Dear colleagues,

I would like to share my latest historical study: "Los primeros pobladores de Santa María de los Lagos: una aproximación histórica a través de sus listados más antiguos" (The First Settlers of Santa María de los Lagos: A Historical Approach Through Its Earliest Records).

Using a prosopographical framework based on 16th and early 17th-century primary sources, including original registers, Cabildo memorials, and early censuses, this paper traces the rapid transformation of Santa María de los Lagos from a frontier defense outpost during the Chichimeca War into a consolidated landowning elite.

The research highlights the central role of matrilineages and marriage networks in preserving territorial holdings, alongside a quantitative reconstruction of the settlement's U-shaped demographic trajectory during its first four decades.

Estimados colegas:

El día de ayer retomé la investigación sobre un linaje que había dejado en el tintero tras el fallecimiento de mi querido tío Paco Castaños y Cañedo: los Morelos.

Como indicó Paco en sus obras, la cabeza de este linaje en Michoacán es Tomás de Santoyo, vecino de Celaya (también conocido como Tomás de Morelos), registrado como hijo de padres no conocidos, aunque posteriormente se ha argumentado que era hijo natural del regidor Hipólito de Santoyo y de la viuda Gertrudis Morelos (Morelia. Informaciones matrimoniales 1706). En su información matrimonial se consigna que su esposa, Teresa Ortiz de Pantoja, era hija de Francisco Ortiz de Pantoja y de Mariana Ramos de Rojas.

Gracias a las magníficas investigaciones de Héctor Félix Aizcorbe, que tuve el gusto de leer ayer en este foro, hoy sabemos que Francisco Ortiz de Pantoja era hijo del regidor Francisco Ortiz de Pantoja y de Juana García de León. Por su parte, los padres de Mariana Ramos de Rojas fueron Miguel Rico de Rojas y María Ramos, vecinos de Querétaro.

Hasta el momento me ha sido imposible avanzar más allá del regidor Francisco Ortiz de Pantoja. Me interesa consultar si existe alguna relación probada con Juan de Pantoja, regidor de Pátzcuaro, o si se trata de una rama distinta.

A través de Genuspedia dispongo de datos sobre la Casa Pantoja de Toledo, uno de los ocho solares antiguos de dicha ciudad "desde tiempos visigodos", vinculada a los Ortiz de Ayala por el matrimonio toledano de Francisco Pantoja con Catalina Ortiz de Ayala, cuyos padres se afincaron en Madrid. Por la coincidencia de apellidos, he considerado a esta pareja como una hipótesis de trabajo sobre la ascendencia del regidor, si bien hasta ahora el nexo es puramente onomástico y sin ninguna otra conexión.

Agradezco de antemano cualquier noticia o pista documental que puedan aportar.

Erik Andrés Reynoso y Márquez.

Dear Colleagues,

I am not sure if this has been brought to light yet, but I recently came across a 1634 document where the 80-year-old priest Miguel de Ovalle mentions that his uncle Diego Sánchez de Mora, ancestor to many of us, was originally from Ciudad Real (Castilla - La Mancha), the same place of origin as Juan Gutiérrez de Bocanegra.

The Legal Significance of Three Pruebas Plenas in Hispanic Nobiliary Law: The Case of the Reinoso Lineage

In the legal tradition of the Crown of Castile and the wider Iberian Peninsula, demonstrating hidalguía (blood nobility) required navigating a complex system of evidence under the jurisdiction of the Salas de los Hijosdalgo within the Reales Chancillerías (Valladolid and Granada).

Within Spanish nobiliary law (Derecho Nobiliario), proof of status fell broadly into two categories:

1. Tres Actos Positivos (Presumptive Proof): In the absence of definitive judicial sentences, a family could establish noble status by presenting evidence of three consecutive generations exercising privileges exclusive to the noble estate, such as exemption from pechos (personal taxes), holding offices restricted to hidalgos, or serving in military campaigns. While legally valid, actos positivos represented administrative recognition rather than a definitive judicial ruling.
2. Prueba Plena (Full Judicial Proof): A prueba plena represents the highest level of legal certainty in Iberian jurisprudence. It was obtained exclusively through a formal pleito de hidalguía, an adversarial litigation against the Crown fiscal or local municipal councils, culminating in an unappealable sentence (sentencia ejecutoriada) issued by a Royal Chancery.

