Does anyone know why we can't access the 1930 Mexico census on familysearch?
As I have shared in other media, a Toribio Hernández de Arellano from Salamanca is documented, whose brother Sebastián initiated litigation concerning his nobility on May 15, 1557. Following Sebastián's death in 1568, his widow and children continued the legal proceedings. Significantly, the presence of the Sánchez surname within their lineage may account for its recurrence among Toribio's immediate descendants.
Sebastián Hernández de Arellano "El Viejo" was a resident of the parish (colación) of San Isidro in Salamanca. He held estates (hacendado) in the municipalities of Villares de la Reina, Castellanos de Moriscos, and Villamayor. He initiated a lawsuit to assert his noble status (hijodalgo) after being appointed to the position of procurador, an office typically associated with commoners (pecheros), which he argued was incompatible with his noble standing.
The relevant legal file (Sala de Hijosdalgo. Caja 0774.0035. Real Chancillería de Valladolid) records testimony stating that Sebastián was married to Isabel Rodríguez and was the father of Antonio, Jerónimo, Sebastián "El Mozo", and Luisa (PARES | Archivos Españoles, to request the file, follow the link and email the Real Chancillería de Valladolid).
His parents were identified as Sebastián Hernández (arrendador), and Águeda Sánchez, both of whom were described as being of noble origin.
His paternal grandfather was Luis Hernández, a resident of Santiuste street in Salamanca who also maintained a residence in Villamayor. In both jurisdictions, he was exempt from taxation due to his "notorious nobility" (notoria hidalguía) and held the offices of sexmero and alcalde de la Santa Hermandad. Luis Hernández was married to Isabel Sierra.
His great-grandfather was Marcos Hernández, a doublet-maker (jubetero) married to Francisca Sánchez, both residents of Salamanca. Contemporary witnesses noted that they comported themselves in the "manner of nobles and dressing as such" (hábito y maneras de hidalgos). Marcos Hernández was of Vizcaíno origin and was sometimes referred to as Marcos Vizcaíno.
Sebastián Hernández de Arellano "El Viejo" had several siblings: Catalina Sánchez de Arellano (also known as Catalina Rodríguez de Arellano), who was married to Juan Rodríguez, syndic (síndico) of the monastery of San Francisco; María Sánchez de Arellano, married to Andrés González; Francisco Hernández de Arellano and Toribio Hernández de Arellano. This Toribio coincides in chronology, geographical association, and patronymics with the individual of the same name, though a definitive identification cannot be asserted without further evidence, such as his last will and testament from Nueva Galicia. It is documented that a Toribio Hernández de Arellano departed for the Indies in 1549 (PARES, having obtained a license issued in Valladolid by officials of the Casa de la Contratación in Seville) and that he is named in a partition of inheritance (hijuela) in Salamanca alongside his siblings. These individuals constitute the known members of the Hernández de Arellano family from Salamanca.
Notably, the document in question omits any reference to the origin of the Arellano toponym. However, I have a hypothesis that I am currently working on.

Hello everyone,
I was organizing and going over some documents I have. One of these I came across had some information on Alonso Cornejo, which is titled Familia Paterna y Materna de Sor Juana: hallazgos documentales, by Guillermo Scmidhuber of the University of Guadalajara. He delves into the Cornejo family, specifically Alonso Cornejo.
A Cristóbal Joseph Gomez Cornejo, on 10 June 1758 solicited documents of relation in reference to the Cornejo Ramirez family. It references a document from the 18th of November, 1676 that was prepared for the family of Joseph Cornejo Ramirez. The author notes a petition which deals with the genealogy of the Cornejo family. In said document, a witness testified that Capt. Fernando Gordíbar Osorio was the paternal grandfather of said Joseph Cornejo, for which this information is provided, and he (Gordíbar Osorio) was a descendent of the first conquistadores. On p.66 he states, “Existe un documento de ‘Filiación’ referente a los Cornejo Ramírez que comprende 85 folios probatorios de ser cristianos viejos y de su limpieza de sangre; fue solicitado por Christóbal Joseph Gómez Cornejo el 10 de junio de 1758, en Jalostotitlán, Nueva Galicia.” It adds, “la petición fue concedida y se preparó la copia notarial de varios documentos de la familia de Joseph Cornejo Ramírez, primo de Juana Inés, que establecían la genealogía de sus progenitores para lograr contraer matrimonio. El documento copiado lleva la fecha de 20 de noviembre de 1676, y varios testigos afirman que don Diego Ramírez y doña Inés de Brenes vivieron en Sanlúcar de Barrameda, en el pozo de Marquillos (de quienes partió la estirpe mexicana, fueron los bisabuelos de Juana Inés y sus primos). Con fecha del 18 de noviembre de 1676 acude el y pobladores de este Reino de Nueva España, que y cargos de Justica y Guerra, que ejercieron con primer testigo: Juan Caballero, maestro de cirugía, y testifica que “el Capitán Fernando Gordíbar Osorio, abuelo paterno del susodicho Joseph Cornejo, por quien se hace esta información, fue hijo y descendiente de los primeros conquistadores pasaron a él y sirvieron a su Majestad a su costa y mención en la conquista de este Reino con sus armas y caballos, por lo que fueron ocupados por lo señores excelentísimos Virreyes de ella, en puestos toda rectitud y puntualidad” (Folio 10).”
