Hola, Ronnie y Armando,

My thanks to both of you for responding to my post. I have seen Sanchiz Ruiz' pages on GeneaNet, but the Vasquez information is new to me. Documentation is critical here, of course, but I shall incorporate the information as a guide to future research.

Thanks again.

Saludos,

Hola Lawrence , In "Jose luis Vazquez's book -Genealogia de Nochistlan- Chapter 28 page 96 there is a Diego Lomelin y Munoz Cabeza de Hermosillo. It states that Diego is the son of Joseph Lomeli y Gonzalez de Hermosillo and Micaela Gonzalez de Hermosillo. It does not say whom he married, I don't know if he is the one you are seeking.

Which Church records should I search for a 1781 Baptism account of Gertrudis Herrera born in Rancho Maria de la Torre, Zacatecas?

For Maria de la Torre you need to look in the Colotlan records. The
following page has two children being born in Maria de la Torre in the 1781
time period:

I have seen a Rancho de la Torre while going through the Tepetongo and Jerez church records.
I don't remember which one for sure.

I've seen rancho de Padre  Torre and rancho de la Torre in both Jerez and Tepetongo records so I would search in both if I were you.

Roots in Michoacan, Morelia, 1500s

Hi

Found this amazing family tree in the Morelia records:

I should have mentioned:

Starts with Don Jose Manuel de Santa Anna as the root (most recent individual) of the tree.

And - I know Michoacan is off topic, but I am following a lead on Petronila de Moctezuma, who possibly lived for a while in the area as a child.

Regards,
Denise

Comment

Hi Victoriano

You are most welcome! I do realize that people moved around a lot, so perhaps someone in this forum has connections to the Morelia area...Michoacan borders on Jalisco, and Morelia lies between Guadalajara and Mexico City.

Regards
Denise

Comment

Denise

In looking through the Spanish archives (PARES) for Moctzuma's descendants (and the elusive Petronila), I have found some trees like this. Occasionaly they would be in color, they were really quite amazing.

On the Petronila quest ...

The Codex Chimalpahin has an interesting statement concerning, apparently, five other children of Fernando Sotelo de Moctezuma (he was the son of Diego Arias de Sotelo) without naming them. The Codex clearly states that there were 10 children (the first five are the names normally seen), and that the other's names are unknown; they were living in "Michhuacan" 2ith their father; "Michhuacan" I assume is Michoacan. See volume 2, pp. 107-111, "Lineage of the Valderrama de Moteuccumas". Have you seen this?

I never found Petronila in the pedigree charts that I found in PARES.

Hello George

I had in fact seen a reference to this codex in one of your previous comments in this forum, and I have tried to get it through the Danish Library system, however, they will not send it. So it will have to wait until I can travel to Copenhagen (I live in Denmark). I have really enjoyed reading your contributions, and I appreciate your serious approach to research.

I have (for fun mostly) looked up some information in Pares bases on directions provided in this forum. Difficult, but I managed!

The search for info in Michoacan(Morelia, the large town near Tarimbaro) stems from my idea that if Diego Sotelos children were living on his (wifes) encomienda,which he stated during his trial for the Martin Cortes conspiracy, they might have been confirmed in a church there. The Spanish is hard for me to read, but I am hoping I would recognize the name Sotelo or Moctezuma if I saw it....

In any case, there ought to be some Sotelo de Moctezumas there somewhere, even if not Petronila. Two historical sources place the family there. If you want to take a look at the church records I am going through, let me know so we can coordinate it. There are supposedly a mix of docs including confirmations (which I havent yet found), starting in the 1550's of Morelia. 675 images in all...

Regards
Denise

Comment

Denise

Denmark! The internet truly makes this a small world! I discern from your profile that Copenhagen is a pretty substantial journey for you.

There is a book on Michoacan families that has a moderate amount of information about the Sotelo family "scattered" throughout it. It is called: ANDARIEGOS Y POBLADORES. NUEVA ESPAÑA Y NUEVA GALICIA (SIGLO XVI).

You can download the entire book as a pdf. Just do a google search for "Andariegos y Pobladores." This should come up as the first item on the list. It is 666 pages and the book is fully searchable.

Although the focus is Michoacan, it does have information on families relevent to Los Altos.

Comment

George,

Thanks for the tip! I will get to it after work, the book is one I was not aware of. And you are right, I live as far in Copenhagen as you can get and still be in Denmark.