The Exceptional Character of Three Pruebas Plenas

While obtaining a single Ejecutoria de Hidalguía was an arduous process requiring exhaustive witness testimony (probanzas de testigos), parish records, and generational verification back to the solar conocido, possessing three distinct pruebas plenas is extraordinarily rare in Spanish and Spanish-American genealogy. In extensive archival work on New Spain lineages, one can count on the fingers of one hand how many families achieved this level of documented legal recognition.

This accomplishment places the Reinoso lineage among an elite tier of New Spain families, alongside distinguished houses such as the Padilla Dávila, Núñez de Villavicencio, Temiño, Ruiz de Esparza, and the Villegas (Pessanha), that not only proved their Peninsular origin and legitimacy beyond question, but also accumulated multiple full judicial proofs of their hidalguía.

In the case of the Reinoso (Reynoso) lineage of Puebla de los Ángeles and Nueva Galicia leading to Boadilla de Rioseco, the family’s noble status rests upon a triple judicial foundation granted by the Real Chancillería de Valladolid:

• Two Reales Ejecutorias de Hidalguía (definitive royal writs certifying nobility following formal litigation): REGISTRO DE EJECUTORIAS,CAJA 196,25, REGISTRO DE EJECUTORIAS,CAJA 608,12 + REGISTRO DE EJECUTORIAS,CAJA 1243,14 (Plus, I acquired certified copy of the original that has the coat of arms of 1572 and the portraits of the family)
• One Process Ad Perpetuam Rei Memoriam (a formal judicial proceeding designed to preserve perpetual legal memory of noble lineage and rights): SALA DE HIJOSDALGO,CAJA 1384,4

It is important to clarify that this triple foundation accounts strictly for my direct line connecting New Spain to Boadilla de Rioseco. If collateral and blood-related branches of the Reinoso house are included, the total number of legal proofs increases significantly as Lords of Autillo de Campos, encompassed within additional Reales Ejecutorias and extensive dossiers in Military Orders and noble corporations across El Puerto de Santa María, Seville, Guadalajara, Ronda, León, Toledo and beyond.

In the legal framework of early modern Spain, a single Ejecutoria de Hidalguía sufficed to prove hidalguía de sangre beyond legal challenge. The accumulation of three pruebas plenas provides an important level of institutional validation.

Bridging Peninsular Proofs to New Spain and Modern Knightly Recognition

For families established in the Americas, the primary challenge was maintaining an unbroken, legally documented chain of generation-by-generation legitimacy connecting overseas branches to their Peninsular ejecutorias.

The Reinoso lineage achieves this continuity through supplementary primary-source documentation I found, traced across generations in both San Francisco del Rincón and the Philippines. This cross-continental documentation verifies every filial link, ensuring that the legal force of the Chancillería de Valladolid rulings applies directly to the New Spain branch.

The definitive culmination of this documentary proof is marked by my formal admission and investiture as a knight into one of the most reputable Orders of Knighthood in Spain. Admission into Spain's premier noble corporations requires an exhaustive nobility audit (expediente de pruebas), a process that took a long time to complete, evaluating legitimacy (where an unbroken legitimate line is strictly mandatory), blood purity and hidalguía. My acceptance into this Order serves as formal contemporary validation that the historical pruebas plenas of the Reinoso lineage remain legally recognized at the highest level of modern nobiliary jurisprudence.

I want to share this finding. It's a story about Maria Carrillo Davila found in: Matrimonios 1690-1695, 1707, 1709 Page 566.
It is the marriage of Joseph Ramon and Josepha Cid Caldera. Marriage dispensation requested February 7, 1690, in Xerez, Zacatecas.
Dispensation for fourth-degree consanguinity.—
Joseph Román, resident of the City of Zacatecas, son of unknown parents, having been abandoned at the home of Don Joseph Román de Cabrera; with Josepha Sid, a 19-year-old Spaniard born and raised in the Villa de Xerez de la Frontera;
parents: Pedro Sid Caldera (Spaniard Josepha Sid; and Juana Rosales).
The prospective groom was informed of the kinship and asked that the matter be kept secret, given that Doña María Carrillo de Avila—who is said to have been his mother and is now deceased—had been a woman of high social standing and had been married to a prominent man who is still alive.
Declaration of Doña María de Arellano, a 50-year-old Spaniard and widow of Captain Don Pedro Carrillo Dávila:
She stated that Doña María Carrillo; now deceased; told her that while living at the *estancia* known as San Diego—within the jurisdiction of Pánuco—at her mother's house, she had become pregnant & despite her reputation as a maiden; and that, under the pretext of illness, she was taken to the City of Zacatecas to the home of Joseph de Román Cabrera, where Joseph Román; the prospective groom was born; and that the grandparents of the prospective couple—Don Pedro Carrillo Dávila and María Carrillo—were first cousins. Definition of the kinship:

