To my knowledge, up to this point I have not seen and evidence that the parents of Melchora de los Reyes(m. Luis Delgadillo) are Rodrigo de Caravajal and Melchora de los Reyes. Jaime Holcombe in his Diversas Cartas proposes an ancestry where both Melchora de los Reyes are the same person, married at some point to both Luis Delgadillo and Rodrigo de Caravajal. Jose Luis Vazquez y Rodriguez de Frias correctly states Melchora de los Reyes is the daughter of Melchora de los Reyes and Rodrigo de Carabajal in Chapter 16 of "Genealogia de Nochistlan...", however does not provide any proof. Vazquez's Chapter 79 discusses Rodrigo de Caravajal and Melchora de los Reyes (which I do not have a copy of). With the assistance of the aforementioned works, I believe I have found proof of Melchora de los Reyes parents.

Dispensa #1
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-669W-N1?mode=g&i=263&wc=3J…

1727, Nochistlan: This dispensa is for the marriage of Joseph Diaz to Nicolasa Delgadillo h.l. of Joseph Delgadillo and Juana Yanez. This dispensa is important because is illustrates Melchora de los Reyes (m. Luis Delgadillo) is sister to Juan Rodriguez de Caravajal (important later).

Relationship disclosed:

Melchora de los Reyes..(sibling)..Juan Rodriguez de Caravajal
(m. Luis Delgadillo)..............(m. Ana Maria, indian)
Hernando Delgadillo......(2)......Melchora de los Reyes
(m. Andrea de Rodas)..............(m. Antonio de Villalobos Alcaraz)
Joseph Delgadillo........(3)......Maria Villalobos
(m. Juana Yanez)
Nicolasa Delgadillo......(4)......Joseph Diaz

Parenthesis added by me.

Thus it is proven that Melchora de los Reyes is a sibling to Juan Rodriguez de Caravajal.

Dispensa #2
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-6V9S-89?mode=g&i=314&wc=3J…

1725, Nochistlan: This dispensa is for the marriage of Manuel Rodriguez h.l. Gaspar Rodriguez and Geronima Munoz to Ana Diaz h.l. of Sebastian Diaz and Ana Villalobos. This dispensa is important because is tells us the two children of Juan Rodriguez de Caravajal and that the mother of his children is an indian named Ana Maria.

Relationship disclosed:

Ana Maria, mother of
Gaspar Rodriguez.....(sibling)...Melchora Rodriguez
(m. Geronima Munoz)..............(m. Antonio de Villalobos Alcaraz)
Manuel Rodriguez.......(2).......Ana de Villalobos
.............................................(Sebastian Diaz)
...................................(3)......Ana Diaz

Parenthesis added by me.

Now we know that Juan Rodriguez de Carabajal had two children with an indian woman, Ana Maria.

Marriage record of Melchora de los Reyes and Antonio de Villalobos
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939N-TH4S?mode=g&i=186&wc=3P9N-…

This marriage record provides further proof as it states, 19 April 1670 Nochistlan, Antonio de Alcaraz married Melchora de los Reyes hija natural of Juan Rodriguez de Caravajal.

So at this point we know that Juan Rodriguez de Caravajal had two children with an indian woman, Ana Maria, and has a sister, Melchora de los Reyes (m. Luis Delgadillo)

Juan Rodriguez de Caravajal's marriage record
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939N-TH8Y?mode=g&i=217&wc=3P9N-…

13 June 1674, Nochistlan: Juan de Caravajal, single, h.l. Rodrigo de Caravajal and Melchora de los Reyes marries Ana Maria, widow of Juan Bartholome. Juan Rodriguez de Caravajal gets married for the first time after his natural daughter! Typically this would throw some red flags but his death record sheds some light on the situation.

So now we know Juan Rodriguez de Carabajal's parents are Rodrigo and Melchora, which at least one of them must be Melchora de los Reyes (m. Luis Delgadillo) parents for Juan and Melchora to be siblings.

Juan Rodriguez de Caravajal's death record
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939N-TT5T?mode=g&i=38&wc=3P9K-T…

16 June 1674, Nochistlan: Juan de Caravajal, age more than 70 years, married to Anna Maria, indian. He has two hijo's naturales (3rd to last line).

