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.

3rd PARAGRAPH should read: Rosario Arellano (my 4x great grandfather) and Catalina Flores's son NARCISO 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.

Comment

Dear Xochil,

I wonder if Catalina and Norberta Flores are not the same person. Could Norberta Flores be a second wife that was much younger than her husband.

I would recommend looking at the records of the other grandchildren to look for small clues. Then check for a marriage dispensation just in case Norberta and Catalina are related and Norberta needed a marriage dispensa to get married to Rosalio. Remember to Look for a marriage record of Rosalio even after his sons presumed birthdate

Check out this information:

Norberta Flores is the daughter of Jose Zenon Flores and Geronima Castaneda

Zenon is the son of Jose Maria Flores and Francisca Miramontes)

Geronima Castaneda is the daughter of Bartolo Castaneda and Maria Paula Delgado

Dear Joseph,
I appreciate very much all the work you have done for this site. Your work has contributed to many of the genealogy discoveries that I, and others, have made. You will be missed greatly.

Thanks again,

Rick A. Ricci

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.

Hi there Rick. I also have been looking into old posts to see what I have missed during my relative dormancy, and there’s some interesting stuff. Your mention of De la Torre caught my attention because I too have a De la Torre dead end that I have not been able to surpass for a really long time. I was going to post about it, but you beat me to it.

I descend from Joseph de la Torre and Isabel de Benavides, vecinos de Tepatitlán. Joseph de la Torre and Ma. Isabel de Benabides were married on Monday, 17 FEB 1710, in Tepatitlán, Jalisco, México. Their marriage record literally reads as follows:

"Joseph de la Torre y Ysabel de Benabides, epañoles de esta feligrecia. ----- En el Pueblo de San Francisco de Thecpatitlán en Diez y siete Días de el mes de Febrero de mil setecientos y Diez años, casé por palabras de presente y velé in facie eclecie a Joseph de la Torre Español y a Ysabel de Benabides asi mismo Española Vecinos de esta feligrecia haviendo antes precedido sus declaraciones, información de su libertad y soltería y haverles amonestado inter missarum solemia tres Días festivos y no resultado impedimento ninguno, ni haverlo havido al tiempo de la celebración de el matrimonio fueron testigos, Juan de Mercado, Joseph Gutiérrez Español y otros más naturales que estuberion presentes; Padrinos, Andrés de la Torre y Doña Josepha del Castillo y Torre, y para que conste lo firmé . . . Juan de Portugal y Lozano (firma y rúbrica)."

Their marriage record is in Microfilm # 0218516, Marriages 1686-1735, Foja 48 vuelta. Tepatitlán, Jalisco, México. [I still have old citations from when I sourced them from Microfilms, but I have been methodically upgrading to the FamilySearch.org image citations]

As you can see the Acta does not mention the parents of Joseph and Isabel, and ever since I have been looking for a break-through. I have searched for a dispensa amongst their descendants to see if any of them needed marriage dispensations, but no luck. I suspect they were of course De la Torre-Ledesma and have recorded them as such. I have been looking for a connection to every family unit and marriage in his generation in the nearby Ranchos in Tepa, but to no avail; too many guesses…not enough answers.

I descend from Joseph and Isabel through their son Joseph-Nicolas de la Torre, and his wife Anna-Gertrudis Gutiérrez, through their daughter María del Carmen de la Torre, on my mother’s side.

Oh, and by the way could you PLEASE!!! Post the link for the dispensa you mention above, must be from Aguascalientes where they got married. I have a feeling the Luis de Lomelín & María del Olmo connection from Querétaro you are talking about that connects to the marriage dispensation of Salvador Clemente De la Torre and his wife María Alexandra De La Torre, is through María Alejandra de la Torre’s great-grandmother Regina de Villaseñor y Cuevas, married to Miguel de Hermosillo, isn’t it? ¿Verdad? What more do you know about Francisco de Villaseñor y Cuevas and his wife María de Lomelín, parents of Regina. My sources indicate they were “Vecinos de La Barca”. I bet you have delved deeper into their origins in the Obispado de Michoacán…¡Me imagino qué sí!

Bueno...hasta pronto

Tu primo,
Steven Francisco Hernández López

Don Diego de Villaseñor casó el 1-jul-1637 en Morelia con Gertrudis de Cuevas Carbajal Samaniego según lo relata el padre Ibarrola en "familias y Casas de la Vieja Valladolid".