Don Pedro Carrillo Dávila and Juan Carrillo Dávila were brothers; Pedro fathered María Carrillo, and she was the mother of Pedro Sid Caldera & father of the prospective bride.

I used Google translation to English so it may not be accurate. Who was the prominent husband of Maria Carrillo who was still alive? I am confused on the different Carrillos with the same names. There were two Maria Carrillo De Avilas closely related; maybe more.

Hello all!

I'm trying to untangle the relationship between three individuals: Joaquín Gómez, Gertrudis Gómez, and Antonio Gómez. WikiTree currently presents them as siblings—the children of an Unknown Gómez. The proposed relationships appear to be based primarily upon two dispensas from 1798 and 1780.

Gertrudis Gómez appears in both dispensas.

The first dispensa, dated November 1798, concerns the marriage of José Mariano Ysas and María Francisca Gómez. It gives the following relationships:

Gertrudis Gómez, hermana de Antonio Gómez
José Ysas, primo hermano de Gregorio Gómez
Andrés Ysas, primo segundo de Vicente Gómez
Pretenso José Mariano Ysas, primo tercero de María Francisca Gómez

The Gertrudis Gómez mentioned here is identified as the Gertrudis Gómez who married Ignacio de Isassi sometime before the 8 May 1710 baptism of their first documented child, Juan Antonio de Isassi.

Her purported brother, Antonio Gómez, is identified as Antonio Gómez, son of Gaspar Gómez and Magdalena de Gutiérrez AKA de Ayala AKA del Vargas. Antonio was baptized on 25 August 1683 in Lagos. His padrino was Juan de Isassi—the apparent father of Ignacio de Isassi according to the 1676 Padron, Gertrudis Gómez's husband.

A separate 1709 dispensa confirms Antonio Gómez's marriage to his first cousin once removed, María Gómez. Their first documented son Gregorio Gomez (b. 23 Nov 1710), mentioned in the 1798 dispensa, was born the following year in 1710.

According to this same 1709 dispensa, María Gómez was the daughter of Joaquín Gómez—Antonio's first cousin—and Juana de Isassi, who was herself the daughter of Juan de Isassi. Thus, Juan de Isassi was both Antonio's baptismal sponsor and the grandfather of Antonio's wife.

The problem arises with the next dispensa, dated 1780, concerning the marriage of Juan Javier Isassi and María Guadalupe Gómez. It states that the couple was related in the third and fourth degrees of consanguinity and presents the following lineage:

1. Gertrudis Gómez — hermanos — Joaquín Gómez
2. Cristóbal Ysasi — primos hermanos — Marcial Gómez
3. Juan Xavier Ysasi — primos segundos — Juana Phelipa Gómez
4. María Guadalupe Gómez

This dispensa appears to identify Gertrudis Gómez and Joaquín Gómez as hermanos.

However, that creates an apparent impossibility if the relationships established by the other evidence are correct. If Gertrudis and Antonio were siblings, as stated in the 1798 dispensa, Joaquín cannot also have been Gertrudis's brother, because her established brother Antonio married María Gómez, the daughter of (his first cousin) Joaquín Gómez and his wife Juana de Isassi.

The Joaquín Gómez in the 1780 dispensa appears to be the same Joaquín mentioned in the earlier 1709 dispensa. Marcial Gómez was the son of Joaquín Gómez and Juana de Isassi. We are descended from both Gertrudis and Joaquín, and, as far as we can determine, both of those lines are otherwise very securely documented.

