Hello Elysia,

Which haplogroup did Familytree say your father belongs to? I am guessing
R1b based on the Irish hit. That connection could go back 10,000 years or
so. The speculation is about 5,000 years ago Basque fishermen went to what
is now Ireland and is why these two areas have the highest incidence of R1b.
Familytree will have his predicted haplogroup at the top
https://www.familytreedna.com/my-ftdna/y-dna-haplotree.aspx and there will
also be a shorthand code such as M-269, M-73, M-343, etc. Can you provide us
with that?
Have you uploaded your father's ysearch? There is a link there to carry over
the DNA info so you can look for other hits besides those on Familysearch.
Something else you should know is the only test that can tell you within 95%
certainty who is related within the past 20 generations or less is the 111
marker test with 109 or so markers matching. How many markers was your
father test for?

Saludos
Armando

Hi Armando!

that makes sense, about the basque connection, as that is what my grandmother would tell my relatives, that we were basque on her side.

Were the Esparzas known to be of basque lineage? I think my dad just got the basic test. I will have to press him to get his password and what not so I can follow up, thank you!

Elysia,

It's not only the Basques that have R1b therefore having R1b doesn't mean
having Basque ancestry in the recent past. It means there is a common
ancestor up to 20,000 years ago that had some descendants that became known
as the Basque.

I went ahead and checked to see what the predicted haplogroup is for the
markers you provided using
http://www.hprg.com/hapest5/hapest5a/hapest5.htmIt shows an 89%
probability that is is haplogroup I2a1. According to Eupedia
*I2a1* (formerly I1b2) is found chiefly among the Sardinians and the
Basques, and is rarely found outside Iberia, Western France, the West coast
of Italy and the Mediterranean coast of the Maghreb. It accounts for
approximately 40% of all Y-DNA haplogroups among the Sardinians. I2a1 is
estimated to be 8,000 years old.
http://www.eupedia.com/europe/origins_haplogroups_europe.shtml#I So even
though that isn't R1b it still can be Basque.

Esparza is from Navarra which borders the Basque provinces and has a close
connection with the Basque people. Navarra is the province where the city of
Pamplona is located which is where they have the famous festival of San
Fermín and the running of the bulls.

Saludos,
Armando

Armando,
I have my brother's yDNA which was taken by National Geographic:
Haplogroup R1b, M343 (Subclade R1b1b2, M269). Can you explain something
about this? Also I am going to do the mtDNA; who do you recommend I do this
with? fmilytreedna? Thank you for any help you can give me with this.

Hello Esther,

I also belong to Subclade R1b1b2, M269. There is limited info on it. It is
about 9,500 years old and it is found mostly among the Welsh 92%, Basque
87%, and Irish 85%. There is more info about Haplogroup R1b in general.
Eupedia and Wikipedia are good places to read a little more about both R1b
and the subclade M269.

http://www.eupedia.com/europe/origins_haplogroups_europe.shtml
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_R1b

Your brother can have his test transferred to FamilyTreeDNA. There is a
statement on the NatGeo site that says

*Already a Genographic Participant?*

You can further your genealogical research by transferring your record to
FTDNA for free.

Once he has it transferred he can order an upgrade for a test of more
markers of his Y-DNA as well as order an MTDNA test. Men can test for both
Y-DNA and MT-DNA. He might be able to reduce the price by joining one of the
projects such as the Gary Felix Mexico DNA project and/or the Iberian DNA
project. You can join more than one project at a time.

Gary Felix Mexico DNA project

Thank you, Armando, this information is great. I will send this info to my
brother so that he can do what you suggest. Would it make any difference if
I also took the mtDNA test?

It won't make a difference of you also take the mtDNA test except a possible
added cost. There could be a small cost saving if your brother did it since
combined tests can be cheaper. Plus they may offer him a discount for having
been with the Genographic project.

During the transfer process, you can join a group project. Project
membership includes a reduced rate for upgrades. Family Tree DNA will not
need to collect your sample again. We store your DNA for 25 years - FREE of
charge.

7. What is the Genographic Project's relationship with Family Tree DNA
(FTDNA)?

Family Tree DNA, a leading genetic testing company, partners with National
Geographic on public participation testing for the project. Public
participant cheek-swab samples sent into the Genographic Project are
processed at the Arizona Research Labs at the University of Arizona via
Family Tree DNA. Family Tree DNA also works with the Genographic Project to
help address individual questions from public participants regarding
participation and results.

You could order the film or request as a scan from Salt Lake. Itusually

costs 2.00 but if you only order one its $4.00. Id say order another

record you have along with this one.

Nuestros Ranchos does not have any films that I know of. The films that are
mentioned are available at the family history centers and have a fee
associated with them for shipping to the centers. At the Family History
Library there is a service provided by the Photodup unit (that's what they
call it :•)). Daniel has given you the cost. The phone number is 801 240
1000. Be ready to suply film number, date, and name, (they do not do
research). They send you a copy of the document associated with the

Trying both is good! Like my experience, I order films

because it will allow you to look for numerous other relatives

in those years, I normally use the service to order a particular

record I have an exact date of (thanks to IGI) but do not

wish to start that area or am not ready to move into that

area in my research; I currently have 17 records that I will

order eventually through the FHL service because I am not

too familiarized with ceratin areas yet. One of these areas is

Ciudad Guanajuato, Gto. I recently discovered I have some

acnestors but am not ready to full on order films quite yet.

