Dear Campezina, Thank you so much for this information. It's what I was beginning to suspect, but couldn't confirm without the help of other members. I must also be the only one researching Aguas, Aguas that has ever tried accessing the Aguas, Aguas 1930 census, since no one had noticed the capital city missing from the listing! Thanks again, Alice BB

AliceBB,

The reason why you do not see the 1930 Census for Aguas is because the census has not been scanned yet. If I remember correctly, I think that is presumed to be lost.

Hi Corrine/Corinne
Good question with as many answers as there are people keeping records. As for myself I had to standardize a surname but always include the original resource record so others can see there was a different spelling. Like you I use Rootsweb.com because you can get a pedrigree chart there with easy access and an index so others can check for other spellings. I know there must be errors since I have many surnames like Luera/Loera, Morillo/Murillo, Viramontes/Miramontes, Zuniga/Sungia, Zepeda/Sepeda, and as for S and Z being interchangeable I went with whatever that family seemed to be using in the later 1800's since things were very different in the 1500, 1600 and 1700's since few could read and write and scribes did what they thought was best. Also, the matter of people using surnames of their grandparents or mothers making them even harder to find.
We can never satisfy everyone else so we need to do what works best for us to make the records readable, traceable and easy to share. People can always contact us directly if they have questions or can make a correction.

Just my two cents worth, Linda in Everett

To all the intrepid researchers at Nuestros Ranchos:

In searching through microfilm records, as I copy down the entries I find on
my ancestors and "might be related" persons, I strive to make these records
as accurate as possible. However, as has been discussed in this forum in
the past, spelling of names, illegible penmanship, phonetic spelling, etc.
can make accuracy sometimes a hit and miss guessing game. Which could
result in inaccurate documentation. It is so tempting to just figure, based
on other entries, that one person in one entry is the same as another person
in another entry. For example, sometimes they spell a surname "Vanda,"
sometimes "Banda." Should I record it the way they spell it in each of the
entries, or should I "correct" them by standardizing the name myself, by
documenting what I think they meant everytime?

I realize I could get myself into a sticky situation. One reason is, that
"Vanda" could be a name different from "Banda" and the persons in each
entry, therefore, different people, no matter how similar everyone else in
these entries appear. My mistake would be to assume Jose Vanda married to
Maria Sanchez and Jose Banda married to Maria Sanches are the same people.
Some people, even today, spell their surnames ending in "s" or "z", as in
Gonzalez and Chavez. In one entry a Gregorio Peres, married to a Maria
Chavez, then becomes Gregorio Perez and Maria Chaves in another entry!
Changing it in my documentation, to all end in "z" or "s", could mean
recording it incorrectly for how they might have spelled their own names!
As you can see, and I'm sure many of you have discovered, this is one of the
challenges of reading handwritten records.

Some names are so illegible, I write down the name the best I can and place
a question mark after it. For example, "Peisnlar?" In other entries, all
the names are the same as in this one, but the person's last name is very
clearly "Pinuelas." Should I change "Peisnlar" to "Pinuelas," because I
think that's probably what was written, however illegible? Or, should I not
take any chances by guessing what it probably says in the record? I look
over how the recordkeeper wrote their letters, to aid in my reading their
penmanship, but sometimes there is just one name that stumps me and I put a
question mark after it, to let myself know that I gave up.

What do you do to make your records as accurate as possible? How do you
pass this information on to others, even download databases of your records
onto forums, make your records available to family, etc., when there are
these questionable areas? I know how frustrating it is to try and find an
ancestor in a database, such as Ancestry.com, only to discover after long
searching hours and days, and weeks, and years, that the name was completely
massacred and nowhere resembles the true name of that person. When I look
for "Frias," I also look for "Freas," and "Frillas," etc. But, what if it
is entered as "Frian," or "Fias," or something like that? Will I ever find
it?

