Calvillo, Macías, Ponce, Vásquez, Garcia

Hello everyone,

My name is Christopher de Cuéllar and I'm very new to geneaology and very new to the group. I've only been doing geneaology for about a month. My father died when I was very young so I never really knew much about my ancestors. That's probably why I started becoming interested in geneaology. I'm currently in high school and am trying to accomplish as much research during the winter break as possible. Mainly, spending all my free time pulling records I can find on family search. Also, if there's anyone that could assist in occasionally translating records for me, I would really appreciate it. I have dyslexia which really hasn't been a problem for me lately, but for some reason the ancient cursive writing on marriage and baptism records gives me a problem.

I'm currently researching my ancestors the Calvillo, Macías and Ponce families from Aguascalientes and the Vásquez and Garcia families from Guadalajara, Jalisco. Right now, I'm mainly interested in Francisco Xavier Calvillo that married María Michaela Macías at El Sagrario, Aguascalientes on 24 May 1753 and their ancestors. Also, interested in Gregorio Ponce that married María Gertrudis Rangel on 6 Feb 1796 and their ancestors.

In Guadalajara, the only record I have for my Vásquez ancestor is Miguel Vasquez born 29 Sept 1896 in Guadalajara and baptised on 19 Oct 1896 at Iglesia Parroquial de Jesus, Guadalajara. On his baptism it lists his parents as Cecilio Vásquez and Flora Garcia and his paternal grandparents as Leonardo Vásquez and Susana Garcia. It lists his maternal grandparents as Sinforiano Garcia and Donaciana Vejar. I'm especially looking for information on them.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance."

Los Altos-Mulatos ?

Hola , I believe that the Mulatos were looking at a chance of freedom but maybe the owners (after/during the revolution) sent them away seeing that couldn't feed them and had no labor force . Maybe the Mulatos observing all this decided to split. But there were so many Its hard to conceive they just disappeared.

FTDNA

Has anyone had any good results from using FTDNA.com ? I just transferred my data from Ancestry.com to FTDNA and while it only took an hour for results to come in, it doesn't show a lot of information. I have not paid for the full version of the website, not sure if it is worth it.
Anyone have any experiences using this site or any other?

What Spanish Ports used during XVI?

There are three ports in Spain that were there during XVI period:

Puerto San Sebastian:

http://oi60.tinypic.com/142fsp2.jpg

Puerto Santander:

http://oi57.tinypic.com/2ym9bm1.jpg

Puerto Sevilla:

http://oi58.tinypic.com/s3zkte.jpg

Included are the three pictures. Most of the spanish explorers that arrived to Zacatecas were from the Basque region from "Gipuzkoa" such as Francisco Ibarra, etc.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gipuzkoa

The ports of San Sebastian and Santander are located in the northern side of Spain near the Basque region. So I wonder if that is where they embarked rather than Sevilla which is at the very south side of Spain.

Question regarding Sagrario de Zacatecas

Is anyone familiar with Sagrario de Zacatecas??? What towns belonged to this parish in the early 1600-1700's. Also, why did it change names to Iglesia de Santo Domingo in the later colonial years.

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-15210-22038-32?cc=1804458&wc…

Is it similar to Archdiocese de Guadalajara???

I noticed their records go back to as early as 1605. In their "Baptism" records were "Marriages" mixed in.

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-11200-31852-57?cc=1804458&wc…

Also, under "Marriages 1712-1753" were important legal documents with seals that date back to as early as 1634. Some of these documents mention, "Capitanes" "Minas" "Duque de Alburque" These legal documents begin on image 404 and continue for about 100 pages.

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-15210-22038-32?cc=1804458&wc…

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-15210-21982-81?cc=1804458&wc…

Does anyone know what this documents are that would require 3-4 seals???

Thanks

Fray Marcos De Niza en Mezquitic, Jalisco, Mexico (1667)?????

I was going through baptismo records of year 1667 of pueblo Santa Catharina which is recorded in Mezquitic Catholic Church records and noticed the signatures of "Fray Marcos De Niza:

Manuela Madera (1686 - 1738) - Sister of my GGGGGG Grandfather Joseph Madera of Minillas, Mezquitic, Jalisco, Mexico

I have some copies of the sister of my GGGGGG Grandfather Joseph Madera (1684 - 1734). Her name is "Manuela Madera" Copy of her bautismo June 23, 1686:

http://oi58.tinypic.com/28jgpoz.jpg

Her parents are my GGGGGGG Grandparents Antonio Madera and Maria De La Candelaria.

This is where I ask any of nuestros ranchos members about where it says "Manuela de Antonio de Los Angeles" Antonio de Los Angeles could be referring to where my GGGGGGG Grandfather Antonio Madera was from? "Los Angeles?" is there a town name Los Angeles and where is it? My GGGGGGG Grandparents Antonio Madera and Maria De La Candelaria resided in Minillas, Mesquitic, Jalisco, Mexico.