So Juan dies 3 days after getting married. The two hijo naturales are Gaspar (m. Geronima Munoz) and Melchora (m. Antonio de Villalobos Alcaraz) who we know to be their mother Anna Maria. As Holcombe said "Juan married to ease his conscience"

So there you have it. The proof that the parents of Melchora de los Reyes (m. Luis Delgadillo) are most likely Rodrigo de Caravajal and Melchora de los Reyes. Additional proof can be seen based on the use of the name "Melchora de los Reyes" throughout Luis and Melchora's descendants. Luis and Melchora also had a daughter, Maria (who married Diego Moscoso y Sandoval) who used the surname Rodriguez for two of her children's baptisms.

Hola Miembros , I was cruising through Baptismal Records in Jalostotitlan - 1698-1701 ,1701-1707,1694-1702 Image # 225 . States Gertrudis Escoto y Tovar baptized 13 of 1698 in San Juan de Los lagos -Morisca . Gertrudis was the daughter of Diego Escoto y Tovar and Juana Alvarez de Ulloa y Mendoza . Parents of Diego Escoto y Tovar were Antonio Escoto y Tovar and Ines Ortiz de Rodas. I have no info for Juana Alvarez de Ulloa y Mendoza. My point being Gertrudis was classified as a morisca , I was trying to figure out was this an error or what family line does her African lineage come from ?

Thank you fo time

Not long ago I was working on finding the parents of Maria de Arizmendi (wife of Juan del Muro (I)). Thanks to “Katy’s Guadalajara Dispensa Index,” an Ordones for Aparicio del Muro in 1731 solves this, but presents new questions.

But first some family tree information:

Aparicio del Muro is the son of Juan del Muro (II) and Antonia de Avila. Antonia de Avila is the daughter of Maria de Chirriaga, but not by her husband Pedro del Muro (II), but by another man as clarified in her 1693 marriage dispensa Found here:

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-6PGH?mode=g&i=225&wc=3J4Q-…

Juan del Muro (II) is the son of Juan del Muro (I) and Maria de Arizmendi. Juan del Muro (I) is also a brother to Pedro del Muro (II) (husband of Maria de Chirriaga).

In the Ordones 1730-1741, on image 404, right page, continued on image 405. Starting here:

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-DN1J-M?mode=g&i=403&wc=3JW…

(Note: The whole document starts from image 258 to 265, then continues from 398 to 412)

The third testigo, Lorenzo Lopez Pichardo, names the maternal grandparents of the “presenta” (Juan del Muro (II)) as Juan de Arizmendi and Maria de la Candelaria Rios (these are the parents of Maria de Arizmendi). He continues by saying that the paternal grandparents of the “presenta” (Juan del Muro (II)) are unknown to him (though I know from my own research that they are Pedro del Muro (I) and Maria de Salas). Instead of paternal grandparents, the said Lorenzo Lopez Pichardo, names Pedro de Salas and his wife Juana de Bonilla, but I do not understand what the document is saying about them.

Can anyone help decipher this part?

A little more information on this couple can be seen in the wiki tree found here:

http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/De_Salas-13

Unfortunately, it does not show any connection to the del Muros.

Who are Pedro de Salas and Juana de Bonilla to Juan del Muro (II)? …His paternal great-grandparents? (if Pedro de Salas is Maria de Salas’ father)...His paternal great uncle? (If Pedro de Salas is Maria de Salas’ brother) … or His adoptive grandparents?

I have been trying my best to help someone trace their ancestral lines in mexico further. Their grandpa's dad side of the family came from jocotepec. as you can see i've been having some difficulty regarding that since many of their ancestors didn't have a consistent last name until the mid/late 1800's.

But i know that two of her ancestors lucas martin and lucia dolores had children in the 1770's and 1780's mainly, but there's one kid born in 1768 which i'm not sure if the child is theirs or belonging to a couple with similar names.
https://familysearch.org/search/record/results?count=20&query=%2Bfather…

the 1768 record in that link above lists a kid for a martin angel and juana lucia. are these people. i also found a marriage record with the names martin angel and juana lucia. but here's the kicker, her ancestors lucas martin and lucia dolores had a son named rafael angel, which is why i'm considering the possibility of martin angel and lucas martin of being the same person, and perhaps juana lucia and lucia dolores being the same person as well.
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-VVSX-2T?mode=g&i=199&wc=3J…

is there any way i could determine if the marriage record in the link right above, indeed are that said person's ancestors?

Hola, soy Ely Márquez, empecé hace 3 años buscando conocer a la familia, pero no he sido constante hasta hoy, y lo poco que he encontrado es que al igual que varios de ustedes (por lo que he leído), del lado paterno, vengo de los Márquez de los Olivos de San Juan de los Lagos, por parte materna, no he encontrado mucho, sé que mi bisabuela (Gutiérrez) nació en Michoacán, y se estableció en Amatitán donde conoció a mi bisabuelo (Ortíz) de ahí ya no sé más.
Me da mucho gusto estar en "Nuestros Ranchos" porque por lo poco que he visto, aquí se aprende mucho, aún no le sé a la página pero estoy tratando.
Gracias por aceptarme.

