What are the good reasons and bad reasons to open up the group to the states
of Nayarit and Colima? Can y’all generate some discussion on that topic?
Let’s hear the pros and cons.

Do you think that opening the group to those doing research in Nayarit and
Colima would suddenly open the group to vast numbers of new members? Would
the discussions wildly go into topics that would alienate the current
membership? There are many members of the group that rarely speak out.
Please consider stepping into this discussion. I’d like feel the groups
pulse on this thought.

¿Cuáles son las razones buenas y las razones malas para abrir el grupo a los
Estados de Nayarit y Colima? ¿Ustedes pueden generar alguna discusión sobre
ese tema? Escuchemos los ideas buenas/malas de ese tema.

¿Crees que si abrimos el grupo a aquellos que hacen investigación en Nayarit
y Colima abriría grandes cantidades de nuevos miembros al grupo? ¿Las
discusiones iría en temas que podría alienar a los miembros actuales? Hay
muchos miembros del grupo que rara vez hablan. Por favor considere entrar en
esta discusión. Me gustaría sentir el pulso del grupo en este pensamiento

Dear Primos and Friends:

If you attend events celebrating Hispanic Month,September 15 to October 15, I encourage you share the experience with Somos Primos. Don't feel intimidated, a short little article and a photo or two is just fine.

What Somos Primos is trying to convey is the Latino presence all over the United States and world. Gratefully, it is the involvement and contributions of readers that is accomplishing that goal.

Thank you for your submissions, for finding and sending fascinating articles and tidbits. It such fun to open my emails and read what is happening.

God bless America, Mimi

My ggggggg grandparents "Antonio Madera (1660 - 1709?) and Maria De La Candelaria" were at "Minillas of Mezquitic, Jalisco, Mexico" I know they had 2,000 hectares in 1698, until his great grandson (my gggg grandfather) Francisco Madera (1723 - 1790) showed up in "Rancho De Los Madera's of Huejuquilla.

I found this map of the area and it shows that Minillas is a mining area. I wonder if mining was done there back in the 1600's.

http://mapserver.sgm.gob.mx/cartas_impresas/productos/cartas/tematicas/…

Here is a picture where you can see, "Minillas" on the map. If you look to upper left corner. You will see "Bajio De Madera's. In town of Huejuquilla there are two Rancho Madera's. "Bajio De Madera's and San Jose De Madera's."

I'm OK with opening up the group to include: Nayarit, sinaloa, Michoacan
and guanajuato. My ancestors were from Jalisco, Guanajuato, Michoacan,
Aguacalientes. I still have family in: Jalisco, Michoacan, Guanajuato,
some have migrated to Sinaloa, and to the USA, namely, Texas,
Colorado, Indiana, Illinois, California, Arizona.

I am bias to Jalisco, Michoacan, Guanajuato. However, I will defer the
decision to the older members of this group, since I joined about a year
ago.

Perhaps, a subgroup should be formed to specialize in the evolution of
Nueva Galacia which would include migration or the creation of Sinaloa,
etc.

Or "Decendants of Nueva Galicia. " Just a thought, or leave the group "as
is."

Some of the names of the ranches in Jalisco are rather interesting. My grandfather was identified as being from La Jabonera, San Juan de los Lagos when he married. I looked up the definition of La Jabonera and it means soapdish. I then saw on Google Maps that there was a La Jabonera in San Juan de Los Lagos, as well as Lagos de Moreno. This left me confused, because an aunt once told me our Campos family had land in Lagos de Moreno, yet christening/wedding records say La Jabonera, San Juan de Los Lagos. Did the people of Lagos de Moreno use the church in San Juan de Los Lagos? Also, does anybody know why a ranch would have a name like soapdish? I would love to figure out which is the right ranch and view it using Google Maps.

My mother's family came from Mezquitic Jalisco. She is 86 years old and she tells me that in years that were dry (drought) many families would move to other places. One popular place was Nayarit. Some families would return after the droughts, but others would remain in Nayarit. Her family eventually moved to Nayarit and I remember visiting my grandparents as a child and they had many friends from Mezquitic living in Nayarit. My grandparents moved there so their kids could continue with their studies, so that is another reason why some jalicienses moved to Nayarit.