I just came back from the US with a couple of other books on early colonial Mexico (Nahuas and Spaniards; The Encomenderos of New Spain; P. de Fuentes' The Conquistadors). Right now, this is where my interest lies. Reading about this era has answered questions I had about the movements of people on my family tree. I am not descended from the Sotelo de Moctezuma family (so far as I know) but the mystery attached to Petronila caught my imagination.

Juan Gutiérrez de Hermosillo was the son of Miguel Gutiérrez de Hermosillo and Catarina Cortes Delgadillo.

Another member of NR, Jorge Luis Ramírez Gómez, is also looking for the parents of that same Miguel Gutiérrez de Hermosillo. See http://www.nuestrosranchos.org/node/20067

The name Catarina (also spelled Catalina) Cortés Delgadillo is common. It seems there were at four women with the same full name from close to the same time period. One was the daughter of Diego Delgadillo and Petronila de Isla. The other was the daughter of Luis Delgadillo and Josefa de Isla. Another was the wife of Mateo de Rubalcava. The fourth was the wife of Miguel Gutiérrez de Hermosillo.

I think it says: "orig(a) de la Ciudad de Zacat(s)", with the letters in parenthesis appearing on superscript. Without abbreviations it should be "originaria de la Ciudad de Zacatecas", so I think she was from there.

Victoriano,

Thank you so much for your assistance.I just have one more question so i have these ancestors from cuquio,jalisco and they got married in the year 1682, and the earliest they have on Familysearch is 1711?Any suggestions.

Comment

Hi Abram,
The records might be in the books of a nearby parish if they didn't have a full time priest in the town and some priest form a nearby town had to go to perform marriages. You can keep checking on Familysearch every 6 months or so to see if they have already indexed some records with your ancestors. Besides that, you may look for them in the Guadalajaradispensas website, if they were related or if some of their descendants were related and got married, they may have some information about them.

Victoriano Navarro

Hello Barbara,
Thanks so much for your response.  Since I'm not educated in Spanish, much less old Spanish, I'm not sure what it all means.  Arrambide is to visit the school every six months to make sure students are learning?  At the end, I get the impression the bishop is asking the students to pay the teacher?  Very confusing.  I appreciate your effort.  Alice

Hi Alice, It sounded to me that he was being appointed to teach the children of the poor (paones) in the town of Cargandole. He is being charged with having someone go every six months and check on the progress to make sure the children are well educated in all christian doctrine. He is also being charged with the task of making sure that the children continue to keep up their education, and yes, I think the last part is saying that some of these children may actually be able to contribute to assist said teacher and pay back fairly what is right.

Although I can read the words, some words have different meaning back in those days than what we know them to mean today. However, I believe that to be the gist of what is meant.

Good Luck

Since you have been stumped for more than a year and a half, this is where autosomal tests could come in handy. They provide a list of matches to autosomal DNA. Everyone in the list is a relative, the downside is that they don't always have a completed tree and they don't always respond. However, sometimes they just don't know how to complete their tree and since you know how to do that then you might find the connection between them. Sometimes it might be along a line you already have completed, but if it isn't then it is probably one the missing ancestors' line. I can provide you personal examples if you would like to see them.

The three companies are -

Family Finder with FamilyTreeDNA (highest response rate)

Ancestry.com DNA test (Genetic Ethnicity can be way off. Medium response rate)

23andme.com (Lowest response rate. No information on the match is available unless they respond. It has the best ethnicity breakdown)

Information in parenthesis is per the info found in the following two links -

Comment

Armando,

Thank you for the suggestion; I hadn't really thought so much about DNA testing. The line I am researching is that of a friend in Los Angeles, both of whose parents are from Guadalajara—hence, my Jalisco interest. My own line includes only 3/16 'Californio'—from México, Costa Rica, Spain, and Venezuela, but it is that line with which I identify most closely in my own genealogy. (My Costa Rican 2X-great-grandparents founded a community in Los Angeles that is still thriving and active.)

I will suggest the DNA route to my friend to gauge her interest; that may be a way to overcome one or more of the current brick walls.

Saludos,
Lawrence

Thank you for the tip; the births in that FamilySearch search, however, are 35–40 years too early, since Macedonia Navarro's age at her marriage in 1884 was given as 20 years, which makes her birth year about 1864.

Thanks, Roy and Arturo. Antonio San Martin Y Estrada is my 6x great grandfather. I am curious as to how he is related to you? Also, did you find information for his family in Jalpa?

Happy Holidays

Juan,

The dish you describe sounds exactly like a recipe my Dad and Aunt taught
me how to make. Only they called it "Mole de Rancho".

