Nuestros Ranchos Site

You can get film numbers for the batch numbers from the FHL Parish and Vital Records index (this is a microfiche; there is no computer index). This can be somewhat hard to find; the LDS family history centers should have it, but may not. This is actually an old source, so some of the volunteers may not be aware of it.

The basic information you need is country, state/province, and town (ocassionally specific church in the town if it is a large town/city).

You can get them from the Films area of NR at http://www.nuestrosranchos.org/films for some localities.

You can also do a google search for IGI batch numbers, a number of sites will come up. One of best one for Mexican Records is http://mexicoigibatchnumbers.wetpaint.com/

You can get them from the Films area of NR at http://www.nuestrosranchos.org/films for some localities.

However, the secondary lists of batch numbers are not necessarily complete.

Another suggestion: save the image, then try adjusting the contrast and/or the brightness with picture viewing software.

Some software will have an "auto-fix" feature which tries to optimize the image. This may be the best place to start.

Mr. Villasenor opened his lecture by welcoming the standing only crowd to come forward and sit on the floor in the front and sides of the room in order to better enjoy the presentation. The perfect host, he engaged attendees with questions on attitudes about world peace. Some were optimistic, but many like me, were unsure.

Ten years ago, as a novice genealogist, some wise person suggested I read his books to understand family history, which is the context of genealogy. I have only read two of his books, “Rain of Gold”, and Thirteen Senses”, which chronicles his family’s journey from Mexico to Orange County California in the early 1900’s, and was not only inspired but motivated to look for “the story” and not just names and dates.

Victor Villasenor is not only a best selling author, but he is an amazing storyteller and motivational speaker. Relating his family history using quotes and pictures from several of his books he set the context of his family’s migration from Mexico to southern California. He emphasized the strength of Mexican women noting their ability to be grateful and compassionate in the worst of situations. His lecture centered on the arrogance of advocates of English only, noting that language promotes understanding. He started school speaking only Spanish and the prejudice of the majority of his teachers embittered him and he became hateful. It was through the encouragement of a substitute teacher that he found his voice in writing and determined that he would encourage others disparaged in an English only society.

After several hundred rejection letters he published his first book in paperback, but due to the miscue on the part of another author he was the keynote speaker at a teachers conference and his book and presentation were widely reviewed in southern California. Now a successful author he encouraged those in attendance to find their voice, find their family, and be optimistic about the future and world peace.

Anyone come across this in marriage records? I don't know what the word before Reynos de Castilla is or means...
"Vecinos de la ciudad de ? ? Reynos de Castilla..

Also the mothers name is Ynes and some symbol that I assume stands for a last name...

I believe that it means from Spain, a general term rather than specifying a specific region but I could be wrong. I have seen this before and I assumed that it meant from Spain.

This location may actually be El Jaral (today). Try looking in Mexquitic del Carmona, which is near San Luis Potosi.

Thank you Stewart,

I guess my family was normal for those times. From my 7th generation
forward I find a lot of same names, like Antonio, Francisco and Francisca in
the same family, Jesus for male and female, Felipe, etc. and since there
were so many in each family, there are many of the same same but with
different father & mother. Also kind of weird to me because it involves me
is that my mother named me Maria Graciela in the civil registration but my
grandmother thought I should have a Christian name, Esther, so in my
baptismal record that is the only name I have Esther. I decided to retain
this name to honor my grandmother who was very special to me.

Encontré que los Rugama y Vega eran nobles por su línea agnada, Rugama. El pleito de hidalguía está conservado en el Real Chancillería de Valladolid fechado 1818. El hombre que empezo el pleito juridico era Nicolás de Rugama, vecino de Cicero, Cantabria. Una cosa que notarás es que muchísimos de los comerciantes en México, específicamente los cántabros, eran nobles de linaje muy antiguo hijosdalgos.

Daniel M.C.

No tengo datos adicionaes sobre los Cuellar/Moreno de Ortega pero ojalá esto te ayuda con los Rugama y Vega. Muchísimas familias españolas se involucraron en el comercio de Nueva España, lo cual no era excepción con los Rugama y Vega.

Marcelino de Rugama y Vega era hijo de Nicolás de Rugama y Rosaura de Vegas, originarios de Cicero en la provincia de Santander (Cantabria). Marcelino cruzó el atlántico el 24 de octubre de 1799 y llegó a Veracruz donde trasladó a Fresnillo, Zacatecas y comenzó su carera de comerciante. Poco años después le siguió su hermano Ramón.

Ramón de Rugama y Vega, quien cruzó el mar océano el 27 de noviembre de 1803 donde también era comerciante. El dato último que tengo es interesante. Ya que sabemos los Rugama y Vega vivieron en varios sitios, Fresnillo, Zacatecas, Aguascalientes, Veracruz y La Habana, Cuba.

El expediente es fechado 14 de septiembre de 1829. Saturnino Cicero hijo de Pablo Cicero y Manuela del Campo cruza el atlántico. Saturnino era sobrino de Marcelino de Rugama y Vega, hijo de un primo suyo. El documento menciona que iba a La Habana, Ysla de Cuba en casa donde vive su tío Marcelino de Rugama del comercio de esa ciudad. A saber que sangre alteña, los de Cuellar y Moreno de Ortega, anduvo por esas tierras de Cuba es sumamente interesante. No sería los únicos en su historia, linajes como los Flores Alatorre, Álvarez Tostado, Díaz de León, etc regresaron a España.

Un Saludo,

I am assuming that there is no identifying info so that you could return
these tapes to the family. What about your local historical society? Or if
you live near a univerisity, contacting the history dept. there? I see
online that there is something called the Oral History Association, link :
http://www.oralhistory.org/. Maybe they can suggest something. It is sad,
and I can understand and admire your sense of obligation to not let this
woman's words be lost. Good luck.

Alice,

After I downloaded Firefox, I was able to use their new Viewer, and I thought that since Firefox forced me to upgrade my Adobe Flash before it would download, I thought that perhaps that was all that was needed and not a new browser. So, I went back to IE8 and tried to access the new Viewer there, but I still had the same old problems. What other older browser do you have on your computer?

Now that I have the Firefox, I am experiencing strange problems such as the original old MSN Explorer 6 (for dial-up) launching itself in the middle of what I am doing. So now I have three browsers on my computer, and they conflict.

Armando sent me a link to something on Mozilla that hopefully will lead me to correct the problem.
