Hi Rose,

I am researching in Sonora and searching for the elusive TISNADO who
migrated to Sonora from someplace in the seventeenth century.

Try these websites:

http://www.nps.gov/tuma/M2000.html
http://www.statemuseum.arizona.edu/oer/index.shtml

Be creative with the spelling of Durazzo. I found some possibilies.

Best,
George

>> Here is a quote from the prologue by Mariano Gonzalez Leal in the book,
>> Los Duran de Nochistlan.
>>
>> " Tambien hubo en Nochistl?n, sangre Genovesa, como la de los
>> Lavezzari-aqui conocidos por Lavezares, de quienes atr?s hemos hablado-y
>> la
>> de los Lomellini -aqui reputados Lomelines-, Carlos de Lomelin, a quien
>> en
>> la Relacion del siglo XVII se le hace, curiosamente, espa?ol de los
>> Reinos
>> de Genova, procedia de una de las siete Casas Nobles de G?nova, y fue
>> estanciero pr?spero en Mexticac?n. Establecido alli por 1624, cas? con
>> do?a
>> Maria de Benavides, descendiente del viejo linaje Nochistlense de ese
>> apellido, habiendo nacido de alli cinco v?stagos: Gaspar, Carlos, Juana,
>> Domingo y Maria.
>>
>> Juana cas? en Nochistl?n el 12 de Septiembre de 1621 con Rodrigo de
>> Carbajal y Ulloa; y viuda, pas? a segundas nupcias con el Jalostitlense
>> Don
>> Francisco Guti?rrez de Hermosillo, hijo del capit?n Francisco Guti?rrez
>> Rubio y de Do?a Leonor de Hermosillo. Por estas vias, gran parte de los
>> linajes Jalostitlenses remontan su ascendencia a los Lomelines de
>> Nochistlan.
>>
>> Domingo uni? su vida a la de do?a Juana de Mendoza, Jalostitlense; hija
>> de
>> Manuel G?mez y de do?a Catalina Hurtado de Mendoza. Cuatro varones y dos
>> hembras resultaron del connubio; a traves de tres de ellos se extendi?
>> generosamente el apellido en la regi?n.
>>
>> Maria de Lomelin y de Benavides cas? con el criollo de la ciudad de
>> Mejico, Don Nicolas P?rez de Contreras. Una hija de este matrimonio,
>> Juana,
>> que fue bautizada en Nochistlan el 3 de Febrere de 1643, cas?, casi ni?a,
>> con don Pedro Gallaga Mandarte y Rodriguez, hijo de Don Pedro y de do?a
>> Anna. Del matrimonio surgio el linage alte?o de los Gallagas, rama
>> materna
>> del sacerdote y guerrillero don Miguel Hidalgo-Costilla y
>> Gallaga-Mandarte.