An applicant to the group says this:

"La Yesca municipality in Nayarit which was a part of Jalisco in the 19th
century"

Can someone please send me a list of places that historically were part of
Jalisco, Zacatecas, and/or Aguascalientes but are in other states now?

Thanks for your help

Joeseph, as far as I am concerned we should open the group to persons doing research in Nayarit and Colima , as well as Zacatecas, Aguascalientes. Since those states belonged in the kingdom of Nueva Galicia during the pre independence of Mexico.
Remember that one of first founding of Guadalajara was in Zacatecas and also in Compostela, Nayarit.

Thanks

I am reading Lope Ruiz de Esparza's entry on Catalogo de Pasajeros a Indias Volumen VII, and comparing it with the original document posted here on nuestros ranchos, thanks to Arturo Ramos. I'm just curious, where on the internet can you browse through these books of "Contratacion"? I am not that familiar with the PARES website, so I'm not really sure how to look for these documents if they are available at all online.

Hello Nuestros Ranchos Friends,

Anyone with members from the vast Pelayo family surely can trace their roots to Miguel Cayetano Villegas Pelayo and Maria Lucia Angela Vidro Lopez Andrade. But the family of Matriarch, Lucia Angela, has remained elusive as we have never found a marriage or birth for her. I may have resolved the family links, but it is confusing and complicated so I am presenting my findings so that others can confirm or disprove what I believe to be true and possibly add other data.

The Dispensa of Alejo Rafael Pelayo and Lina del Carmel Lopez
Dated: 28 January, 1804 is important primarily because it
provides us the succession of names for Lucia's maternal line (however I believe the tree is erroneous in the connection to Antonio Lopez). In researching Lazaro and Eugenio I learned that they also used the names Lopez and Toscano interchangeably.

Geneological Tree: Antonio Lopez
Lazaro----------------------------------Lucia
Eugenio---------------------------------Francisca
Nicolas---------------------------------Lucia
Lina------------------------------------Alexo
(Bride) (Groom)
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18416-25472-12?cc=1874591&wc…

The key Dispensa that was most helpful to me is for Jose Maria Ponse and Maria Nepocemia Luna dated: 23 March, 1819.
Genealogical Tree: Domingo Lopez/Lucia Toscano

Quiteria Lopez-------Sisters------Francisca Lopez
Agustina Rosa Padilla-------------Rosa Vidro
Jose Luis Ponse-------------------Celia Luna
Jose Maria Ponse------------------Maria Nepocemia Luna

This tree gives us the specific names of Domingo Lopez and Lucia Toscano

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1942-31173-11176-8?cc=1937239&…

The marriage for: Domingo Lopez and Lucia Toscano took place on 8 February, 1701
in Tecolotlan. It is important to note that Lucia also uses the name Solis and her parents are listed as: Francisco Luis Toscano
Isabel de Zuniga

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18715-12468-37?cc=1874591&wc…

These are the children I have located for Francisco Luis Toscano and Isabel de Zuniga (It is very important to note that the name Zuniga and Solis are used interchangeably throughout the documents)

This is the baptism for Lucia:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18561-21007-91?cc=1874591&wc…

Baptism for: Agustin:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18561-21112-77?cc=1874591&wc…

Marriage for Josef Luis:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18522-1420-12?cc=1874591&wc=…

Marriage for Gaspar Toscano:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18573-54582-8?cc=1874591&wc=…

This is the baptism of Domingo Toscano (husband of Lucia Toscano,Zuniga y Solis) in Autlan:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18561-22372-13?cc=1874591&wc…

Two children of Domingo and Lucia are:
Rita Quiteria Lopez y Solis, married to Calletano Padilla
Their children were:
Mariana Claudia Padilla (married 3 times)
Augustina Rosa Padilla, married to Jose Eufracio Ponse
Their children include: Mariano Ponse, married to Maria Antonia Garcia
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18711-46842-32?cc=1874591&wc…
and Jose Luis Ponse, married to Maria Barajas
Their son is: Jose Maria Ponse (mentioned in the Dispensa with Maria Antonia Nepucena Luna).
Maria Antonia Nepucena Luna is the illegitimate daughter of: Maria Lucia Luna (also known as Celia) and her birth is actually registered mistakenly in the Burials:

