Scribes for Zacatecas Civil Records in San Pedro Ocampo

I'm hoping to find information on a Adolfo Martinez B. who was (a judge?) in charge of documenting entries for civil records during 1916 records I found. He was probably the scribe for many years, however, I have not researched how many years he was there. He is father to a Martinez line on my family tree. The Martinez families were merchants and probably well known community Dons.

In some entries there is mention of Hacienda El Carro where the Martinez family lived, not sure what years these were. I looked for information on this Hacienda but did not find specific history of the people living there. I'm looking for information about the people who worked there such as the ranch foremen, servants and so on. Some Martinez folks are identified as mixed.

Rosalio Arellano abt. 1805 - Teul de Gonzales.

I'm hope you can help me. This is a continuation to a previous post. I'm trying to find Rosario Arellano parents. Any insight you can provide would be appreciated.

Rosario Arellano (abt. 1805) was married to Norveta Flores and/or/aka Catalina Flores about 1825 since their son Narciso Arellano's birth is in 1826. I suspect Rosario Arellano was born bat 1805 in Teul de Mohuay, Zacatecas because that is where his son Narciso married his wife Juliana and where Narciso's children were born. I understand families tend to stay in the same pueblos.

Rosario Arellano (my 4x great grandfather) and Catalina Flores's son Refugio Arellano, (my 3 times great grandfather) died in 3/23/1908 in Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico. Narciso Arellano's death certificate indicates hilo legitimo de Rosalio Arellano y Catalina Flores however other grandchildren have Norveta Flores as Paternal Grandmother

I have searched through Ancestry, Family Search, I have reviewed the geneology charts posted here on Nuestrosranchos and have not been able to get past Rosalio Arellano.

This is where those missing Mexico church records are crucial because I feel I then need to make a judgment call on what I find that closely matches my situation. I have a hard time doing that. But perhaps with your insight we can make a more accurate lineage. Any help is much appreciated.

Marty Puentes/NGGS/Retirement

Here is a message I sent along to be posted either entirely or partially on
the NGGS facebook page (you all might want to start talking about the last
two sentences):

One day in 2002 while recovering from a terrible car crash that my wife and
I were in (we both fully recovered), I was fooling around on the internet,
bored, and just decided to google "Puentes". Well lo and behold there was a
hit on "someone" looking for information about my father, his brothers and
my grandfather Julio Puentes from San Jose, CA. That day changed my life. I
contacted the person who posted the question and it turned out to be my
cousin Marty Puentes. I just want to acknowledge publicly that Marty is the
main reason I started doing genealogy which led me to starting the
http://nuestrosranchos.org group in 2003 which gathered people together
researching Jalisco, Zacatecas, and Aguascalientes that eventually led to
the fabulous group: Nueva Galicia Genealogical Society
(http://www.nuevagalicia.org/). Thank you Marty, you have advanced our
family's history in your search for answers to our past.

Marty Puentes is the grandson of my Uncle Martin (dob 1912) brother to my
father, Antonio Puentes (1914) two of 8 children of Julio Puentes (1886) and
Virginia Diaz (1886). Virginia Diaz is in picture one and six of the slide
show (http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/history/article71081497.html). In the
first picture she is sitting next to her mother Antonia Santa Maria (1862)
with my father Antonio on her lap and my uncle Martin to the far left along
with various other Tio's and Tia's. In the pistolero picture you see my
grandmother Virginia sitting with a sibling on her lap but the man holding
the pistola is my Great Grandfather Francisco Diaz (1862) with his mother,
my GG Grandmother, Andrea Torres (1833) to his left. Notice that Antonia
Santa Maria is also holding a pistola (on Francisco's right).

Hello NGGS you all are doing great things in advancing your own genealogical
family history and sparking wide spread interest in OUR rich history via
outlets like: Facebook, http://www.nuevagalicia.org/,
http://www.pbs.org/weta/finding-your-roots/,
http://www.guadalajaradispensas.com, and just via word of mouth from one
interested person to another interested person. Thank you for all your hard
work and all you have done. In the near future I'm going to be retiring from
helm of the http://nuestrosranchos.org group. So don't be surprised if soon
you are asked to do MORE if that group is to be continued. . .

