Arturo,

Professionally, I have been doing technical, economic, and demographic
research for decades, - - - and genealogical for the last several years.

I am fortunate to be in Southern California, which has a multitude of

Has anyone used WorldCat (http://www.worldcat.org) to locate hard-to-find materials and then requested them by interlibrary loan?

Recently, someone from the Ranchos group, emailed asking about the group that I have for all of Mexico. I just wanted to let everyone know. that the group is Mexicanfhr and can be found at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mexicanfhr/ . So feel free to drop in and see there is anything that the group can offer, if you are researching outside of Jalisco, Zacatecas, or Aguascalientes.

Hey Arturo!
I know you got help already on this, but i thought you might want to see the record, as well.

Let me know if you can view it (I hope)! I posted it here because I was thinking other people, like me, like to

I just wanted to let everyone know, that Ancestry now has the "Border Crossings: From Mexico to U.S., 1903-1957" online now.

Thank you! As I have completed some 40 years and some 1700 ancestors and
descendents of my own line, i am attempting to asssist her in her line. Ysidro was
married three times, Apolonia was 3rd wife, they had three children, Antonio,

Im requesting a marriage look up for anyone that is going to Salt Lake anytime soon. I have a better record that doesnt require trial and error for the baptisms in my Cienega de Mata. Here it is...

Dear Maureen,

Have you ever been there? It is soo beautiful. It is also one of the few
places where Native Americans abound...El Valle is about 15 minutes from
Tangancicuaro...and the border between El Valle and Etucuaro is virtually

Films are being digitally recorded by the LDS library, but at this time
very few if any are available for the areas we research in Jalisco,
Zacatecas, and/or Aguascalientes.

At this time you can't access the actual films online but have to order

Daniel,

I belive the compounded surname "Diaz de Tiscareño" began in 1659, when
Baltazar Diaz married Beatriz de Tiscareño. I don't know who Baltazar's
parents were, but Beatriz's parents were Luis Tiscareño de Molina and

Is anyone going to Salt Lake anytime soon? I will be starting school so wont have as much time to do research as I do in summer or vacations. I would appreaciate if someone is going that they could look up somethings. I need someone to look at Bautismos de hijos legítimos 1724-1747 - FHL INTL Film [ 640150 ]

Does anyone know if all the baptims are required to include the pat. and mat. grandparent's names? Or did it just depend on the preist. Ive only seen 1800's baptisms and always include parents, pat. and mat.

I have a request for a film look-up. We are looking for the baptism record of Magdalena LOPEZ Rodrigues born 22 Jul 1901. Mascota, Jalisco. Her SSDI shows 1901, but the vital records for Calif death records shows the birthdate as 22 Jul 1898. So if someone has Bapt. film # 1156173 for Mascota, Jal, I would appreciate a look-up. We don't know the parents names and just found out her mother's maiden name is Rodrigues. I noticed the Ranchos film database has 3 films from Mascota and I am hoping maybe our listing is not up to date.

I have just returned from a trip to Guadalajara, and a small ranch known as
Nopalitos (near Arandas), as well as Zamora and surrounding villages.

I got some great pictures of refurbished hacienda (pictures will follow) for

I just posted my updated files on Rootsweb and need to warn anyone using them to know they are compromised. I merged FTM from my two different computers after I got a virus last year. It not only eliminated some records it merged families and gave spouses to the wrong people in the wrong states in Mexico. The only way I have of finding and making corrections if is someone contacts me about finding an error in a record, then I can correct it. I have over 40,000 names so it's impossible for me to find them all even though I am trying very hard to fix the problem without just starting over.

Does anyone descend from this line? I need some help. I have done research about the this family extensivley? And have come to a conclusion that this surname was created when Antonio Dias de la Loma married Luis Tiscareno de Molina y Ruis de Esparza. Does anyone about this stuff? I do have Antonio del Pascual y Dias de la Loma's baptism record. He was baptized Antonio del Pascual y Dias de la Loma on February 10, 1645 ( I have the film #) in Villalba De La Loma, Valladolid, Spain, (thats prob where his mother got the Dias de la Loma surname, from the city name? His parents are Antonio DEL PASCUAL, yes, PASCUAL is the surname. and his mother Maria Dias de la Loma, for some reason when he arrived in Mexico prob. around 1670 or so becuase he was married in 1674 to Luisa Tiscareno de Molina y Ruis de Esparza in Aguascalientes (Luisa's mother is Lorenza Ruis de Esparza y Navarro de Gabay b. ca. 1600. All the Tiscareno must be related because we do know tha Luis Tiscareno de Molina y Marques brought to Mexico from Triana, Seville, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain around 1620. He was married to Lorenza de Esparza on May 16, 1623 in Aguas. This is my fathers line and would like to know more about it: Here is the list:

The National Archives site provides a lot of background information - the why and how - of the border crossing records. See that information at this site:

Does anybody know how to obtain copies of land grants given to the Espanoles in Mexico? I know I descend from several HAcendados from old Mexico, but im most interested in the land grant made on Feb 17, 1899 in Huanusco, Zacatecas.

Who if anyone is doing Godoy/Godoi research either in Tlaltenango or
Tepechitlan? Possibly from a rancho called Rancho las Lunas?

I have a cousin who is doing this research and wanted to see if he has

Joseph, et al:

I am sorry that I never got around to going to look at these records. I know that a number of you had requested that I look up records for you. I believe that my grandfather is in these records as well.

Alice,

I finally found the page I used to register. I hope the link below works on your end. If it doesn't, it could be that they are overwhelmed with requests to register and can't handle them all. They tried to limit the number of users so they can effectively handle the feedback and work out the kinks in the pilot, so they might be blocking further requests for registration.

Has anyone ever seen an example of a padrino for a marriage or baptism
that wore the same surname of either the parents or the couple being
married that WASN'T a relative?

Example. A person wears the name of Garcia and he marries someone and in
