his parents are Simon Magallanes and Guadalupe Herrera...
This could be my Jose De Los Santos... but I do not want to assume it is until i am completely sure..
I would Really Appreciate the help...
thank you

Hello,

I'm researching my family tree in Leon, Guanajuato. I'm trying to find the name of the town that my ancestor, Jose Epifanio Monjaras, was born in. In the attached Baptism record, the town looks like it says Caraeol, but I'm not having any luck finding that town or anything similar. The Baptism was in Leon, so the town must be near. Parents names are Juan Monjaras and Andrea Ramires. See attached image.

Appreciate any help!

Thank you,

Stephanie

Hola prim@s,

These are the indexes of the early baptism books of the San Matias parish in Sierra de Pinos. They were extracted from photocopies that Mary Lou Montagna had done during her visits to Pinos in the 1990’s. Sarod77 was kind enough to assist with this transcription, and I can’t thank her enough. I am compiling all of these books - the baptisms, confirmations & marriages - into one PDF, which I will make available for download.

Condition of documents

The condition of the pages vary: most pages are clear and legible, while some are torn, with portions missing, others are blotched or faded. In some cases, we were able to deduce who an individual was from the name of their spouse, and their names will be included in brackets [...]. We were also able to deduce dates from previous and following entries.

From Image 45/82 through 64/82 (roughly, from Jan 1627 to Jan 1632), some of the pages appear to be out of order, and one is even duplicated (images 46 and 52 are identical). There are likely some pages missing. Unfortunately, in this section of the book, the top portions of several pages - where the page numbers are written - are torn away. On top of that, the year number is usually given only at the beginning of each calendar year, and on the first entry: on all other entries, it says “de dicho año.” So, though individual months are visible, it can be several pages before a year number is seen. In addition, there are entries that were added at a later date, so they’re “not where they’re supposed to be.” For these reasons, it’s difficult to know whether the images are in order.

That said, rather than to trying to determine the correct order of these pages, I’ve decided to publish “as is,” and let the researcher interpret it. Otherwise, the rest of the images, Pinos 1/82 to 44/82, and Pinos 65/82 to 80/82, appear to be in the correct sequence.

Spelling & Abbreviations

I try to use the given spelling and abbreviations of names, surnames and place names. I also try to include other details that may be of interest, such as relationships, locations and ownership of haciendas. In the original books, the use of capitals and lower-case letters are all over the map, so capitals and punctuation in these transcriptions are mine.

Abbreviations used:

“comᵉ” = comadre (godmother)
“compᵉ” = compadre (godfather)
“dha/dho” = dicha/dicho (aforementioned)
“pp” = padrino/s, madrina/s (godparent/s)
“tt” = testigo/s (witness/s)

Does anyone have any information on the Aguayo's of Nochistlan. In particular Jose Maria Aguayo born abt. 1815 - deceased abt 1838. I'm trying to find his parents. I have been searching for months and have hit a solid brick wall.

Jose Maria Aguayo (b. abt 1815) and Tereza Gomez (b. abt 1817) had a daughter Feliciana Aguayo (b. 1837). I was able to find, with a little more detective work) That Tereza Gomez remarried. She married Margarito Gomez as Tereza de Aguayo "vuida" in 1839. I assume Jose Maria Aguayo then died abt. 1838.

There are "testigos" in Feliciana Aguayo and Longino Gomez marriage certificate (5/12/1859) with the names Pedro Aguayo and Sebastiana Tolentino but I have hit a brick wall on those name too.

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939J-64SB-TD?mode=g&i=214&wc=3P…
(Lower right side of page)

I did find several Jose Maria Aguayo's born around that time in Nochistlan but without any connection it's hard for me to add to my ancestry line. Any help would be appreciated.

Gracias Primos

My grandfather was Jose' Socorro Luevano de Marinez. He was given as an award of the church which I believe was Hacienda de Cieneguilla, in Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes, Mexico at a young age for priesthood training. I am trying to confirm that this was actually a church that trained young people for entry into the priesthood. I actually found the remains of the church/seminary in a Google search. My grandfather was born in Paso de Sotos, Jalisco, Mexico on 12 May 1892 which was recorded in the church, Teocaltiche, Jalisco, Mexico, registry on 17 May 1892. His parents were Tiburcio Luevano and Manuela Martinez. He was then baptized on 18 May 1892 in the church, La Santisima Trinidad, in Villa Hidalgo, Jalisco, Mexico, where his name was recorded as Jose del Socorro Luebano. He then left the church in about 1914, entering the United States, and was married to Cecilia Montoya on 13 November 1915, in Harris County, Texas, United States. This information was validated by his children and documented in the sources in FamilySearch. He told his children of his place of birth and that he was awarded to the church at a young age for priesthood training. He often referred to Hacienda de Cieneguilla and Aguiascalientes, Aguasclientes, Mexico as boyhood places of his young childhood.