I guess we can only do what is humanly possible. No one is perfect and we
can not expect that. We can only be thankful and quite grateful that we
have information being shared in the first place and at such a huge volume,
all around the world. Which brings me to the reason for my dismay. I have
decided to download all my records onto rootsweb and find many of my
carefully kept records are dotted with question marks and notes in
parenthesis. I want to share this information, but I want to provide it as
accurately as I can.

Thank-you, all, for your help and words of wisdom!

Questions and thoughts from Santa Maria, California
>From Corrine Ardoin (I spell my first name inaccurately, because that was
how I was taught to spell it as a child, but I have since found from baptism
and birth records, my given name is "Corinne," which my father always
pointed out to me. But I never listened to him! So, to this day, I spell
even my own name incorrectly!)

Hi Sofía! I can help a bit on this subject. I've been told that priest had only started to list grandparents on baptisms ca. 1812. But not full affect until 1827 or so. It doesnt mean they were the first in México. The huge migration to México was in the 1500's. When Hernán Cortés conquered México. After 1821 the independence very few left ffrom Spain, since México was economically unstable.

TO view passenger list or atleast the info you can go to
http://pares.mcu.es

You can also order the microfilm for passanger lists. Usually its the same info as in the record on PARES. It's a wealth on info. I recently found out my mother's side of the family had a COat of Arms. Not those phonny ones you can buy on the interent, but an actually one given to us by King Charles V.And is there somewhere where I can search passenger lists of ships that arrived in Mexico? How to make the connection to Mexico and the country that they were originally from, Spain? There is a speculation that says all SPaniards are related because at least one line on every SPanish tree descends from D. Alfonso I, King of Asturias.
About the surnames. Martínez, Ramónez, Ramírez, Ruíz and Gómez, Muñóz are all patronímicos. Derived from the son of....like Martínez means the son of Martín. They usually changed every generation. but for some reason in ca. 1450 They ceased on creating new ones. So if José Fernández de Portugal. lets say. His ancestor who ignited his line of FErnandezes would have been Fernando de Portugal born ca. 1450. THey USUALLY go back to royalty based on my experience. one of my lines goes back to Fernando II "El Católico.

Note * not all -ez surnames are patronímicos.

Losano, Acosta, Aguílar, Peratra, Medina, Macías, Aráiza, Pacheco are all places, like cities.
Usually it was DE Losano or DE Medina.

Esparza came from Ruíz de Esparza, which is a huge family! Especially many rancho members including my self are related. Esparza is also a city in Pamplona, Spain, the Village of Esparza.

Davila was from De Avila. I guess it would have been d'Avila. Also a city in Castilla.

Zúñiga is also a city in Galicia, SPain.

Váldez is a city.

Not sure about Angel?
Maybe its connects to the church. Like Santa ANa.

De ANDA, is the another huge one. It is a apellido Alteña in Jalisco. It came origianlly in 1545 from Castilla. The original surname was Anda de Altamirano.

-Hope this helps!

I thought it was my computer giving me problems, thought maybe it wore out and I needed a new one. That very well may be, but it is good to know that it is an internet problem and not me. I do feel better about that. I have been very frustrated trying to get things to work and not having anything work out, especially when I tried to work on indexing and found I could not switch back and forth as needed.

I've noticed (because several of you have noticed) that the website is
experiencing some problems. Hang in there and hopefully things will sort
themselves out. Tomorrow is Sunday so go out and experience the mild
weather if you are on the East Coast and otherwise enjoy your day. Think
of our ancestors from so many generations past and how they might have
passed a day if they were having technical difficulties. I don't think
that my Great Grandmother Antonia Santa Maria (dob: 1862 in El Salitral,
Tepetongo, Zacatecas) could read but if she did needle work and somehow
her lantern wick or other part malfunctioned and she couldn't use it
maybe she would spend more time with one of her children possibly
telling stories by the woodstove fire. She might have told the story
about how an angel once helped her cross a raging river shortly after my
Grandmother (Virginia Diaz: dob: 1886, Las Animas, Santa Maria de Los
Angeles, Jalisco) was born after my GG grandmother Andrea Torres (dob:
1833, El Yngles, Santa Maria de Los Angeles, Jalisco, Mexico) was very
very hard on her making her life miserable enough to run away back to
the place of her parents: Lucio Santa Maria and Cecilia Espinoza (dob:
~1825 marriage: 1844 Tepetongo, Zacatecas, Mexico).

