Muchas Gracias por su valiosa ayuda en este sitio , podría ser tan amable de decirme si tiene algún Dato sobre Geronima de la Cueva hija de Leonardo Fregoso Tía de Tomasina de Velasco y Zúñiga el por que? no se llamo Geronima Fregoso Farfan como le correspondía por sus Padres.

Comment

Es un placer, Ignacio.

No tengo más información sobre Geronima de la Cueva. Lo que tengo lo obtuve de la discusión que hubo en un tema de foro de Nuestros Ranchos.

Conforme entiendo en el siglo XVI los apellidos aún no se tomaban tan definidamente como hoy (Nombre, Apellido Paterno, Apellido Materno). Podía haber el llamado patronímo (por ejemplo: si "Fernando" era hijo de "Pedro", su nombre era "Fernando Pérez". Si el hijo de dicho "Fernando" se llamaba "Juan", entonces sería Juan Fernández). Eventualmente las familias fueron adoptando un patronímico y pasándolo de generación a generación. Con el ejemplo anterior, el hijo de "Juan Fernández" pudo optar por mantener el Fernández y todos sus descendietes se llamaron Fernández, es entonces cuando se le puede decir apellido. Pero tambien había varios casos donde los descendientes escogían qué patronímico usar basado en un ancestro que admiraban. Todo esto hace que nuestras búsquedas sean más difíciles en el siglo XVI y

This is a link to a .Pueblo now called Carrillos(San Nicolas) It shows a map and places it on Hwy. 205 just NW of Apulco, Zac. Between Nochistlan and Teocaltiche.

When looking for pueblos and ranchos, .. Use Google Type
the name + the nearby town + (either of these sites) telepaisa or pueblos America.

Telepaisa offers a map either satellite or road.
Pueblos America only satellite.

There is a third.. I have forgotten the name.. but I posted the subject on NR just two weeks ago. David

Hi there Saul, nice to meet you, I don't really have that much of a genealogy done, my only information is the first generation of Quiralte in Nochistlán, which is far from complete, from there I just followed my line that went to Jalisco. but you can always check my website, there I will be putting all the information I have in Family Tree, (since they are not making it truly public) with explanations on each link. Any comment/correction are always appreciated.

Thank you David, indeed, that place has the name on it, I come across with Los Carrillos a while ago, I just haven't found if they are the same, I guess I would have to search for the Carrillo family to find out if they owned that place and thus the change of name. thanks for the tip.

Hi Emilie,

I saw your response and noticed that you know someone with the Acosta name. Does your sister in law get into genealogy as well? I'd like to know more info on this line. I also checked if you were following this line (Acosta) but didn't see it in your list of surnames but I did see you're interested in the name "de Aro"? My 4th great grandmother is Corona de Aro(b.1769) who was married to Juan Jose Acosta (b.1753) and they had at least one son named Jose Maria Acosta (1790-1859) who was married to Martina Castaneda (1796-1841). I'm wondering if there's a connection?

Thanks
Jose Acosta

my MTDNA was A and in Mexico that would be Nahua but the tribes/bands of the states and Canada are sure a lesson in migration.

Hi Laura,my mTDNA haplogroup is also B4'5. My grandmother was born just outside of Tucson in an area called "Rillito" before Arizona was even a part of the United States.

Her ancestors were likely the Tohono O'odham (Pima),Puebloan or Hopi peoples. Her paternal side were some of the first European settlers in the area and they were Spanish\Basques from Navarra.

B4'5 is interesting as it does not appear to have originated in Siberia as some of the other native American markers did, but appears to have originated closer to China, Mongolia or Tibet.

It's also interesting that it is found among Southeastern Asians, Polynesians in addition to Tibetans, Altai, Chinese and Japanese peoples.

Best,

Robert Gonzalez~

Hello Laura,

I was wondering if you are Laura A. Gonzalez, if so, we match on Chromosomes 6 @11.28cms, 9 at11.74cms, and 11 @5.11cms.  Like you, I'm not sure how to use it, so what I'm doing is totally the attempt of an amateur to make sense of this.  First, I'm charting people with matches of 5.5cms or more, and second, further breaking it down to those whose 5.5 or more results appear on 3 or more chromosomes.  I figure that the higher and more frequent the matches, the better the match.  Even so, with autosomal DNA being the crap shoot that it is, it will be difficult to find real, documentable matches.  Therefore, it's my untrained understanding, that if you are Laura A. Gonzalez, we are indeed distantly related; however, who is our common ancestor, that is the question.  The more people that test, the better our chances. 
Good luck and have fun with it.
Alice

Looks like this is the parish's YouTube channel.