My basic question is (Is Hacienda de Cieneguilla a church or seminary in Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes, Mexico, a reasonable place where Jose' could have attended priesthood training?)

I am looking for information regarding the Marquez families in Teocaltiche, more specifically from Atepoca.  I was told that my great grandmother, Francisca Marquez lived in a Hacienda, but I can not find that information anywhere.  Does anybody know how I can go about finding out that information?

I have begun to systematically go through film 0443967 (Tlaltenango Matrimonios 1626-1723) since the film is not indexed. I am up to about 1642 now and about 80-90% of the marriages are for Indios with no surnames. However, there are a few indios with surnames and a few Spanish marriages interspersed there and I imagine that will increase as I go further in time on the film.

If anybody has any families/lineages that they want me to keep an eye open for while I do this, please let me know.

I have run across the following thus far. If you would like further details on any of these marriages let me know.

1629 Juan Garcia de Miramontes con Ana de Lopez
1629 Pablo de Ortiz con Ynez de Saucedo
1630 Juan de Frias Vandal con Alfonsina de la Paz
1630 Manuel Diaz con Maria Ruiz
1632 Jacintro de Lamas con Mariana Rodriguez
1632 Juan de Isabel Pinedo con Juana de Castro
1632 Antonio de Ribera con Maria de Solis
1633 Gerardo Cardosso con Catalina de Haro
1633 Pablo Flores de la Torre con Clara de Miramontes
1634 Juan de Vera con Maria de Miramontes
1634 Juan Sanchez con Tomasina Saucedo
1634 Juan Gallardo con Maria Delgado
1636 Rodrigo de Castro con Francisca de Rodas
1637 Pedro de Chabes Banuelos con Catalina de Haro
1638 Benito Gonzalez con Mariana Lopez
1638 Juan Ruiz con Marta de Bobadilla
1638 Francisco de Guzman con Catalina Gonzalez
1639 Gerardo de Lamas con Leonor Ortiz
1642 Antonio Lopez de la O con Maria Perez
1644 Joseph Munoz con Maria Cid
1644 Nicolas Perez con Gertrudis de Haro

Just wondering if anyone has seen something like this. For the marriage of Diego Ximenez and Apolonia Diaz de Leon (Ruis de Esparza), there is a marriage recorded in Asientos (Nuestra Señora de Belen) on 23 enero 1710 (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-67YS-D95?i=23&wc=M6QX-…). The entry starts at the end of page 23 and continues on page 24. But there is an entry in Informacion Matrimonial in the city of Aguascalientes dated 8 febrero 1710 (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-DCF9-WL6?i=226&wc=M6QX…) for the same couple. I cannot find a marriage record in February or March in El Sagrario records. A curiosity.

I have discovered that I am a descendant of Lorenzo de Luevana (died abt. 28 Jul 1741 in Aguascalientes) and his wife, Catharina Marin de Tiscareño (died about 25 Jul 1737). I have Lorenzo's parents' names from his burial record, but the parents of Catharina were not mentioned in hers. I looked at some trees at Family Search and Ancestry to try and get a sense of additional ancestors for this couple, and while some names are mentioned, I don't see any specific proof to add connections. For example,  the marriage record for Lorenzo's parents, Andres de Luevana and Cristina de Salazar, does not include parents, but people have identified some; however, there is no noted record to confirm the connection. 

Does anyone have any more on Lorenzo and Catharina (I'd like an identification and proof of her parents) or on Lorenzo's ancestry? 

Thank you!

If you want to learn more about genealogy in general, the RootsTech conferences can be helpful. The good thing is that these conferences can be "In Person" (costs involved), or "Virtual" (free). This conference runs from March 2nd through March 4th, starting at 8am (Mountain Time) each day.

Dear Members,

Recently I have been revisiting some lines that I had worked on a few years ago, trying to tie down some loose ends.