Or maybe my Grandmother Virginia Diaz would tell my father of the time
her husband my Grandfather, Julio Puente (dob: 1886, Las Animas, Santa
Maria de Los Angeles, Jalisco) was frozen motionless one night as he
walked home from a neighbors house in the night after he was sure a
mountain lion was roaming very close to him. Or the story of how my
Great Grandfather Jose Julio de Jesus Puentes (dob: 1852, Las Animas,
Santa Maria de Los Angeles, Jalisco) died right in front of my
Grandfather holding an iron bar digging a small path for the water to
run away from the house they were in during a severe
rain/thunder/lightening storm by being struck by lightening.

Just some thoughts.

At last! Someone who is looking for VIDAURRI!

Welcome, Gilbert, to Nuestros Ranchos.

My name is Veronica Vidaure Rahorn and I live in Gilbert, AZ. I believe that
you and I are related through this man:
Miguel VIDAURRI
Born 1806 in Rio Chico, Teocaltiche, Jalisco

Some time between 1806 and 1826, he moved to Paso de Sotos, JAL (now known
as Villa Hidalgo) and married a ggggreat aunt of mine. She died in 1836. A
few months later, he married my gggreat grandmother, but I think they had
already been having hanky panky because my gggreat grandfather Luis was born
before Miguel's first wife died. Lots of skeletons in this closet!

Anyway, I am waiting for my husband to get back on swing shift so I can
start spending more time at the local Mormon family history center. I plan
to work backwards from Miguel so I'll share my findings with you. I'd love
to figure out how Miguel and Chavelita are related. Do you have any
genealogy lines for her?

Some other questions: Did Chavelita come to Douglas with Celso? Where is Los
Osos, California?

Looking forward to sharing info with you!

Welcome to the Nuestros Ranchos family, How exciting to hear so many members are going to Mexico!

I thought I'd share what I found in my trip to Mexico about cemeteries. Most are locked and you will need someone to let you in. Another thing I found was many old grave markers were wood so they no longer exist and there were not always records of where each person was buried. I also discovered not many people go to graveyards unless they have to! My host's found it strange I wanted to just walk and read headstones in them. Another older custom I discovered it they buried up to 5 people in one grave, they would move the bones to the foot of the grave and bury the next person. I found a family grave of a child of 7 years of age and saw something sticking out of the dirt, I pulled and a leg bone came up in my hands.. Obviously it was not the child buried in 1967.. I said a prayer and reburied the bone. My host's could only shake their heads.

The truly strange thing was seeing the surnames of the people I had been researching back to the 1600's. I almost felt them thanking me for remembering them.. it was an experience I had never had before but will never forget.

Hi Linda!, its your primo Daniel. By the looks of this. Felipe Miranda is the declarante. Tomas Alvares is a 3rd cousin to Maria Mejia. Rafael Reveles is a third cousin nephew to Pedro. And Catarino is third cousin to Pedro Miranda. I do think Pedro and Maria Mejia were somewhat related since they both have two relatives of Reveles on both sides. SO that should state they some common anceestor. Ill look in the IGI and see what I can find! -Daniel Mendez del Camino

Evie, your Arch family is in Sayula, Cristobal Gaitan married in Tamazula 22 Sept 1882, #0226030 marriage record and I found a marriage record for Narciso Yglesias and Maria Trinidad Hernandez in Zapotiltic, 15 May 1878, #0225930 marriage record. Have you ordered these films from your family history center? If you did and they didn't give you the parents then I would suggest you order baptism film from the 2 or 3 following years after the marriages in Tamazula and Zapotiltic. They had children and with any luck you can find one of them there.. be patient and you will find them. Did you mean you couldn't find ancestors for them or decendents? I'm assuming you come from these lines?

