as it connects to your wife.
I) Don Fabian Martinez and Cathalina de Borja are the parents of Maria Martínez de Borja
II) Maria Martinez de Borja and Gonzalo Antúnez Yáñez, Portuguese, familiar of the Holy Office. The hacienda that Gonzalo owned was a big part of Mexican political history as Lazaro Cardenas made it the third largest ejido in Mexico in the mid to late 1950's. It also has been in the news lately for other reasons that have to do with drug trafficking and gun battles. Gonzalo and Maria are the parents of Ana de Antúnez y Borja.
III) Ana de Antúnez y Borja and Captain Don Alonso Rodriguez Martos (have his parents names, but still verifying this info as the parents surnames are completely different from his surname). Don Alonso and Ana are the parents of Antonia Antúnez de Borja (Borgia) who was left orphaned and was raised in the Convent of Santa Catalina de Sena in the city of Valladolid.
IV) Antonia Antúnez de Borja (Borgia) married Don Mathías de Villaseñor Cervantes y Nuñez del Rincon.
So your wife's line would look like this:
1). Your wife
2). Your wife's parents
3). Your wife's paternal grandparents
4). Maria Soledad Castaneda & Jose Maria Gutierrez
5). Juan Jose Castaneda & Felicitas Chavez
6). Juan Jose Castaneda & Maria Josefa Mendez
7). Maria Felipa Munguia & Jose Manuel Cruz Castaneda

12) Ana de Antúnez y Borja and Captain Don Alonso Rodriguez Martos
13) Maria Martinez de Borja and Gonzalo Antúnez Yáñez, Portuguese
14) Don Fabian Martinez and Cathalina de Borja
Mistake in copying information
Dear Daniel Serna Valencia,
I messed up and repeated a generation when typing, #10 and 11 are the same people. In one tree the line continues with Antonio Feliz Coria-Peralta Rincon parents and in the other it continues with Antonia Villaseñor's parents.
10). Antonio Feliz de Coria-Peralta & Antonia de Villasenor
11). Antonia Villaseñor and Antonio Feliz Coria Peralta Rincon
This is how it should have been typed.
1). Your wife
2). Your wife's parents
3). Your wife's paternal grandparents
4). Maria Soledad Castaneda & Jose Maria Gutierrez
5). Juan Jose Castaneda & Felicitas Chavez
6). Juan Jose Castaneda & Maria Josefa Mendez
7). Maria Felipa Munguia & Jose Manuel Cruz Castaneda
8). Miguel Munguia & Eufracia Rosalia Valdez
9). Maria Antonia "Teresa" de Coria y Villasenor & Juan "Carlos"Munguia Maciel
10). Antonio Feliz Coria- Peralta Rincon and Antonia Villaseñor
11). Alonso Coria Lomelin and Ana Nuñez Hidalgo y Fernandez del Rincon
12). Catalina Lomelin and Manuel Coria-Peralta
13). Luis Lomelin (Luciano Lomellini) and Maria Olmo
1). Your wife
2). Your wife's parents
3). Your wife's paternal grandparents
4). Maria Soledad Castaneda & Jose Maria Gutierrez
5). Juan Jose Castaneda & Felicitas Chavez
6). Juan Jose Castaneda & Maria Josefa Mendez
7). Maria Felipa Munguia & Jose Manuel Cruz Castaneda
8). Miguel Munguia & Eufracia Rosalia Valdez
9). Maria Antonia Theresa de Coria y Villasenor & Juan "Carlos" Munguia Maciel
10) Antonia Villaseñor and Antonio Feliz Coria Peralta Rincon
11). Matias Villaseñor Cervantes y Nuñez del Rincon and Antonia Rodriguez Antúñez de Borgia (Borja)
12) Capitan Francisco de Villaseñor Cervantes y Patiño and Ines Nuñez Hidalgo del Rincon
13). Juan de Villaseñor Cervantes y Guesca and Maria Patiño de Herrera y Pereyra
14). Francisco de Villaseñor y Cervantes and Leonor de Guesca (Gasca) y Reus
15). Conquistador Juan Villaseñor-Tovar y Orosco (born 1500) and Catalina Cervantes de Andrada Lara
16) Diego de Burgos Tovar (Villaseñor) (born prior 1455) and his second wife Guiomar Horosco y Sandoval (born prior 1481)
17). Diego de Villaseñor y Tovar (born between 1405-1420) Isabel de Villaseñor (Daughter of Alfonso Villaseñor)
18). comendador Juan Villaseñor Seron (Serone/Seronis) married to Elvira de Tovar y Enriquez de Castilla
19). Diego Villaseñor alcaide de Segovía married to Maria Serones (Seron)