I order through the service because I can still keep

extend my tree, 17 records: alot of new ancestors waiting

to be discovered!

-Daniel

Let me know when the film arrives and you find out the names of your

new ancestors! The older you get in Los Altos, the easier

it is (usually) to trace the family to its trunk!

To Paul,

I typed in the batch number C607086 and got the following results.

Jose Hilaria Peña, parents: Francisco Peña/ Maria Alvina Villalpando
Bp: 3 Feb 1793, Nstra. Sra. De Los Dolores, Teocaltiche
film: 634024, batch C607086 (1787-1795) in IGI

Maria Damiana de Peña, parents: Francisco de Peña/ Maria Alvina de Soto
Bp: 9 Oct 1791, batch C607086 in IGI

Jose Aniceto Peña, parents: Fernano Peña/ Alvina de Soto
Bp: 30 Apr 1788

Jose Maria Peña, parents: Francisco Peña/ Alvina de Soto
Bp: 4 Oct 1789

Nuestros Ranchos has lists of films and batch numbers. Using them can speed up a search sometimes. As you can see the records don't always match what we expect. I think the four people listed above are ones that you are trying to find. Good luck...

To Paul,

I typed in the batch number C607086 and got the following results.

Jose Hilaria Peña, parents: Francisco Peña/ Maria Alvina Villalpando
Bp: 3 Feb 1793, Nstra. Sra. De Los Dolores, Teocaltiche
film: 634024, batch C607086 (1787-1795) in IGI

Maria Damiana de Peña, parents: Francisco de Peña/ Maria Alvina de Soto
Bp: 9 Oct 1791, batch C607086 in IGI

Jose Aniceto Peña, parents: Fernano Peña/ Alvina de Soto
Bp: 30 Apr 1788

Jose Maria Peña, parents: Francisco Peña/ Alvina de Soto
Bp: 4 Oct 1789

Nuestros Ranchos has lists of films and batch numbers. Using them can speed
up a search sometimes. As you can see the records don't always match what
we expect. I think the four people listed above are ones that you are
trying to find. Good luck...

Lance,
Welcome to the group. My ancestors are also from Jalostotitlan. Many of the records have now been uploaded and you can do research directly on the internet without having to order the films. My family includes lots of Gutierrez. Good luck.

Hello and Saludos cordiales, my name is Lance Gonzalez and thank you for
llowing me to be a new member. I live in the area of Riverside, California
nd am researching the maternal side of my father's family: The names of
arcia Serratos Hernandez and Gutierrez are from Jalisco and later lived in
acatecas.

My great-grandfather Apolonio Garcia Serratos was said to be born in
alostotitlan Around 1872, although I could not find him in the church
egisters of Jalos.
My Grandmother Agripina Garcia Hernandez was born in Acatic, Jalisco on the
3 of June 1907. The godparents "padrinos" listed on baptism were Abraham
onzalez, and Maria Rutila Gonzalez; brother & Sister, Don Abraham was later
he president of Acatic and a senator of Jalisco.
Agripina's older siblings:
Rafael Garcia born around 1902, Agustina Garcia Around 1905, he was said to
e a Lawyer Virginia Garcia, Around 1906, and Beatriz 29 July 1904, were
aid to be born in Acatic also although I have not confirmed this. The
ounger siblings" Salvador Garcia,Born 3 Mar 1916, Rebecca Garcia, around
918 and Demetrio 1920 and they were born in either Fresnillo (Where
gripina Garcia) attended the"Universidad de Autonoma").

On a side I made an earlier post to the "Research Forum" and I thought I had
ade a post to the "History, culture and general discussion forum" Sorry I
m still learning my way around.

Eloise, Thank you for your welcome. I had thought that Apolonio was from Jalos. because of an IGI from the LDS Library that I had found. In reality my great-grandparents paternal & Maternal were from Arandas. I have learned an important lesson; and that is one's information is only as good as one's sources. Thanks for the well wishes

Reference on Genetic Testing and Population Migration

Does anyone know of a good reference on genetic testing for genealogy and for population migrations/studies that one does not need to be a geneticist to read?

Hi George,
I don't know of a book, but the National Geographic Genographic Project website has a lot of information (in layman's terms), and includes a few interested graphics.

I would start looking there.
https://genographic.nationalgeographic.com/genographic/index.html

Here is their list of publications for further reading:
https://genographic.nationalgeographic.com/genographic/lan/en/resources…

I hope this helps.

Hi George,

The National Geograpic website is an excellent source for genetic understanding/questions. The Genographic Project is extremely interesting -- Nat Geographic put together a documentary a couple of years back and I think you can access it through their site. jgm

Comment

Thank you to all who replied to my query.

I saw the National Geographic Genographics Project special when it came on TV; I thought it was well done. They presented quite a lot of information. Watching it again would certainly be beneficial. This might clear up many of the questions about what these studies tell us, and perhaps more importantly in some cases, what they don't.

