Buenas noches a todos,

Me llamo Sergio Salés y nací en el D.F., pero la familia de mi abuela
paterna es de Jalisco hasta donde he podido encontrar alrededor de 1690. A
continuación pongo los datos que tengo en inglés.

Hi,

Mi name is Sergio Salés, and I am researching the following last names in
Jalisco.

*Guzman or de Gusman family: Tecolotlan, Tuxcacuesco, and Autlan 1690s-
1870s*

My ancestors Juan de Gusman (?-1701) and Luisa Gomes (?-1701) had their
last child Juan Antonio de Gusman in Tecolotlan, Jalisco in 1692. I have
not been able to get farther back. Juan Antonio married Maria Antonia de
Zambrano (1702-?) in Tuxcacuesco, Jalisco in 1723. They had Sebastian de
Gusman (c.1736-1796). Sebastian married Maria de Jesus Michel in
Tuxcacuesco in 1779. Their first child was Santos Guzmán (1779-c.1840) who
married Josefa de Amador (1784-1826) in Guadalajara in 1813. They had Jose
Maria Guzmán (1817-after 1875) in Autlan. José Maria married Rosa Araiza
(1822-after 1875) in Autlan in 1837. Jose Maria and Rosa had Pedro Guzman
Araiza. I have not found his baptism but calculate he was born around
1844, since he was 22 in 1866 when he married Maria Paula Melendez in
Autlan. Pedro and Paula had my great-grandmother Maria de Jesus Guzmán
Melendez in Guadalajara in 1879. She married Silverio Reyes López on 22
Oct 1908 in Guadalajara. They had my paternal grandmother María Elena
Reyes Guzmán in 1913 in Guadalajara, Jalisco. Mi abuela conoció a mi
abuelo Luis Salés Puigdollers en el D.F. alrededor de 1940.

*Araiza family: Tecolotlan, Jalisco 1690s-Autlan, Jalisco 1870s*

Juan de Arayza y Medina and Maria del Castillo had Christobal (often
spelled Xptoval) de Arayza y Medina around 1680. I have not yet found his
baptism. Christobal married Maria de Gusman (daughter of Juan de Gusman
and Luisa Gomes) in Tecolotlan in 1701. Christobal and Maria had Agustin
de Araiza Gusman in Autlan, but I have not found his baptism. I estimate
he had to be born between 1702 and 1732, since he married Maria Rita de
Puga Gonzalez-Corona in Autlan in 1753. They had Josse Maria Araiza in
around 1765, since he was 23 in 1788 at his engagement to Guadalupe
Nicolasa Moscoso in Autlan. They had Pedro José Araiza in Autlan in
1797. Pedro
José married Maria Juana Nepomucena Lopez-de-Toledo Anguiano in Autlan in
1816. They had Rosa Araiza, who married into the Guzman family.

*Melendez (or Melendres) family: Villa de Purificacion, Jalisco
(1780s-1860s)*

Miguel Francisco Melendres (?-c.1806) and Maria Josefa Dominguez (?-c.1806)
had Joseph Miguel Ylario in Villa de Purificacion in 1786. Jose Miguel
married Maria Lauriana Magallon in Colima, Colima in 1806. They had Jose
Nabor Melendres Magallon in Villa de Purificacion in 1809. Nabor married
Juliana Araiza Quintero sometime before 1833. I have no info on Juliana’s
age. I do know that Juliana’s parents were Miguel Mauricio de Araiza
(?-1836) (Miguel Mauricio is probably related to the Autlan Araizas, but
not proof yet) and Maria Rita Quintero (c.1800-?). Nabor and Juliana had
Maria Paula Melendez Araiza around 1847 in Villa de Purificacion.

*Reyes family: Ahualulco and Tala, Jalisco 1740s-1870s*

Josef Cayetano Reyes (c.1746-?) and Juana Mariana Gonsales married in 1766
in Ahualulco de Mercado, Jalisco. They had Pedro Antonio Reyes in 1776
also in Ahualulco. Pedro Antonio married Maria Gertrudis Delgado in
1796. They
has Josef Tomas Reyes in 1812. Tomas married Secundina Días Nuñes around
1839. Their fourth child was Santiago Reyes Días, who married Gregoria
López Dávalos in 1872 in Ahualulco. They had by great-grandfather Silverio
Reyes López around 1883. Oddly, I have not been able to find much of any
information on Silverio. I know his name and age from his daughter, my
paternal grandmother. I do know he married Maria de Jesus Guzmán Melendez
in Guadalajara Oct 22, 1908. They had my grandmother María de Jesús Reyes
Guzmán in Guadalajara in 1913.

*L**ópez family, Hostotipaquillo, Jalisco 1840s*

This is the family that has been hardest to get any info. I know that
Gregoria López Dávalos was the daughter of Cecilio López and Basilia
Dávalos. Gregoria was born around 1843. I have not been able to find her
baptism or Cecilio and Basilia’s marriage.

Ésta es la familia conla que menos éxito he tenido. Sólo sé que Gregoria
López Dávalos nació alrededor de 1843 en Hostotipaquillo, Jalisco. También
sé que fue hija de Cecilio López y de Basilia Dávalos. Pero no sé cuando
de casaron. Gregoria se casó en 1872 con Santiago Reyes en Autlán, Jalisco.

Saludos a todos y un abrazo a mis parientes!
