Joseph,

I am looking for descendants of Rita Garcia de Sanchez and her husband Miguel Sanchez.i am trying to find Rita Garcias parents. I was hoping that descendants of theirs may have more information on Rita Garcia that may provide clues to his ancestry.

Miguel Sanchez (born 1882) and Rita Garcia (born abt 1883) were married and lived in Tepatitlan Jalisco, Mexico.

They have at least five children but I suspect they had more than that.

I have as their children :

Paula Sanchez Garcia born about 1904 married to Jose Maria Franco Gomez born in 1903

Agustin Sanchez Garcia born about 1913

Maria Sanchez Garcia born about 1915

Ysaac Sanchez Garcia born about 1917

Maria de la Luz Sanchez Garcia born about 1920

The national census has them residing in Tepatitlan Jalisco Mexico in 1930. In 1930 Paula Sanchez Garciawas already married to Jose Maria Franco.but the rest of the siblings that I have listed are shown as residing with the parents.

Thank you,

R.a. Ricci

Dear Primos and Friends:

September always fills me with the excitement of a new school year. Last year, I was part of the little parade that walked my oldest great-grandson to school for his first day of kindergarten, the same elementary school that two of my grandsons attended. This year, another great-grandson will be starting kindergarten at the same school. Time is certainly passing . . . quickly, quietly.

Dennis Brimhall, CEO of FamilySearch International, stated: “Today family history research and telling, sharing, and preserving family memories through stories, photos, and technology are engaging a growing number of individuals of all ages like never before,” Youth want to discover themselves and their family’s history in fun, exciting ways, and adults want to strengthen family connections and leave enduring
legacies." Do check out their new updated and free
https://familysearch.org/.

Studies show that knowing family history is healthy, "grounding" the individual in a very positive way. I hope you are all finding means to pass on your stories and experiences, and what you learned from them.
Just start . . write down one memory, which since you remember it, must in some way be important to you.

Thank you to all those who have sent in stories and articles. You are shaping Somos Primos by sharing.

God bless, Mimi

I found this very nice dispensa (thanks to Katy's website) for the marriage of Isabel Sanchez de Porras to Miguel de la Mora Hurtado de Mendoza widow of Getrudis de Alderete

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18378-3962-36?cc=1874591&wc=…

Its a nice dispensa because it includes more information than average and clarifies the Sanchez de Porras lines. Included is

Juan Gonzalez de Hermosillo 1 Leonor de Hermosillo
Leonor Gonzalez de Hermosillo 2 Francisco Gutierrez de Hermosillo
Geronimo Sanchez de Porras 3 Leonor Gutierrez de Hermosillo
Isabel Sanchez de Porras 4 Miguel de la Mora

The significant other of each person is listed as well (except for Leonor Gutierrez de Hermosillo, which through other sources I know to be Juan de la Mora)

Juan Gonzalez de Hermosillo and Ana Gonzalez Florida
Leonor Gonzalez de Hermosillo and Geronimo Sanzhez de Porras, el Viejo (Captain)
Geronimo Sanchez de Porras, el Mozo (Captain) and Maria Anna Suarez de Ibarra

Leonor de Hermosillo and Miguel Gutierrez
Francisco Gutierrez de Hermosillo and Juana Carvajal

Witnesses include Juan Sanchez de Porras (Captain, I also have seen him as Sargent) son of Geronimo Sanchez de Porras, el Viejo and Pedro Sanchez de Porras (Alferez), also son of Geronimo Sanchez de Porras, el Viejo. It is also explicity stated that Miguel Gutierrez and Ana Gonzalez Florida are siblings, so the top of the lineages are a pair of sibling who married another pair of siblings.

I figure I'd post this dispensa because of all of the many details it has. I have seen on many online trees that Geronimo is married to both Leonor Gonzalez de Hermosillo and Maria Ana Suarez de Ibarra. I also noticed the dispensa states that Francisco Gutierrez de Hermosillo married Juana de Carvajal. Is the use of this surname correct? I havent researched her but many trees show that her surname should be Lomelin or Benavides and she married Rodrigo Carvajal.

I have been working on an index for this film of Aguascalientes matrimonial investigations, which is nominally from the period 1733/34.

I am posting this note because the film covers time periods that are not at all obvious from the film title.

While many of the records are from the 1733/34 period, there are many for the period 1735-1758. This latter period is mostly indios, with very few mestizos and mulatos, but no Espanols, from the pueblos of San Marcos, Jesus Maria, Pueblo Nueva, and San Joseph de Grasia.