De la Finada

I've found the phrase, "de la finada" recently in some marriage records and I'm not familiar with the phrase.

Comments

Comment

Finado/Finada definitely means deceased. It actually is a fairly common term
even though in church records the term difunto is used for the most part.
The online dictionary of the Royal Academy of Spanish is a great place to
look up terms in many cases.

I agree with Armando on the the meaning of finada. The cool thing about the
information is that you now have a date by which she was deceased and do not
have to look after that date in the defunciones.

Batch number de Matrimonios de Teuchitlan

Necesito ayuda para encontar un bath number de los matrimonios en teuchitlan, solo cuento con el numero de serie es el 440684. que corresponde al libro de matrimonios en teuchitlan de 1832 - 1874.

Gloria Casillas

busco y busco los batch number de los matrimonios en teuchitlan y no logro encontrar nada, si alguien sabe alguno por favor envienmelo, gracias

Comment

I checked the Parish and Vital Records List for Jul 1998 (this is the latest one I have access to). It only lists batch numbers for baptisms, and none for marriages.

The numbers are as follows
1822-31 C603191
1832-46 J603192 AND K603192
1846-56 J603193 AND K603193
1856-71 J603194 AND K603194
1871-75 C603195

I also did a search for marriages from Teuchitlan for various date ranges from 1800 to about 1880, with no results.

There are some marriages from the 1900s, but they do not have a batch number associated with them.

From this I must conclude that the Teuchitlan marriages have not been extracted. The only option is to search the films image by image.

Comment

Gloria, have you considered variations of their names? While I didn't find
marriage dates for these couples, their children might offer an approximate
date to look into, such as Informacion Matrimonial, etc.

Some of these children you may already have but here's what I found:
Alvino Rozendo *Salbio Angeles*, his parents: *Mariano Salbio y Feliciana De
Los Angeles*
He was christened 3 Mar 1866, Ahualulco de Mercado, Jalisco [Batch C604386
(1862-1869) film #0282302].
Amelia *Salvia Angel*, her parents: *Mariano Salvia y Feliciana Angel*
christened 1 Dec 1870, Teuchitlan, Jalisco [Batch K603194 (1865-1871) film
#044067].
Anselma *Salvio Angel*, her parents: *Mariano Salvia y Feliciana Angel*
christened June 1873, Ahalulco de Mercado, Jalisco [Batch K604387
(1869-1875) film #0282303].
Maria Leonor *Salvia*, ch. 26 Dec 1885, Ahualulco de Mercado, Jalisco [Batch
102898-1 Image 6161, record #550, location source 835 INDEX05]. Her
parents: *Mariano Salvia y Felisiana Angel.*
For *Jose Mariano Salvio Zalazar *I found he was christened *3 November
1834, Teuchitlan, Jalisco* [Batch #J603192 (1832-1846) film # 0440645], and
a sister by the name of *Ricarda Salvio, ch. 5 apr. 1830, Teuchitlan,
Jalisco *[Batch #K603192 (1832-1846) film #0440645] This lists her parents
as *Jose Salvio y Paula Anselma
*
Let me know if this helps.

Guadalajara Marriage dispensations

Hello all,

Comments

Comment

I just posted a comment before reading this. I was asking for help in finding a document of marriage dispensation. I am looking for informacion matrimonial probably requested in late 1880 and permission granded in January 1881. I reviewed a couple of periods that included those years and found records as late as 1954 mixed in with the 1800s.

Rosie Cordova

Comment

Rose, thank you for posting these. I am sure that somewhere down the line, if not already, you have helped someone find some very important info about their ancestors.

I also plan to post more of these as I am making copious notes while I sift through hundreds of images that have not been indexed.

I really appreciate your effort!

huerfano

Dear Group,
I've come across something new to me.  I can't find my 7grgrandfather's, Miguel Anaya Villagran aka Villagran Anaya, baptismal/birth information, but on his 1719 informacion

Comments

Comment

if the child truly is a huerfano then it is a dead end but if it a
family member via a mistress, maid, rape, etc. then it would be
something that maybe only a Y-DNA test and some very difficult genealogy
research can solve. Unless you find some unusual record that spells out
the situation.

for example if you suspect that the child is a family member then if he
is a male child then you'd need to trace to one of his currently living
direct line descendants and compare that male's YDNA with one you know
for sure is not a huerfano but wears that same last name's YDNA.

very hard and difficult to achieve.

Alice,
I've seen examples of certain priests to refer to 'huerfano' or 'huerfana', instead of 'padres no conocidos', when when the respective groom or bride belong to a well to do family. My interpretation is that it woud be a way of hidding what the community at the time would perceive as somewhat obscure and perhaps embaracing (ilegitimate), origin. It was kind of a no ask don't tell attitude, that may legitimatize future generations. In my experience, these are dead end cases, with few exceptions where ilegitimate children are ultimately recognized in last wills and testaments by their parents.

