Hi everyone,

Does anyone know what the best resource is to do searches for passengers that came to Mexico from spain in the 1500's. I know there are multiple volumes of the book,Catálogo de pasajeros a Indias.

Thank you,

Erika

I have the book. Here is the index http://imgur.com/a/BfTLf#0 Let me know if you would like a look up.

Dear members,

Concerning the marriage of Joseph Lopez de Andrade to Ana Gomes de Aguirre:

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18522-1198-15?cc=1874591&wc=…

the record says Joseph was the widower of Graciana Gonzalez. When I looked through my database, I realized this was Graciana González-Corona (aka Graciana Corona), the daughter of Hernán/Fernán González-Corona and Juana de Betancur. There is the Betancur last name again! Graciana was baptized 10 Sep 1662 in Autlán, and she was later married to Joseph Lopez de Andrade on 6 Jun 1677 also in Autlán.

Baptism

Marriage
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18522-1227-29?cc=1874591&wc=…
There are two reasons I wanted to post this. 1) It gives Graciana an estimated death date of 1699, 2) the Betancor last name is tied up here again (given my recent post on the Isabel Ruiz topic), and 3) Joseph married Ana Gomez de Aguirre, who may have been related to Isabel Gomez and María Gomez de Aguirre (see my post from today on Isabel Ruiz

Cheers!

I found a document where "Hacientos De Hermanos Cofrades" 1802 of Huejuquilla. My Great Great Great Grandfather Juan Benancio Madera is on the list and paid 2 pesos. He was 40 years old at that time:

The source in LDS Website: Pg 473 of Bautismos of Huejuquilla (1817 - 1823) https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18432-14154-80?cc=1874591&wc…

Is that a "membership fee"? Or is it a tax that the landowners paid?

Because I was reading this book online called, "Mexico's Merchant Elite 1590 - 1660 Silver, State and Society and I found this comment that says "Asiento a collection from farmers" http://oi57.tinypic.com/5prm8i.jpg You can read the book online at:

Dear Primos, Friends, and Readers:

Recently, as I was finishing up the February article I got a telephone from Colorado artist, Eddie Martinez. His Cuauhtémoc,the Last Warrior King is on the front page of the February issue of Somos Primos. The link will take you to Part 2, "Walking the streets of Spain while sketching and listening for voices from the past."

Eddie shared his plans for him and his wife to travel to San Antonio, New Orleans, Pensacola, and St. Augustine to sketch, photograph, and record evidence of the earliest of Spanish presence in the United States in those locations. The goal,walking the streets of the United States, seeking early historical evidence of the Spanish presence, listening for those voices.
After we got off the phone, I started thinking of Eddie's selfless dedication and the dedication of many Hispanics, who individually are making huge contribution in presenting the truth about our ancestors.
All together our efforts are changing popular/preferred history with facts. The changes are through sharing and honoring the histories of our ancestors and the many heroes who have fought for our right to be included in the history of the United States. Our history is the history of the United States.
You will read in this issue many, many heritage project happening, projects headed by individuals and groups, with an endless expressions of sharing who we are . . . observing special historic dates with parades and community events, cemetery restorations, families and military statues, history and genealogy conferences, writing and oral history projects, restoration and site preservation, cultural events, lectures, class room visits, reenactors, historical plaques, books, articles, exhibits, murals, presentations, newspaper columnists . .
most importantly, they are activities of our history . . . told by us.
I hope as you read these stories and articles, you will be inspired with a project that you can engage in . . . your family and your history matter.
God bless you and your family, Mimi

​Francisco Reyes who accompanied the Portola party to discover Monterey, Alta California was born in 1747 in a small village called Zapotlan el Grande in the State of Jalisco, Mexico. (Today it is a city named Cuidad Guzman) His father was Juan Jose Dias and his mother was Gertrudis Reyes. It is unclear to us why he used the Reyes name when he journeyed to Alta California.

We have Reyes marriage investigation, signed by Padre Serra. After serving as a soldier protecting Serra in Carmel, Reyes was assigned to the SB Presidio to fulfill his period of enlistment. He retired to Pueblo de Los Angeles where he served twice as Alcade. Reyes was the recipient of a Spanish Land Grant called Encino. It encompassed today's Encino, but also contained the entire San Fernando Valley. As with all European land grants, when the Crown wanted his Rancho back to be given for a Mission at San Fernando, the land was.....reluctantly.....returned. Reyes was given a substitute land grant rancho called Lompoc.

As part of La Senora's Rancho Descendants outreach, we have traced his descendants through five generations. We are now seeking information on his ancestors and on his activities in Mexico---most likely in the shipyards -- during the period in which the Alta California exploration ships were being readied for the journey. La Senora is devoted to research and education on the Cultural Heritage of these individuals so it's not just genealogical information we seek.