In 1707 She was Madrina with her brother (Juan or Joseph? Can't read or make it out). It says "con su hermana Manuela Madera:

Spanish Abbreviations Assistance

Hello, I am trying to decipher the difference in the following abbreviations, or if they actually mean the same thing just written differently?
These are all in three different baptism records I am trying to figure out:

Ps (sorry, the "s" is supposed to be written as an exponent character, but can't find that option on my keyboard)
P. nos
P.P.

I know P.s is for padrinos, and P is for padre, but trying to figure out these other ones and how they all fit in.

If anyone can help, I would be most grateful.

Thank you!

Hernandez family

Hello my name is Ernestina Hernandez Sierra. It has been awhile since I've worked on my family tree due to serious illness in the family. Currently I am researching the Hernandez family. From my research it looks like starting with my great great great grandfather the family was from Cerrogordo Jalisco. Can any one tell me anything about this area. My grandfather was born in La Ordena? Is this a town? This is what I have found;
Grandfather Jose Ambrosia Hernandez Chaves born 7 Dec 1881 in La Ordena Jalisco
g-grandfater Pedro Hernandez born 1 July 1858 in Cerrogordo Jalisco
gg-grand Jose Andres Hernandez born 30 Nov 1824 in Cerrogordo Jalisco
ggg-grandfather Juan de dios born Aug 1790 in Cerrogordo, Jalisco
gggg- gramdfather Juan Franciso Hernandez- run into a dead end here.

My grandfather Ambrosia/o immigrated to the United States around the turn of the century.

Is there anyone out there that might be able to help with this.

Thank you so much
Ernestina

Mendozas from 1700's San Luis Potosi

I was wondering if anyone might be able to assist me in continuing my research into the Mendoza family surname. Using FamilySearch.org historical I have been able to trace back my paternal family line (Mendoza) to San Luis Potosi. The last record I have found was a marriage of my GGGG grandfather, Jose Salbador Mendoza, to Maria Bruna Gamez dated 27 May 1812 in the Pueblo de S.Geronimo. The age of Salbador Mendoza is listed as 20 so I reasoned that he should have been born in 1792+/-. This Document list my GGGGG Grandfather as Juan Nicolas Mendoza. Unfortunately this is as far as I have been able to go. I have attached the marriage document should anyone wish to look and see if they might find additional information.

Hola Primo Armando, gracias por la informacion, lo de mi ADN fue hecho hace
varios anos, desde cuando empezaron al publico. En lo que me equivoque fue
en la traduccion del Ingles al Espanol de Scandinavian/German a
"Sueco-Aleman" actualmente debe ser "Escandinavo-Aleman". Los Visigodos
son originarios del sur de lo que hoy es Suecia (todavia existe la ciudad
de Goteburg), despues de ayudarle al Imperio Romano se les dieron terrenos
que hoy vienen siendo parte de la peninsula de Iberia, o sea Espana y
Portugal. De por ahi vinieron a Las Americas como Espanoles (y
Portugueses). La prueba de ADN que hice me puso a 80% Escandinavo-Aleman,
12% Mediterraneo, 4% Celtico y 4% de Siberia-Nativo Americano. Estudiando
mi linea Padilla de Avila y Reynoso he encontrado antepasados Sefarditos,
Vascos y de partes que hoy son de Italia. El punto de esta comunicacion es
que la gran mayoria de lo blanco en nuestros razgos son sencillamente de
Espana. De lo Celtico ha salido mucho en los Gallegos, tambien, son de
Espana. De las cifras de 48% ADN Aleman se ha verificado en varios
estudios, unos que se han visto aqui en Nuestros Ranchos. Lo de lo Nativo
en Mexico de 32% salio de los estudios modernos donde intentan identificar
los grupos etnicos de los Nativos. Creo que la confusion viene de como
hacen las pruebas hoy comparado a antes. Un primo hermano Gonzalez-Reynoso
acaba de tomar la prueba de ADN y no dice nada de lo Aleman, solo dice que
72% de Espana/Portugal, 6% Nativo, 2% Sefardito y 1% Africano (lo de mas no
me acuerdo). Creo que lo que nos confunde es lo que se llama el "Snapshot"
en Ingles, o sea, que tanto al pasado se estan haciendo las comparaciones.
Disculpa tanta palabra, solo queria decirles a mis Primos que la gran
mayoria de lo blanco viene de Espana, pero vinieron de otros lados antes de
ser Espanoles. Diosito los Cuide! Raul

Aygre

A death record (1798) says an infant died of "Aygre". What is that? Same as Aigre? What does it mean? The only two definitions I've found don't help me much. One is "Flujo impetuoso del mar". Another source suggests it just means "air". If so, what condition does it describe?

Stories of Separation: Impact of Detention and Deportation on Latino Children's Attachment Representations

Hi Joseph!