Sincerely,

Descendants of Salvador Clemente De La Torre and Maria Alexandra De la Torre are descendants of Luis Lomellini

I was looking at old post on sharing when i found a comment that I made about hitting a dead end with Salvador Clemente De la Torre and his wife Maria Alexandra De La Torre. This post was originally dated 2009. I reposted it and want to provide an update to it. Through the help of Claudia Casillas, I was able to find not only the normal dispensa but also a diagram explaining the blood relationship of the bride and groom. This find connected me to the work I had done on Miguel Hidlago and that is how I descend from Luis (Lucino?)Lomellini.
It was only through Claudia Casillas sharing her work that I was able to get this information. I had been looking for it for decades with only negative results.

Diego Reynoso family branches

Included below are some links to marriage dispensations and associated family trees recently found that will benefit several Reynoso families that are from Moyahua/Juchipila parishes. I believe it will extend several branches of these Reynoso families.

Proposed linage:
1-Francisco Reynoso/Mariana de Padilla y Davila, was the father of
2-Diego de Reynoso y Padilla Davila, who is the "proposed" father of
3-Sancho Reynoso y Renteria, who was the father of
4-Diego Ysidro Reynoso y Garcia, who was the father of
5-Sancho Reynoso, who was the father of
6-Francisco Reynoso, who was the father of
7-Miguel Reynoso, who married Potenciana Flores.
The rest, I believe is well documented after that in Moyahua/Juchipila parish
records.

I have found some info that looks to support that Sancho Reynoso, was the son of Diego Ysidro Reynoso.

In 1745, Mezquital del Oro, Zacatecas, Mexico; Lorenzo Reynoso married Anna Maria de Aro. Lorenzo listed his parents as Sancho Reynoso and Juana Garsia. Lorenzo stated he was 31 years old in 1745, placing his birth around 1714. He stated in 1745 that he resided in Contitlan, Juchipila, Parish, (Zacatecas, Mexico–very near present day Juchipila/Moyahua villages). Side Note: From what I have found with regard to Juchipila Parish, is that until other parishes were established in the region Juchipila Parish encompassed a much larger area then present day.

Lorenzo was actually born on 20 March 1712, and baptized on 28 Mar 1712 in Jalostotitlan, Jalisco, Mexico. At that time he lived in Papalote, Jalostotitlan, Jalisco, Mexico. In this Mezquital marriage record, he stated he resided in Contitlan, (Juchipila Parish), Mexico. The link for this Lorenzo Reynoso and Ana Maria marriage is shown below:

https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-15212-22303-28?cc=1804458

Also the Jalostotitlan baptism record of Lorenzo Manuel Reynoso y Garsia (2nd entry on right side of page)
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18447-18288-28?cc=1874591

I looked further, and into this Sancho Reynoso/Juana Garsia, and they had 4 other children besides Lorenzo Reynoso born in Jalostotitlan, and they are:
1)-Juan Manual Reynoso (born 1703),
2)-Diego Ysidro (born 1705),
3)-Josepha Efigenia (born 1707),
4)- Margarita de Guadalupe (born 1709), and
5)-Lorenzo (discussed above).

Here are my assumptions, so take with a grain of salt:

1.Diego Reynoso and Margarita Renteria were the parents of Sancho Reynoso (Senior), based on correct age (about 1680). The Reynoso families born in the 1720/1770 time-frame in the
Moyahua/Juchipila areas specifically used the Reynoso y Renteria surname.

2. Sancho Reynoso (born ca 180) was the father of Diego Ysidro Reynoso, born 1705 in Jalostotitlan, who was the right age to be the father of Sancho Reynoso (born circa 1725) and Christoval Reynoso (born circa 1725). Let’s consider this Diego Ysidro Reynoso. Why: He is the correct age to have been the father of both Sancho and Christoval. This Diego Ysidro Reynoso thought enough of the elder Sancho Reynoso, to name his son Sancho after him. We only know of one son of Sancho Reynoso (born circa 1725), Francisco Reynoso (born 1754 in Contitlan, Juchipila. Assuming Sancho was born around 1725-1735, it is the correct time-frame.

Much more is known of Christoval Reynoso, the other presumed son of Diego Ysidro
Reynoso. 7 descendants are known to be children of Christoval Reynoso and Ana Maria
Rubalcaba; and another most likely. The years of birth of the children of Christoval
Range from 1745 to 1771. This also fits nicely into Diego Ysidro Reynoso, born
1705, being married around age 20, presumed to have married around 1725. Sancho
and Christoval both fit in to this scenario.

If this is correct, we have solved many of the Reynoso’s lineages in and around Juchipila
and Moyahua parish.