Dear Pam, Alicia & Ray,
Thanks for the information on the Jauregui family - I had no idea that the family line might have started in Nochistlan. I have had the pleasure to visit with family in Teocaltiche and Jalostitlan over the past 21 years however I only started to crave information on the family history last year. Hopefully I will be making another trip in August 2008 and will seek out the leads you have given me.
I look forward to hearing more interesting facts and leads that you three or any other history seeker may lead me to.

Corrine,

It would be great if you could transcribe your Rivera, etc. information into a Word file or Excel file and upload it to Rootsweb.com, to share with the world, then you could send a link to that file to Arturo at Nuestros Ranchos and he could add the file for use by our group.

I transcribed an old Mesilla, New Mexico census for 1843 for Rootsweb for those who had ancestors originating there. I also transcribed the 1860 census for El Paso County, TX for Rootsweb.

Joseph also has a group site called "Ciudad Chihuahua" on Yahoo where he originally had the Nuestros Ranchos site. The Ciudad Chihuahua site is really for Paso del Norte which is now Juarez, El Paso Valley, and Southern New Mexico.

Hi,

Someone recently joined who is researching surnames I am also researching.
Their message was in Spanish, so I hope they get the gist of this message.

I wanted to reply to them that I am also researching the Rivera and Martin
del Campo surnames in Jalisco. I have lots of records from births,
baptisms, marriages, etc. from Guadalajara, primarily for the 1800's. My
file title on this site, Nuestros Ranchos, does not mention the surname
Rivera, but if you look under my name, Corrine Ardoin, you will find a
family tree that contains these ancestors. My mother's great-grandmother
was Rita Robles Rivera, born about 1851 in Guadalajara. Rita's parent's
were Emigdio Robles and Manuela Rivera. They were married February 5,
1843. Manuela's parents were Alejo Rivera and Dolores Mora. They resided in
Guadalajara and attended the Sanctuario de Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe
Church. Manuela lived to be over 100 and died in the early 1900's. Rita
died in 1935.

This has brought up something else. I have so much "might be related" data
accumulated. Is there some way to make this available to other members? I
get a microfilm, record every entry that has the surname I am researching,
then it just sits in a folder. I would like to be able to share the data
with others, so perhaps they might find info there they could use. Such as
the surname Rivera. I have a lot of records with that surname, because it
is of my ancestors. But all of these records contain many, many other
surnames. How can I make this available to other members? I asked the
family history center where I live about getting all of this on the IGI, but
they said it is done only by church members who have submitted their family
trees. How do the rest of us make our research available where it does not
coincide with our own family trees, but may be useful to others?

Pam,

I went to a wedding in Nochistlan in August of 2007. My first cousin who is also my God-daughter married into the Jauregui family of Nochistlan. I happened to meet and talk to a few of the Jauregui's and this family still has deep roots in this very old town, specifically in La Estancia of Nochistlan. Next time I go to Nochistlan it is my intention to visit La Estancia and gleen a bit more information. I don't know if it's fact or just lore but two of the Jauregui relations said that all the Jauregui's descend from one Jauregui. They say he was well to do back in his time and that as a result of his wealth and his prowess he had many children with many women in all of the surrounding regions and ranchos. Unfortunately I did not document any of this but they did invite me to come and visit again. I too have ancestors who were Jauregui.

My GG-grandmother was Maria Juana de Dios Jauregui married to Prudencio Olmos Esparza. They married on 14 January 1857 in Nochistlan Zacatecas.
She was the daughter of Hilario de Jauregui Robalcava and Maria Concepcion Olazaba from el Rancho de San Roque.
Hilario was the son of Vicente de Jauregui and Feliciana Robalcava also of el Rancho de San Roque which is in the municipio de Nochistlan.