Hello Group,
This entry doesn't follow the usual formula I've read in baptismal entries, so I need your kind assistance in interpreting.

Silverio Reynoso y Renteria, Antonio Justo Reynoso y Renteria and Alejandro Mariano Reynoso y Renteria were all known to be the children of Ana Maria Gonsales de Rubalcaba y Ximenes, but it was unknown who her husband was, only that he was a Reynoso y Renteria. A 1847 marriage dispensation tree of Francisco Lopez and Modesta de (H)Aro, listed the Reynoso and Carrillo family as common ancestors (distantly related) of the bride/groom. The Reynoso tree listed Christoval as the head of this tree and sons Silverio and Alejandro shown. This family also used both the Renteria and Reynoso surname at times; and sometimes signed documents as Reynoso y Renteria. These families were from both Moyahua and Juchipila parish areas.
Link:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18423-31291-93?cc=1874591

It appears this Christoval Reynoso y Renteria is linked back as a son of Diego Reynoso y Renteria by the following tree, as this is the only Christoval Reynoso found and
mentioned in Juchipila and Moyahua record in the circa 1720 time-frame.

This has been a very solid brick wall for us for nearly four years now. The furthest we can go using baptismal records is 1646 and have no idea where to search from here.

Blas PIMIENTA was married to Lucia GOMEZ Maeda. They had son Joseph Pimienta in May 1646, in Cocula, Jalisco, Mexico. He was baptised 30 May 1646 in Cocula, Jalisco, Mexico. Daughter Josepha Pimienta was was born 1653, was christened Mar 20, 1653 in Cocula, Jalisco, Mexico.

Joseph PIMIENTA was born May 1646 in Cocula, Jalisco, Mexico, was christened May 30, 1646 in Cocula, Jalisco, Mexico. He married Isabel de MEDINA Apr 15, 1671 in Cocula, Jalisco, Mexico, daughter of Franco. Baez de MEDINA and Beatris MENDES. She was born 1651, was christened Jun 19, 1651 in Cocula, Jalisco, Mexico.

Outside of being mentioned in Joseph and Josepha's baptism records there is no information on Blas that we've been able to find. It's possible the Pimientas married in a different state but nothing has come up in searches.

I need some help in figuring out the bride's mother's name on the marriage certificate for Agustin Ursua and Bernardina Gutierres at https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-G5BH-B?mode=g&i=359&wc=3J6…
It's the second one on the right page. I can read hija legitima de Juan Guerrero ia difunto, but I cannot figure out the mother's name. I think the apellido may be Chabes. Can anyone help?

Juan del Muro and his wife Maria de Arizmendi were married in Aguascalientes 8 January 1668. Many descendants of this couple spread throughout Aguascalientes, Jalisco, and Zacatecas. Maria de Arizmendi’s parents are not named in her marriage record and only a Lorenzo de Arizmendi is mentioned as a testigo for the marriage of her daughter Maria del Muro to Pedro Rincon de Ortega 1 May 1697 in Aguascalientes. As many of the early families of Aguascalientes also had relations in San Luis Potosi, I am guessing that she may descend from the large complicated Arizmendi Gogorron family of San Luis Potosi. However, as of yet I have not seen a Maria or Lorenzo de Arizmendi appear among them.

Does anyone know more about the Maria de Arizmendi and Lorenzo de Arizmendi of Aguascalientes?... Do they appear as padrinos or testigos in other researchers’ files out there?

There is a marriage at https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-F79B-5S?mode=g&i=215&wc=3J… (bottom right).

Dear Primos:

You will find in the April issue of Somos Primos eleven articles with DNA information. I think you will conclude that those of us in the Americas with Spanish heritage, connect with every racial and cultural group in the world. Wonderful to observe that many Latinos have being moved, inspired, and directed to search out family roots. We now have physical proof through DNA of those some time surprising global connections, however, evidence that we all . . . . really are connected.

Once we are convinced of our brotherhood, the next step is forgiveness of historic injustices, and then work together to solve current problems, instead of "cursing the past".

An example of a historic event whose purpose is increased understanding:
April 16, 1803, the Battle of the Bay of San Diego in California.

In 1803 California was under the governance of Spain. Spanish soldiers were stationed at Fort Guijarros on Coronado North Island. Spain was attempting to keep foreign ships sailing in the Pacific Ocean, from landing on the California coast.