Comment

Alicia,
I also have a male ancestor who was "hijo de la iglesia" at baptism and in the info matrimonial dated 1680 he was "huerfano, criado en la casa de xxx." He was raised in a well-to-do family, and married into a well-to-do family -- so I assume the same thing that Jaime Alvarado mentions above. He must have been an illegitimate child of someone in the home. I consider it a dead end; a secret that died with those few who knew the truth about the issue and who his biological parents were.

I have read, although never found such a case, about single daughters in the home who got pregnant. They were kept behind closed doors during pregnancy, gave birth in secret, and then the baby was given to an aunt, uncle or other relative to raise in their home.

Your last bet would be a will in which your ancestor may have been mentioned. Tricky, tricky, tricky.

I request input/thoughts from Nuestros Ranchos members, as this can't be an unique situation within a group of over five hundred members researching hundreds of years back in time.
  I'm interested in hearing from as many members as possible as to how experienced genalogists within and without our group handle a similar situation.  Modern adoptive parents consider their adoptees to be no different from biological offspring. 
Therefore, what is the protocol?  Do genalogists today proceed up the adoptive parents' family trees and consider it the adoptees' background? 
If adoptive parents were named as adoptive parents in old informacion matrimonials, do you stop there, or continue with the adoptive parents' family line as yours?
My thoughts are that long ago, if a couple adopted and considered the child their own, they probably never told the child that he/she was adopted, and they and we continue in ignorant bliss. 
I'm slowly resigning myself to the conclusion that this is a dead end.  It would be extremely difficult concluding who Miguel Anaya Villagran's  parents were as there were very many Anaya/Analla's in the area in the early 1700's, and more children born to padres no conocidos than I would have thought for the time and place. 
Thanks again for all who were kind and thoughtful enough to respond and I look forward to further responses in order to learn from others' experience who are willing to share their knowledge.   Alice Blake

Alice,
I have many male cousins who got involved with the maids in their home and
as a result 2 or 3 children were born to these maids. I had an aunt who
adopted all these children because she could not have any of her own. So
while the fathers didn't claim them, they were still adopted and stayed
within the family. Just another possibility.

Alice just sharing one case.. the man was raised as an expuesto in de la Cueva
home and he took their surname and must have been treated as a son since their
children were padrinos and witnesses..  After he married in grew up, had
children all of a sudden Hurtado starts showing up as his surname then he goes
back and forth with both surnames as his children did, this is in Jerez
Zacatecas. I had had a hard time with their lineage and I'm sure he's not the
first to find out who his actual birth parents were, who married and had other
children after him..
not the answer you were looking for but just sharing.  I put them in  the
lineage of the home they were raised in with  a note saying they were expuesto.

On my wife's side of the family I experiened some of these same issues but after a lot of work I was able to put the pieces together. This was a lomeli/de la cruz line from Jalos the children and parent used these two surnames at different times in their lives until the next generation just used one or the other.

I request input/thoughts from Nuestros Ranchos members, as this can't be an
unique situation within a group of over five hundred members researching
hundreds of years back in time.
  I'm interested in hearing from as many members as possible as to how
experienced genalogists within and without our group handle a similar
situation.  Modern adoptive parents consider their adoptees to be no
different from biological offspring. 

Therefore, what is the protocol?  Do genalogists today proceed up the adoptive
parents' family trees and consider it the adoptees' background? 

If adoptive parents were named as adoptive parents in old informacion
matrimonials, do you stop there, or continue with the adoptive parents' family
line as yours?
My thoughts are that long ago, if a couple adopted and considered the
child their own, they probably never told the child that he/she was adopted, and
they and we continue in ignorant bliss. 

I'm slowly resigning myself to the conclusion that this is a dead end.  It would
be extremely difficult concluding who Miguel Anaya Villagran's  parents were as
there were very many Anaya/Analla's in the area in the early 1700's, and more
children born to padres no conocidos than I would have thought for the time and
place. 

Thanks again for all who were kind and thoughtful enough to respond and I look

Alice,
I've seen examples of certain priests to refer to 'huerfano' or 'huerfana',
instead of 'padres no conocidos', when when the respective groom or bride belong
to a well to do family. My interpretation is that it woud be a way of hidding
what the community at the time would perceive as somewhat obscure and perhaps

It's cases like these that make genalogy interesting and sometimes frustrating. 
As of today I have found 12 children that I can attribute to Miguel de Anaya Villagran (my huerfano) and Angela Alcantara Navarrete.  The childrens' surnames  vary widely:  Anaya, Anaya Villagran, Anaya Alcantara, Villagran Alcantara, and Anaya Navarrete.  It's been my experience that the child's surname is rarely attached to the given name on the actual baptismal entries, therefore I'm assuming the surname variations are deliberate choices on the part of either the parents, the child, or the person transcribing the information from the original baptismal entry. 
With so many children I can only hope that at least one entry will contain paternal grandparents, even though entries from the early 1700's don't seem to have them.
Thanks so much for all of the group's input.  I find something is revealed and worthy of consideration each time.   Thanks again,  Alice Blake

Alice,

Don't discard the dispensas. Some of those children might have had to obtain
a dispensa and an investigation might have had to be made into their
ancestry. another thing you might want to keep in mind is who are the
witnesses to the marriages, padrinos, madrinas, etc. these might be
brothers, sisters, cousins, etc. Pay particular attention to the sure names
in their marriages or the marriages of their children there might be
indications as to who the parents/gparents were. Often brothers are
witnesses to other brothers and sisters marriages and christenings, etc. It
goes both ways, don't just look at your direct ancestors records he or she
might have additional information about them on a relatives record. If he is
a witness to a marriage you might find additional information as to the
relationship between the groom or bride and himself or herself.