I am planning on posting this work in the Nuestros Ranchos reference material file, along with indexes for the other films of the 1730/1740 period, later this Fall.

Dear Tomas--

I have been studying your family lines. I have three children for Don Jose Rafael VILLARRUEL and Dona Maria Antonia GALLAGA, the first of the three born about 1785. I do not have the other two wives for Jose Antonio Rafael VILLARROEL Castellanos, whose birth I was guessing was about 1755. I did not have his parents. Do you have parents for Don Maria Antonia GALLAGA?

The date of marriage for the second wife does not work at 3 Feb 1722. It was 1792?

I will send more out tomorrow.

Sincerely,
Patricia Burton

Hi, my name is Barb Walker Terrones and I am a new member to this group. I have been researching my Walker tree for ten years and now am working on my husband's family, the Terrones family. I have been able to trace the name back to Antonio Terrones, born about 1708 in Chinampas, Ojuelos de Jalisco, Mexico. I am doing this for my children, as well as my husband's family, so they have a better understanding of who they are and where their ancestors originated. I also am a member to Ancestry.com and am able to assist in searches.

Antonio Terrones married Marta De La Cruz. They had Manuel Villanueva Terrones, baptized 23 Sep 1731 Ciénega De Mata Ojulelos, Jalisco, Mexico. Manuel Terrones married Manuela De La Trinidad De Lira and they had Vicente Terrones born 26 Oct 1768 Hacienda de Cienega, Jalisco, Mexico. Vicente Terrones married Maria Paula Ramires and they had Marcelino Terrones born about 1800 in Chinampas, Jalisco, Mexico. Marcelino Terrones married Maria Prudencia Guerrero and they had Ricardo Terrones.

Ricardo Terrones married Nicolaza Cerdo and they had at least 7 children. Three of those children, Luciano, Sisto, and Serapio, had many children, some of whom immigrated to Los Angeles, CA between 1920 and 1923, most eventually settling in Santa Maria, CA. My husband is descended through Serapio Terrones.

Hola estimados compañeros:

Quiero compartirles un documento que descubrí gracias al trabajo de Katy Brecht Quesada en su índice de Ordenes Sacerdotales.

No estoy completamente seguro si este documento hace referencia a Juan Gómez Rubio, mejor conocido como Juan Gómez-García casado con María de Velasco, pareja que residió en Tecolotlán a mediados del siglo XVII.

Esta información que no parece ser para aspirar al sacerdocio, fue recabada el 10 de Julio de 1646 en el pueblo de Cocula. Francisco Martín solicita información sobre los padres de Juan Gómez Rubio, que por lo que alcanzo a entender el propósito de ésta tiene algo que ver con sus bienes.

Por la declaración de los tres testigos, se puede rescatar lo siguiente sobre la ascendencia de Juan: Que fue hijo de Alonso Gómez Rubio (originario de los Reinos de Castilla y que vino a la Nueva España en busca de Fray Martín Rubio, su hermano que vivía en el Convento de dicho pueblo) y de María Gómez, a su vez hija de María Moreno. Que para 1646 tenía 25 años por lo que debió nacer por 1620-21. También se menciona que Francisco Martín (quien solicita la información) y Constanza Martín eran sus hermanos y a la vez padrinos de su bautismo.
Sin embargo en ningún momento se menciona que fuera aspirante a Orden Sacerdotal, ni que fuera finado. Por lo que mi primer interrogante que no pude responder por ser poco legible la letra es ¿Porqué se levantó esa información? Ya mencioné que creo tiene algo que ver con los bienes de Juan Gómez Rubio. La respuesta a esta pregunta es para tener la seguridad que no fuera miembro del clero ya que eso descartaría que se pudiera tratar del Juan Gómez Rubio casado con María de Velasco.

De acuerdo a la fecha de nacimiento, es probable que se trate del Juan que vivió en Tecolotlán. Juan tuvo varios hijos pero el acta bautismal más antigua que se encuentra en el buscador de Familysearch es la de su hija Francisca, fechada el 27 de Agosto de 1667 en Tecolotlán. En ella él está asentado como JUAN GÓMEZ RUBIO.