The Anniversary of the Battle of San Diego Bay, remembers a historic event in which an English-speaking crew was attempting to engage in smuggling. History is clarified, the Spanish presence acknowledged, and historic adversaries joined together to present the past in unity.
Collaboration between the U.S. Navy and Spanish representatives from the Casa de Espana is mounting the 213th event. [Included under California in the issue.]

I am convinced that as more of the general public becomes aware of the early Spanish presence in the building of the United States, more unity will result.

God bless America, Mimi

Hace poco mas de un año que inicie la investigacion de quienes fueron mis antepasados. Mi busqueda se ha concentrado en las siguientes lineas: Garcia, Castillo, Rabago y ultimamente Gutierrez, hasta llegar al "misterioso" Pedro Gutierrez de Hermosillo, hijo natural de Juan Gonzalez de Hermosillo de quien poco se sabe.

Me siento muy complacido de poder formar parte de este grupo del que, aun sin ser miembro, tanto he aprendido y descubierto. Deseo continuar aprendiendo y descubriendo con la finalidad de poder llegar a hacer algun aporte de interes para alguien mas.

Hello everyone. My name is Jaime Barba. I live in California but my entire family is from Tepatitlan, Jalisco and its surrounding areas. My family and I travel frequently to the area to visit family and friends and am planning on traveling to Tepa next month for the fiestas.

I have been doing intense research on my family for the last two months and am happy to have found you guys.

My last names, and the ones I am working on the most, are Barba, Alcala, and Casillas. I look forward to helping anywhere I can and receiving help from everyone. I am waiting for my DNA results and will share more info once I receive them.

Thank you again and hello everyone

Hello,

My name is Jose Reynoso, born in La Boquilla, Moyahua, Zacatecas.  I'm new to the group and just started researching my family's genealogy.  I've been reading some of the posts, I'm very excited to join such a great group of people.

>From the Reynoso side, I've traced my grandfather, Melecio, Reynoso, b. 8 Dec 1893 in Guadalajarita, Zacatecas.  Melecio's father, Juan Reynoso, b. 30 Mar 1857 in Guadalajarita, Zacatecas.  Juan's father, Nasario Reynoso, b. 1830 around Moyahua, Zacatecas.  Nasario's father, Teodosio Reynoso b. about 1800 around Moyahua, Zacatecas.  And finally Teodosio's father, Miguel Reynoso b. abt 1780 around Moyahua, Zacatecas.

For the Reynoso line, see: http://www.nuestrosranchos.org/node/18347

>From the Mejia side, I've traced my grandfather, Jose Mejia, b. abt 1898 in Nochistlan, Zacatecas.  Jose's father, Maximiano Mejia, b. abt 1860 around Nochistlan, Zacatecas.
So far, I have not found anything else for Maximiano, other than marrying Zenona Melendres on January 27, 1878 in Nochistlan, Zacatecas.  Zenona Melendres, b. 23 Jun 1863, in Nochistlan, Zacatecas, is the daughter of Jose Melendres and Clara Reinoso.

>From the Sandoval side, I've traced my grandmother, Luciana Sandoval, b. 2 Jul 1902 in Guadalajarita, Zacatecas.  Luciana's father, Julio Sandoval, b. 1876 in El Remolino, Zacatecas.  Julio's father, Rodrigo Sandoval, b. 1850 in Moyahua, Zacatecas.  Rodrigo's father, Barbaro Sandoval, b. abt 1830 around Moyahua, Zacatecas.

>From the Iniguez side, I've traced my grandmother, Maria Iniguez, b. 1898 in San Jose de La Boquilla, Moyahua, Zacatecas.  Maria's father, Ignacio de Jesus Iniguez, b. 31 Jul 1867 in San Jose de La Boquilla, Moyahua, Zacatecas.  Ignacio's father, Inez Iniguez, b. abt 1836 around Moyahua, Zacatecas.  Inez's father, Antonio Iniguez, b. 1797 in Yahualica, Jalisco.  Antonio's father, Juan Jose Iniguez, b. 8 Jun 1782 in San Miguel, Yahualica, Jalisco.

Antonio Iniguez married Josefa Sandoval on July 11, 1822 in Moyahua, Zacatecas.

Other names on my tree are: Flores, Ballesteros, Renteria, Rodrigues, Alvarado, Martinez, Arellano, Gutierrez, Bocanegra, Cisneros, Lopes, Medrano, Gonzales, Pulido, Rios or Diaz, Campos, Carrillo, Haro, de Aro, de Luna, Vidaurri, and Benavides.

