Research Groups for other states

I'd encourage everyone on Ranchos to Join Jonathans group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mexicanfhr/).
If the groups can work together in anyway I'm all for it. I highly
value Jonathan's contributions and hispanic genealogical knowledge.
Send the group subscription information.

May I make the suggestion of the Mexican FHR group
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/mexicanfhr/).  It is a group that I
started about a year ago, to cover all of Mexico.  There are only 9
members at the moment.  And any one is welcome, to join.  Recently, I
took on a client, who has ancestry, from Santa Rosalia & Carmargo.  So
if there are questions, ask them.  And I will see if I can find an
answer.

Thanks,
Jonathan

yes if your father's father's father's father etc ends up being Joseph
Ramon then your Y-DNA testing would be what you would compare to an
Aranzazu that you know comes from another of Bartolome Aranzazu's male
children that is wearing that name today. Like I said its a long shot
but one that would establish whether or not both my idea or the other
idea someone suggested might be true. If you shared the same Y-DNA then
you'd be back at a brick wall but at least you'd know which surname to
concentrate your research on.

 (as 
Joseph Ramon is my strictly-paternal ancestor) and then find a male 
descendant of Bartolome ARANZAZU who is his descendant strictly down 
the paternal line, i.e. probably any male that has the ARANZAZU last 
name.

That should not be THAT difficult as it is a pretty rare name and 
most likely anyone around El Teul or Tlaltenango who has that name

Help with an orphan

I suppose I would just have to have the DNA test done myself (as 
Joseph Ramon is my strictly-paternal ancestor) and then find a male 
descendant of Bartolome ARANZAZU who is his descendant strictly down 
the paternal line, i.e. probably any male that has the ARANZAZU last

That should not be THAT difficult as it is a pretty rare name and 
most likely anyone around El Teul or Tlaltenango who has that name 
today is descendant from Bartolome or his brother Francisco Xavier.  
A match to either of them would show that I am actually a descendant 
as well, right?  I have already begun mapping the ARANZAZU of 
Zacatecas family tree so I can probably confirm whether the volunteer 
is descendant of these men or not.

What sort of information is kept in the Informacion Matrimonial?  
Bartolome ARANZAZU was married to Juana de ARO in 1752 in Tlaltenango 
and there is a film... Información matrimonial 1742-1753  VAULT INTL 
Film 443846...  There is also a Census... Padrones 1754-1780  FHL

Help with an orphan

This is just a thought - but what if the child left at the door was really "fathered" by Don Bartolome Aranzazu, and the child's mother had no other real alternative - such as she was kicked out of her house, scarred for life, financially unable to care for a child.....

Subject: [ranchos] Help with an orphan

Mi twenty-six times over cousin Rosalinda made a big breakthrough for 
me today looking through films for me.  I had not been able to find a 
link between by fourth-great-grandfather Joseph Ramon ARANZAZU and the 
families in Tlaltenango with that name (where he supposedly was born).  
She made the link but it was not what I expected.  I am posting it here 
so that I can get suggestions as to how to proceed:

he was married before, he was not.  The person

Help with an orphan

Well I really don't know how to proceed. But lets think outside the box
for a second and really reeeeach for straw. Suppose that this orphan
child was only an orphan to cover up an indiscreet pregnancy from an
unmarried sister/prima of Don Bartolome Aranzazu. That was a far reach
wasn't it? Well anyway if you could find an Aranzazu relative from your
Ramon's downline that is currently wearing the Aranzazu name and another
that you know is directly through one of Don Bartolome's other son's you
could do Y-DNA on them to eliminate this ever so slight possibility.
Sorry to offer so little, but was the only thing I could think of.

ps: Also try to find the "Informacion Matrimonial" for Ramon as you
never know but there might be additional clues given. Confirmation
records? Death record?

I some times use Yahoo Mexico for searching for names,
places, relatives, in Mexico, and I've had some
limited success.  Last week I found a doctor in
Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, with the same last surnames as

[Fwd: Castle Garden now online]

thanks Kitty for this free database. Lots of entries for Spain.

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

The Castle Garden Database is now online. You can presently search New York
passenger arrivals from 1830-1892.

http://www.castlegarden.org/

The data reported is Firstname, Lastname, Occupation, Age, Sex, Arrived,
Origin, and Ship. The website says, in part:

CastleGarden.org offers free access to an extraordinary database of
information on 10 million immigrants from 1830 through 1892, the year Ellis
Island opened.... From 1855 to 1890, the Castle was America's first official
immigration center, a pioneering collaboration of New York State and New
York City.

CastleGarden.org is an invaluable resource for educators, scholars,
students, family historians, and the interested public. Currently the site
hosts 10 million records, and support is needed to complete the digitization
of the remaining 2 million records, beginning in 1820, from the original
ship manifests.