Here's a satellite map and some pertinent info about the town of Santa Clara de Valladares in the municipio (county) of Tacumbo in Michoacan:
http://mexico.pueblosamerica.com/i/santa-clara-de-valladares/

So, Santa Clara de Valladares, Michoacan is about an hour or so SE of Quitupan, Jalisco. They're near the border between those states, so over time the parish and its records may have changed between states, keep that in mind when you're looking.

What you posted looks like the parish address, including postal code (cp), so you should be able to write them, too. "Known Addresses" are valid in Mexico.

How's your Spanish? Because the Wikipedia on Tocumbo is great in Spanish, woefully inadequate in English. http://es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tocumbo_(municipio)
I noticed someone named Andrade was one of the town elders in 1800. Maybe a relative of yours?

I was told Antonia was a very devoted Catholic.

Starting about 1862, all municipios were required by law to keep civil records of all births, deaths and marriages. And they mostly have indices in them, at least the ones I have read have all had an index in them.

So if you do a location search in familysearch, look in the civil records vice the parish records.

Hello DNA cousin Randy,
 
I remember my mother telling me about these ruins.  She was told by the adults to stay away because of evil spirits.  They probably didn't want the kids to disturb the ruins.  I believe they are just outside of the small town of Teocaltitan de Guadalupe which I have visited.  This town is also the site where Santo Pedro Esqueda was martyred during the Cristiada.  He was also the priest who performed the marriage of my maternal grandparents in San Juan de los Lagos.  Unfortunately I have not visited the ruins , but do recall reading that this area was originally an Indian village.

Alfonso Ruiz de Temiño y Dona Sancha Velasco

I believe the following is in reference to an inquiry by Brother Diego de Temino regarding the will of Alfonso Ruiz de Temiño y Dona Sancha Velasco. I would appreciate any help with a translation.

Comment

Randy,

The document reads as follows:

Information made at petition of friar Diego de Temino, dominican cleric, ("de sur el" appears to be an error in transcription, it means, "him from the south") and on behalf of his brother Bartolome de Temino y Banuelos, descendants of the honorable house of Temino, and consequently of well known nobility (hijos hidalgos). Monastery of Rodilla, July 10, 1561. Followed by writings regarding the founding of the primogeniture granted to Alonso Ruiz de Temiño and Doña Sancha Velasco his wife, by power of king Henry IV, in Segovia on december 21, 1465. Temino township of la Bureba, October 12, 1470. Genealogical information of Bartolome de Temino y Banuelos follows. Zacatecas, June 10, 1589. Certified copy granted in Mexico in the year 1709. M-66, pages 211-427.

New Member Introduction related to De La Cruz, Placencia from San Miguel El Alto, JAL

Hi everyone,

Comments

Comment

One of the De la Cruz family lines from San Miguel el Alto is closely related to the Lomeli family from San Miguel el Alto. It was through my research of the Lomelin that I was able to find the origin of their close De la Cruz relatives. Three brothers from San Juan de Los Lagos went to San Miguel el alto and started those lines. One used His fathers Lomelini surname, another used his mothers de la Crus surname (sometimes De la Santa Cruz), while the third initially used de la Cruz and did not use Lomelin until he married a third cousin descendent from the same lomellin family. This last brother stayed in contact with both the de la Cruz and the Lomelin lines and left descendents with both surnames. My wife descends from this third brother. My wife's maternal grandfather only used Lomelin but continued recognizing the close familial relationship with the De La Cruz until he passed away at 92 years old. His grand father was the third brother.

R.A.Ricci

Comment

Thank you R.A.

I will check into this line to see if there is a connection. I know at one point, I pulled all the De La Cruz around 1860s. I'm sure there is a connection there but the one that I was interested in was Decidero De La Cruz. I found his father and mother listed on his marriage record which led to the baptismal record.

Comment

Have you been able to go into the 1700's with the de la Cruz line and if so, are they still in San Miguel?
At that time my wives family are then in San Juan de Los Lagos .