If anyone have any information, please let me know.  Thank you very much!

Dispensa in question:

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-DV4W-6?i=497&wc=3JWL-K68%3…

The dispensa includes the following information:

Manuel Gonzalez de Hermosillo, widower of Anna Maria Flores de la Torre, to marry Margarita Sanchez de Porras, daughter of Alejandro Sanchez de Porras and Maria Reynoso.

The relationships between the petitioners are:

1st:
Juan Gonz. de Hermosillo (m Leonor Caravajal) - sibling - Leonor Hermosillo (m Geronimo Schz. de Porras)
Sebastian Gonzalez de Hermosillo - cousin - Alejandro Sanchez de Porras
Manuel Gonzalez de Hermosillo - 2 cousin - Margarita Sanchez de Porras

2nd:
Francisco Gonzalez de Hermosillo - sibling - Juan Gonzalez de Hermosillo (m Ana Gonz. Florida)
Leonor de Hermosillo - cousin - Leonor Gonzalez de Hermosillo (m Geronimo Sanchez de Porras)
Josepha Franco - 2 cousin - Alejandro Sanchez de Porras
Anna Maria Flores de la Torre - 3 cousin - Margarita Sanchez de Porras

Items in parenthesis added by me.

Does the direct line with Francisco Gonzalez de Hermosillo at the top agree with your research?

In my tree I have Francisco Munoz de Hermosillo who is the brother of Juan Gonz. de Hermosillo (m Ana Gonz. Florida) but I do not have a daughter named Leonor.

I also have another brother of said Francisco and Juan, named Cristobal. Cristobal had a daughter Leonor de Hermosillo who married Pedro Franco de Paredes. Leonor and Pedro has a daughter, Ana Franco, who married Joseph de la Torre.

So my questions are, should Francisco from the dispensa actually read Cristobal? An if so, are Ana Franco and Josepha Franco the same person or sisters?

Thank you
Alex Mercado

The lines that I am currently working on have Leonor Vásques de Retamosa in several different places. I have just finished reading all the information that I can find about her both in Nuestros Ranchos forums and also in FamilySearch and Ancestry.com. I am thoroughly confused.

In the lines I have, she first shows up as the mother of Pedro Pablo Macias Valades who would have been born in about 1588 in Lagos. Her husband there was Nicolas Macias Valades. In another line, she is the mother of Juana Bautista de Alba who would have been born right around 1600 in Lagos, based on when she started having children (1616). Her husband this time is José Alonso de Alba.

Some sources seem to think that there were 2 different Leonors - one born around 1561 and the other around 1583. The first was married to Nicolas and the second to Alonso. I am not so sure about this. I tend to think that there is only 1 Leonor. It is certainly conceivable that the Leonor born in 1561 could still have a daughter around 1600.

The issue of whether Nicolas is the same person as Alonso is more confusing. General consensus seems to be that Nicolas was born in Spain around 1527. This would make him pretty old to be having children in 1600, although not impossibly. The bigger issue for me is that all the documents that I can find give Juana Bautista's name as Alba. She also seems to have had a sister Maria de Alba who married in 1614. Where did Alba come from? It is certainly not unheard of for a person's name to change in these records, but from Nicolas Macias Valades to Alonso de Alba seems like a bit of a stretch. Not impossible, just a stretch.

So, anyway, it seems to me that there are a couple of possibilities:
1) there really were 2 Leonors - it may even be possible that the 1 born around 1583 was the daughter of the first one
2) the Leonor who was born around 1561 was married twice - first to Nicolas and second to Alonso
3) there was only one Leonor and only one husband, whose name changed as time went on from Nicolas Macias Valades to Alonso de Alba.

I know this has been discussed before, but I would really like to hear what everyone else thinks about this issue.

Hello everyone. I'm so beyond happy to have been pointed in your direction!

My name is Stephanie and along with my mother (okay, yes, she does most of the hard work) have been working on our family tree for just under ten years. There's so much to uncover and it feels as though there's just not not enough time. Now that my mother is nice and retired, she's been busy reorganizing and double checking our tree.

My paternal great-grandfather migrated from Tecolotlán all the way up to Bakersfield, California, working on the Southern Pacific Railroad. He (Atanasio Pimienta) was born in 1904, Tecolotlán, Jalisco, Mexico.

We hit the proverbial brick wall and after four years we were led to this amazing site; I'll be posting my questions in the research forum. I'm truly excited to have been accepted into the group.

Much Thanks,
Stephanie