21) Elvira Osórez and Alfonso F. Villaseñor

Sorry,
Rick A. Ricci
Thanks again Rick!
No need to apologize Rick. Thanks again for putting together the detailed trees. This is very helpful to both my wife and I!
Thank You,
Daniel Serna Valencia
Greetings, possible primo.
Daniel:
I do have several lines in Ameca, and near Acatlan de Juarez and Jocotepec, primarily in Zacoalco de Torres and Santa Catarina.
I did notice you mention Guachinango, Mascota, as well as the surname Curiel. I have lots of ancestors in these areas. The surnames that I have from Mascota, Guachinango, and/or Atenguillo are: Curiel, Peña, Diaz, Cazarez, Chavez, Topete, Macedo, Landeros, Lopez, Lozano, Gil, Sanchez, Castellon, Fregoso, Aguiar, Jimenez, Amaral. If you have any of these in your family tree, we are probably related.
As far as Curiel, the earliest document I found on a direct ancestor is the matrimonial dispensation of Domingo Curiel and Gertrudis Gil. They married around march 1758 in Mascota. They lived in San Pablo, near Atenguillo.
If any of these names sound familiar, let me know. I hope we can share and compare some data.
Saludos

Hi Steve,
The earliest Curiels I have are the following:
Jose Serapio Curiel cc Maria Teodocia Encarnacion (my 5x gg-parents), they had the following children, that I've been able to find. (All were from Mascota, Rancho de Potrillos):
Jose de Jesus Curiel (b. 1830) cc Prudencia Hernandez
Serapio de Jesus Curiel (b. 1831) cc Maria Avalos, cc Francisca Mesa
Leonides Curiel (b. 1833) cc Maria Justa Pastora Mercado (my 4x gg-parents)
From Mascota, they moved to Cuale and from there they made their way to Talpa. Given the lack of records for Mascota in the 1700s, I've reached a brick wall with this line.
I do have at least a couple of lines of Fregoso, one mine and one is my wife's:
My Fregoso line:
Me
My Parents
My Grandparents
Otilio Rodriguez cc Maria del Carmen Portillo (2nd marriage)
Emgidio Rodriguez cc Sixta Ramos
Jose Benito de Jesus Ramos cc Paulina Robles
Pedro Ramos cc Guadalupe Lugarda Fregoso
Paulino Maria Fregoso cc Andrea Josefa Ocampo
Jose Antonio Fregoso cc Juana Quiteria Gomez Garcia
Sebastian Fregoso cc Maria de Arechiga
Juan Fregoso cc Angela Enrriquez Beltran
Domingo Fregoso cc Francisca Sanchez Conde
Leonardo Fregoso cc Bernardina Farfan
My wife's Fregoso line:
My wife
Her parents
Her grand-parents
Maria Maclovia Santillan cc Manuel Salazar
Jose Jesus Santillan cc Francisca Fregoso
Leonardo Martin Fregoso cc Manuela Casian
Felipe de Jesus Fregoso cc Maria Encarnacion Diaz
Maria Gertrudis Fregoso cc ??? She had Felipe out of wedlock (hijo natural)
Juan Angel Fregoso cc Antonia Rafaela Pacheco
Domingo Fregoso cc Beatriz de Hijar
Juan Fregoso cc Angela Enrriquez Beltran
Domingo Fregoso cc Francisca Sanchez Conde
Leonardo Fregoso cc Bernardina Farfan
I'm going to guess that your Fregoso ancestors intersect with one of both of ours. :-) Do they?
Best,
Daniel Serna Valencia
Greetings, primo
Indeed, I have also had a hard time with my Mascota ancestors. The earliest records were burned during the Reforma War, and I have to go through the marriage dispensations in Guadalajara to find clues about my ancestors. Luckily, lots of families in the area intermarried, and that's how I've been able to extend my family tree in that region.