Les dejo el link del documento en cuestión:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18377-22561-46?cc=1874591&wc…
Se encuentre en el microfilm Ordenes 1600-1628, 1714 y empieza en la imagen num. 85

Hasta la fecha, no teníamos idea de cual podía ser el origen del que es para muchos de nosotros nuestro antepasado. Yo creo que por las fechas, y la cercanía que tenía Cocula de Tecolotlán, podría ser nuestro ancestro,

Me gustaría conocer la opinión de ustedes al respecto.

Atentamente,
Enrique Salvador Agraz Villarreal

Hola compañeros de nuestros ranchos, hoy terminé de unir mi linea de la familia Rubalcava establecida en Cuquío y Yahualica gracias al trabajo desinteresado de Claudia Casillas, con la indexación de las dispensas matrimoniales de Guadalajara.

Ayer que publicó las dispensas de 1784 encontré el matrimonio de un hermano de uno de mis ancestros por lo cual encontré que desciendo de las siguientes personas:

1.- Francisco González de Rubalcava y María Gutiérrez de Hermosillo.
2.- Francisco Ruiz de Luna y María Sánchez.

Francisco, es hijo de Mateo de Rubalcava y de Catarina Cortés, lineas que pude completar gracias a las obras de Mariano González Leal y de José Luis Vázquez y Rodríguez de Frías. María Gutiérrez de Hermosillo se dice hija de la Iglesia, pero de acuerdo a la dispensa matrimonial que revisé, se dice hermana de Miguel Gutiérrez de Hermosillo. Miguel Gutiérrez de Hermosillo, era cónyuge de Catarina Delgadillo, solo habrá que encontrar mas pistas para saber quienes eran los padres de Miguel y María.

Lo que si no he podido encontrar quienes son los padres de Francisco Ruiz de Luna y María Sánchez, cónyuges. Y tampoco los padres de María Francisca Sánchez, segunda cónyuge de Francisco Javier Rubalcava Gutiérrez de Hermosillo.

Jorge Luis Ramírez Gómez.
Tepatitlán de Morelos, Jalisco, México.

Welcome to the group. I have seen many surname changes. Not counting
children using a mother or grandparents name, I usually see it more on my
mulato or indigenous relatives. Are you looking for help on a specific
person or persons?

I have researched my grandmother's family from Tlajomulco,Jalisco, Mexico. Her mother's family surname was originally Cordero Torres and around 1887 I noticed a surname change to Flores. The records show where my grandmother's mother & grandfather's surname where changed from Cordero to Flores in some records. Her grandfather's sister,Felix. also started out with the surname Cordero Torres & later became Flores. Records pertaining to Felix's grandchildren also named her as Flores. Anyone out there who experienced a surname change? Here are the other surnames I'm rsearching from the same town: Gomez-Gonzalez, Zuniga-Morillo, Solorzano-Gomez.

Hello,

I am a bit confused regarding the parents of my ancestor Francisco de Esqueda Acosta. According to his will (http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/De_Esqueda_Acosta-3), his father Francisco de Acosta Esqueda was from Coria, Reinos de Castilla. He also mentions that his mother Anna Maria was from Coria, Reinos de Castilla.

Francisco de Acosta Esqueda married Anna Maria in Aguascalientes on March 10, 1627. He is classified as Español and Anna Maria as mulata. Is it possible that Anna Maria was a mulata from Spain, since her son stated that she was from Coria, Reinos de Castilla.

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-267-11824-52325-19?cc=1502404&…

Do any of you know what can be going on? Are any of you familiar with this couple?

I descend from a daughter Francisco de Esqueda and his wife Maria Diaz named Sebastiana de Esqueda who married Juan de Soto. Juan and Sebastiana then had Onofre de Soto who married Cayetana de Estrada y Robalcaba. They later had Lucas de Soto who married Petra de Chavez. Lucas and Petra had Antonio Guadalupe de Soto who married Gertrudis de Avila.

This is what Francisco de Esqueda's testament reads:
26 junio 1708

…yo Francisco de Esqueda Acosta, hijo legitimo de Francisco de Esqueda Acosta natural de la villa de Coria en los Reinos de Castilla y de Ana María y natural de la villa de Coria en dichos reinos y vecinos que fueron de esta villa de Nuestra Señora de Aguascalientes de donde yo soy natural y vecino. Estando al presente sano y bueno...