De esa pareja he localizado dos hijos :

Juana Villaseñor y Cuevas que casó en 1672 en Puruándiro con Nicolás de Ochoa Garibay (Ibarrola)

Francisca Villaseñor y Cuevas bautizada 18-ago-1661 en Angamacutiro, Mich. (LDS)

y muy probablemente Francisco de Villaseñor Cuevas el que casó con una María de Lomelín ya que ellos bautizan a José Cuevas Lomelín el 8-dic-1679 en Jocotepec,Jalisco. Este Francisco calculo yo que nació por 1640 y casó por 1665

Hubo otro Francisco de Cuevas que casó con otra María Lomelín, este fue Francisco de Cuevas Carbajal y su esposa fué María Villaseñor Lomelín bautizada el 3-may-1663 en Tocuitatlán, Jal.

Oh muchas gracias por los aportes a las familias Villaseñor, Cueva(s) y Lomelín. Con tus datos ya corregí lo que tenía. Me puse a leer las cartas de Jaime Holcombe y noté que él mismo también los mencionó.

Me queda obvio que me necesito conseguir mi copia propia del libro del Padre Ibarrola.

Steven,
Ese libro es una pérola en nuestros estudios michoacanos y jalicienes ya que la família Villaseñor se desenvolvió tanto en tal manera que su posteridad cubran una grande extensión de territorio. Lo he buscado por tres años y nada. Hasta recientemente he localizado dos posibilidades de encontrarlo uno en Morelia y otro en San Francisco, CA vamos ver lo que encontramos. Te deseo éxito en sus investigaciones y estoy muy feliz en tenerte por aquí de nuevo.

Tengo varios capítulos del "Familias y Casas de la Vieja Valladolid" que me proporcionó el señor Tony Campos, el real experto del Obispado de Michoacán. El tiene una copia la que yo podía consultar con frecuencia, y nomás por decidia le saque algunas copias, porque como está tan cerca se me hacía a la mano y de fácil acceso. Pero ya que me mudé de casa pues ya no es de tan fácil acceso. Me despegué de la genealogía por un tiempo por razones personales, pero estoy volviendo a poner toda mis cosas genealogicas en orden de nuevo, pero tengo mis cosas dispersadas y guardadas en cajas y no recuerdo exactamente donde quedaron. Mis libros publicados los tengo a la vista pero los que son copias de libros son los que no ubico por extraviados.

Para los que se encuentran en una circumstancia parecida y deseen localizar una copia del libro "Familias y casas de la vieja Valladolid" por Gabriel Ibarrola Arriaga y sacarle copia al libro entero ya que solo es de referencia y no se encuentra de venta por agotada la publicación. Las bibliotecas más cercanas donde tienen el libro en el Sur de California son Cal State Fullerton, también UC Irvine, y USC. Vean http://www.worldcat.org/title/familias-y-casas-de-la-vieja-valladolid/o…
para más información. Siempre es bueno tener más información ya que en la genealogia como en todo, no debemos juzgar antes de tener todas las piezas del rompecabezas. Cosas pasan por razones que a veces totalmente ignoramos, y pues pasan.

Yo iré pronto a Fullerton para sacarle copia al libro.

I am also very interested in getting a hold of this book or copies of this book. A few years ago I went looking for a book that I especially was interested in at ucla. Unfortunately the information from the worldcat catalog was not enough for for the librarians to find the book. I was totally disappointed. I thought that once you had the reference number it would be a piece of cake to find in the library. Since it was in a very rare book section I was not allowed to actually look for it myself. They never found the book. Good luck finding this book. Please let me know what you find.

Well I know that my dear old friend Tony Campos has an intact copy of the entire book.

The Worldcat catalog mentioned CSU Fullerton, UC Irvine, USC and a few others. I remember now, Tony Campos got his copy from Fullerton.

Fullerton is between his home and the Orange FHC where he did most of his research into the Obispado de Michoacan. He lives in Diamond Bar and would give a good excuse to pay him a visit.