Indeed, we are related through our Fregoso line this way:
Me
My parents
Maria Luisa Gomez, married Arnulfo Apodaca
Elena Curiel, married Urbano Gomez
Maria de Jesus Peña, married Ygnacio Curiel
Efren Peña, partnered Pantaleona Cazarez
Maria Eleuteria Topete, married Jose Maria Peña
Rudecindo Topete, married Maria Josefa Curiel
Juana Maria Fregoso, married Santiago Rafael Topete
Simon Thadeo Fregoso, married Maria Margarita Barrera (or Barreda)
Domingo Fregoso, married Beatriz de Hijar Bracamonte
Juan Fregoso, married Angela Enrriquez Beltran
Domingo Fregoso, married Francisca Sanchez Conde
I've been able to find my last Fregoso ancestors through the matrimonial dispensation of Juan Flores de Arechiga and Juana Henrriquez Fregoso, daughter of Juan Fregoso. However, I have not been able to connect to Leonardo Fregoso and Bernardina Farfan. Another member from the forum told me that Leonardo was the father of Domingo, but I have not been able to find an original document that connects them. How did you determine that relationship?
Also, I wonder if you have info about Leonardo's children from his other marriage (Chavez). I have Chavez Fragoso ancestors from Aguascalientes, but I just haven't been able to connect with Leonardo, yet.
Domingo Fregoso's parents.
Steve,
In an old Nuestros Ranchos post, I found the following post by Guillermo Tovar de Teresa:
http://www.nuestrosranchos.org/node/19241?page=1
================================================================
Contenido del testamento de Leonardo Fregoso
Submitted by gmotovar@prodig... on Sun, 2011-02-20 18:00.
Por equivocación, creo que envié otro datos dirigidos a un investigador de Granada, quien me pidió ayuda para situar al Tesorero Alonso de Mérida (1539-1550).
Pero, lo de Leonardo Fregoso consiste en lo siguiente:
-El testamento de encuentra en el AIPEJ, ante el protocolo de Juan Sedano, volumen V, folios 59 fte hasta 62 fte.
-Dice haber sido casado dos veces. La primera con Ana de Chávez, con quien tuvo a Pedro de Chávez Fregoso.
-La segunda con Bernardina Farfán, con quien hubo y procreó a Domingo (de treinta años, marido de Francisca Sánchez Conde); a Leonardo Fregoso; a tres monjas profesas del Convento de Santa Maria de Gracia de Guadalajara, de nombre Bernardina de Santa Clara, Juliana de San Leonel y Maria de Santa Ursula y, por último, a Gerónima de la Cueva, casada con Francisco de Velasco y Temiño. Yo desciendo de Domingo y de Gerónima.
-Entre sus bienes menciona una hacienda de moler metales en el Real de Santiago, jurisdicción de las Minas de Ostotipac.
-El testamento se halla fechado el 2 de julio de 1635.
-Existe en el AGIS, un documento que nos lo muestra como un gran maestro en el arte de amalgamación de metales, al modo de Bartolomé de Medina, cuando recibe un reconocimiento del Rey Felipe II.
Espero que esto te sirva y me da mucho gusto compartirlo contigo, que para eso estamos, para servir a los miembros de nuestra comunidad.
Saludos
Guillermo Tovar de Teresa

Thank You for all the wonderful info Rick!
My wife and I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to compile such a treasure trove of genealogical info! We're still amazed at how, with your help, we've been able to find ancestors that tie us back to old country.
Thanks again and we look forward to your book!
Gracias Primo!