Two loose ends I wanted to put forward regarding Cristóbal Martínez Lozano (el Viejo) are the following:

1) In "Retoños de España" it is stated that Cristobal obtained genealogical information from the city of Leon. My two questions are a)which León, Castilla or Guanajuato?
b)Has someone found this information such that you could share the images or the transcription? Below is the quote from Retoños
"Este caballero promovió la información genealógica a que con anterioridad se hace referencia y que se levantó en la Villa de León -cosa hasta cierto punto extraña porque en ella no tuvo intereses patrimoniales ni familiares- el 28 de febrero de 1628," Vol. 1, Volume 5, Part 2. I do not have an exact page number because the online source that is quoting this did not provide one.

2) Has someone found Cristobal's will? That would probably say whose daughter María de Isla was and whether she was indeed the illegitimate daughter or Benito de Isla, and who the mother was. I know some of the Aguascalientes wills are available online, but his is not listed. I am wondering if it would be in Guadalajara?

As it is well known, I have again included his death record on 13 May 1646, because it says before whom he made the will:

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-266-11773-145304-59?cc=1410092…

I also have transcribed it, having corrected another transcription I found online and filled in some blanks:
"En la villa de Aguascalientes en trece días del mes de mayo de mil seiscientos cuarenta y seis falleció Christoval Losano, español y vecino de esta jurisdicción. Recibió todos los santos sacramentos. Hizo testamento que paso ante don Joseph de Altamirano de Castilla alcalde mayor de esta jurisdicción y ante Antonio de Vargas escribano nombrado. Deja por sus albaceas a Xptoval y Jacinto Losano sus hijos. Diosele sepultura al pie de la peña del altar de la Ascensión que es su capilla y entierro ordeno se le diga misa cantada de cuerpo presente como es costumbre, ordena y se le diga un novenario de misas rezadas, cien misas por su alma y la de su mujer y cincuenta misas por sus naturales sirvientes, que se le vieren muerto sin aguitar cuentas que le debía, deja quince ducados a la cofradía del santísimo sacramento de esta villa para ganar la indulgencia y que se vuelva a hasentar y en la dicha cofradía sin embargo de que es cofrade. Iten, manda de limosna al convento de San Francisco de la ciudad de Zacatecas veinticinco pesos, a las mandas forzosas a dos reales a cada una todo lo cual mando se paga de sus bienes y que se tomen diez bulas de composición y para que conste lo asente ut supra. Y se entregó el testamento original por mandado de señor licenciado Diego de Torres y Ribera cura beneficiado, juez eclesiástico de esta jurisdicción por su majestad a Jacinto Loçano albacea

Hernando Calderon "

Many thanks!

The Tech-Group has finished performing preliminary testing with the new Nuestros Ranchos website.

The new site is located at:
nuestrosranchos.org

Our group has attempted to keep the format similar to that of our existing site, to the extent possible with the new software.

Please take a look when you get the chance.

You are welcome to post messages, attach/download files, poke around, and otherwise test this site!

The new web site is also supposed to be mobile device friendly, for those that may access the site via mobile devices.

Whether you access this site via mobile device or computer, the feedback you have is important to our tech-group, and we will work to resolve any issue(s) that you may encounter.

Please report any issues or comments that you may have for this site via email to admin@nuestrosranchos.org or moderator@nuestrosranchos.org

These email addresses are also found in the contacts tab menu of the new site.

Be advised, although the site is fully functional, no data created on this web site will be saved until the site is considered the actual defacto Nuestros Ranchos website. So do not expect any data you create now to remain at this time.

Note: The only menu selection that is not yet ready is the "New Albums" tab. This menu will not be ready until we are permanently moved over to this new system, due to technical incompatibilites with the data structure between the two web systems. Until this time, the "Old Albums" tab will remain fully functional.

Our Tech-Group will post some of the differences between the new and old system on the test site over the next few days.

Thanks,

Tech-Group

For those of you researching Teocaltiche, Jalisco, the attached files will be of interest. These are two sets of extractions of very early death records which I believe have never been microfilmed. The first set (1641-1733) was generously provided to me by the late Dr. J. Leon Helguera, who had received them from another researcher. The second set (1696-1819) was done by me. Note that some of the data overlap and, in a few cases, entries are interpreted differently.

Until I can figure out how to reduce the files so I can upload them to Nuestros Ranchos, here's a link to my Dropbox account.

I have seen someone from Mezquitic, Jalisco, Mexico with the surname "Rangel."

Does that go far back to the colonial days of Mezquitic and is that spanish?