Likewise, The Gertrudis Gómez mentioned in the 1780 dispensa is the same person as the Gertrudis mentioned in the 1798 document. Her son, the Cristobal Ysas mentioned in the 1780 dispensa was baptized 28 May 1720, and referred to in that record as the son of Ignacio de Isassi and Gertrudis Gómez.

This leads to my question:

Would it be reasonable to conclude that the author of the 1780 dispensa made an error when identifying Gertrudis Gómez and Joaquín Gómez as hermanos, and that they should instead have been identified as primos hermanos?

That interpretation appears to be the only way I can reconcile all of the evidence presently available. It is also worth noting that the 1780 dispensa was prepared many decades—and likely more than a century—after the births of Gertrudis and Joaquín, meaning that the person preparing the relationship chart may have been relying upon older second-hand information or testimony that was itself imperfect.

-Under this interpretation, the current WikiTree reconstruction would also need to be revised. Rather than treating Gertrudis Gómez, Antonio Gómez, and Joaquín Gómez as the children of a single "Unknown Gómez," the evidence would instead suggest two separate Gómez siblings:

1. Gaspar Gómez, father of:

• Gertrudis Gómez
• Antonio Gómez

2. Juana Gómez, sister of Gaspar Gómez and mother of:

• Joaquín Gómez

Under this reconstruction, Gertrudis and Antonio would indeed be siblings, as stated in the 1798 dispensa, while Joaquín would be their first cousin rather than their brother.

This would also explain Antonio Gómez's marriage to María Gómez, the daughter of Joaquín Gómez and Juana de Isassi. María would have been Antonio's first cousin once removed, precisely as indicated in the 1709 dispensa.

If this reconstruction is correct, then the 1780 dispensa appears to contain the problematic statement. Gertrudis Gómez and Joaquín Gómez should presumably have been identified as primos hermanos, rather than hermanos.

That interpretation would reconcile all of the known dispensas and the documented family relationships. It would also require the current WikiTree profile for the "Unknown Gómez" parent to be separated into two individuals: Gaspar Gómez, father of Gertrudis and Antonio, and his sister Juana Gómez, mother of Joaquín Gómez.

Of course, I don't want to dismiss a contemporary or near-contemporary genealogical statement simply because it conflicts with my current reconstruction. Before assuming that the word hermanos was an error, I would greatly appreciate hearing how others would evaluate these dispensas and the conflicting relationships they present.

Would you consider this sufficient reason to treat the relationship in the 1780 dispensa as a likely scribal or genealogical error, or are there other possible explanations that I may be overlooking?

(I tried to link all sources within the text, let me know if I missed anything.)

Thank you!

Dear colleagues,

I do not know whether any of you have already verified the following (if this has already been established, I apologise for not being aware of it, but I discovered two days ago that Pedro Fernández de Balduz and María Gabay are my ancestors): Pedro Fernández de Vaulús’s surname was in fact BALDUZ, a Navarrese surname which is not particularly widespread, but which still exists today. Indeed, the first mayor of Pamplona after the restoration of democracy in Spain was a BALDUZ.

I have also found the following information concerning Pedro’s parents, from which it can be inferred that:

• The paternal surname was BALDUZ and the maternal surname CIORDIA. The distinction between C/Z and S was significant, as the former had a different sound from the latter. This distinction disappeared in the American territories, since many of the immigrants came from Andalusia, where, for the most part, C/Z and S were not distinguished in pronunciation.
• Pedro Fernández de Balduz the Elder had died before 13 March 1557.
• Juana de Ciordia was still alive on 22 December 1572.
• Pedro Fernández de Balduz the Elder was a lawyer before the Royal Audiencias.
• Pedro the Younger had a brother named Antonio, who was also a lawyer before the Royal Audiencias, like his father. Antonio was married to María de Suescun and had died before 6 July 1582. Pedro also had a sister named Graciosa, the wife of Miguel del Río, who had died before 27 June 1582, and another sister named Ana, who was married to a Licenciado Jiménez.
• Pedro the Elder inherited property from, or was the heir of, at least two priests: Miguel de Balduz (his brother? uncle?) and Juan Ruiz de Rada.
• The family was hidalgo (i.e. of the minor nobility), since Antonio, Pedro the Younger’s brother, brought a legal action, among other reasons, because he had been called a “pechero”—that is, a person liable to pay ordinary taxes, as opposed to a hidalgo who enjoyed tax privileges.
• This was therefore a family of hidalgos of some social standing, since both Pedro the Elder and his son Antonio were lawyers before the Royal Audiencias, while another of Pedro’s sisters was married to a Licenciado, indicating a certain level of education and social status.