Another avenue you might want to pursue is water rights often and the buying
and mortgaging of those rights. Very often it is indicated from whom they
got those rights from, (father, mother, grand father, etc.). As has been
indicated to you there is also Notary records for inheritances. Look into
anyone who is giving him something or his children something. Ask yourself
why and find the answer. Find out if any of the 12 children became clergy.
Often this was the case in large families (because there was not enough
money to go around or they wanted to maintain maintain their wealth by
giving lands to the church but placing it in the name of the son). Sometimes
clergy had to submit genealogies at the time they entered certain orders.

There is a lot of places to look. Don't give up hope, it is just a little
bit more difficult to find the answers. It's just a matter of how deep you
want to look. You might never find out who his parents were but then again
with a little bit of persevering you just might. Another thing you will have
to ask yourself is, " should I lay this line aside for a little bit and work
on something else for the time being that might be more productive". At some
point you will need to do the hard stuff just so that you can cross it off
of your list. Who knows someone else just might do it for you (not likely).
Good luck!!!

Eduardo,
Great advice.  Since I last posted I was determined to find the baptismal entries of all 12 of Miguel Anaya Villagran and Angela Alcantara Navarette's children and as I feared, no grandparents are named on any.  I did notice that the surnames Anaya and Villagran appear VERY frequently in Huichapan, Hidalgo 1700's, but independantly of each other.  Then  I notice a Manuel Anaya Villagran and Antonia Lugarda Ruiz Hidalgo appear having children at the same time and pretty much with the same given names and padrinos.   I look up their informacional matrimonal and Manuel Anaya Villagran also identifies himself as "huerfano"!  They must be brothers and related to other Anaya's and Villagran's in Huichapan. 
Spanish is not my first language, but I do quite well until I get to long drawn documents.  Unfortunately for research, the Huichapan informacion matrimonials of 1718 and 1719 are very skimpy--less than a page, no padrinos, no testigos, no ages of the couple (unless I'm reading them incorrectly).
Finding a brother must be good news.  Should I arrive at any conclusions?  They both appeared to have remained and raised families in Huichapan.
I truly appreciate when group members bother to offer input.  It helps so much both for methodology and encouragement of spirit.  Thanks again,  Alice Blake

Eduardo, thanks so much for the excellent points you make and the additional research suggestions.

I'm stuck with MELCHORA CASILLAS, who was "hija exposita en casa de ALONSO PEREZ FRANCO" and given the surname CASILLAS after Alonso's wife, JUANA CASILLAS.

I know several members here descend from Melchora and her husband MANUEL CORNEJO RIOJANO, and I'm wondering if any descendant has uncovered her biological parents.

Any clues? Ideas? Hunches? Suspicions?

I also descend from her. I have not been able to find her biological parents but suspect her father was possibly a brother of Juana.

I had one experience where a father died and his widow sent her children to live with others not related as far as I can tell. I tracked them through census records, then found that later one young man started using his adoptive father's surname. Down through the generations, people thought he was a son of this man. Only when one of my cousins requested his original marriage certificate did he discover the son's real surname.

When people went to get married, they had to prove they had been baptized in the Catholic faith, so that is probably when the son had to reveal his real surname. The record states his real name and mentions he was an adoptee. So generations have gone by that never knew the real story. The descendants living now were surprised, but they continue to use the surname that the son adopted.

Other "sons" got around this by saying they did not know (maybe they never really knew) who their parents were, and then were probably cleared for the marriage as long as everything else was in order for the marriage to proceed.

If you find out that someone was adopted, I don't continue the adoptive line as theirs. It ends there. But I do follow up the adoptive parents lines, just so they the background of those who adopted them.

Mercedes:

I am sure that a trip to Jalpa would be a great learning experience but as many members will tell you, going to the locality is not necessarily the best way to do genealogical research.

For one, the best genealogical records in Mexico are church records and many priests are very reticent about letting people look at them especially for broad research. Many civil records have been lost or are very disorganized in the towns as well and often the state capitals are the only places where you can find records.

That being said, the Family History Library has films for Jalpa that should probably be where you should begin your search. Just go to http://www.familysearch.org and look up the nearest family history center to you where you can go and order and view the films.

Well your German ancestry might be connected with the Mennonites that

I got DNA tested with National Geographic's Genographic Project and their partnerns fom FamilyTreeDNA.With these companies, if you are planning on taking both Y-DNA (male ancestry) and mtDNA (female ancestry) tests, it may be a little cheaper if a male gets Y-DNA tested and then they use the same sample for the mtDNA test.

Hi Mercedes - I also had my Y-DNA test and Mitochrondial test completed through Family Tree DNA. They are pretty reputable. I did the Mitochrondial test a couple of years ago and the Y-DNA 6 months ago. My brother's DNA was submitted and his Haplogroup is R1b1. I submitted the Mitochrondial and it was Haplogroup A. I didn't know that if you submit the male line you can get both Haplogroups.