I just sent a posting and forgot to put a subject heading. It should read
"Cuachala". Sorry. Can it be added?

There could be a couple of issues.

One might be the word processor you are using, or perhaps the version.

If you are using the current PC version of Word, after saving the file, press the ¶ button to show the spaces, paragraph marks, and so on. You should then see the control codes for building the index if you are using Word.

Then use the Word command to insert the index. You may have to work with the formatting to make it look nice.

A better way to go would be to use PAF Companion. This does a better job of formatting the reports. You will have to buy this; the PAF and PAF Companion software used to cost about $10 on CD, but I think you can also down load it for the same price.

PAF Companion launches either from within PAF, or can be run separately.

PAF Companion also prints nice charts. I have made charts as large as 3 ft x 3 ft, saved them as pdf files and then had them printed on a large format printer at Kinko and the UPS Store.

PAF and PAF Companion are not as sophisticated as the newer software (and there is not a MAC version that works like the PC version), but for $10 it is hard to beat.

On the MAC, this software runs OK on Virtual PC, but is only a little slower.

I am interested in that recipe. My ancestors are from San Juan de los Lagos, and I don't have any recipes from that area. Please share. It does sound Spanish, with the almonds and all.

Hello Emilie,

I am looking for descendants and ancestors of Ricardo Puente - I think
it's Ricardo Obispo de la Puente born about 1783 presumeably in
Zacatecas although one record says Piedras Moradas. He was married to
Simona de la Cruz (Alemán?) who seems to have used several surnames.
Children are some or all of the following: Diego Antonio, Narciso,
Gregoria, Deonicia, Gregorio, Francisco, and Juan Bautista, all born
in various parts of Zacatecas and San Luis Potosí including San
Sebastián Venado SLP, Matancillas Zac, San Miguel Mezquitic SLP, San
Matías Sierra de Pinos Zac, San Gerónimo Moctezuma SLP.

My particular ancestor is Diego Antonio de la Puente. His children
were born in Chorillo Sombrerete Zac, Tecomates Río Verde SLP,
Matancillas, and probably Ojuelos Jalisco. The whole family seems to
be scattered around a lot and I suspect they worked in the mines.

If anyone recognizes any of these names I'd like to hear from you.

Best regards,

Well this looks like the same couple since the location is right but the
date of 1770 makes born in 1783 seem not correct especially since several of
the children you named were born between 1775-1791:

I've never heard of this dish. Sounds more cosmopolitan than ranchero. Probably is a Spanish/Moorish dish. Joe Rubio

My grandmother use to make a dish called pollo con naranjas, it was great with chicken, oranges, onion, almonds and the spices were cinamon, cloves, salt pepper and saffron. my mother told that this dish was something that her grandmother also made.

Comment

From the ingredients, this appears to be a spanish dish, meaning from Spain. Where did your mother grow up and where was her grandmother from?

My mother grew up in the U.S. her mother's family was from San Juan de los lagos, San Julian and Union de San Antonio all in Jalisco.

Comment

Alicia,

I thought the same thing, that this dish is Spanish, probably the southern part of Spain where Arabs are numerous and they cook a lot with oranges (Valencias?) and almonds. I have read that in some parts of Mexico, people brought Moorish-inspired foods to the New World.

My mother and father met and married in San Francisco, CA. They were both
young people arriving with a parent: my mother with her widowed mother when
she was eight in 1920 and my father with my grandfather in 1925 when my
father was sixteen. After having two daughters my father returned in 1940
with the family to his hometown of Tamazula de Gordiano, Jalisco. I was
born there along with my younger sister. It was there that my mother
learned to make Cuachala. I miss my mother's making of this special dish
(we do have her handwritten recipe somewhere). Cuachala has as its main
ingredients (as I remember), gallina, boiled and shredded (she said never a
pollo, always a hen), masa, chili flakes and the rest I do not remember. It
is served in bowls as a thick broth (like atole). She claimed it was a dish
inigenous to Tamazula and the region. I don't know if that part is a fact.
Any other cuachala aficionados?

Juan,

I never heard of this dish (chicken stew, southern Jalisco style). It sounds good. I looked for a recipe and I found this one:

Juan I just noticed you said you grew up in Tamazula.. Did you know any of the Mendez Family, they had a casa de cambio there. I visited them in 2003 but they were very afraid of us since we were strangers.. When I got back home I found out he had been kidnapped for ransom a while before.. his name was Ramon Mendez married to Edeina Torres, they my gr-grandmothers family. What a small world again!