R.A.,
I'm just at the end of 1700's with one reference to parents through a marriage record. I've been unable to find the parents yet although I'm not done researching San Miguel El Alto church records. I haven't started looking around nearby churches yet. Nothing is popping up through Family Search or Ancestry.com. I guess this is where I have to roll up my sleeves and look at individual records including San Juan de Los Lagos. Thanks for the tip!

I checked out your family genealogy line and either I don't have enough info or I'm following a De La Cruz that is not part of Lomelin line…I haven't determined yet. BTW I had to set this aside for awhile due to the holiday and just needing a break. Out of curiosity, how long have you been researching your family's ancestors?

He estado buscando entre otras cosas, por el Origen de Gabriel Serna y Catarina Frausto. En los nacimientos que se llama Catarina Frausto.
Tuvieron 5 hijos
Narciso n. 1800 m.con Sirica Duran y Clara Ortiz
Norberto n.1805 m. a Ramona Cervantes
Ma. Guadalupe. n.1806 m. a Honorato Esparza
Macedonio n. 1814 m. a Edwarda Macias
Ydelfonso n. 1820 m. a Nicodimes Duran.

Datos he encontrado ..
1. En el matrimonio de Ydelfonso ella es llamada Catarina de Lara.
2. En la Confirmación de Ma. Guadalupe es Catarina Lara.
3. En el Bautismo de Macedonio fueron los padrinos; Esteban Frausto y Gertrudis Lara.

Ya que ellos son nombrados como padrinos a su hijo y ella ha sido nombrada Frausto y Lara; Tengo la esperanza de encontrar que esta Esteban Frausto y Gertrudis Lara son sus padres. Cualquier información que usted tiene se agradece.

Rosales and Amaya, Ejutla, Jalisco

Someone had mentioned they were researching the Amaya's in Autlan--but I can't locate the post.

For Esther, Enrique, Leon, and all NR members who may find this helpful.

Again, I was searching through the Matrimonial Information records during an increasingly frustrating search for the Rosales family line. I found this:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18622-42791-36?cc=1874591&wc…

Seems like another piece of our puzzle. Any Ideas, please let me know. To me Manuel and Antonia Maldonado may be parents of Juan Rosales-Mexia. Also I'm sure you have seen the Matrimonial Dispensation for Elvira Amaya--who I personally believe is the sister of Bernarda Amaya (no absolute proof). This Manuel Rosales gives testament in the Dispensa.
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18424-12579-25?cc=1874591&wc…

The odd thing is that Elvira is listed as 16 y/o, which means she would have been born about 1717, but Elvira Casares died 30 Nov. 1713.

Hello Deedra and León:

Firstly, Deedra I've been trying to connect your Juan Rosales Mejía with my ancestors and here is what I have, hope this helps you. I looked at your ancestors marriage certificate in Ejutla in 26 Feb 1726, the record only states that they were "velados" but it doesn't mention they were "casados", I see you have another date for Autlán, some months before and I imagine that certificate doesn't mention too the names of their parents. I see the padrinos were Agustín Rosales Mejía and Gertrudis de las Ruelas, I imagine this could be the Agustín that was the son of Manuel Rosales Mejía and María de Contreras y Vízcaino. If that, Juan could be maybe the brother of Agustín that was baptized on 1677 but by the date he married in 1728 he should have had 52 years and he would be really old by that time. Well, by now that is what I have. I'll be searching for other possibilities and also for your Amayas', I haven't also succeeded with mine.

León, as a first thought I

Dear Enrique,

Thank you so much for your interesting comments. I will take a look and search for those records regarding the Captain Manuel Rosales y Mejía.

I only have another data to add: The marriage record of Gertrudis Rosales y Mejía/Miguel Hurtado de Mendoza mentions that both parents of Gertrudis were deceased (1712). Gertrudis was baptised on August 8th 1694 -Tonalá- but I do not remember the name of her godparents. Although it is another theme but have you heard of other Romero Maldonado in the area? I have been trying to find the parents of Antonia Romero Maldonado but without success. I think that perhaps she is related to Captain Leonardo Romero Maldonado

Best regards,

Great discovery, Deedra! Perhaps she is related to:

1671-02-15 Madrid
Real Cédula al presidente y oidores de la Audiencia de Guadalajara, en relación a una carta de José Romero Maldonado en la que informaba del nombramiento por la Audiencia de Juan Maldonado de Saavedra, su padre, como fiscal interino de la Audiencia, vacante por promoción del licenciado Juan Cesati a una plaza de oidor, con un salario de 1.000 ducados de plata anuales, que debía restituir si consiguiese la confirmación de él en tres años, oficio que no pudo terminar de servir ya que fue comisionado por el virrey marqués de Mancera para ocuparse en asuntos en la provincia de Campeche, donde falleció, procediendo entonces la Audiencia contra José Romero Maldonado, su hijo, para que restituyese 472 pesos que su padre había cobrado, concediéndole dos años mas de prórroga para solicitar dicha confirmación, informándoles por la presente Cédula que dicha confirmación se ha denegado y ordenándoles que informen con qué

Thank you Leon,
Looks like a good chance for a possible connection. I had been pursuing Antonia's
parents as: Juan Maldonado y Saavedra and Magdalena de Vera (I believe this is the same Juan in this declaration). A sad bit of new, it appears Antonia died in childbirth with daughter: Antonia Nicolasa, The baptism mentions "defuncta" which makes her death Feb. 1696--unfortunately death records are not available in Sayula or Tonaya.

Estimado Erik, Deedra y Enrique,

Permiteme, pero tengo un dato que tal vez seria util en esta investigacion. D. Juan Maldonado y Saavedra caso Da. Magdalena de Vera el 22 de noviembre de 1636 en la parroquia de la Asuncion, Ciudad de Mexico. Este era hijo de D. Leonardo Romero Maldonado y Da. Agustina Suarez de Saavedra. En algunos registros Agustina se hace Agustina de Castilla. D. Magdalena de Vera era hija de Blas Ximenez y Da. Ana de Vera Cervantes. Seguro, Ana era pariente de los Cervantes, familia poderosa y afluente en la historia colonial de Mexico. Estas lines son de interes. Por favor, siguemos en comunicacion sobre el tema.

Un saludo,

Estimados Daniel, Deedra y Enrique:

Daniel, muchas gracias por tu siempre interesante aporte. Solo me gustaría comentar que la esposa del Capitán Leonardo Romero Maldonado, Agustina Suárez de Saavedra fue Encomendera de Tlacalaguastla (Nueva Galicia).
Agustina -también conocida por los apellidos Saavedra de la Rosa- fue hija de Juan Suárez de la Rosa y de Francisca Saavedra (Hija del Capitán Antonio de Arroyo, conquistador de la Nueva Galicia); por el lado paterno Agustina era nieta del Conquistador Francisco Santos de la Rosa.

Respecto al apellido "Castilla", pienso que es un error de lectura. La esposa del Capitán Antonio de Arroyo se llamó Mencía Costilla de Saavedra.

De Blas Ximénez existe información sobre sus antepasados como descendiente de conquistadores hijodalgos en su confirmación de oficio como Escribano en la Ciudad de Méjico)

Lo anterior puede verificarse en:
- Archivo General de Indias: MEXICO,223,N.11 "Informaciones: Leonardo Romero Maldonado" 1600.
- Andariegos

Estimado Erik,

Gracias por compartillar estos datos y sus fuentes con nosotros. Encontre en PARES sobre los inventorio de bienes lo siguiente:

Estimado Daniel,

Respecto a la esposa del Escribano Real y Teniente de Alguacil Mayor de la Ciudad de Méjico Blas Ximénez su apellido correcto es Caravantes que fácilmente se confunde con Cervantes. Ana de Vera y Caravantes era hija de Francisco de Caravantes y Vera y de Ana Beltrán, nieta de Gabriel de Caravantes y Montoya, natural de Sevilla, Secretario de la Santa Cruzada en la Nueva España y su esposa Juana de Vera.

Gabriel era hijo de Mateo de Montoya y de Catalina de Caravantes; Juana de Vera era hija de Pedro de Vera y Soria y de Beatriz Ruiz Renfijo.

Ambos descienden de linajes de Soria; Caravantes al linaje de don Vela y Vera a Chancilleres y don Vela.

Un saludo,

Erik Reynoso.