Maria Refugio Ochoa
Dear Daniel Serna Valencia,
I mistakenly wrote "Jose Refugio Ochoa" when I meant to write "Maria Refugio Ochoa" as your wife's great great grandmother. She was the daughter of Jose María Ochoa Mojica
We know Juan Merlo's maternal grandparents but one source names his mother on one page and then a few pages later names her sister as his mother.
We know Martin Alfonso Merlo's ancestry as I had already studied this line many years ago when researching other possible ancestors.
Martin Alfonso Merlo.
Juan Merlo el Bravo and Guiomar Ulloa Yanez (born about 1430)
Juana Merlo Ulloa (b.1448) and Gonzalo Pantoja Portocarrero
Pedro Pantoja-Portocarreo(b. Abt 1468)and Catalina Rodriguez
juan Pantoja-Portocarrero (b.abt.1490) and Maria de la Pena
Catalina Pantoja Pena Ulloa (born about 1515) and Alonso De la Cueva Mendoza
Bernardina Hurtado de Mendoza Pantoja Ulloa (born about 1533) and Gonzalo nunez de Sotomayor

Maria Refugio Ochoa and Ramon Gutierrez
Jose María Gutierrez and María Soledad Castaneda

Rick A. Ricci
Bernarda de Coria-Peralta Lomelin and Jose Villaseñor y Figueroa
I descend from Bernarda de Coria-Peralta Lomelin, a great paternal aunt of your ancestor of Gertrudis Coria Lomelin y Villaseñor. I am also related through the Villaseñor because Bernarda's husband is Jose Villaseñor y Figueroa who is related to Gertrudis's mother, Antonia Vilaseñor y Borgia.
I have done much work on the Coria-Peralta and Villaseñor family trees. Some of the work I have posted here on Nuestrosranchos. Those posts are more recent. The Pantoja-Portocarrero ancestry is Juana Nunez de Sotomayor's ancestry and that post was work I think I did a couple of years ago. The Portocarrero ancestry goes back many years and is a mix of of 'cristiano Viejo' and Jewish converts that converted way before the forced Jewish conversions that we are more familiar with. The Portocarrerro line does descend from a king of Leon.

Juan Merlo "el Bravo" is one of the greatest Knights of all time. He went to Germany to prove it. The date and event were recorded for all time when a giant earthquake hit on the same day of his winning challenge.

Wow, that certainly takes my wife quite a few generations on that branch as well! Very exciting to say the least! Thank You.

RE: Bernarda de Coria-Peralta Lomelin and Jose Villaseñor y Figu
Dear Daniel,
I recently helped another member of nuestroranchos with their family line. The line I was helping them with was the same branch as that last line that you gave me on your wife's paternal ancestry. The parents would be close to fifth cousins. I would have to pull his line and put it next to your wife's to see exactly how close the lines are.
A Merlo family member is involved in a famous story that is considerered the Spanish 'Romeo and Juliet'. Juan Merlo was born in Spain but his father's family Portuguese. His father was a big shot in the court in Castilla but his grandfather's family was close to the Portuguese royalty.
The ancestry doesn't stop there. I have many more names and stories that you will find interesting. It is all in my book that I haven't published yet.
Thanks,
Rick A. Ricci
Introduction
I also am working on Vasquez de Mercado and I'm stuck on Juan Vasquez de Mercado and Ines Rangel de Acuna. It is my direct paternal line. I did do a Y-DNA test which confirms my direct paternal ancestor did come from the old world. I'm also originally from CA. Welcome to NR!
Alex Mercado
Mercado Vasquez in Zacatecas
Dear Alex,
Please provide more information if you want help on Juan Vasquez de Mercado and Ynes Rangel de Acuña. Who are their kids? What years are they likely to be alive? Where did they reside? Did they move around a lot or did they mainly stay in one or two places? Who were their padrinos in their kids baptisms? Do you have any specific information on them?
There were different lines of descent that carried the Mercado Vasquez surname. There are Vasquez de Mercado or Mercado de Vasquez throughout Mexico.
One of them was started when with Juan de la Cueva del Mercado, Señor de la Casa de la Cueva de Úbeda y doña Leonor de San Martín Vázquez de Acuña. They had a son named Juan de la Cueva Mercado Vasquez.
From Spain to Fresnillo, Zacatecas. mexico
A second line of Mercado Vasquez, or Vasquez de Mercado line originated with Lic. Ginés de Mercado y Inés Vázquez.
They had a son named Gines de Mercado y Vasquez. This line of descent is the one that the Vasquez de Mercado from Fresnillo, Zacatecas, descend from.
1). Lic. Ginés de Mercado ) y Inés Vázquez,
2). Capitán Ginés Vázquez de Mercado (b. in Talavera, Spain, d. 1553, Juchipila) and Ana Vázquez de Tapia (d. Before husband as he is a widower in his later years) ), Ginés and his wife Ana were cousins.
They had one son and three daughters.
Your Juan Vasquez de Mercado that is married to Ynes Rangel de Acuña is most likely a descendant of one of these four siblings.
Thanks,
Rick