Christoval Reynoso and Ana Maria Gonsales de Rubalcaba’s known children were:
1)-Pedro Jose Reynoso – born circa 1745 (stated to be the son of Christoval (Sancho's brother)
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18425-76593-34?cc=1874591

2)-Diego Reynoso – born circa 1748 (stated to be son of Christoval Reynoso and brother of
Pedro (noted as son #1) – This Diego married Maria Plasencia
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18417-13625-21?cc=1874591

3)-Alejandro Mariano Reynoso – born circa 1753, known to have been the son of Ana Maria
Gonsales de Rubalcaba in many dispensation trees, but until Christoval Reynoso was found in
the provided link; did not know the husband of Ana. We do now. This Alejandro (there were
many) was the Husband of Maria Paulina Suares de Estrada.

Testament of Juan Montañez

Thank you, Danny, Manny, Paige, Chris and Armando for introducing me to Dropbox. I’ve created a folder "Juan Montañez Testament" and scanned my 2003 transcription of his 1648 testament. An archivist read from the original while I wrote in pencil in a small 6 x 9.5 spiral notebook. There were gaps and missing portions. Look at page four. You can see a small sketch that gives you an idea of the deteriorated condition of the document. There are twelve pages of my transcription. Some of these files are .pdf and others are .jpg. The scanner did this automatically.

I first saw the will on 4 July 1996 and reported on it in the SHHAR Genealogical Journal Vol. IV 1998 compiled by Ophelia Marquez and me. A copy of that research paper is also included in this link.

Hi,

I want to participate in adding missing films. I am interested in the Arandas, Informacion matrimonial. I added the name, not realizing I can't add the information.

How can I go about doing that? You might also want to delete the film titled Marriage information 1791-1797. I can't seem to remove it.

Proof that the parents of Melchora de los Reyes (m. Luis Delgadillo) are Rodrigo de Caravajal and Melchora de los Reyes

To my knowledge, up to this point I have not seen and evidence that the parents of Melchora de los Reyes(m. Luis Delgadillo) are Rodrigo de Caravajal and Melchora de los Reyes. Jaime Holcombe in his Diversas Cartas proposes an ancestry where both Melchora de los Reyes are the same person, married at some point to both Luis Delgadillo and Rodrigo de Caravajal. Jose Luis Vazquez y Rodriguez de Frias correctly states Melchora de los Reyes is the daughter of Melchora de los Reyes and Rodrigo de Carabajal in Chapter 16 of "Genealogia de Nochistlan...", however does not provide any proof. Vazquez's Chapter 79 discusses Rodrigo de Caravajal and Melchora de los Reyes (which I do not have a copy of). With the assistance of the aforementioned works, I believe I have found proof of Melchora de los Reyes parents.

Dispensa #1
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-669W-N1?mode=g&i=263&wc=3J…

1727, Nochistlan: This dispensa is for the marriage of Joseph Diaz to Nicolasa Delgadillo h.l. of Joseph Delgadillo and Juana Yanez. This dispensa is important because is illustrates Melchora de los Reyes (m. Luis Delgadillo) is sister to Juan Rodriguez de Caravajal (important later).

Relationship disclosed:

Melchora de los Reyes..(sibling)..Juan Rodriguez de Caravajal
(m. Luis Delgadillo)..............(m. Ana Maria, indian)
Hernando Delgadillo......(2)......Melchora de los Reyes
(m. Andrea de Rodas)..............(m. Antonio de Villalobos Alcaraz)
Joseph Delgadillo........(3)......Maria Villalobos
(m. Juana Yanez)
Nicolasa Delgadillo......(4)......Joseph Diaz

Parenthesis added by me.

Thus it is proven that Melchora de los Reyes is a sibling to Juan Rodriguez de Caravajal.

Dispensa #2
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-6V9S-89?mode=g&i=314&wc=3J…

1725, Nochistlan: This dispensa is for the marriage of Manuel Rodriguez h.l. Gaspar Rodriguez and Geronima Munoz to Ana Diaz h.l. of Sebastian Diaz and Ana Villalobos. This dispensa is important because is tells us the two children of Juan Rodriguez de Caravajal and that the mother of his children is an indian named Ana Maria.

Relationship disclosed:

Ana Maria, mother of
Gaspar Rodriguez.....(sibling)...Melchora Rodriguez
(m. Geronima Munoz)..............(m. Antonio de Villalobos Alcaraz)
Manuel Rodriguez.......(2).......Ana de Villalobos
.............................................(Sebastian Diaz)
...................................(3)......Ana Diaz

Parenthesis added by me.

