muchisimas gracias José Román. Esa noche estuve muy cansado y ya me

I can see various alternatives to
leave you have your live in peace, without a lot of labor with us:
 
1) You can divide the work of moderator to
another moderators or "sub-moderators" in order to distribute that
work, "divide y vencerás", say a "dicho muy común". The others
moderators can have their assignations in relation to an specific
matter or geographical area that is of their interest. If a question is
included in the list and is in the responsibility of a "sub-moderator",
you could leave him answer that question.

This a great idea. Es idea muy bueno. si puedo hayar

Bautismos de Hijos Legitimos

You know that's right Elvira.  I talk to the Nordic people at my 
family history center and they cannot believe that there are even 
records for Mexico in the 1700s let alone records that list maternal 
and paternal names up to the grandparents... along with race/caste, 
etc.  As wrong as the motives may have been for maintaining all of 
this information... knowledge=control and the maintainance of 
information like this was obviously meant to categorize and keep 
people in their place.  Nevertheless this information gives us a 
beautiful window into the lives of our ancestors.

Emilie: Neither my father nor I have been able to locate my 
grandfather's birth certificate... either at the civil registry in 
the town where he was born nor in Gudadalajara.  I think there were a 
lot of records lost just before the revolution. The government in 
Mexico was very weak and then a lot of records were destroyed.  We 
are lucky we have been able to find his baptismal records.

Bautismos de Hijos Legitimos vs. Hijos Naturales de Jerez, Zac.

Hi Emilie:
 
Among the microfilms listed in the FHLC from Jerez, Zac. there are some entitled "bautismos de Hijos Naturales", but I don't saw any of the 1903 year. ¿Do you has had this microfilms? Another option is "Registro Civil" In these last records, there is 1903 year:
 
Nacimientos 1903-1904 FHL INTL Film
1081921
 
I think that is good idea see this microfilm, maybe, that records missing are that which repository was the parish, but for the information above, the records which repository is "Registro Civil" are not missing. The microfilm is found at "Ciudad García, Zac." as this is (Use for) Mexico, Zacatecas, Jerez de García Salinas
 
I hope this little contribution will be useful to you.
 
Success!

Bautismos de Hijos Legitimos

Angie,
 
Thanks for the info --  I guess I never found this before since the
title of the Civil Registrar of Jerez is under Ciudad Garcia, and not Jerez like
the registros parroquiales.  There is another series of Registro Civil for
Jerez de Garcia Salinas that start with film 2177857 that lists Nacimientos only
for 1871-1874, 1916, 1921-1927, then the rest is matrimonios and nacimientos and
defunciones starting in 1906 for Ermita de los Correa, Monte de los
Garcia, Palmas Altas, and Cienegillas de Fernandez. 
 
In both cases, the main author of each series of Civil Registrar films is
"Registro Civil".  I wonder why there are two series and why one is
titled Jerez de Garcia Salinas (the I had), and one is titled "Ciiudad
Garcia" (the one you found).  The series you found is so compete, but the
one I had is not.
 
I sure wish I could go down to the Zacatecas, the capital, and see
what they have, if they even let people look at what they have.

A tradition in Mexico is the writing of a CALAVERA for
friends,family, public personalities and politicians. Calaveras are
meant to be funny, they are not meant as eulogies, but are mild
teasing. There's usually some sort of rhyme, and they can be
several lines to several stanzas in length. They can also be poems
of sharp criticism especially towards Los Politicos or Governantes
from Mexico and U.S.


Here goes one for you Joseph, ojala y te guste.

Bautismos de Hijos Legitimos

Victor,
 
Yes, you got it right. The state has always made a
second copy of the records. The originals (when the book closes) get sent to the
state capital and the second copy is supposed to stay in the municipio it came
from.
 
The registro civil  in Zacatecas City should
have the copy of the tome in question (let's hope that it survived la Toma
de Zactecas).  I had this problem with records from Durango.  The
documents were found in the registro civil in the city of Durango.
 
Like someone said before ' thank God the Spanish
were compulsive record keepers".  They taught the  Mexicans
well!

Bautismos de Hijos Legitimos

I'm not sure if it has always been the same but I understand that
civil registry records are always made in duplicate; one for the local
office and a copy for the State archives of the civil registry.  So
even if the local copy was burnt there's a chance that the State's
copy survived.  As I said, that is how it is done today but I'm not
sure if the same rule applied back in 1903.

The other question is where were the microfilms made, at the local
office or at the state office?
