Dear Marge,

My great-great-grandfather Antonio Frias Jasso moved to Tepic in 1848,
shortly after my great-great grandmother Refugio Ruiz de Esparza died in
Aguascalientes while giving birth to my great-grandmother Josefa Frias

In visiting with them one day my father told me that he found his fathers birth certificate and baptismal cert. from mexico. So my question to you is

Hello Everyone!

I wondered if anyone knew where Chupadero or Chupaderos is? Its the first time I have found it in my family history. I found it in the Baptisimo records for San Jose, Ojuelos de Jalisco. Is it in Zacatecas, Jalisco or San Luis Potosi?

Hi,

I'm new to nuestros ranchos so I hope I am writing to the correct address and in the correct language (if I'm not I apologize).

I've been working in my family history for 3 years now but mainly in Yucatán and Galicia from where my father's family came from.

My Garcia line ends at 1800 at Don Theodoro Garcia husband of Dionicia de Calvillo. I have a baptism for one of there daughters of whom i descend. I descend from 3-4 of their kids. I need to order the baptism so i can get the line to the 1770's.

Hello everybody. It's been a long time since I posted a message on the group. It's been extremely busy. Anyways, I'm just writing to announce (y presumir) that I just added a new generation to my family tree. My daughter Natalie Itzel Apodaca was born on October 11, 2007 in Winston-Salem, NC. She weighed 7 lbs and 1.6 ounces, and measured 20 inches. My wife and I are so happy! Well, I just thought about writing it in this forum, even though there are lots of new members since the last time I posted a message and most haven't read me before.

Welcome to the group Hope.

Your message caught my interest because I started my research in the same
parrish of Ixtlahuacan del Rio. Both of my parents were baptized there. I
recognized the names of all the towns you mention as well as the surnames,

Hello, I am Hope Gonzalez Martin. I am first generation Mexican American, my parents were both born on the Rancho Buena Vista, Jalisco, as were many of my grandparents and relatives. I am concentrating on my Father's family. I have been able to trace my grandparents back to my gggg grandfather Jose Gertrudis Gonzales. I have used the local library of the LDS to obtain copies of birth,christening and marriage recordings. I think my gggg grandfather Jose Gertrudis was from Spain, the earliest recording I have of him is that he was a witness at my ggggg grandparent marriage in 1802 in the town of Tacotlan, Jal.

Hello Everyone!

Does anyone have the batch numbers for Births for la Iglesia San Bautista, San Juan de los Lagos and for San Miguel el Alto, Jalisco with the years starting at 1882 to 1900.

Thank you for any help!

Regarding the use of informacion matrimonial records: I feel obligated to point out to new researchers that occasionally these may contain questionable or inaccurate information. In other words, don’t believe everything you read. Ages are not always accurate, people are not necessarily born in the place stated, and a “parent” may actually be a stepparent, or the groom (or bride) is someone’s hijo/a natural, raised in ignorance of this fact.

Hello Everyone!

On the list of films to ask for from San Juan de los Lagos there are different choices for marriage.
I just wonder what is the difference between them. Does one have more info then another?

I know I have gone out there with this question before but our membership has grown quite a bit over the last year and so I will ask once again to see if I get any takers...

Are there any members out there who have programming experience, particularly PHP/MySQL that would like to participate in the technical maintenance of the site?

Hi Joseph

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you on the Banuelos question. These Banuelos start in the late 1700's and it's only a small portion in the Colotlan area. I know your cousin Andy was working on this line a few years ago. These are my cousin, Dave's line....the same primo that is related to you through the Tafoya's and Maldonado's. Dave and I are related 10+ times in Nueva Galicia. It's amazing how just finding one ancestral line into the Romo de Vivars, Tiscarenos, Lomelins, Ruiz de Esparza's, Rubalcava's....etc and one becomes related many times over with someone else. It's mind-boggling at times.

This weekend I was reading a reprint of the Conquest of California and New Mexico, by
James Madison Cutts nephew of Dolly Madison.
He has a page on the Mixed races of Mexico that I thought was very interesing and decided to share.