Steven,
Thank your for your prompt response. I may ask you to make a copy of that book if my searches fail. I have contacted Morelia, Mexico City, Guanajuato, Guadalajara and some institutions in Madrid and nothing. I know the 1st edition is out of print, but recently they have reprinted into a modern edition in Morelia. I have one more bookstore I can email and see if they know anything. I was told they can also be purchased from a bookstore in San Francisco. I am growing inpatient as a genealogist, because I need it. I feel limited as to research without this book. I like you come from many of the principal families of the Bishopric of Michoacán. Méndez de Torres, Gutiérrez de Robles, Villaseñor, Martínez de Navarrete, Núñez de Sotomayor, Alvarez del Castillo are the least to mention. I could pay a service fee if you would like so you can get me a copy of the book when you go to Fullerton, if it not be any trouble.
When you go to Tony Campo's house, ask him if he has any additional information on the Méndez de Torres. I have only recently discovered through Mariano González Leal that the first or second gobernador de Michoacán after the independence was my relative Telésforo Méndez de Torres. I have also been in communication with Lic. Alejandro Mayagoitia in Mexico City who is getting me ready a certified copy of the probanzas de admitiación that my ancestors did for their admittance at the Real e Ilustre Colegio de Abogados de San Lorenzo in Mexico City in the beginning of the XIX century. I have been busy... :) Also, do you know if you have an extra copy of the Genealogical Journal, by SHHAR, vol I. It includes the Zamora Marriages from 1605-1622, 1638-1646 by Tony Campos and Ophelia Márquez. They also wrote about the Robledo family from Zamora and their connection in New Mexico. I have cousins from México City who including myself are extracting all the Spanish and Mestizos in the Zamora archives and hope to publish it in the near future. It will be a gold mine of information!
Un fuerte abrazo,Daniel

Hola a todos !

Tuve la suerte de adquirir el libro del Padre Ibarrola hace unos dos años y medio y no me decepcionó ya que yo había visto los extractos que aparecen en google books y se veía que contenía información sobre muchos apellidos, particularmente (además de mi apellido ) aparecía en las vistas previas el nombre del abuelo de unos grandes amigos míos de Morelia y deseaba yo investigar su genealogía. Efectivamente, al comprar el libro pude ver buena parte de los ascendientes de mis amigos que resultaron ser de los LLanos-Valdés y de los Ruíz de Contreras.

Respecto de los Méndez de Torres siento decepcionarte Daniel, pero no se encuentran en el libro, hay sí varios Méndez así a secas, otros Médez de Castro, Méndez de Orozco y Méndez Pérez-Gil. Realmente me sorprende que no aparezca información sobre los Méndez zamoranos ya que fue y sigue siendo uno de los apellidos más ilustres de esa ciudad.

Solo por mencionar a uno de sus conspicuos exponentes, a mediados del pasado siglo descolló el gran empresario zamorano Alfonso Méndez Ramírez el cual fue suegro de una amiga de mi esposa que lleva el apellido Sahagún , otro de los destacados apellidos zamoranos.

Yo llevo sangre Méndez ya que mi abuela paterna era Concepción García Méndez hija de Dortea Méndez pero ella era de La Piedad, Mich. y no he podido avanzar en esa línea.

It should read Nicolas Ochoa Garibay (Ibarlucea) The Ochoa family surname started out as Otxoa Ybarlucea (Ochoa Ibarlucea in Spanish). The family was Basque. They were from Elorrio.

Hello Steve,
You are right again, it is through my descendancy through Regina Villasenor y Cuevas. Though the marriage was in Aguascalientes, the marriage dispensation is in Guadalajara. When I found it, I would go back to it often because I was so thrilled to see what I had been looking many, many years. The diagram was a great find because it showed how they descended from two half siblings, from 2 different marriages, same father. The diagram is image 466 (1787 FHL source film 168072 Mexico)(Marriage dispensations Guadalajara)

Regina was married on 2feb 1689, La Barca Jalisco to Miguel Gonzalez de Hermosillo.

Diego Villasenor + Gertrudis de Cuevas
Francisco Villasenor (c. 1640 m1662) Maria Lomelin (1644)
Regina Villasenor Cuevas Lomelin (m2Feb1689) + Miguel Gonzalez de Hermosillo
I believe that francisco Villasenor and Maria Lomelin are related through the Villasenor Orosco and that she is the granddaughter of Luis LOMELI AND Maria de olmos. I am still gathering information to support this.

The source for Francisco's parents is not written down in my notes so I am very concerned with about where this information comes from. When I first started doing research I did not always document the source of my information. I learned my lesson and have been trying to reinvestigate much of my info to add sources. It was a big surprise to me to find out that this is a line that I need to reinvestigate.
I believe that the source is most likely Jaime Holcombe but I am not sure.
On Miguel hidalgos ancestry I did write all the sources down because there were so many already done that had little mistakes and I wanted to show evidence for every step. It wasn't until later that I realized that I need to do this for every bit of info.
Your de la torre line is living in the same location that Salvador Clemente de la torre and Maria Alejandra de la torre. He is most likely related to them. A grandfather of mine was born in Cerro Gordo, Tepatitlan .
The Patino were also related to this line. Juan de Villasenor married to Maria Patino.