Hello, everyone!

I have a question concerning ancestor Ana de Quesada (born c. 1615, died before 22 November 1660), who married Miguel Hernández Rubio.

WikiTree suggests that her parents may have been Juan López de Lizalde and Ana de Quesada. Is there any evidence supporting this possible identification beyond her approximate date of birth and the fact that she is referred to as “Ana de Mendoza” in the marriage record of her daughter, María Rubio?

I'm trying to sort this out because we appear to have three ancestors named Ana de Quesada, all from Lagos and all living within approximately the same time period. It is becoming a bit confusing!

The three women are:

• Ana de Quesada, married c. 1634 to Miguel Hernández Rubio
• Ana de Quesada, whose first proven child was born in 1649 (Pedro b. 4 Nov 1649, padrinos: Pedro Gómez Portugal y Isabel Ortiz). This Ana de Quesada is possibly about ten years younger than the other two Anas or perhaps this was her second marriage; she married Gaspar Gómez de Portugal (identified as "Gómez de Portugal" in the 14 Nov 1674 marriage record of their son "Nicolàs Gómez de Portugal," Gaspar is possible, but unproven son of Pedro Gómez de Portugal and Isabel Ortiz de Anda)
• Ana de Quesada (daughter of María Alonso), married Juan de Saavedra (son of Juan de Saavedra) on 27 July 1633 (padrinos: Lorenzo López de Padilla y sumuger Ana de Nava)

I would greatly appreciate any thoughts, documentation, or reasoning that might help distinguish these three women and clarify the possible parentage of the Ana de Quesada who married Miguel Hernández Rubio.

(Related note: I'm wondering if the last two individuals named Ana de Quesada on the above list are perhaps the same individual with multiple marriages.)

I'm still trying to piece this family together!

(I linked documents from family search within the above text.)

Dear Community Members,

Anyone who has researched family history on platforms like FamilySearch, Ancestry, MyHeritage, or Geni understands the double-edged sword: while they provide access to digitized records, they have also spread widespread and massive errors, mislinked namesakes, and unverified user trees. Accepting automated "hints" without consulting primary records has led many to build ancestral lines on shaky ground, to say the least.

To provide a refined, reliable alternative grounded in authentic archival sources, I have established two key resources through Genuspedia.com:

1. Genuspedia.com: Exclusive Primary Source Archives

For years, I have dedicated myself to transcribing, indexing, and analyzing original 16th to 18th-century manuscripts, including notary protocols, nobility proofs, inquisitorial files, and prenuptial investigations, from the historical repositories of Spain, New Galicia, New Spain, Guatemala, the Viceroyalty of Perú, USA, Portugal and the Bishopric of Michoacán.

The vast majority of these historical records are not digitized and cannot be found on major commercial platforms.

To answer continuous research inquiries efficiently and affordably, I gathered this primary source data into Genuspedia.com through detailed and precise abstracts designed to save researchers countless headaches. Through an accessible subscription model, any researcher can independently search and identify thousands of unpublished records and proven lineages found in no other index on the web. Furthermore, the repository grows continuously: every month we add thousands of newly cataloged manuscripts, with full progress updates published on our platform blog.

2. EK Geneascore™: Lineage Reliability Auditor (100% Free)

To help researchers clean up their data and verify every generation, I developed EK Geneascore™, a free web utility designed to audit the strength of your documentary evidence.

Featuring an elegant and intuitive interface, the system evaluates attached primary sources, calculates a Lineage Confidence Index, and provides a visual heatmap showing precisely where your lineage is secure and where further proof is needed. Once completed, it generates a downloadable, presentation-ready PDF audit report.

You can run a free audit anytime at: geneascore.genuspedia.com

I invite you to test your lineages and the corpus of our ancestors on EK Geneascore, share them here and explore the collections at Genuspedia.com. I think it is time to replace internet guesswork with the undeniable authority of original archival records.