The publication also notes baptisms of some Alonso Cornejo’s children. On p.74 it discusses the baptism of a daughter named Micaela with woman named Francisca Rodriguez (not his known wife Juana Inés Ramirez de Santillana). The author thinks it could be a second wife. This was recorded on 23 September 1652. I was previously unaware of a Francisca Rodriguez and daughter Micaela. I found the document on Family Tree and attached it to Alonso Cornejo.
I have added the above mentioned docs in my files. There is so much more to discover about Alonso. I hope to also find more information on Fernando Gordíbar Osorio as well, who I have not been able to find much on.

Thank you,
Edward
is for a marriage of Gabriela Alvarez and her parents are listed as Jose Maria Alvarez (in the parenthesis I need help understanding, something like "quien ante mi presto el consentimierrto necesario) and Gertrudis Orozco. . . .
My Spanish is not sufficient to understand what the priest is saying within the parenthesis so any help understanding what is being said here would be very much appreciated.
thanks,
Joseph
Dear all,
While searching for the well-knowned couple Pedro Nieto and Josefa Corona from Pinos, I noticed that the archives of Bizkaia "Archivo Histórico Foral de Bizkaia" mentioned in their website having the following document : "Probanza de hidalguía y limpieza de sangre de Josefa Corona, hija de Cosme López y Catalina Corona, realizada en el año 1646 que incluye:
Privilegio Real dado por el Rey Carlos I a favor de Manuel Monje concediendo un escudo de armas por las labores desarrolladas en la conquista y pacificación de la ciudad de Méjico y de Nueva España."
In the same link (https://apps.bizkaia.eus/ARIT/ARITSVisualizarFichaDocumento?seccion=8&e…), you can see that another document is mentioning "Josefa Corona, esposa de Pedro Nieto".
The time and location matches with our Josefa Corona and I wondered if anyone had ever came accross this lead ?
Kind regards,
Tristan

Quiro encontrar información de mi abuelito en lado de mi padre. Arnulfo Chavez Godinez, mi abuelito era regalado a un señor soltero que era conocido como Leon Casillas en la sierra cerca los otates, la troja, y la Sierra.
Cuenta la historia que una pareja tenía dos hijos pequeños. El mayor murió joven (de 2 a 6 años). Entonces se llevaron al niño, mi abuelo "Arnulfo Chávez Godínez", y recorrieron los ranchos intentando dar al menor en adopción.
Un hombre soltero conocido como "Don León" o León Casillas adoptó a Arnulfo cuando tenía entre 3 días y 3 años.
Supuestamente, Don León era un hombre con una nariz grande y cicatrices de acné en el rostro.
Me gustaría encontrar más información en la familia que regaló a mi abuelito o en el señor que lo crió como su propio niño.
I'm looking for the parents of Joseph Padilla and his wife María Eusebia Lópes de Lara. They probably married before June of 1734 in either Jalisco or Guanajuato.
Joseph Padilla, noted as born in Cuarenta, Jalisco (date unknown) and died before 25 Jun 1746. He is the first husband of María Eusebia Lópes de Lara (born c1715 probably in León, Guanajuato).
I believe, but cannot yet prove, María Eusebia Lópes de Lara is the daughter of Donato López de Lara (b. c1685 & buried 30 Oct 1751 in León, Guanajuato) and Agueda Juliana de Soto (Sotomayor y Aguilar?).
María Eusebia Lópes de Lara (c1715 León?)
