Never give up

I have been stuck for years on finding the parents of my 4th great grandfather Jose Ysidro Hurtado. I knew his name from baptism records and marriage dispensation of my 3rd great grandfather Rafael Hurtado but could never find Ysidro's parents names. I checked the baptism records of all of children I could find through LDS and no luck the parents were listed but not grandparents. Yesterday I was searching LDS and found the baptism record for Yisdro's youngest daughter Josefa Petronila De Jesus Hurtado and the grandparents were listed. This find was a double bit of luck in that I found Ysidro's parents were Francisco Hurtado and Augustina De Anda. The other bit of luck was that I was able to confirm with another source the parents of Ysidro's wife Rosa Munos.
Moral of the story genealogy isn't easy but eventually it comes together.

Victoriano Huerta's Genealogy - Marquez de los Olivos

I have been working for some time on documenting the ancestors and descendants of Victoriano Huerta. I have put my research online and have had a number of people contact me about it, including a professor at the Universidad Autónoma de Baja California who is writing a biography of Victoriano Huerta and who found a number of the documents there very useful.

http://ramosfamily.org/nextgen/getperson.php?personID=I2440

I am stuck on his mother's lineage, which I am convinced comes from the Marquez de los Olivos, but I have been unable to find the parents of the earliest documented ancestor (Felipe Marquez de los Olivos who was born circa 1700 and married Francisca Xaviera Sanchez probably in Tlaltenango).

http://ramosfamily.org/nextgen/getperson.php?personID=I2561

If anyone has any insights into this I would greatly appreciate them.

Estoy estancado en el linaje de su madre, quien estoy convencido proviene de la Márquez de los Olivos, pero no he podido encontrar los padres del antepasado documentado mas antiguo (Felipe Márquez de los Olivos, que nació alrededor de 1700 y se casó con Francisca Xaviera Sánchez probablemente en Tlaltenango) .

Help please

You all have been so helpful in the past I hate to ask for a favor. I am having trouble with this Marriage Dispensation. I am trying to locate Francisco Hurtado Jimenez’ parents names. I found one of his abuelos but no luck with parents. The web page is https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18409-49962-16?cc=1874591&wc…
It starts with image 443 and goes through 454.

Thank you all in advance, I am taking Spanish classes but I am not there yet.

Universidad De Mexico 1674

In the past I had wondered about education in colonial Mexico.

I was looking through the PARS website for Testamentos (filtered for archivos de indias) and browsing each one to see if I can find any for for our region (Jalisco,Zacatecas, Aguascalientes) in Mexico.

Just out of curiosity, I ran across one that mentiones "Universidad de Mexico:

Help with marriage record - Calletano Franco 1840

I'm having difficulty completely understanding this marriage record for Calletano Franco (top of left page). It's from San Juan de los Lagos, 1840. I thought it was going to be for Calletano Franco and Lugarda Martin, but I can't tell if what comes after Lugarda is a surname (doesn't appear to be capitalized) or if it means something else. It seems like there may be quite a few abbreviations.

I'm hoping someone better acquainted with the script and church language can help me decipher it. Thank you.

Huejuquilla El Alto 1649 - Order

Saw something interesting in the PARS website:

http://oi60.tinypic.com/125gfw5.jpg

On 20 of April 1649, there was an order to burn two temple idols in order to build new Valle De Huejuqulla near Tenzompa:

http://oi60.tinypic.com/125gfw5.jpg

http://oi60.tinypic.com/2ij3dk9.jpg

I looked it up here:

I wish I could see in more detail but it doesn't have the blue computer symbol in order to be able to see it online.

Pictures of Parroquia San Juan De Bautista Church of Mezquitic, Jalisco, Mexico

There are several churches in Mezquitic and I believe this one is the Parroquia de San Juan Bautista:

http://oi59.tinypic.com/16gij2o.jpg

The inside:

http://oi60.tinypic.com/v7a9fc.jpg

Here is some pictures of a Priest giving mass on what looks like a top of a mountain and look at the view of the valley off in the distance? Seems more like if he is at Monte Escobedo. Because when we had traveled past there Monte Escobedo is on top of a mountain and Mezquitic is down at the valley:

http://oi58.tinypic.com/33nud6a.jpg

If you notice in this picture there are some old steps in the distance

http://oi60.tinypic.com/2ry22c6.jpg

Closer look at the old steps:

http://oi59.tinypic.com/msc3d0.jpg

I wonder how old are those steps and what was there?

Transcription of Tamaulipas birth record

If anyone is willing for a challenge, here's one I am having a lot of trouble with. Francisca Rincón Ynfante moved to Rincón de Romos and married there, but her birth record is giving me grief.

Here is the link, and my attempt. I'm especially having trouble with the last third of the record. My knowledge of Spanish is limited, so that makes it harder. Any help appreciated.

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1951-23419-32506-87?cc=1916237…

En Ciudad Victoria Tamaulipas a los 19 diez y nueve dias del mes de Mayo de 1930 siendo las 8 ocho horas ante mí Ascensión Gil Juez del Registro Civil (comprarecció??) el Señor Pablo Rincón, casada, de 26 años de edad, Empleado del citado, originario de San Nicolás Tampicas y vecino de esta Ciudad, manifestando si que el dia 11 once del presente mes a las 21-30 nació en su casa habitación, una niña viva, habida en su esposa la Señora María Ynfante de Rincón de 20 años de edad originaria de la Villa de Aldama Tampicas vecina de esta (Capital?); que la expresada Niña es su primera hija legitima y le puse el nombre María Francisca con su mismo apellido, lo cual presenta a este Juz que para su registro, son abuelos paternos Nestor Rincón y Francisca Po.? del Rincón que viven; y maternos se íqnoro el nombre del abuelo y (Micaela??/MaríaSilvestre??)