Estimados compañeros:

En una documento de aspirantes a órdenes del Br. Joseph Miguel Flores de la Torre. Fechado 9 de febrero de 1758 en Xalostitlán, con 21 foxas se encuentra información adicional muy valiosa de la familia Flores de la Torre en la Nueva Galicia. Este documento establece aun más los vínculos que se encuentra en esa familia. Menciona algunos miembros de esta casa que ni tenía en mis archivos.

En el documento menciona que el Br. Joseph Miguel Flores de la Torre era bautizado en la parroquia de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción de Xalostitlán el 5 de octubre de 1735 con el nombre Joseph Miguel María Flores de la Torre y Vallarta. Su padrino de bautizo era el Lic. D. Joseph de Feijóo Centellas, Cura de Guadalajara, hermano del Lic. Sebastián de Feijóo Centellas, Chantre de la Iglesia de Guadalajara y Micaela de Feijóo Centellas, mujer de Manuel Francisco Xavier Rincón Gallardo, IV Mayorazgo de Ciénega del Rincón, ambos hijos del muy afamado Lic. Francisco de Feijóo Centellas, Oídor de la Real Audencia de Guadalajara y su mujer Micaela de Moya y Palacios ambos originarios de los Reinos de Castilla en Málaga, Andalucía.

El Br. Joseph Miguel Flores de la Torre y Vallarta era hijo legítimo de D. Joseph Tomás Flores de la Torre y Franco de Paredes, originario de la parroquia de Xalpa, jurisdición de Aguascalientes y su mujer Da. Ángela Manuela de Vallarta y Lomelín y Mendoza. Éstos casaron en Xalostitlán el 26 de novienmre de 1726. Sólo he encontrado otro hijo que bautizaron, Ignacio Francisco Xavier Flores de la Torre y Vallarta, el 27 de diciembre de 1737 en Xalostitlán.

D. Joseph Tomás Flores de la Torre y Franco de Paredes era hijo legítimo del capitán Joseph Flores de la Torre y Ana Franco de Paredes, antiguos vecinos de Jalpa. Por el otro lado Ángela Manuela de Vallarta era hija del nobílisimo penínsular y patriarca de la familia en Los Altos de Jalisco, Carlos Francisco de Vallarta, Teniente de la Real Justicia de Xalostitlán y Juana de Lomelín y Mendoza. Además, menciona que el Br. Joseph Miguel Flores de la Torre, tenía tres tíos maternos que también entraron en la Iglesia, 1) Br. Carlos Vicente de Vallarta, 2) Br. Antonio de Vallarta y 3) el Br. Joaquín de Vallarta.

Da. Juana de Lomelín y Mendoza era hija de D. Manuel de Lomelín y Mendoza y Da. Josefa Pérez Maldonado, de acuerdo con que establece en su limpieza de sangre. Menciona que un primo (creo debe ser primo segundo, no menciona la relación) del Br. Joseph Miguel Flores de la Torre era el Lic. Diego Pérez Maldonado, Cura Interino de Nochistlán en esos años.

Por el lado paterno, menciona que el Br. Joseph Miguel Flores de la Torre tenía tíos paternos y primos hermanos que también entraron en la Iglesia. Un tío del Br. Joseph Miguel Flores de la Torre era el Br. Cayetano Flores de la Torre, hermano de su padre D. Joseph Tomás Flores de la Torre. Además, tuvo quatro sobrinos éste Joseph Tomás, quatro hijos clerigos, ambos hijos del capitán D. Nicolás Flores de la Torre y Bárabara Isabel González de Hermosillo. Estos debieron ser el Br. Juan Xavier Flores Alatorre, Alumno del Colegio de San Felipe de Neri de Guadalajara, el Dr. Vicente Antonio Flores Alatorre, Cura Vicario de Aguascalientes, el Reverando Juan Manuel Flores Alatorre, Caballero de la Orden de Carlos III y miembro de los Masones y el Padre Manuel Antonio Flores Alatorre que murió en el Vaticano el 28 de enero de 1797. Esta familia funcionaba como el Curato de Aguascalientes por unos cinquenta años en Aguascalientes.