1st marriage: bef. June 1734? Joseph Padilla b. Cuarenta, Jalisco d. bef. 25 Jun 1746
1.1 Aguedas Juliana Padilla b. 1735 León, Guanajuato

Does anyone have a solid theory on the identity of Simón Báez, who married María de la Cerda [alias María de Balencuela?] probably sometime before Sep 1652?
Conjectured and proven children:
Nicolasa Báez de la Cerda b. c1653 probably in San Luis Potosí
Maria Báez b. 1653 in San Luis Potosí [may be the same person as sister Nicolasa Báez de la Cerda]
Simon Báez de la Cerda b. c1656 probably in Aguascalientes
Ygnacio Báez de la Cerna b. c1658 probably in Aguascalientes
Blasa Báez b. c1658? probably in Aguascalientes
Antonio Báez Lopes b. before 1659 probably in Aguascalientes (not proven)
Sebastiana Báez de la Cerda b 1659 in Aguascalientes
Simón Báez died in Aguascalientes and was buried 14 Dec 1659.
I lean toward one of two possibilities:
Household of María de la Cerda in the 1676 Padron de Santa María de los Lagos:
Rancho deel Potrerillo [21.268897, -101.862178]
Maria de la Serda Española, viuda ++ [María de la Cerda, widow of Simón Báez]
Anto de la Serda Español, viudo ++ [unproven son]
Blasa de la Serda, Española, soltera ++ [daughter]
Ygnacio Baes, Español, soltero ++ [son]
Juan de Mendosa, Español, casado ++ Maria Ramos ++ [not sure]
Melchora de los Reyes ++ [mother of María de la Cerda and Nicolás de la Cerda? See below]
Ana Rodrigues, soltera ++
Sebastiana Ruiz ++
Domingo de Bonilla, soltero ++
Juan, Indio de 10 años +
Sebastian, Indio de 11 años +
Rancho de Castelongo [21.302221, -101.848539]
Francisco de Ysassi, Espanol, casado ++ Nicolaza Baes ++ [morisco son-in-law and daughter of María de la Cerda and Simón Báez]
Diego Hernandes, Indio, casado ++ Angelina Delacruz, India
Theriza Rodrigues, India, soltera ++
Feliphe de la Cruz, Indio, soltero ++
Juan, Indio de 10 años +
Nicolas Hernandes, Indio de 10 años +
Is María de la Cerda a sister, or close relative, of Nicolás de la Cerda (c1630-1693), who married María de Bielma on 30 Sep 1652?
Simón Báez and María de la Cerda are ancestors many times over. The family is descended from three of their children in different lines. DNA test results indicate the family has Ashkenazi and possible Sephardic ancestry. Other than perhaps Toribio Hernández de Arellano (ancestor x 2) and Bartolomé de Mesquita (also an ancestor many times over), there are no other likely converso ancestors to be found.
If anyone has theories or information about Simón Báez and María de la Cerda, I would like to hear from you.
Thank you,
Travis
Hello everyone!
Does anyone know who Gerónima de Ornelas (widow) is?
Gerónima is noted in the household of Antonia de Villegas in the 1669 Padron of Lagos:
Casa de Antonia de Villegas mestissa [alias Mendoza b. before 1629, widow of Juan de Santoyo alias Pérez]
Geronima de Ornelas Viuda ++ [Unknown]
Antonio de Santoyo casado con ++ [son, alias Mendoza]
Melchora Basques mestissa ++ [daughter-in-law, alias de los Reyes]
Angelina Peres mestissa soltera ++ [daughter]
Ysidro de Santoyo + [grandson?]
Juan de Santoyo + [grandson]
I have not identified the location of this home, but it is somewhere south of Lagos; probably close to Los Jacales.
I cannot find any information about Gerónima de Ornelas, but Antonia de Villegas is an ancestor thrice over and two women with whom I believe she may be closely related are both also ancestors (María de Villegas alias de Rodas alias González b. c1630 who married Juan de Saavedra; and María de González alias de los Reyes b. c1610 who married Domingo de Espinosa alias Vasquez). So Gerónima's identity may be an important clue to our ancestry.
The Mendoza surname is repeatedly used by Antonia and her descendants, male and female, for successive generations leading me to believe there was some importance attached to it for them. Maybe Antonia de Villegas alias Mendoza is related to, or descended from, Álvaro de Ornelas and Isabel de Mendoza?
Any information or thoughts on this are welcome.
Thank you,
Travis