My GG Grandfather Patricio Madera (1792 - ?) - Firma A La Adhesion Al Federalismo 1824

I was chatting with a distant relative who we both share a common ancestor "Patricio Madera (1792 - ?)" of Huejuquilla El Alto, Jalisco, Mexico.

She just told me that her uncles told her about Patricio Madera:

"patricio madera fue firmante de la adhesion al federalismo en 1824"

What is the Adhesion Al Federalismo of 1824??

The way we are related is that my great grandfather Calixto Madera (1854 - 1923) had a half brother "Gabriel Madera" She is the great grand daughter of Gabriel Madera while I am the great grandson of Calixto Madera.

Gabriel Madera is the son of Patricio Madera (1792 - ?)/Maria Tomas Munoz (passed away in 1838 at age 40.

Calixto Madera is the son of Patricio Madera (1792 - ?)/Maria Dimas De La Paz (1819 - 1885) where Patricio remarried with Maria Dimas De La Paz in 1852.

Aeral View of Capilla San Diego and Parroquia San Diego at Huejuquilla El Alto

This picture was taken by someone who used a cuadcopter such as a Phantom Cuadcopter with camera to take pictures of Huejuquilla. How useful to find things location of things such as panteons from view from the air.

What is marked in green arrow is the Capilla of San Diego and what is marked in blue arrow is the Parroquia of San Diego:

http://oi57.tinypic.com/3v9mc.jpg

What I have marked with yellow is the mountain called, "Cerro Blanco" My Great Grandfather owned that whole mountain.

Now regarding the old panteon of Huejuquilla in the picture it would be towards the far left out of the picture. If you look at the Capilla De San Diego (pointed in green arrow). From there there is a road that goes all the way to the left end of the road. At the end of that road that is the general area where the old panteon was before they removed it. And across the street from the where the old panteon was is the "Cofradia." From there there is another road that goes up towards San Juan Capistrano passing by the left side of "Cerro Blanco" mountain in the picture.

The new panteon is in a different location.

Snacks and Music while looking through archives

Do any of you eat snacks or listen to music while looking through archives?

Sometimes I get the craving for some rasberry zingers and a cup of coffee to eat and drink. Puts me in a good mood then start looking through the archives and listening to my favorite music.

What are your nuestrosrnachos snacks, music and routine?

Panteon Antiguo at San Antonio De Padua near Huejuquilla El Alto

I am chatting with another person from Huejuquilla El Alto. She is a distant cousin of mine and she lives there. She is educated and also likes geneology.

She has told me that at San Antonio De Padua there is an "old panteon."

"Yo te había platicado que antiguamente enterraban a los muertos en el atrio de las iglesias o terrenos adjuntos. Como en san Antonio de padua allí está el cementerio antiguo del pueblito"

I have to keep note of the comment that she said there is a panteon antiguo at San Antonio de Padua. It must be older than the panteon of the present in Huejuquilla.

The other panteon antiguo that was at Huejuquilla (which I have mentioned and shown with photos of that location), was removed.

The old panteon of San Antonio De Padua, I need to visit it.

Surname Guapalia?

I just received a copy of my great grandfather Teodoro de Alba's death
certificate which lists his mother's name as "Synthia Guapalia". The
informant was his oldest son. I have always been told his mother's surname
was Gonzales, but we have no documentation of this. Could Guapalia be a
misspelling of Gonzales, or is it a real surname?

Location of Old Panteones

I am trying to find location of old panteons of Monte Escobedo, Mezquitic or Minillas.

During the 1600's - 1720's my ancesters were in Minillas, baptized in Mezquitic.

I found the Government website of Monte Escobedo, Zacatecas, Mexico and did a "find" for "antiguo panteon" through the website and came across this:

http://www.asezac.gob.mx/pages/infoase/informes2008/monte_escobedo2008…

http://oi62.tinypic.com/29x6ott.jpg

Does say where the antiguo panteon is located.

My 7th generation great grandmother "Maria De La Candelaria Angon (1655 - 1735) her defunto recorded is recorded in Monte Escobedo, Zacatecas, Mexico:

http://oi60.tinypic.com/bj5w5g.jpg

What would help if the website give coordinates (lat/long).

The Castas System (Pintura de Castas)

A friend made me aware of this painting/system and thought I'd post it for future references in race terminology found in any documents of those times. This is what Wikipedia says:

Casta (Spanish: [ˈkasta], Portuguese: [ˈkaʃtɐ, ˈkastɐ]) is a Spanish and Portuguese term used in 17th and 18th centuries mainly in Spanish America and Spanish Philippines to describe as a whole the mixed-race people which appeared in the post-Conquest period in the process known as mestizaje. A parallel system of categorization based on the degree of acculturation to Hispanic culture, which distinguished between gente de razón (Hispanics) and gente sin razón (non-acculturated natives), concurrently existed and worked together with the idea of casta.

Here is the painting with "proper titles."

http://es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pintura_de_castas#/image/Archivo:Casta_p…

Se Enterro En Hospital (Defunto en Mezquitic) 1785

I ran across this defunto of Maria Zaragoza Lopez of Minillas who it says that she passed away in Huejuquilla and was brought to Mezquitic por haber pagado los derechos al cura de Huejuquilla.

http://oi61.tinypic.com/2dbtmqc.jpg

Note that it says "se enterro en el Hospital en tierra"

So she was buried in a hospital? At Mezquitic or at Huejuquilla? I wonder where the hospital was back then in the year 1785

This is on page 51 of 280 Defunciones 1771 - 1819 of Mezquitic