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18457-72717-14?cc=1874591&wc…

Maria Lucia Luna (widow of Jose Pioquinto Velasco with whom she had several other children) is the daughter of:
Marcelo Antonio Luna (born @ 1743 and buried 4 Feb, 1791
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18457-73332-11?cc=1874591&wc…

and: Rosa Vidro (Buried 7 Feb, 1803)

My ggggggg grandfather is "Antonio Madera" of Minillas, Mezquitic, Jalisco, Mexico. He was born aproximately around 1660 (from what I was told from other nuestros ranchos members). He passed away sometime before 1709 as this document is proof where his daughter "Manuela Madera" in matrimonio of March 2, 1709. And it states that her parents are "Antonio Madera (difunto) and Maria De La Candelaria.

http://oi59.tinypic.com/9kpag3.jpg

I cannot find the archives of difuntos of Mezquitic in the time frame of 1690 - 1710. So I don't know how my ggggggg grandfather Antonio Madera passed away. But I found ot that in 1704 there was an indigenous uprising in Mezquitic, Jalisco, Mexico. I also know that my ggggggg grandfather had 2,000 hectares in the year 1686 was I was told by a person who resides in the City of Zacatecas and is doing heavy research of the area. He told me that he had seen the title of my ggggggg grandfather Antonio Madera as one of the original owners of Rancho Palmitos that is near Minillas, Mezquitic, Jalisco. And had 2,000 hectares. He stated in his comments:

"fijate que en el Archivo histórico de Zacatecas, recuerdo hace un tiempo haber visto un expediente sobre el rancho atemajac, que luego se llamò Palimitos y se remonta a 1698 y perteneciò a un señor de apellido Madera"

"Colinda con Mezquitic,
De hecho hay un racnho que pertence tanto a Mezquitic como a Valparaíso y se lama San Gerónimo, junto a él esta Palmitos."

"El documento también lo puedes enc ontrar, según vi las referencias en la Casa de la cultura Jurídica de Zacatecas, el año de 1893, cuando las compañías deslindadoras declarron baldíos los ranchos y haciendas de Valparaíso, fue el año de 1893 y el dueño del ranch mencionado era Gorgonio Navarro. Pero los primeros dueños fueron creo que Antonio Madera. A los hijos se les dio confirmación de la merced hecha en 1698. Y la superficie erq de mas de 2 mil hectáreas."

"De hecho en un trabajo de investigación que estoy realizando lo menciono, pues mi tema trata de las ahciendas en valparaíso y tuve que mencionar el dato porque se trata de la ocupación del suelo en Valparaíso. allí fue donde encontré ese dato que me sirvió."

And here is another set of comments:

"Tengo algunos datos sobre él.
De hecho tengo la escritura de cuando los madera compraron el terreno en 1698."

"el terreno donde se asentaron los Madera.
Pero no sé si después compraron otro, porque el terreno originario de los Madera (se llamaba el primer comprador Antonio Madera) fue el rancho de Palmitos que también se llamaba Atemajac."

"El 1759 compusieron el terreno para que no los invadieran los hacendados que los circundaban.
Una era la ahcienda de San Antonio de Padua y la otra era la ahcienda de Valparaíso."

Those are sets of comments that I was told by a historian of the City of Zacatecas that is doing heavy research of Zacatecas area. He told me that when he looked at the title, he wasn't allowed to photograph or make a copy. So he had to transcribe (copy) word for word typing what he read from the title onto his labtop.

When he mencions this commente: "el terreno donde se asentaron los Madera.
Pero no sé si después compraron otro, porque el terreno originario de los Madera (se llamaba el primer comprador Antonio Madera) fue el rancho de Palmitos que también se llamaba Atemajac.""

I told him that around 1720, it seems that my Madera ancestors Blas Madera/Maria Theresa Avila moved from Mezquitic to Huejuquilla and established themselves in "Rancho De Los Madera's" Blas Madera is the grandson of my ggggggg grandparents Antonio Madera/Maria De La Candelaria and the son of my gggggg grandparents Joseph Madera and Josepha Basquez (Velazquez)

I am very curious as to what caused the migration of people from Mezquitic to nearby Huejuquilla around the time period of 1720's. Because I met another nuestrosranchos member whose ancestors also migrated from Mezquitic to Huejuquilla during the 1720's. I also was told by another person that the "Landa" family migrated from Mezqutic to Huejuquilla.