Enrique, I've been following up on different threads and decided to work a bit on this family. Manuel Rosales and Maria de Contreras y Viscaino had 4 children that I was able to locate all born in Sayula: Manuel B. 1674; Augustin B. 8 Oct. 1675;Juan B. 25 Jul, 1677; Antonio B.4 Aug, 1679; and Maria B. 7 April, 1681. Maria Rosales married Juan de Dios Sanchez Vigil in Cocula on 8 May, 1698

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18433-23257-10?cc=1874591&wc…

In the entry it names the parents as Manuel Rosales and Maria Viscaino (Defuncta)which would place her death prior to May, 1698. I'm not sure this is helpful in determining whether this Manuel is the same married to Antonia Romero...but I think it opens the door a little wider. What do you think? Also, could you send me the link to Manuel's birth in 1674--I couldn't locate it. Also, I have Manuel, the son as child of Antonia Romero due to the information from his marriage to Josefa Telles Rios; was the

Hello Deedra:

I was the one who posted the topic about the Amaya's. My ancestors were Juan José Olivera and Juana María Amaya, I have four registered sons from them going from 1772 to 1779 all from Autlán. No more info. about this couple.

I'm Rosales Mejía too, my ancestor was Antonio Rosales married with Gertrudis Caro y Rentería (I don't have her parents) and Antonio's parentes were Manuel Rosales Mejía and María de Contreras y Vízcaino, she is a descendant from Sebastián Vízcaino, possibly a natural son of the viceroy Luis de Velasco y Ruíz de Alarcón. Have you any further information about Manuel Rosales Mejía? or from the origin of the Rosales Mejía family? I don't know from where does this compound surname comes from.

Besides this, I have Arechiga also in my family tree.

I will really aprecciate if you have any of these answers.

Thanks in advance.

Enrique,

I am new to researching my family tree, I am not sure how to find more information. I have searched through ancesty.com and have built a Rosales Tree back to about 1750. My Rosales's come from around your area, but you seem to be further back! My oldest Rosales is Joseph Antonio Rosales born abt 1750 in the San Nicolas area of Jalisco. Can you make a connection or advise me where I should search next.

Hi Esther,

Well let me tell you that I have a José Antonio Rosales married with Gertrudis García de Alba in 28 January 1731, this are my ancestors too but considering the date of possible birth of your José Antonio, it wouldn't be possible to be the same. They had a son named Antonio José Rosales married with María Micaela de Villalvazo, I hope this may be useful.

I would like to know the name of your ancestor's wife, so with that information it would be easier for me to trace your line back. You said you have searched through Ancestry.com, I recommend you to use Familysearch.org. marriage certifiFor sure you'll find there various birth certificates and possibly acate of your ancestors. Also, if you don't have a marriage record, you can use the godparentes information to see if they were the grandparents or the uncles of the child.

Follow those advices and I think you'll finf some new info. contact me in any case if you want some help.

Hello Enrique,
Can I ask you how far back have you gone with your Rosales line? Do you have an idea who are the parents of Juan Rosales Mexia? and what is the origin of the name combination of Rosales-Mexia?

I am convinced his wife Bernarda's parents were Agustin Amaya and Elvira Casares. I have not found a document that names them explicitly, however, Agustin used the name Velasco up until about 1704, he died in El Limon, Ejutla in 1746--and when I checked the census in Autlan in 1748 I found all of Bernarda's children listed with the children of Agustin's other children (cousins). Do you have any other insights?

Thank you,
Deedra Corona

I also have a Rosales y Mexía line:

An 8th grandmother was Xaviera Hurtado de Mendoza y Rosales y Mexia, wife of Juan Francisco Noreña Guevara y Martínez de la Vega. She was daughter of Miguel Estanislao Hurtado de Mendoza y de Lubiano & Gertrudis Rufina Rosales y Mejía.

Miguel and Gertrudis married in 1712 in the S. Metropolitano, Guadalajara, Nueva Galicia. In their marriage it is specified that he is from Patzcuaro -son of Jacinto Hurtado de Mendoza and Agustina de Lubiano y Ortega- and that she -Gertrudis- is the daughter of Manuel Rosales y Mejia and Antonia Romero Maldonado.

The baptismal record of Gertrudis does not add any other information except that her father Manuel is a Captain.

Enrique, could this Manuel Rosales y Mejía that married Antonia Romero Maldonado be the same as your ancestor that married -first or second nuptials- María de Contreras y Vizcaíno?

Best Regards,