Now we know that Juan Rodriguez de Carabajal had two children with an indian woman, Ana Maria.

Marriage record of Melchora de los Reyes and Antonio de Villalobos

This marriage record provides further proof as it states, 19 April 1670 Nochistlan, Antonio de Alcaraz married Melchora de los Reyes hija natural of Juan Rodriguez de Caravajal.

So at this point we know that Juan Rodriguez de Caravajal had two children with an indian woman, Ana Maria, and has a sister, Melchora de los Reyes (m. Luis Delgadillo)

13 June 1674, Nochistlan: Juan de Caravajal, single, h.l. Rodrigo de Caravajal and Melchora de los Reyes marries Ana Maria, widow of Juan Bartholome. Juan Rodriguez de Caravajal gets married for the first time after his natural daughter! Typically this would throw some red flags but his death record sheds some light on the situation.

So now we know Juan Rodriguez de Carabajal's parents are Rodrigo and Melchora, which at least one of them must be Melchora de los Reyes (m. Luis Delgadillo) parents for Juan and Melchora to be siblings.

16 June 1674, Nochistlan: Juan de Caravajal, age more than 70 years, married to Anna Maria, indian. He has two hijo's naturales (3rd to last line).

So Juan dies 3 days after getting married. The two hijo naturales are Gaspar (m. Geronima Munoz) and Melchora (m. Antonio de Villalobos Alcaraz) who we know to be their mother Anna Maria. As Holcombe said "Juan married to ease his conscience"

So there you have it. The proof that the parents of Melchora de los Reyes (m. Luis Delgadillo) are most likely Rodrigo de Caravajal and Melchora de los Reyes. Additional proof can be seen based on the use of the name "Melchora de los Reyes" throughout Luis and Melchora's descendants. Luis and Melchora also had a daughter, Maria (who married Diego Moscoso y Sandoval) who used the surname Rodriguez for two of her children's baptisms.

Morisca-Gertrudis Escoto y Tovar

Hola Miembros , I was cruising through Baptismal Records in Jalostotitlan - 1698-1701 ,1701-1707,1694-1702 Image # 225 . States Gertrudis Escoto y Tovar baptized 13 of 1698 in San Juan de Los lagos -Morisca . Gertrudis was the daughter of Diego Escoto y Tovar and Juana Alvarez de Ulloa y Mendoza . Parents of Diego Escoto y Tovar were Antonio Escoto y Tovar and Ines Ortiz de Rodas. I have no info for Juana Alvarez de Ulloa y Mendoza. My point being Gertrudis was classified as a morisca , I was trying to figure out was this an error or what family line does her African lineage come from ?

Thank you fo time

Record Deciphering Request. New connections Muro/Salas/Arizmendi

Not long ago I was working on finding the parents of Maria de Arizmendi (wife of Juan del Muro (I)). Thanks to “Katy’s Guadalajara Dispensa Index,” an Ordones for Aparicio del Muro in 1731 solves this, but presents new questions.

But first some family tree information:

Aparicio del Muro is the son of Juan del Muro (II) and Antonia de Avila. Antonia de Avila is the daughter of Maria de Chirriaga, but not by her husband Pedro del Muro (II), but by another man as clarified in her 1693 marriage dispensa Found here:

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-6PGH?mode=g&i=225&wc=3J4Q-…

Juan del Muro (II) is the son of Juan del Muro (I) and Maria de Arizmendi. Juan del Muro (I) is also a brother to Pedro del Muro (II) (husband of Maria de Chirriaga).

In the Ordones 1730-1741, on image 404, right page, continued on image 405. Starting here:

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-DN1J-M?mode=g&i=403&wc=3JW…

(Note: The whole document starts from image 258 to 265, then continues from 398 to 412)

The third testigo, Lorenzo Lopez Pichardo, names the maternal grandparents of the “presenta” (Juan del Muro (II)) as Juan de Arizmendi and Maria de la Candelaria Rios (these are the parents of Maria de Arizmendi). He continues by saying that the paternal grandparents of the “presenta” (Juan del Muro (II)) are unknown to him (though I know from my own research that they are Pedro del Muro (I) and Maria de Salas). Instead of paternal grandparents, the said Lorenzo Lopez Pichardo, names Pedro de Salas and his wife Juana de Bonilla, but I do not understand what the document is saying about them.

Can anyone help decipher this part?

A little more information on this couple can be seen in the wiki tree found here:

http://www.wikitree.com/wiki/De_Salas-13

Unfortunately, it does not show any connection to the del Muros.