Sincerely,

Erik Andrés Reynoso y Márquez

Estimados miembros de la comunidad:

Quienes hemos investigado la historia familiar en plataformas como FamilySearch, Ancestry, MyHeritage o Geni conocemos bien su doble cara: aunque facilitan el acceso a registros digitalizados, también han propagado una cantidad enorme de errores, homónimos mal vinculados y árboles colaborativos sin sustento documental. Aceptar las "sugerencias" automáticas sin consultar la fuente primaria ha llevado a muchos a construir líneas genealógicas sobre bases frágiles, por decir lo menos.

Para ofrecer una alternativa seria, transparente y respaldada en archivos reales, he desarrollado dos soluciones a través de Genuspedia.com:

1. Genuspedia.com: Documentación exclusiva de fuentes primarias

Durante años me he dedicado a la revisión, transcripción, catalogación y análisis de manuscritos originales de los siglos XVI al XVIII, protocolos notariales, probanzas de hidalguía, expedientes inquisitoriales e informaciones matrimoniales, procedentes de los archivos de España, Nueva Galicia, Nueva España, Guatemala, el Virreinato del Perú, Estados Unidos, Portugal y el obispado de Michoacán.

La inmensa mayoría de estos registros históricos no están digitalizados ni se encuentran disponibles en las grandes plataformas comerciales.

Para responder a las constantes consultas de investigación de forma ágil y económicamente accesible, he reunido esta información documental en Genuspedia.com a través de extractos detallados y precisos que le quitarán el dolor de cabeza a mucha gente. A través de un modelo de suscripción accesible, cualquier investigador puede explorar e identificar directamente miles de registros notariales inéditos y filiaciones probadas que no existen en ningún otro índice de la web. Además, el repositorio crece de forma continua: cada mes incorporamos miles de manuscritos recién catalogados, cuyos avances pueden consultarse en el blog de la plataforma.

2. EK Geneascore™: Auditoría de certeza documental (100% Gratuito)

Como complemento para ayudar a los investigadores a depurar sus datos y verificar cada generación, he creado EK Geneascore™, una herramienta web gratuita diseñada para auditar la solidez de sus evidencias documentales.

Mediante una interfaz clara e intuitiva, el sistema evalúa las fuentes primarias aportadas, calcula un Índice de Confianza de Linaje y genera un mapa de calor visual que muestra exactamente en qué antepasado existe certeza y dónde se requiere mayor investigación. Al finalizar, permite descargar un dictamen de auditoría en formato PDF listo para su presentación.

Pueden realizar una auditoría gratuita en cualquier momento en: geneascore.genuspedia.com

Los invito a auditar sus líneas de investigación y el acervo de nuestros antepasados en Geneascore, a compartir sus resultados aquí y a explorar los fondos documentales de Genuspedia.com. Creo que ha llegado el momento de reemplazar la especulación de internet por la autoridad incontestable de los documentos originales de archivo.

Atentamente,

Estimado Erik,

Hace algunos años publicaste un post sobre Hernán Flores y su ascendencia (o posible ascendencia). En alguna parte de tu publicación mencionas al linaje Flórez-Osorio y a los vizcondes de Quintanilla de Flórez.

En la primera mitad del siglo XVII vivió en celaya Diego Flórez de Robles Osorio, nacido en Valdepeñas alrededor de 1600, hijo de Francisco Flórez-Osorio y de doña Francisca de Cuéllar. No he podido encontrar información más allá de su lugar de nacimiento (bastante retirado de Quintanilla de Flórez) y los nombres de sus padres. He querido suponer que está relacionado con los ancestros del primer vizconde, pero no lo he podido probar. Parece ser que el primer señor de Quintanilla de Flórez fue el primero en apellidarse Flórez-Osorio, como hijo de Francisco Flórez García de Ríjoles y de doña Ana Osorio, señora de Cobrana Dentro de tus investigaciones ¿te has topado con algunos Flórez-Osorio que pudiesen haber marchado a Valdepeñas?

Diego es ancestro de muchas personas en la Nueva Galicia a través de su hija doña Ana Flórez de Bustos quien, en segundas nupcias, casó con don José de Quijas y Escalante, quien fuera alguacil mayor del Real y Minas de Sierra de Pinos y miembro de una de las familias más importantes de esa región en el siglo XVII.

Te estaré muy agradecido por cualquier luz que me puedas aportar al respecto.

Recibe un cordial saludo,

Héctor Félix Aizcorbe