After Independence, Reyes grandson Ysidro Reyes (a young vintner in the Pueblo) and a friend Francisco Marquez (operator of the large blacksmith shop in the Pueblo) moved to Rancho Boca de Santa Monica in 1839 when they received that Mexican Land Grant. We will post DNA info from Francisco Reyes great, great, great grandson (the Historian for La Senora Research Institute and Rancho Boca de Santa Monica) and will be delighted if someone can help us to understand what these tests mean. Ernest Marquez is the great grandson of both Ysidro Reyes and Francisco Marquez as the two land grant families intermarried.

Has anyone researched San Martin de Bolaños, Jalisco? The church records only go back to 1905. Were earlier records lost or destroyed? If not, what nearby parish was being used? If anyone comes across a cluster of 1800's baptism from children born in San Martin de Bolaños, would you please let me know so I can search those parish records.

Thanks

Ruben

I sent this to Daniel Mendez my cousin and his answer I thought would be of interest to many who's lines come from there

I was told there were originally 10 Espanol families who agreed to marry only Espanol and I remember you saying you go back to 1 ancestor 17 times from there.

Daniel MéndezdeTorres Camino Yes! The gene pool or rather the nucleus are the following: Mendoza (by far the most influential, produced several branches: Gómez-Hurtado de Mendoza, Gutiérrez de Mendoza, Jiménez de Mendoza, Sánchez de Mendoza, etc), González de Hermosillo, González Rubio, Macías Valades, Fernández de Rueda, Hernández Gamiño, Reynoso-Rentería, Gómez de Portugal, González de Rubalcaba, Alcalá y Hurtado de Mendoza, Vásquez de Lara, Ruiz de Esparza and Padilla Davila
The other 100 or so families gradually settled in the area and began to marry into the nucleus. The nucleus were fond of the peninsulars and quickly married their daughters to them. Often times they came in service of the king, held a social position, land was granted, etc. Most if not all people from Los Altos, Aguascalientes, western Guanajuato and Jalisco can trace repeated times to these families. My mom for example descends from 9 children of Lope Ruiz, Lord of Esparza, some 11 times. Thats intense!

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18427-75834-6?cc=1874591&wc=…

i've come accross this while indexing the 1821 marriage records and this document is confusing. I don't understand some of the terms such as 'espanol indiano" and "america meridional"

Someone asked a while back why the last name "Salado" was taken by some of their children, Cristobal, Lucas and Nicolas. I think I stumbled on the answer, if you go up 4 generations it looks like this.

Bernardo Ruiz de Esparza, his mother, Ana Francisca de Gabay, her mother, Petrolina Moctezuma (still being debated), her father, Diego de Arias de Sotelo, and last his father, Capitan Antonio Sotelo y Salgado.

I am not 100% sure on this, but I too wondered where the last name "Salado" came from, and Salgado sounds very close.

I found a link to a book that mentions the Sotelo y Salgado family.

Thanks,

Thanks Bill for your words, well both of my Esparza lines are currently Francisco Esparsa (estimated birth 1828) and my other line is Matiana Esparsa (Est. birth 1832). My grandfather actually believes these two people are first cousins since all of our "families" would intermarry within our family and I too believe this. Anything is possible. I mean they both came from the same place and same time and lived in the same place which is Huanusco in Zacatecas. In the same ranch. I mean what are the odds. I think they came from Calvillo in Ags. Or near Ags city. Francisco Esparsa married Maria de la Luz AVILA. And for Matiana, she married Pablo Vasquez; they are the parents of one the six original founders of Hacienda La Luz. (Long story short the Zacatecaian Gov't gave money to Mariano Camino my 3rd grt grandfather to start up a Hacienda in Huanusco which he named La Hacienda de La Luz de Nuestra Senora Guadalupe ("La Luz") for short. The founders are Mariano Camino, Ambrosio Garcia, Leandro Vasquez, Rumauldo Lizalde, Mateo Velasco and Estevan Lopez. I descend from all of these gentlemen. Everyone on that ranch descends from most of these men since they intermarried. Thanks Bill. Hope you can help me on my Esparza quest.

Hello, my name is Elena Becerra Woodard. My research shows that my ancestors from my grandmother on my mother’s side were in the Chinampas, Jalisco area for at least 250 years, before migrating to the US in 1898, settling in Colton, CA.