Who are Pedro de Salas and Juana de Bonilla to Juan del Muro (II)? …His paternal great-grandparents? (if Pedro de Salas is Maria de Salas’ father)...His paternal great uncle? (If Pedro de Salas is Maria de Salas’ brother) … or His adoptive grandparents?

a question regarding records in jocotepec and a marriage record(read body for more info.)

I have been trying my best to help someone trace their ancestral lines in mexico further. Their grandpa's dad side of the family came from jocotepec. as you can see i've been having some difficulty regarding that since many of their ancestors didn't have a consistent last name until the mid/late 1800's.

But i know that two of her ancestors lucas martin and lucia dolores had children in the 1770's and 1780's mainly, but there's one kid born in 1768 which i'm not sure if the child is theirs or belonging to a couple with similar names.
https://familysearch.org/search/record/results?count=20&query=%2Bfather…

the 1768 record in that link above lists a kid for a martin angel and juana lucia. are these people. i also found a marriage record with the names martin angel and juana lucia. but here's the kicker, her ancestors lucas martin and lucia dolores had a son named rafael angel, which is why i'm considering the possibility of martin angel and lucas martin of being the same person, and perhaps juana lucia and lucia dolores being the same person as well.
https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-VVSX-2T?mode=g&i=199&wc=3J…

is there any way i could determine if the marriage record in the link right above, indeed are that said person's ancestors?

Presentación

Hola, soy Ely Márquez, empecé hace 3 años buscando conocer a la familia, pero no he sido constante hasta hoy, y lo poco que he encontrado es que al igual que varios de ustedes (por lo que he leído), del lado paterno, vengo de los Márquez de los Olivos de San Juan de los Lagos, por parte materna, no he encontrado mucho, sé que mi bisabuela (Gutiérrez) nació en Michoacán, y se estableció en Amatitán donde conoció a mi bisabuelo (Ortíz) de ahí ya no sé más.
Me da mucho gusto estar en "Nuestros Ranchos" porque por lo poco que he visto, aquí se aprende mucho, aún no le sé a la página pero estoy tratando.
Gracias por aceptarme.

Moyahua-Juchipila - Christoval Reynoso found as husband of Ana Maria Gonsales de Rubalcaba y Ximenes

Silverio Reynoso y Renteria, Antonio Justo Reynoso y Renteria and Alejandro Mariano Reynoso y Renteria were all known to be the children of Ana Maria Gonsales de Rubalcaba y Ximenes, but it was unknown who her husband was, only that he was a Reynoso y Renteria. A 1847 marriage dispensation tree of Francisco Lopez and Modesta de (H)Aro, listed the Reynoso and Carrillo family as common ancestors (distantly related) of the bride/groom. The Reynoso tree listed Christoval as the head of this tree and sons Silverio and Alejandro shown. This family also used both the Renteria and Reynoso surname at times; and sometimes signed documents as Reynoso y Renteria. These families were from both Moyahua and Juchipila parish areas.
Link:
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-1-18423-31291-93?cc=1874591

It appears this Christoval Reynoso y Renteria is linked back as a son of Diego Reynoso y Renteria by the following tree, as this is the only Christoval Reynoso found and
mentioned in Juchipila and Moyahua record in the circa 1720 time-frame.

Looking for Blas Pimienta married to Lucia Gomez Maeda Jalisco, Mexico

This has been a very solid brick wall for us for nearly four years now. The furthest we can go using baptismal records is 1646 and have no idea where to search from here.

Blas PIMIENTA was married to Lucia GOMEZ Maeda. They had son Joseph Pimienta in May 1646, in Cocula, Jalisco, Mexico. He was baptised 30 May 1646 in Cocula, Jalisco, Mexico. Daughter Josepha Pimienta was was born 1653, was christened Mar 20, 1653 in Cocula, Jalisco, Mexico.

Joseph PIMIENTA was born May 1646 in Cocula, Jalisco, Mexico, was christened May 30, 1646 in Cocula, Jalisco, Mexico. He married Isabel de MEDINA Apr 15, 1671 in Cocula, Jalisco, Mexico, daughter of Franco. Baez de MEDINA and Beatris MENDES. She was born 1651, was christened Jun 19, 1651 in Cocula, Jalisco, Mexico.

Outside of being mentioned in Joseph and Josepha's baptism records there is no information on Blas that we've been able to find. It's possible the Pimientas married in a different state but nothing has come up in searches.