Thanks for the warm welcome Rick and everyone else. Glad to be here.
Rick, I did indeed view your most informative post and I shared it with my wife who was amazed(and thankful) at how far back you were able to trace back that lineage. On that branch my wife descends from Bonifacio de Ochoa-Garibay as follows:
Bonifacio de Ochoa-Garibay y Gutierrez de Robles cc Gertrudis de Coria y Villasenor
Leonardo Ambrocio de Ochoa-Garibay cc Josefa Jimenez y Maciel
Francisco Thomas de Ochoa cc Maria Josefa Mojica
Jose Maria Ochoa cc Maria Dolores Villanueva
Maria Refugio Ochoa cc Ramon Gutierrez
Jose Maria Gutierrez cc Maria Soledad Castaneda

On the Valencia front, I'm intrigued to know that there was a Valencia family in Ocotlan. I wasn't aware of it until now. I'm always on the lookout for any Valencias in Jalisco to see if and how they are related to other Valencias in Jalisco and Michoacan. If I run across any info regarding Nicolas Valencia and Josepha Martinez in my searches, I'll let you know.
Thank You,
Daniel Serna Valencia
Nicolas Valencia and Josepha Martinez
Dear Daniel,
Thanks for offering to look out for Nicolas Valencia and Josepha Martinez. I am also related to you and your wife through other lines. I am related to you through the Velasco, Figueroa, Cervantes, Macias Valadez , Coria-Peralta Villaseñor, Lomelin, Sotomayor-Pantoja, Boccanegra,and others.
I have done a lot of research on the Boccanegra, Coria-Peralta line, the Lomelin lines (both Carlo and Luis), Juana Nunez de Sotomayors line, and the Villaseñor Cervantes family and others that you are also researching. Some of the information I have posted. I am working hard at putting together a book soon, but I keep finding more information that I need to add.
Remember to not believe all the postings on geni.com or geneanet as there are many mistakes in those postings.
Thanks again,
Rick A. Ricci
Ochoa - Garbay. = Otxoa Garibai. = Garibay Ybarlucea

Hi Daniel,
Yes, please feel free to contact me via email at: themexican@outlook.com and we can certainly compare notes.
Thanks,
Daniel Serna Valencia
Valencia
.
I have many Valencia and they are from Chilchota Michoacan and some from Cotija and my line moved to Jalisco. Also the Munguia line. My Gr-grandmother Maria Merced Munguia married to Longino Gutierrez. I have taken her back to Juan Carlos Munguia and Teresa Coria. I see you have them back one more generation. Can you share where you found that record? My files are on Rootsweb.com and my file name is Mexico.

Daniel,

Danny C. Alonso
Fresnillo records
Hi Danny,
Unfortunately, I don't. I've looked, but, haven't found any other sources of pre-familysearch fresnillo records, beyond dispensas. I'm looking for info related to my Vazquez del Mercado ancestors.
Best,