Hi Yolanda, I'm a match as far as haplogroup results go.. these are my numbers, will you share yours?
My mtdna goes back to Michoacan before 1800 and my fathers dna goes to Zacatecas back to 1750. I also used the same lab you did and was very satisfied with them and love the Mexico DNA site Gary Felix has set up so I submitted my results with them. Like you I didn't know at the time my brother could do both so I also did them separately... live and learn!

Hello, my name is Mercedes Chavez Romero and I am attempting to work on my
family tree. I always wanted to do this and I think the time has come to get
serious about it. My family is originally from Jalpa, Zacatecas. I have the
names of up to my great grandparents. I have obtained some information on the
town itself by going to various websites. I intend to go to Jalpa sometime this
year to confirm and obtain more information on my ancestry, as well as,
obtain some history on the town itself. I am also interested in the DNA testing
but am not sure exactly what company to order the kit from. Any information
anyone has on Chavez Romero Salazar Arechiga last names or a reputable DNA
testing company would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mercedes Chavez

Hi Erlinda - I am a member of Gary Felix's DNA Surname Project. Here is the link which shows my brother Richard's Y-DNA results. I must confess that I haven't had much time to spend figuring out some of the data results. This is interesting though --- my father's lines go back to Chihuahua 1745. I remember him telling us when were little that his father told him that we were dark Irish. I use to laugh and tell him "surrre...dad...". Well -- I went on a Genealogy trip last year to meet my grandfather's brother's family who first setteled in Alamogordo New Mexico in the late 1800's, 1900's. I left my Ochoa family genealogy research with them and they forwarded my research and old photos to many Ochoa relatives I'd never met before.
A few weeks after my visit, I started getting email and phone calls from many distant Ochoa relatives from Arizona, Texas and New Mexico and they also heard from my grandfather's brother that they were Irish and German! I was shocked to hear this story because none of us ever knew each other growing up. If you check out my Y-Dna data on Gary Felix's site, it shows that we may have German background.

http://members.tripod.com/~GaryFelix/index63.htm
After my visit with the folks in Alamogordo, I heard stories about some folks dances that my grandfather and his brother's family use to do. That's another interesting story.

Anyway - check my stuff out on Gary Felix's website. I joined the project around 6 years ago I think and then did some more DNA refinment for the 37 marker test?? something like that. Fun stuff,
Yolanda

Hi Yolanda, I'm a match as far as haplogroup results go.. these are my numbers, will you share yours?
My mtdna goes back to Michoacan before 1800 and my fathers dna goes to Zacatecas back to 1750. I also used the same lab you did and was very satisfied with them and love the Mexico DNA site Gary Felix has set up so I submitted my results with them. Like you I didn't know at the time my brother could do both so I also did them separately... live and learn!

Yolanda, thank you and I will check out your brothers listing on the Gary Felix site.

Like you we discounted the stories my Grandpa Epitacio Castanon told abt his ancestors coming from Germany! Also like you the numbers for our dna suggest Gemany as a real possibility.. I owe Grandpa Castanon an apology for laughing at his stories and could kick myself for not listening with respect.... live and learn.. I wonder if my gr-grandkids will shake their heads at the stories I'm going to tell them!

thanks again, Linda in Everett

Linda,

with interest i read the names in your letter, including Chavez and Arechiga.

My interest is in San Matias, Pinos, Zacatecas, and am particularly interested in the Delgado families. Both of the above names figure in the tree that i have.

I can send you more concrete information if you are interested.

HIJO DE LA IGLESIA

I discovered a bautismo for a child, identified as "Espanol", with the designation "hijo de la iglesia". What exactly does "hijo de la iglesia" signify?

Comments

Comment

Generalmente a los "niños expuestos" (que eran abandonados a las puertas de
un templo catolico), eran criados por la iglesia, y al bautisarlos se
asentaba que eran "hijos de la iglesia" o "expuesto", algunas de las veces
se les ponia el apellido "De La Cruz" o "De Dios".

nota: tambien a los indios conversos al catoliciscmo los bautisaban con el
apellido "de la cruz" o " de dios"

Does not necessarily mean a priesthood holder had to be the father. It could
simply mean the child was raised by the church. Often times when they
would be abandoned or leave care of the church. Although every now and then
it was common for church leaders to have children out of wedlock like the case
with Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla.

Daniel Méndez Camino

Comment

It means that the child was the child of a Catholic priesthood holder, in those times you will see there are many kids who have that designation (Hijo de la iglesia.)

Joseph, Esther:

I was just using the Cubas dictionary yesterday and the link worked fine. I tried a couple of the Colegio de Mexico server URLs and most of them did not bring up a page. They must be having server problems.

When the page comes back up, we can consider mirroring the dictionary on our site. Their setup is pretty good in terms of having the index with hyperlinks to the corresponding page image, etc. If we can get them to share the HTML and JPEG files that would be ideal. Otherwise, someone will have to manually steal the code from their site.

Comment

Thanks Arturo.