Did an indigenous uprising in 1704 cause it? Did my ggggggg grandfather Antonio Madera pass away sometime prior to 1709 as a result of an indigenous uprising in Mezqutic? I don't know for sure and need to check the defunto records but there aren't any in the archives during that time period.

To recap:

My ggggggg parents:

Antonio Madera (1660 - 1709?)/Maria De La Candelaria (Minillas, Mezquitic, Jalisco, Mexico)

Joseph Madera (1684 - 1734)/Josepha Basquez (Velazquez) (Minillas, Mezquitic)

Blas Madera / Maria Theresa Abila (Moved to Huejuquilla???)

Francisco Madera (1723 - 1790)Rancho De Los Maderas / Maria Leocadia Huizar (1733 - 1813) Rancho Ximulco (Jimulco)

Juan Venancio (Benancio) Madera (1762 - 1820)Rancho Maderas / Maria Josepha? (Geronima Fernandez?)

Patricio Madera (1792 - ?)/Maria Dimas De La Paz (1819 -?)

Calixto Madera (1853? - 1923) Jimulco, Cerro Blanco / Maria Clemencia Madera (Rancho Maderas)

Antonio Madera Madera (1893 - ?)Jimulco / Maria Jesus Escalante

Hi Primos,for the many descendants from this site of Juan Simon Duran and Regina de Aguayo, I came across Juan Simon Duran's defuncion record. Can someone make out his testament. I can see he died 11/12/1673 at age of 80+ and he left as executors, "su mujer y a Juan Duran y Nicolas Duran sus hijos"

Can someone make out the rest of the document?

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-15206-181-44?cc=1804458&wc=M…

Also, does anyone have information on his parents or European origins?

I am beginning to dig into this family, and I found a book on google that mentions a Lope de Esparza from Navarra. This is the link: http://books.google.com/books?id=qxAvAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA127&dq=lope+ruiz+de+…

It looks like a compilation of verses that deal with the conquest of Valencia from the Moors, and I wonder if this refers to an ancestor of our Ruiz de Esparza. Granted, this took place in the 1200's but I just found it interesting. Here's the translation of the verse:

Lope de Esparza noble capitan de la guardia Real, vino desde Navarra con su muger e hijos a la conquista de esta ciudad: pintaba en su escudo un sol de oro, atravesado de una flecha, sobre campo verde. Acredito su heroico valor en la accion de la Boatella, donde el Rey D. Jaime fue herido de una saeta; e interpuso su autoridad para que se retirara, y lo llevo a su tienda para curarlo: por lo que agradecido el Rey, le dio a Benafer, libre de todo pecho.

I'm looking at the baptism record of my ancestor Juana Sanchez from Aguascalientes, back in 1619. Here's the link: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-267-11824-52477-0?cc=1502404&w…

It mentions that his parents Francisco Sanchez de Montes de Oca and Ana Tomassina Ruiz de Esparza were residents of "parado de Mestiticacan." I assumed at first that it meant the town of Mexticacan, but I have my doubts because it is so far away from Aguascalientes. Could it be that at that time Aguascalientes was the closest parish?

I'm still at the beginning stage of my research on this family. I'm amazed to find so many messages regarding the Ruiz de Esparza family and all the fellow members researching this family. Once again, I'd like to thank Austin Perez, who provided me the info to connect my tree to this family. Before this, I had only found a connection with 4, maybe 5 nuestros ranchos members. Now, I guess I have many more primos!

I am trying to find the parents of Teresa Carlos de Godoy married to Alejandro Fernandez. She says her father in Antonio Carlos de Godoy and grandfather is Joseph Carlos de Godoy. I have another Teresa Carlos de Godoy in the same time period who is married to Pedro Joseph Contreras. This Teresa is daughter of Antonio Carlos de Godoy and Catalina Sid Caldera.. Could they be the same Teresa?
Any help appreciated
