Susana:

In addition to all of the missing films you mention, Leonardo de la 
Torre Berumen, the municipal archivist in Jerez tells me that most of 
the years for confirmations in the mid-1600s are also available and 
while these are not as comprehensive as the baptisms as children that 
die young, etc. were not confirmed, any children that survived and 
later got married and procreated would certainly be in there.

There are also a whole series of "hojas sueltas" from the old 
Franciscan Convent in Colotlan that were never filmed.  These are 
also from marriages, baptisms, burials in the mid-1600s.  Also would 
be great to break through these brick walls.

I am going to try to access the latter when I am down there next 
week.  I will inquire about getting to see the former.  Would be 
worthwhile to have them all filmed (and indexed).  Someone in the 
group mentioned that they had Benito Samuel Sanchez Garcia help them 
arrange filming of previously unfilmed records.

Susana, thank you so much for posting so much wonderful work with 
documentation.  My 2 Caldera lines are from El Durazno, district of 
Jerez with the records showing some of thier children moving to Boca 
De San Pedro.  I did not have a parent/parents for Nicolas Caldera/ 
Leonor Rodarte in my files, I thank you for that. 
I have only taken my direct Caldera lines of Andres Caldera, abt 1720, 
wife, Catarina Gertrudis De La Cueva, abt 1730 and Joseph Antonio del 
Carmen/Carmel Caldera abt 1735, wife Ana de la Trinidad Garcia abt 
1730. Even though I think they are related I have not been able to 
prove it.. Even though the records all say Espanol for these Caldera's 
I'm always looking for Indio's too.
thank you again, what a wonderful addition you are to the Rancho's 
group.

I, too, am interested in hearing more about the Caldera and Carlos families
from Zacatecas. I have an assortment of Calderas from Zacatecas who went to
Durango. I have a grandma named Victoria Zavala-Carlos (H) Onofre
Aguilar-Hernandez who had Maria-del-Refugio "Cuca" Aguilar-Zavala from
Fresnillo. Also a grandma Maria-Anacleta "Cleta" Caldera married to
José-María(1) Garcia from Tepetongo.

I envision a hard time with the Calderas because I understand there were
about a dozen Miguel Calderas living about the same time, of which Don
Miguel Caldera was the only mestizo or Spaniard. All others were Indians who
had taken his name to honor him. All had a large number of children except
don Miguel. Regarding don Miguel: this is the book about him. It has been
translated into Spanish.

Capitán Mestizo: Miguel Caldera y la frontera norteña la pacificación de los
chichimecas (1548-1597) by Philip Wayne Powell

To the person who asked me about Benicio Samuel Sanchez Garcia
of Genealogia del Norte de Mexico. I
misplaced the e-mail and could not reply to you. Also, a senior moment
impeded my remembering your name.

I e-mailed him and he does speak English, so feel free to contact him. He is
expecting your e-mail.

I'm aware of the deadline and will be submitting a brief profile. Thanks for your patience. /Adelante

Rosalinda:

I think you are going to be amazed at what Susana has put together.  I 
had bits and pieces of this family's history from the Sagrada Mitra but 
she has been able to piece it all together amazingly well just from 
those dispensations.

Erlinda:

Yes I think that Rosalinda and I are both Calderas, in that we are 
descendants of Pedro Cid Caldera, who in turn was in turn, the nephew 
of Miguel de Caldera.

Susana:

Thank you so much for the information.  You will see that I have the 
birthdate for Agustin (Catalina's son).  I will search to see what else 
I have on these people as I go through your work.  Have you seen what 
Rosalinda and I have on the two Carlos de Godoy descendancies that we 
share?  I can send you a GEDCOM of these if you like.