I love that dictionary and when it goes down I think that one day it
won't come back. If there is an easy way I'd love to host the site
(mirror as you said) as a back up on the nuestrosranchos.org site so
there will be a kind of back up. I guess we'll have to contact them for
permission.

thanks again,

joseph

I've noticed that the site hasn't worked for weeks now, and I'm not sure why. The best I can offer is this link on Google Books: http://tinyurl.com/3rgomg2 . This link is for the first volume only. It does allow you to download the volume in a (very large) .pdf file.

I hope the site comes back soon!

what does "complete" mean? I've looked for Jalpa in the Zacatecas page but isn't listed as a separate municipality, nor is it found in some of the neighboring areas. I didn't find other cities like Tlaltenango as well, which makes me wonder there is still information to be loaded. Or if all that's available has been loaded, then there are places with missing records. I also did a search for Jalpa and didn't find it at all.

It's a shame if this turns out to be the case.

Arturo Gonzalez

Comment

Remember although complete records are always missing. Due to fire, natural disaster,
war and many records that were never microfilm. The church only microfilmed the
places (for the census) that were in the Archivo General de la Nacion. More than
likely these places are not stored in the AGN in Mexico City.

Daniel Méndez Camino

Comment

I did some searching to try to find out how complete the 1930 census is, while there is a book by Lyman Pratt on Latin American census records in general (including Mexico), I found nothing specific.

The microfilms that were indexed and available online are copies of the records in the Archivo General de la Nación in Mexico City.

The 1930 Census is described as the "most complete" census of Mexico, nothing I found has any information on how complete it it.

I looked in the Family History Library catalog for census records. There is no one search that will give you a list of all the microfilm numbers for this specific set of records. You need to search by locality (municipality, not state), which I did for the areas you mentioned, and there apparently are no films.

I took a look at the online films, as they are divided by state, municipality, and then town. I went though all the municipalities and town listed for Zacatecas, Tlaltenango and Jalpa are not there.

From what I can see; the census records for these areas are not in the FHL, and may not exist (perhaps someone could verify this with the AGN).

It is unfortunate when records no longer exist; it is a loss for all of us. A classic case is the 1890 US Census. Virtually all of the census was destroyed in a 1921 fire in the Commerce Department building in Washington, DC. What is left is a very small fragment.

Knowing how fragile paper records are, I continue to be amazed at the wealth of material that is available from the Mexican Catholic Church records.

I have many Araiza and Ladron de Guevara in the South of Jalisco that
married with the main lastnames of my study.
But most of them I find in the 1800s.
The oldest person I have is Laureana ARAIZA maried to Miguel M Espinosa de
los Monteros and Ricardo Ladron de Guevara late 1800's in our about Autlan.
One of my elders told me that the original last name is:

Araizá y no Araiza

Hope we can find out how they arrived to the South of Jalisco.

Comment

Sólo una nota tengo que los patriarchas del linaje “Araíza y Medina” eran Juan de Araíza y Medina; y su mujer María de Isla también conocida como María Lozano hija del regidor de Zacatecas. Juan era hijo de Hernando o Fernando de Araíza y Medina; y María de Guzmán. Pienso si no me confundo éstos últimos eran vecinos de Zacatecas. Tengo notado que Juan y María tuvieron por lo menos 11 hijos en total durante su matrimonio que seguro se afectuó en Zacatecas lástima que se quemaron esos archivos.

Daniel Méndez Camino

Comment

Hola Daniel:

Encuentro tu información de mucha ayuda, seguramente mi ancestro desciende de los Araiza y Medina que tu mencionas. Encontré por ahí en un tema de foro de nuestrosranchos los nombres de los 11 hijos de Juan de Araiza y Medina y de María Lozano, entre ellos se mencionan los cónyuges de algunos de ellos. Entre los 11 hijos, figura uno llamado Juan, del cual no hay más datos, quizás por los años en los que se habla puede tratarse del mismo Juan de Araiza y Medina, originario de Aguascalientes que yo busco.

termino AMP en Fe de Bautismo

Hola a todos, investigando en los microfilms de familisearch de Jalisco, encuentro en las de de Bautismo muy constantemnente el termino AMP.

Comments

Comment

Hola Mario,

Me llamó la atención tu interrogante sobre las iniciales AMP, la verdad es que no las había visto en otros libros y no me sonaba a nada. Fui a ver los libros de 1930 y vi que todas (las que yo revisé) después del nombre del bautizado se agrega el adjetivo "Americano" (Puedes revisar el libro de 1930 y lo verás). En la partida de Eligio y las que están antes y después de la de él de 1832 se agregan las iniciales Am y un signo que no es una p (creo yo) sino una "o" final que se pone por encima, como en otras abreviaturas como lmo (legítimo),Pvo (párvulo), etc. Así que lo que creo que pueda significar es "Americano".

Consumada la independencia en 1921, he notado que se comenzaron a eliminar en las actas eclesiásticas los adjetivos, indio, español, coyote, lobo, etc. que indicaban la raza del individuo y el título de Don se cambió por el de ciudadano, pero nunca había visto que se asentara el término "americano" como aquí en todas las partidas sin querer significar, como es obvio por el contexto, norteamericano o de EEUU. Los nombres de los padres son todos castellanos.

