As I mentioned to a number of you, I have been working on a book dealing with the historical ethnography of the Tlaltenango Valley and Bolanos Canyon region of Jalisco and Zacatecas and within this context exposing my father's genealogy. The book is now available for purchase. On the website of the printer, there is a preview available. I will make a more extensive preview, including the name index available on this site over the weekend.

The book can be purchased in soft or hard cover at:

Don't be discouraged at the slowness of this type of research. When
I first started I only had my father's birthdate and location and his
parent's names obtained from his fourth wife when he died. He had

Hello Arturo, Thank you so much for your offer to help. I know from what I've read, this a group that is ready and willing to share. Unfortunately, the only solid information I have is what Joseph was so kind to place on file w/the Nuestros Ranchos group. If you can think of anything I might have missed, I'd certainly appreciate it. Thanks again, Alice

SALUDOS A TODOS:
Una vez mas les pido ayuda a mis primos mas sabios! What is Ayuntamiento in the city government? What is the purpose and how does it compare to what we have in the United States. Would there be any reason to view these films and how or what strategies would any researcher need to use and follow. Any and all guidance would be appreciated.

So, Francisca was born Francisca Cabral (father's name) Figueroa (mother's
name). Alberto was born Alberto Martin Del Campo (father's name) Robles

I am new so excuse me, but if I want at least one and possibly a total of six records from a San Diego De Alejandria that is on the film list, whom do I contact? Thanks.

Could anyone advise me on where to find Wills for these two cities? I have not found any microfilms on this information yet. Also, land records? I know some lines I am researching owned land. I have looked at the Fort Wayne Indiana genealogy library, but they did not have many Mexican records.

Hello, I'm Yolanda. I'm working on my motherside of
the family.
My Grandfather Pedro Jauregui was born 1892 at La
Estancia Zacatecas. I believe it's just outside of
Aguascalientes. His father was Rosalio Jauregui.

I forgot to place two more photos in my Martin Del Campo album. They are of
Alberto's mother, Rita Robles Rivera, taken with his sister, Dolores, whom
we know as "Aunt Lola," and the other picture is of Aunt Lola in Los Angeles

Corrine,

If I'm not mistaken in Mexico the wife's surname does not change after marriage. She continues all the days of her life with her name of birth. Say she was born as Maria, Anastacia Gonzales, (hypothetical name) and she marries Juan Flores, she is then Maria Anastacia Gonzales de Flores. If she registers to vote or goes to the doctor or applies for any legal document she is still Maria Anastacia Gonzales the wife of Juan Flores. Her children would have both parent's surnames, first surname is the father's second would be the mother's, thus they would be Maria Flores, Gonzales or Juan Flores Gonzales.

I needed to add that I uploaded the Martin Del Campo photos in the Members
and Group Meetings Album. I had at first made it an album of its own, but
just corrected my mistake and placed it where it is supposed to go. The