I hope that this email finds you well! Unfortunately, I haven't had much time to work on my ancestry...I've been busy helping family members who have been ill and getting older. I'm writing to you with the hope that you would be open to helping me reach out to our Nuestros Ranchos group and any other group, family, and friends.

My daughter, Monique is completing her Family and Child Psychology doctorate dissertation on the impact of children who have had a primary caregiver deported or detained. She needs to find families for this very important study to share their experiences. Is it possible to ask you for your assistance in sending the information out to Nuestros Ranchos email group? Her study participants have to be living in California; however, it's important to share this study with everyone.

With her permission, I've added her intro below and I'm attaching the flyers in Spanish and English with all the details. Participants are encouraged to call her directly to ensure confidentiality. She is fluent in English and Spanish:) What do you say... would you help me spread the word? Thank you in advance!

My name is Monique Gonzalez and I am a fifth year doctoral student from the California School of Professional Psychology in San Francisco. I am currently living in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, applying for my post-doctoral internship. I am in the process of working on my dissertation,

entitled: Stories of Separation: Impact of Detention and Deportation on Latino Children's Attachment Representations.

The purpose of my study is to shed light on the experiences and feelings of Latino children who are separated from their primary caregiver through detention and/or deportation. I will be conducting individual interviews with children throughout California.

Citizenship or immigration status of the children are not relevant and will not be asked, and children can speak either English or Spanish (or both).

Children must:

- Be of Latino/Hispanic descent

- Be between 9 to 12 years old

- Experienced the deportation or detention (in relation to deportation) of their primary caregiver within the last three years.

- Child must be separated from their caregiver at the time of interview.

Each participating family receives a $25 Visa Gift Card, and the child receives a gift of school supplies. I have attached two flyers, one in English and another in Spanish. If you know of a family with an eligible child, please feel free to forward them the attached flyer. Interested guardians can leave me a message with their contact information and I will call them back directly. OR if preferred, the family may provide you permission to forward their information to me; I am happy to get in touch with them. This is often easier and feels more comfortable for the families.

Your participation will not need to continue beyond this point. I believe this is a much needed area of research and your support is invaluable! The study is CONFIDENTIAL and has been approved by the Institutional Review Board at CSPP-SF.

As you may all agree, this is an incredibly significant area of research that can provide families, advocates, and the psychological community a
deeper understanding of how to best support and provide culturally responsive interventions for these children. In my experience, thus far, it
truly helps when the family hears that you believe and trust in this study.

¡Muchísimas gracias!

Características raciales de los alteños de origen español

En varias ocasiones leí que un obispo de la Nueva Galicia, tal vez Alonso de la Mota y Escobar, visitó la región que ahora conforman los Altos de Jalisco y describió a su población española como muchos de ellos rubios o de pelo castaño, algunos de ojos claros y muchos de piel blanca. Si alguien conoce este texto, le agradecería mucho que me proporcionara la referencia.

http://www.somosprimos.com/sp2014/spdec14/spdec14.htm

Dear Primos and Friends:

It is hard to believe that this December issue completes 15 years of monthly Somos Primos issues online. It has been a challenge, an education, and a joy. My historical understanding of U.S. history and the Spanish global presence has grown bit by bit, primarily through the varied submissions and family histories that readers have sent.

The wide diversity of information reflects the countless range of individual histories with a Latino connection. Every individual's story is unique, each different, a piece to the puzzle of humanity.

I have taken a simple approach: if you have a Spanish surname, you have a heritage connection to Spain, where the surname originated, and that makes you happily, a possible primo. . .

Since the heritage diversity among the Spanish language speakers in the Americas is based on the 500-year colonization period of the America, I am hopeful that as we learn our history back to the colonization period, we will find many primo connections.
I am hopeful too that as we find our historical and DNA roots connections to other groups, such as the Indigenous, African, European, Asian, and Jewish communities, it will increase understanding and respect for the cultures of others.

As we embrace diversity in the United States, we will be helping to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. His message of love will be easier to emulate as we reinforce ourselves with historic facts and apply them to our activities in the present.

May you, your family, friends, and community rejoice, honor, and adore the Lord who brought the message of love and peace for all mankind.

MERRY CHIRSTMAS and warm hugs. . . Mimi

Francisco de Orozco ?

Hola Members ,I am trying to see how many Francisco de Orozcos there are cause I am getting confused.
I have a Francisco de Orozco born to a Francisco de Orozco and Magdalena Gomez de Portugal around 1645.
A Francisco de Orozco married to a Catalina de Arriola who had an Angela de Orozco marries to Juan Perez Gallo.
A Francisco de Orozco married to Ines de Villegas.
What am understanding (I think ) that Francisco was married 3 times. Magadalena Gomez de Portugal,Ines de Villegas and Catalina de Arriola. If so I don't know where Catalina de Arriola fits in. Any thoughts ?

Thank you for your time
Ronnie
