Raul, I have some records from these two lines. If you'd like I'd be happy to send you a genealogy report on what I have.

'The Ruiz de Esparza family is a well-known Basque family that settled in Aguascalientes at the beginning of the Seventeenth Century. The surname Esparza is said to mean one who came from Esparza (a barren place or a place where feather grass grew) in Spain. The word was derived from the Latin sparsus (spread abroad, scattered), probably referring to land that yields little. Esparza is the name of a village near Pamplona in Navarra (Navarre), España (Spain).

I came across the following site (quite by accident - I was looking for something else) and thought I would post it, although I know not many are researching in this area. It is basically some general information regarding the Valparaiso district, including famous personages. It is a part of "Enciclopedia de los Municipios de Mexico, Estado de Zacatecas".
Today while driving home I heard this segment on the radio, very interesting and informative on Al Sharpton's genealogy and the importance of documenting and verifying your sources, especially when you find that someone else has done the research.
thanks John for this submission. I like jokes but #2 always was special

The film below is from the Sagrada Mitra at the bishphoric of
Guadalajara and is the same series of marriage films that Luz
Montejano based her book on. Thus I would imagine it would have
similar information, i.e. all of the testimony and evidence and then
Are there specific films for Zacatecas where the dispensation records that are in La Sagrada Mitra can be found? The book is very expensive and not really available as far as I can find. I would like to know if I can order the films the records are taken from from the LDS history center. I'm interested in the Jerez Zacatecas area's since so many early families intermarried. I've done the marriage information records and hey say when they are related but not who that person was 3 or 4 generations ago who was the trunk.
I was reminded about another thing to keep in mind when researching
Guadalajara. The old barrios, or neighborhoods, were made into "colonias,"
so that is another way they divided up the city for census purposes,
Has anyone heard of the story "La Llorona?" I found it in a book, though it
doesn't say which part of Mexico it originated from. Apparently, it is
about a woman who drowns her own children in a river to keep their father

I don't know who added the Casta's paintings but they are wonderful! A real eye opener to the dress and living standards of the day.
I've added a photo to my album (Linda Castanon-Long) of my grandmothers cousin, Juan Jose Mendez in a death photo drawn abt 1923 in Tamazula Jalisco Mexico. It gives an idea of the burial customs and dress of the day at that time.
I tried using the online traslater but got no answer so I'm hoping on of the group can tell me what this means.
The record reads that birth registration was 5 Aug 1886 and birth date was "antier" at 8pm.. does that mean yesterday? So the birthdate would be 4 Aug 1886?

The following is from the Rootsweb Review Newsletter for February 14, 2007:
"Unknown to most Americans, there are very few surviving records concerning World War II veterans--most of them were lost in a storage warehouse fire decades ago. The government has records on servicemen who died during the war, but almost no records on who fought and survived the war".
