I hope someone can help me with some dead ends or at least help me fill in
some gaps.

The farthest Pedroza ancestor found to my knowledge is Santiago de Pedroza
who died before July 2 1656 and was married to Juana Bautista de Alva.
Their children were Marcos de Pedroza, Nicol?s de Pedroza, Juan de Pedroza
and Leonor de Pedroza.

The farthest of the Padilla ancestry is Jos? Trinidad who married    Mar?a
de San Jos? de Cervantes and their children were  Encarnaci?n Padilla, Jos?
Mar?a Padilla, Jos? Marcial Padilla and Mar?a Teresa de Jes?s Padilla.

Here is a link to my family tree to help bring any information you might
have.

Espero que alguien me puede ayudar con algunos callejones sin salida o al
menos ayudar a llenar algunos espacios.

El m?s lejano ancestro Pedroza encontrado a mi conocimiento es Santiago de
Pedroza que muri? antes del 2 de julio 1656 y se cas? con Juana Bautista de
Alva. Sus hijos fueron Marcos de Pedroza, Nicol?s de Pedroza, Juan de
Pedroza y Leonor de Pedroza.

El m?s alejado de la ascendencia es Jos? Trinidad Padilla quien se cas? con

Hello all. I am Jes?s Rodr?guez. I am new to this endeavor, and am constantly learning new things. My main area of interest is the municipalities of Valle de Juarez (formerly known as Valle de Mazamitla), Mazamitla, and Quitupan in the state of Jalisco. La Barca and the rest of Los Altos are also of great interest. The last names I am researching are Vega, Cisneros, Chavez, and most importantly, Rodriguez.

My first goal is to trace my Rodriguez patrilineal line all the way to Spain. I am aware of how great a task that could be, especially for a surname that has been as thoroughly diffused as Rodriguez. Nevertheless, I have made some progress. Using the 1930 Census, other civil records, Church records, and help from relatives, I have been able to trace back my ancestry beyond any reasonable doubt to 1873. First, there is my grandfather, Pascual Rodriguez, born in 1902 in Valle de Juarez and son of Sostenes Rodriguez and Maria Vega. Siblings include Manuel Rodriguez (b. 1904) and Maclovia Rodriguez (b. 1906). Sostenes Rodriguez was born in 1873, baptized in Mazamitla on 1 December, and was the son of Manuel Rodriguez and Trinidad Silva, and grandson of Jose Rodriguez and Teresa Martinez.

The details get hazy from Manuel Rodriguez onward. According to the 1930 Census in Valle de Juarez, Manuel Rodriguez was 75 years old, putting his birth year at around 1855. Also according to the Census, Trinidad Silva was 70 years old, putting her birth year at around 1860. However, that would make her only 13 when she gave birth to Sostenes Rodriguez, yet she is documented everywhere else as his mother. I have yet to find any other pertinent records for Manuel Rodriguez, Jose Rodriguez, and Teresa Martinez.

Of note are some physical features of both Sostenes Rodriguez and his father Manuel Rodriguez. Sostenes and Manuel were pale, freckled, and had red hair and green eyes, for which it was rumored that they were actually Spaniards. The features that still appear in much of my family today are the clear greenish eyes and the very light skin.

I would appreciate any help or guidance in advancing my investigation and tying up any loose ends. Thanks!

TAMBIEN HABLO BASTANTE BIEN EL ESPA?OL, ASI QUE AGRADEZCO TODA AYUDA POSIBLE SEA CUAL SEA EL LENGUAJE. GRACIAS!

Hi all Im hoping someone can help me with any info on the marriage of Maria Corral and Antonio Gutierrez. In the book "Encomenderos de la Nueva Espana" and in "Who's who of the Conquistadors" they are listed as a marriage and they had encomienda in Mizquihuala in the mid 1500's. Any leads or help will be appreciated. Gracias Jose Michel
