Help with Tia's Genealogy

I've done no research in this area and was wondering if possibly someone
in the group might recognize some of these names:

Descendants of Estanislado Marquez

Generation No. 1

1. ESTANISLADO1 MARQUEZ died Bet. 1960 - 1964 in Santa Paula, CA. He
married TEODORA JIMENEZ, daughter of SRA. MARQUEZ. She was born in
maybe El Valle de Guadalupe, Jalisco, Mexico, and died January 1945 in
Santa Paula, CA.

Child of ESTANISLADO MARQUEZ and TEODORA JIMENEZ is:
i. MATEO2 MARQUEZ, b. 21 September 1898, Ajiji, Jalisco, Mexico;
d. 15 November 1966, Santa Paula, CA; m. JUANA GARCIA; b. 22 October
1905, Jaen, Jaen, Spain; d. 27 December 1997, Santa Paula, CA.

thanks for any ideas about this genealogy,

joseph

DNA Results

On Friday, I received the DNA results submitted by my brother to National Geographic. I must admit, I'm a bit disappointed.

I have been following the extraordinary PBS/National Geographic documentary on the DNA research of Spencer Wells, his theory is the world has evolved out of Africa.

As per my report:
The results were Haplogroup R1b1c
The genetic markers that define your ancestral history reach back about 60,00 years of non-African men.

Then the trail ends in Western Europe. I suppose I was hoping the end of the trail would be more specific as Western Europe is such a large area. The report also states "Today, roughly 70 percent of the men in southern England belong to haplogroup R1b. In parts of Spain and Ireland, that number exceeds 90 percent.

I was planning on having my own DNA tested by National Geographic, but now I'm not so sure, if the results are going to be the same, out of Africa, then to Western Europe.

Yesterday, on the Semos Primos site, I read a fantastic story written by Larry Garza. I was intrigued by his findings and sent him an e-mail. Below is the response from Mr. Garza. I have checked out the site he used, and it appears to me more of what I'm looking to achieve.

Dear Helyn,
Thank you for your comments. We had comprehensive DNA testing done through DNA Consultants, Dr. Donald Yates. I chose them because they give a comprehensive analysis with wonderful historical explanation, from my research the best available. You can contact Dr. Donald Yates at www.dnaconsultants.com and look at the various testings they do. Tell him I sent you.
Larry Garza

Well, at least now I have another option.

New researcher in Mexico

Hi

I am new to the group although I have been doing research for many years. I have been successful with my mothers European ancestry search, but I had no idea how to begin research for my family in Mexico. ( I do not speak Spanish as my father believed we should only speak English)

My grandfather was Salvador Bernal born in Zaceteca Mexico in 1905. His mother (Antonia Cano b1881 in Mexico) brought him and his brother and sister to California, shortly after his birth. His father was Cresencio Bernal and there are many stories about him being a train robber. Antonia Cano's parents were Felipe Cano and Tirburcia Martinez. There is also references to the family having some French heritage through this line.
I do not have any other information on the family. I would appreciate any help as I have no idea where to start looking.

geneology and the bible

...and I contend that their is no discord between science or the
bible...simply gaps we don't understand....as in genealogy...only educated guesses when
one comes to a dead end of recorded history (and I do underscore HIStory).

Population of La Barca, Jalisco

What were the population estimates for La Barca, Jalisco in the 1800's, or for the state of Jalisco. I am interested to know how the population explosion of the past 30 years has led to such a lot of different people from other parts of the country. If anybody has any information on Adeleida Lopez Camarena born in La Barca, Jalisco in 1856 please let me know.I also am lloking for the line that include Rosa Garcia and Juan Lopes.

Sagrada Mitra de Guadalajara

To all those interested in a book of marriage dispensations from
Guadalajara, there is another book called "Index to the Marriage
Investigations of the Diocese of Guadalajara, 1653 - 1750" by Raul Guerra,
Nadine Vazquez and Baldomera Vela Jr., Edinburg, Texas 1989, Library of
Congress catalog card number: 90-93092.

This book is also out of print. I believe it is written in English, but I
don't have a copy. Does anyone out there have one?

Ordering copies of documents through Salt Lake City

Due to the slow turn around time at Salt Lake for ordering microfilm. I have started to order the documents I need. It takes about 2 weeks to get the copies. I ordered 3 microfilmed rolls and now it's been over 2 months. They are running very far behind....I had heard about 6 months behind.
I first check familysearch.org and obtain the necessary information on the person I want the document on and use form: "Request for Photocopies-Census Records, Books, Microfilm, or Microfiche"

The form can be downloaded from: http://www.ldscatalog.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?cat…

The item # is: 31768000

Hope this information is helpful for those who are new or those like me who are inpatient. I still would like to see the film....but I get antsy.