I tried to tell them it was probably a different branch of Jaureguis because they came from a different rancho, but they proceeded to tell me that they had heard stories of their ancestor whom they claimed was the progenitor of most of the Jaureguis of that region. Again I repeat I don't have any documents that would substantiate this statment only oral stories.

Have you met with any relations from Nochistlan? or do you have many Jauregui family members in this area?

By the way, Nochistlan is only about 30 minutes from Teocaltiche Jalisco.

Hello Hector,

I noticed in your response to Linda that you have a lot of info on
Jerez. Would you please check your data to see if you have anyone
with the surnames "LIENDO" and/or "DE LA ROSA".......these are my
direct ancestors and the time frame would be around the late 1600s or
early 1700s in Zacatecas.......I am not certain exactly where in
Zacatecas they were from but I believe it could be near the city of
Zacatecas or the area near there.

Any info you may have will certainly be appreciated.......I have been
looking for them for a very long time! :-)

Hi, Eduardo:

I have some records from researching in microfilms that include people with the Alatorre surname. I will compile them and email those to you. I don't know how much of it will coincide with your research, but it might provide some useful information.

I also have the marriage record for Isabel and Isaac from parish records. I will try to email that to you, also.

Alice good luck in your trip to the land of your ancestors. Go with an open mind and first and foremost enjoy walking the land they did.

I went to Mexico for the first time in 2003 hoping to find records at the church's and civil halls. I went to Jerez Zacatecas, Zapotlan El Grande/Ciudad Gusman, Zapotiltic and Tamazula Jalisco searching for my family records and we also went to El Limon Jalisco searching for records for another family member. We flew into Guadalajara and traveled by bus to all our destinations, wonderful bus system that is very safe and comfortable.

I did not know if I had any family still there since my father was the last of my family to go in 1936 except for my grandmother who went every 3 years until 1950 or so. To my surprise I did have family from my grandmothers side and they all knew I was coming from word of mouth from the relatives of one of my traveling companions. I did not know about the local customs or what was considered good manners in Mexico. I found what I wanted to go do and see was not what they had in mind for me. The records I searched for were not available even though I had seen them at the family history center in Everett Wa. Most places did not have copy machines and I was not allowed to touch the books. They were overworked and understaffed. What records I did find were not copies of the originals but form letters with dates and names written by the clerk. My hosts did not want to go to the cemetery, did not understand my genealogy quest and did their best to make me feel like I was
truly welcomed "back home." I found phone service very poor and in El Durazno, Jerez Zacatecas there was only 2 or 3 phones in the entire rancho of abt 200 homes. Service was iffy so they shared and made appointments for phone use. Computer service was not good either. In Guadalajara even the phone service was not what we expect stateside. I was also surprised how few places accepted credit cards unless you were in large cities. We went to Manzanillo Colima, a tourist destination and found most shops only take cash. If you take a cab be sure to settle on the price before getting into the cab.

Would I do it again? ABSOLUTELY!! I meet wonderful people with stories of my family that I would never have known otherwise. I walked the same ground that some of my ancestors had walked since the 1600's, family left during the revolution in 1916. I learned to be proud and humbled by what I saw and heard. I spent 30 days in Mexico with the 10 days in Guadalajara staying with relatives of my traveling companions. I experienced on my trip dinner with people in absolutely poverty who were so proud to share their table with me and the hospitality of millionaires. I'm a better person for making the trip to reclaim my heritage and one day would love to be able to take that trip again with a better understanding of what to expect and what is expected of me.

Have a wonderful time,
Linda in Everett

Dear Leticia, Thank you so much for responding. Yours is a good idea to make a list of any possible leads from the phone books, while I'm there. If I find alot of Onates there, I'll obtain a copy of the book itself! Unfortunately, I have no living older relatives (that I know of) from which to get any guidance. So I really do appreicate your help. Being new to genealogy, I fully expected to get several responses from the experienced members of our group. For the past year I've read every email posted and I recall emails from others that have taken a similar trip and I hoped they could share tips for success. Again, my call for help goes out, and my thanks for your idea and well wishes. Alice BB