I am a direct descendent of the following people from Chinampas:
My grandmother: Felipa Canales (1890 – 1981)
Her parents: Simon Canales (1858 – 1955) m. Epimenia Contreras (1861 – 1902)
Juan Andres Canales (b. 1823) m. Maria Casilda Cuellar (b. 1829)
Jose Sixto Cuellar (b. abt 1780) m. Maria Felipa Sanchez (b. abt 1780)
Miguel Sanchez (b. abt 1760) m. Gregoria de Lira (b. abt 1760)
Antonio Atanacio Basilio Cuellar (b. 1765) m. Ana Maria Collazo (b. 1759)
Juan Cristomo Collaso (b. 1736) m. Maria Celedonia Delgado ( b. 1730)
Juan Delgado (b. 1703) m. Maria Ysabel de Peres y Gutierres (b. 1704)
Lorenzo Delgado (b. 1676) m. Juana de la Cruz (1675)
Lazaro Delgado ( b. 1655) m. Nicolasa de la Cruz (1650 – 1722)
Lucas de Ramirez Delgado (b. 1629) m. Maria Magdalena Hernandez (b. 1634)
Jose Miguel Cuellar ( b. abt 1740) m. Maria Josefa Martinez (b. abt 1740)
Maximo Canales (b. 1794) m. Josefa Gomez (b. 1797)
Ygnacio Gomez (b. abt 1770) m. Maria Matiana Barrientos (b. 1768)
Jose Miguel Canales (b. abt 1770) m. Paula Elena Perez (b. abt 1770)
Franciso Perez ( b.abt 1750) m. Petra Flores (b. abt 1750)
Jose Manuel Guadalupe Canales (b. abt 1750) m. Maria Antonia Garcia (b. abt 1750)
Gregoria Contreras (b. abt 1830) m. Timotea Ibarra (abt. 1820)

Several of my family lines in the Chinampas, Jalisco area intermarried with Terrones.

My father’s family are Becerras who lived in the Tepic, Nayarit area for at least 150 years before migrating to the US and settling in San Bernardino, CA.

Can this presentation be watched via the Internet ? I'm not clear on how it works.

Thank you so much for this info! I have been stuck for years with this couple.
I have never been able to find either of their parents and you have solved this
for me. I am so very grateful. Will I be able to find this same info of the
grandparents on familysearch? I live in Ohio and all our films must be ordered
from one of the branches of the LDS Church. Senon Paulino would be my fathers'
4th great grandfather who married a Maria Campos. Senon or Paulino, as some of
his records call him,also had a son, named Rafael Alvarez, married to Viviana
Alva Valensuela. I have never been able to find his documents for his birth or
christening. This couple had a son, Melecio or Melecio Alvarez who would have
been my grandfather and my fathers father. My father, Amador Alvarez,was the
son of Melecio Alvarez and Sara Campos Mota. I have not been able to find birth
or christening record or death records for Melecio or Rafael. Would you be able
to search for these names for me? I
f not it is alright. Perhaps you could tell me where I might be able to search
for them. Thanks again, you have cracked the mystery of Jose Alvarez and Ana or
Francisca Campos for me!!

Hi, my name is Barb Walker Terrones. I just posted a message regarding the Terrones family. I neglected to include my URL address is:

http://www.nuestrosranchos.org/Barbwterrones

Sorry about the error.

Hello Armando, I am contemplating the Y-DNA, however, I have a
question regarding the Y-DNA, according of what I have read on
the subject, is that through the Y-DNA, it will discover a paternal
ancestor, in my case the surname de Leon. I am willing to invest the
necessary funds, if the test will provide me with the information
for me to break through the wall, I have encountered while researching my grandfather Bartolo de Leon. I have been very successful with my maternal
ancestry surnames of Garcia, Reyes,Bocanegra, Macias, Mendoza, Tiscareno
Ruiz
de Esparza, de Udabe, etc of Aguascalientes, the only results I have
encountered of the de Leon surname is from various administrators of
ANCESTRYDNA, however, so far the claim is that the MATCH is their wives,
husbands, etc and that is as far as it goes. I wonder if by having the
Y-DNA test done, I would enhance my research. Thanks, Arturo

I'm getting ready to add the information on Lope Ruiz de Esparza found in the book Catalago de Pasajeros a Indias Volumen VII. While browsing other messages, I found out that the original document was found and made available by Mr. Arturo Ramos (thank you so much) in this group.

I hope somebody who has used this document can help me. I was able to download it from nuestros ranchos, but how do I reference it? Where exactly was it found? Are these books (the original contrataciones) available online? While comparing both documents, I notice that on the Catalogo they transcribe Lope's boss's last name as Manleon and Maleon, while in the original document it looks like Mauleon. I googled both spellings and it looks like Mauleon is the right spelling. Anyways, any help on how to source this document will be greatly appreciated.