Yten declaro para el descargo de mi conciencia que por fin y muerte de dichos mis padres quedaron en esta villa dos suertes de huerta y dos solares con sus títulos y de mas es < ? > dejando así mismo por sus hijos legítimos y universales herederos a Lorenzo, a Inés, y a mi…

Yten declaro que de la parte que me tocan tengo vendidos tres solares. Los dos Antonio de Escamilla, de que le hice escritura, y el otro a María García, mi sobrina…

Y para cumplir este mi testamento mando y < ? > nombro por mi albaceas al dicho mi hijo Baltasar de Esqueda Acosta y a Domingo Esqueda Acosta, mi sobrino…nombro por mis legítimos herederos a Sebastiana, Felipe, María, Leonor, Francisca y Baltasar mis hijos legítimos y de María Ruiz con quien fui casado y velado in facie ecclesiae según orden de Nuestra Santa Madre Iglesia, quien no trujo dote ninguno al matrimonio, durante el los hubimos y procreamos por nuestros hijos legítimos. Sebastiana casó con Juan de Soto, Felipe casó con Juana de Estrada y durante el matrimonio tuvo tres hijos nombrados Nicolás, Pedro y Cristóbal a quienes nombro por mis herederos en la parte que tocaba el dicho Felipe por haber fallecido. María casó con Nicolás López, Leonor con Miguel de Tejeda, Francisca casó con Agustín Ortiz y Baltasar casó con María Ortiz….

I got Francisco Munos de Nava married to Maria Gonzalez as the parents of two brothers (Juan Lopez and Andres Munos de Nava) who respectively married two sisters (Luisa Marques and Luisa de Tiscareno) daughters of Luis Tiscareno de Molina and Lorenza Ruiz de Esparza. Juan and Luisa Marques married first, August 30, 1650 in Aguascalientes, followed by Andres and Luisa, who were married on Sept 3, 1652. Juan and Luisa were the godparents of Andres and Luisa.
I also have Luisa de Nava, daughter of Francisco Munos de Nava and Maria Sanchez, who married Diego Alonso Gonzales de Hermosillo February 25, 1645, in Teocaltiche, Jalisco.
I got a few questions: Is Francisco Munos de Nava one and the same? If yes, is Maria Gonzalez and Maria Sanches the same person? Finally, does anyone has additional ancestral information on the Munos de Nava, Sanchez and Gonzalez lines I mentioned?

Thanks

I created this group to look for my lost family my grandmas family.

Merdedes Torres Cabrera 1914 to abt.1955. Born in Guadalajara Jalisco, May be in cementery in Sonora.
Spaouse Guadalupe Zambrano Zambrano 1902 to 1983. Born in La piedad, Michoacan, Cementery Guadalajara Jalisco.

Just curious about the title of CAPITAN of the 16th and 17th centuries in Mexico.

Was it just a military title and / or was it an honorary title awarded to influential prominent and educated men?

Was it also a title much like the British do when it dubs prominent men with Knighthood and the title of SIR?

Many of my ancestors carry that title but I wonder if they were really military officers.

Just asking.

I have look them up on 1930 census and they are not there?

Jose Luis Zambrano De Santiago "El Euforia".

There were several men named Francisco Xavier Romo de Vivar in Aguascalientes in the early 1700's. My research is focused on the man that was married to Juana Dias Montanes de Sandi. I estimate he was born between 1700 and 1715. I've identified three individuals that appear to be the children of Francisco Xavier and Juana.

Lazaro Salvador who was baptized Feb 26, 1748
Antonia Leandra who was baptized April 6, 1742
Ana Maria who was married in Teocaltiche on Jan 22, 1753 (probably born around 1735)

I believe, but cannot prove, that Francisco Xavier is the son of Nicolas Romo de Viva and Francisca Xaviera Gallardo.

It is equally possible that Francisco Xavier is the son of Cristobal Romo de Vivar and and his first, Josefa Macias. Following her death Cristobal married Maria Munoz de la Barba.

I've pretty much been able to rule out all other possibilities, but there may be someone I missed.

I have looked though most marriage and Informacion Matrimonial records looking for some document that confirms the names of the parents of Francisco Xavier (again keeping in mind there are others by this name that are not of the right age). So far no luck.

If anyone has come across any record that can aid me in my research please let me know.

Thanks.

I have uploaded a handy tool to help the researcher understand Archaic Spanish script. The pdf file will assist the reader with the Spanish alphabet from the 12th century to the 17th.

He subido una herramienta para ayuda al investigador a entender el Español antiguo en su manuscrito. El archvio ayudara al lector con el Español de los siglos 12 al 17.
