More info on several Los Altos lineages.

Hi
Steven,
    Thank you so much.  I
definitely would not call those " a few bits" of data.  Also, the
Perez info you sent really clarified alot.  I had wondered if my  GGG
Grandfather, Rafael Perez was related to my GGGG Grandmother, Ma. Josefa
Perez.  It appears now that they were both children of  Jose-Bernardo
Perez & Ma. Micaela Gtz. What a tangled web.  There are several of
my lines that tangle in and out.  I guess you know that after researching
as long as you have.  I have several Gutierrez lines too.  I posted
one that is actually two lines in one.  I wouldn't be surprised if they all
hooked up.  I'll post the others as soon as I can.  I know that you
can shed some light in untangling them.  I just know that all of
these Gutierrez have to be the same ones.  
   
You
asked about Jose Juan Gomez,--he was my paternal
grandfather.
 
    I'm currently finishing up
the Jalos bap records (1792-1806),  but I will definitely be requesting
 the San Miguel baptismal

Dear Irma,



I'm so glad you enjoyed the few bits of data I was able to put together for you.  I am currently sending more and these should also be available in the files section of Ranchos.  When I have a chance I'll post a simple overview of my basic lineage and then I'll into more detail.  But even before that, Irma, I'll send you something showing my connection to your families...I mean...our families.  The thing is, we share so many ancestors, I don't even know where to begin.  And just to give you an idea, I have been researching for a little over ten years.  I've gleaned my ancestry not just from microfilm but from the various books that have already been published about Alteño genealogy.



Just before I even got your reply with the answer as to who Ma. Josepha Pérez's parents were, I had already done a little digging and discovered them for myself.  I have tons of indefinite films from every town in Los Altos at my local family history center, including San Miguel el Alto and

Huejucar: Buscando Mis Pentabuelos





This is only for the next time you're at the FHC and have lots of spare time
on your hands. . .otherwise ignor:



If anyone has these films from Huejucar and can possibly copy and scan/mail
them to me I would be indebted. I know I'll eventually get to Huejucar in
ordering films but that might not be for quite a little while. . .in the
mean time I'm very much wondering who my Pentabuelos*** the parents of my
Trastarabuelos*** Rafael and Trinidad are:





Maria Micaela Torres Marquez: parents-Jose Rafael Torres/Maria Trinidad
Marquez



04 Oct. 1830 baptism




=========================



Jose Estevan de Jesus Torres Marquez: parents-Jose Rafael Torres/Maria
Trinidad Marquez



29 Dec 1831 Baptism





thanks,

This too shall pass.............










Valparaiso

 

I think I see the problem. . .you spelled it wrong. . .the correct spelling
is Valparaiso. . .unless we're talking about another place.

  

not sure I'm going to be a lot of help. But here is a map of that area. Go
to the files section under "Aahther Stuff" and click on maps and then click
on the "Good Tepechitlan" map and you'll see Valparaiso. Go to the Family
Search website and do a "place" search. When you do it for Valparaiso you'll
come up with these records:


Title

Registros parroquiales, 1831-1973

Authors

Iglesia Católica. La Purísima (Valparaíso, Zacatecas) (Main Author)

Notes

Microfilme de manuscritos en los archivos de la parroquia y del Obispado

Helping my doughter find her grandfather Tiburcio Luna born August 11,
1885 in Valpariso, Zacatecas, Mexico.  His parents are... Salome Luna
and Monica Fernandez/s.  He married Vicenta Robles, Febuaray 15, 1918 ..
place unknown.  This is all the information that my doughter got from
the Imigration deptment.

I have tried looking in the LDS to no avail.  I haven't seen Valpariso,
Zacatecas at all.  Could Valpariso be in a jurisdiction that I don't
know about?  I need your help.  Please respond to
mgervassi@...

Thank you,
Mary



Los Gómez de Jalostotitlán.

This message is in regard to Irma Gómez's line of descent.  Very, 
very interesting.  Finally I see some Los Altos genealogy.

It seems that you and I, Irma, are both cousins, or should I say, 
primos.  My name is Steven F. Hernández, and my ancestry is also from 
the region of Jalisco known as "Los Altos."  Los Altos has 
historically been an isolated region, closed off from the rest of 
Mexico.  The area was populated by early Spanish and Basque pioneers, 
pobladores, and descendants of the conquistadors.  As a result of 
this high concentration of Spanish blood, alteños are light skinned 
and fairer than other Mexicans.  Alteños live a culture, speak a 
language, and practice a religion that is strongly Spanish/Hispanic.  
But all this is historically well known and documented.

Irma, I have 90% of the surnames in you line.  I have Gómez (which 
used to known as Gómez Hurtado de Mendoza), Arias Maldonado, Macías 
Valadéz, Muñoz (de Hermosillo), Hermosillo, Gutiérrez (de 
Hermosillo)

Another Call for Your Genealogy/Other Thougts



I count 10 folks in the "files" section that have sent in their genealogies.
Also Deena Ortiz has hers listed in the Links section of the site. A few
in the early days of the group send in some of their work in emails and those
people need to resend it to me directly so I can put it in the files section.
After all that that leaves a big pile of  you that haven't sent in your work.




I am no longer subscribing people without them committing in writing that
they are doing their own research and that they are willing to send in their
work. Some that have agreed to this recently have sent me nothing.



I realize that some of you have soooo much work done that you probably don't
know what to send in. Here's my suggestion to get you started:



Just send me in your Straight Line Direct Line genealogy as far back as you
go. Just give me all the Great Grandparents names and their particular information.
. .remember "Location is Everything."  Later when you have time you can add
the very