Conclusión creo que el término correcto correspondiente a la avrebiatura es "americano" y el significado es un espíritu de igualdad entre los miembros de la parroquia. Quizá alguien pueda ilustrarnos más del por qué se asentaba este adjetivo a los niños en esa época concreta.

Buena suerte en tu investigación

Hola a todos

La primera vez que había encontrado el termino Americano en los registros
fue en el bautismo de un ancestro mio de 1828 en Lagos de Moreno. Para saber
porque necesitamos entender un poco de la historia de America. Cuando
Cristóbal Colón viajó al Nuevo Mundo el pensaba que iba a llegar a India y
que iba a ser como lo mencionó Marco Polo. Los europeos se dieron cuenta que
no era India sino otro continente y un cartógrafo alemán llamado Martín
Waldseemüller decidió ponerle America en 1507 por creer erróneamente que
Américo Vespucio había sido en primer europeo de estar al mando de los naves
en el continente. En esa época pensaban que era un solo continente y no tres
como entendemos ahora. Gracias al desarrollo de la imprenta, las
denominaciones de Waldseemüller se divulgaron rápidamente en los círculos
científicos de Europa. Los EEUU en su declaración de independencia decidió
llamarse los estados unidos de America, o sea los estados que están unidos
en el continente de America. Esos estados eran una sola pequeña parte del
continente Americano pero con el tiempo la enorme influencia de los EEUU en
el mundo ha contribuido prácticamente a monopolizar el gentilicio para sí. A
raíz de que sus tierras habían conformado la base de la
*
*América británica, la falta de un nombre propio generó el uso del nombre *
"America"* para referirse a este país, hecho respaldado por el gentilicio *
"American"*. Cuando México se independizó de España en 1821 y dejaron de
usar las "calidades" de coyote, lobo, etc optaron por usar "americano" como
calidad por ser gente nacida en America en el termino original de los
continentes de America o las Americas. Acuerdense que EEUU en 1830 era mucho
mas pequeño y el mundo hispano no necesariamente usaba el termino americano
para los que eran de EEUU. Además México esta situado en NorteAmerica o
America del Norte entonces hasta decir norteamericano técnicamente esta uno
incluyendo a los mexicanos y los canadienses. En cuanto a los términos Don y
Doña todavía se usaron en 1939 en Lagos de Moreno. Tal vez dejaron de
usarlos por una temporada pero nunca por completo.

Pues con todas estas explicaciones me queda bastante claro el
significado e AMP que realmente es AMº
y me apaciona el echo de que una simple pregunta sobre historia familiar
implica una respuesta de la historia de
una nacion.

De antemano gracias a todos por su ayuda.

Hola,

No creo que diga AMP sino Amº, es la abreviatura de Americano. En la´época de la colonia solían poner la casta a la que pertenecía la persona: español, mestizo, mulato, indio, etc. Después de la independencia en vez de poner la casta ponían "Americano/a", ver los bautismos de Santa María de los Lagos 1828-1832, viene en prácticamente todos.

En el rollo que sigue de Bautismos 1832-1835 en vez de poner la palabra completa, la abreviaban como "Amº / Amª", y hacia 1834 en vez de poner Americano/a ponían Mexicano/a, abreviado como mexº/mexª.
Saludos cordiales,

Where are images for Nochistlan Marriages 1628-1633?

Hi all!
Does anyone know where I can find images for the records in Nochistlan, marriages between 1628 and 1633? They seem to be out of order at Familysearch.

I found your records! But before I tell you where, here's what I did.

I looked up your people in the old Family Search, and it said they were on film 226724 (batch M606255). When I opened the film for 1627-86, I noted that it had the film number 226724, so it should be the right film. It started at the right time, but your people aren't at the beginning.

I then looked at the first film of baptisms (as these are sometimes together with the early marriages). The film had a different FHL number. So they shouldn't be there. I then looked at the next film of marriages; it also had a different FHL number, so they couldn't be there, and had to be on the marriages film for 1627-86.

The beginning of the film did not have page numbers, so it is not ibvious that pages are missing, but the data were sequential, so that is unlikely.

I scanned through the film, and discovered it is at least two volumes (volume 2 starts at image 181). The beginning date was earlier than the ending date of the prior volume.

I also noticed that the marriages at the beginning of the film seem to be indians and not Spanish.

This suggested to me that there is likely a separate set of records for the Spanish. The only option then was to scan through the film (I jumped 20-25 pages at a time). Or you can go through page by page; not fun, but it is methodical.

Image 141 has 1669 marriages (left side), and blank on the right side.

At image 142 I found don Rodrigo de Carabajal de Ulloa and dona Juana de Lomelin, 12 Sep 1628.

At image 143 (left side) is Bernardino and Mariana and (right side) Juan and Jacinta.

I have seen records out of sequence before. Its a nuisance, but you may sometimes have to scan through the whole film. Ocassionally if a film has both the main parish and adjunct chapels, the records for the chapels will be at the end of a month, after the main parish. Or, they may be elsewhere. Sometimes pages are simply out of sequence.