Happy New Month

Ordering Microfilm & Slow turn around

Why is this taking so long? I also am awaiting a Roll of Microfilm, and
it is so far 2 months... Thank you Rose for informing us of this option.
I also like looking at the WHOLE film.

Microfilm ordering delays

Yes, people at my family history center have been waiting very long, months
at a time, for films to arrive. But, I hesitate ordering more, because the
last time I did so, they all arrived the same week! In April, I got one I
had ordered back in October, one from December, one from February, and one
just a week before that. Very unpredictable. Yet, I get impatient, too,
and did it again. I have five films I am waiting on now, two on back order
for the past month and a half.
I was told that Salt Lake is not making copies of the films like they were
before, so we are waiting on those copies that are in circulation to be
returned first before the next person can get it, like a public library
system. Still, I can't complain. I am very grateful for the family history
center being available to the public and I just love all the people there.
Someday, it will all be digitized, I have heard. So, in the mean time, I
use my waiting time getting caught up on other things like internet
research, compiling photographs, writing biographies, etc., things that I
don't have time for once the films arrive.
I thank-you, Rose, for letting us know about the other way of obtaining
copies of documents.

Los Poderosos Mendoza

Hola a Todos compañeros del Foro:

Navegando por internet me encontre una pagina que

de los Mendoza, que creo llego a esta la "Nueva España"
y se diseminaron ramas por todo Mexico.

Exploring the Early Americas

7. [Macromedia Flash Player]
http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/earlyamericas/

When thinking about the early Americas, it's hard not to consider the
stellar materials that make up the Jay I. Kislak Collection at the Library
of Congress. Kislak amassed thousands of items related to early Florida, the
Caribbean, and Mesoamerica, and subsequently donated over 3,000 of these
items to the Library. This online exhibition affords interested parties a
taste of these materials organized into three sections: "Pre-Contact
America", "Explorations and Encounters", and "Aftermath of the Encounter".
Within each section, visitors can read a brief introductory essay and then
dive right into the artifacts and documents presented therein. One
delightful section that should not be missed is the "Urban Landscapes"
section within "Pre-Contact America". Here visitors can wonder over
miniature village scenes from West Mexico and views of Tenochtitlán and
Cusco from 1572. That's far from all, as the site also has three
"Interactive" presentations. They cover the famed Waldseemüller Maps of 1507
and 1516 and a complete digitized version of Alexander Exquemelin's rousing
1678 work, "The Buccaneers of America". [KMG]

MICHEL: Pio MICHEL, more information

For Felipe and anyone else researching the very tangled web of the much intermarried MICHEL family, here are two more children of Don Pio MICHEL Avila and his wife doña Gabriela:

Rafael MICHEL born about 1855, I haven't found his baptism.
From #655614, Marriage Information, Autlan:
Rafael MICHEL, hijo legitimo de Don Pio MICHEL y Da. Gabriela BECERRA,
con Da. Josefa GONZALEZ, hl de Don Vicente GONZALEZ y Da. Juana MICHEL, ella difunta. In the IGI marriage for Rafael her name is written CONZALEZ.

Also - Maria MICHEL, born about 1861.
From #211994, Civil Marriages, Autlan, 14 May 1876
Zacarias SANTOS, no indigena, 18, soltero, labrador de Ahuacapan; hl de Jose SANTOS y Mauricia VIDRIO, ya finados. Con Da. María MICHEL, no indígena, 15, soltera, hl de Don Pio MICHEL y Gabriela BECERRA que viven.
TESTIGOS: Leocadio RAMIREZ, 39, talabartero [saddler or harness maker]
Ascención RUELAS, 25, zapatero
Porfirio MICHEL, 28, propietario
Felix LISOLA, 35, Jornalero

In 1873 Don Pio MICHEL's occupation was labrador. He was a witness to the second marriage of his cousin Ramon Mariano MICHEL Corona, 70, to Da. Leandra LOPEZ Gutierres, 71. Ramon Mariano's first wife was Da. Jesus ARIAS.

Hope this helps.

Can Someone Help Me Out?

Hi. My name is Irene Garcia Sandoval, and I joined NR about 3 months ago.

Due to family demands, I have not been as active as I intended to be, and have not been able to spend time at the NR website for a while. Last week I has some time and tried to log on and bring myself up-to-date, but could not get in. I've tried every possible password I could think of, but I must have used a very special one and now I can't remember it! I have sent off at least a couple of requests for help from the website, but have not gotten any response. If this is not the right place to try to get help, can someone out there let me know what I have to do to either get my password back or get a different one? Any help I can get will be deeply appreciated. MUCHAS GRACIAS.