Menciona en las últimas páginas como testigos el Lic. D. Joseph de Feijóo Centellas que le conoce y es su padrino. Su abuelo materno, D. Carlos Francisco de Vallarta originario de los Reinos de Castilla y Teniente de la Real Justicia de Xalostitlán. Menciona, su tío abuelo el Cor. Juan de San Pedro Flores de la Torre, conquistador del Nayarit y Gobernador del Nuevo Reino de Toledo (Colima) y ostentaron otros oficios a que solo se dan a las personas bien nascidos, tenidas y conocidas. Menciona que el Br. Joseph Miguel Flores de la Torre y Vallarta es de calidad español y muy conocido de padres nobles y de linaje bueno y su limpieza de sangre.

Como ven este documento menciona muchísima información genealógica, espero que les gustaron.

Saludos y un año nuevo, lleno de prosperidad

Daniel Méndez-Camino

Hola. ¿Saben de la existencia de algún documento que compruebe que Juana era hija de Petronila? Hasta la fecha no he encontrado documentos concluyentes. Tampoco nada claro sobre Petronila, fuera del rumor que existe sobre una dispensa solicitada por sus descendientes para un matrimonio. Dispensa que se dice está en el archivo de Guillermo Tovar y de Teresa. Agradeceré cualquier informe al respecto. Saludos https://www.nuestrosranchos.org/Amelie

Guillermo Padilla Origel's book, Extractos de Informes Matrimoniales en el Obispado de Michoacán durante el Siglo XVII (1630-1685), is referenced a couple of times on NR and Somos Primos. Does anyone know if there is much overlap between what is available on Valladolid Dispensas and the extracts contained in the book? It does not appear to be available for purchase any longer.

Hello,

I'm looking for any informacion about 2 couples that I found in a Land Record in Tlaltenango. Both couples are mentioned in the history of the same property

1. Sebastian de Mercado married to Ana de Santillan. Date on the title 2 junio 1644. Title for Ana de Santillan now a widow of Sebastian de Mercado

2. Francisco de Acuna married to Beatriz Mercado. Granddaughter of Ana de Santillan (that is mentioned in the title) Date of the title: 26 mar 1648. Very possible "adjudicacion de tierra" to her granddaughter

NOTE: I'm hoping that these two couples are going to give me any clues on the parents of Juana Mercado (wife of Bernardo Carrillo Davila), because after the property was owned by Beatriz de Mercado (and Francisco de Acuna) the land "goes" to Pedro de la torre Acosta married to Nicolasa Carrillo Davila Mercado daughter of Juana de Mercado.

Any info will be appreciated

Happy Holidays

Hello Everyone, My name is Rudy and I've been researching family history for around 10 years (it could be more, but I've lost track). I'm currently researching my family from La Barca, Jalisco and Ojo Calientes, Zacatecas. It's a bit of a challenge at the moment because of the missing records in Ojo Calientes so for now I'm focusing my search in La Barca. Names I'm interested: Ruiz, Avalos, Rincon, Castellanos and Cardenas. I'm currently reviewing: https://www.familysearch.org/records/images/image-details?imageGroupNum… A partial snapshot of my tree is here: https://www.nuestrosranchos.org/nickpending

Hello everyone, I am Ramón E Sánchez Vázquez del Mercado, I am 62 years old and for more than 10 years I have dedicated a lot of time to the genealogy referring to the surname Vázquez del Mercado, my starting point is the so-called "red book ".... an old book resulting from the transcription and compilation of previous books made by my great-grandfather "ALEJANDRO JOSE LADISLAO DE JESUS ​​VAZQUEZ DEL MERCADO MEJIA" (b1841, Sombrerete, Zacatecas, who was governor of AGUASCALIENTES state" in Porfiriato´s periods ) and which in turn has as its starting point his grandfather "NICOLAS JOSE VAZQUEZ DEL MERCADO" (b1720 Zacatecas, Mex.) married to Maria Ygnacia Espinoza de los Monteros, who have been essential for a better understanding of the growth of the family. 

Through these years I have tried to link the historical references of the ancestor "Gines Básquez de Mercado" with the current family.... I want to emphasize that I have found that the surname "Vázquez del Mecado" through several centuries has derived as "Vázquez del Mercado", "Mercado", and a large part of those who currently have only "Mercado" as their surname derive from the original surname "Basquez de Mercado". 

Currently my interest is to be able to discover the link between the "Básquez de Mercado" family from the time of the conquest with the family settled mainly in Jalisco, Zacatecas, Durango, Aguascalientes and CDMX between the period 1540 to 1700.... I am grateful to this site for the opportunity to advance the investigation of the family relationships mentioned and to be able to collaborate with members who share similar interests. 

I look forward to your comments and thank you for being able to share my research,