Hello Steve,
One thing to remember when searching for information about people in the Los altos de Jalisco in 1600 and 1700 s is that many of them practiced a tradition started with some Italian Jews of naming their children with their grandparents names, including surnames. Look for Isabel with a different last name. Check out their descendents for any clues as to a possible last name. You already know about this but we sometimes need reminders.
A couple of years ago I was reminded by Daniel Mendez that the h and f were interchangeable in these centuries. Even though I already knew this information, I had overlooked some key data because I did not keep this on my mind at times when working on a couple Of lines. I immediately went back over my info and found an important baptismal certificate. I then was also able to solve another puzzle that I had been working on for a long time.

The practice of naming children after grandparents and great grandparents was found in certain jewish families in Italy and parts of Spain. Not all Jews practiced this though. Some jewish groups thought it was disrespectful to name a child after their grandparent if the grandparent was still alive. In Italian papers I saw the order of how they were supposed to name their kids according to their order of birth. If a child died in infancy it threw the order off as some people named the next child after the one that died. Or if both grandmothers had the same name then it caused more confusion. This practice did not last long, and only in certain families.

Joseph and Ysabel are my 6th great grandparents on my maternal line.

Nicholas de la Torre, married to Ana Gertrudis Gutierrez de Hermosillo are my 5th great grandparents.

Also, I just requested the book, Familias y Casas de Vallalodid, from our storage facility at USC. I will probably have my hands on it tomorrow morning. If so, I'll let you all know. The copyright is 1969, however, so don't know about making a complete copy of the book.

Anyways, I just wanted to begin a conversation with new found "Primos."

Mucho gusto conocerte,

Well it seems we descend not only from Joseph de la Torre and Isabel Benavides, but also from their son Nicolas, and his wife Anna-Gertrudis Gutierrez de Hijar y Mendoza Hermosillo. In fact I descend from the Gutierrez line twice.

Despues platicamos...

Comment

Dear Steve,

Even though Jose De la torre and Isabel Benavides are named as vecinos de Tepatitlan, I wouldn't be surprised if they were were born in Teocaltiche or Nochistlan Zacatecas as that is when many families migrated from that area to los altos de Jalisco. I have ancestors from those locations that moved to tepa and Jalos. The ones that went to Jalos were easier to trace back to Teocaltiche and Nochistlan because they added more information in their records. The ones that went to tepa were harder as sometimes they were more inconsistent as to providing this info. Since tepa and Jalisco weren't so far apart you could sometimes find the information recorded twice in both locations, with the Jalos record providing extra data. For example, my maternal grandfather came from families from the Jalos /San Miguel el alto area but he was born between Tepa and Jalos, much closer to Tepa, and the ranch was recognized as being under tepatitlan jurisdiction. His baptismal record is found inTepas records. But his baptism is also recorded for a second time in Jalostotitlan. This record provides a little bit more information and is beautifully handwritten so it is not a struggle to read the words.

The records you are looking for may be in Jalos, Teocaltiche or Nochistlan, Zacatecas as there is a presence of the de la torre Ledesma and Benavides in these areas.

The De la Torre Ledesma line leads back to Spain where two brothers are caught in mortal combat. We have already proven descent from one of these brothers. The "right hand" of the other brother that we do not descend from is the ancestor of the De la torre Ledesma. The "right hand" of the brother that we do descend from is the brother of an ancestor of ours. The story of where they all come together to meet and fight and what happens afterwards is a big story. The importance of the "right hand" men in the story and how it leads to a change in the family surname in order for one of the men's descendants to distance himself from his ancestors politics. The change in surname did what it was supposed to do and allowed these descendants to continue living in the same area and Move to the winning side, unlike their ancestor who was forced to flee to Portugal. We descend from the line with the changed surname.

Many people posted genealogies of his descent but they are missing generations and have mistakes as to the wives. The mistakes in the wives are understandable as these genealogists had most likely family tree listing the mothers with missing generations and family trees of the fathers missing generations,( missing different generations) so when they put it together the wives and husbands were put together in a wrong order. Sometimes the confusion came from someone having two wives and a mistaken genealogist considered one of the wives the wife of a similar named son. These family trees all skip a very important generation.this generation is important but is usually left out because people had assumed a direct son to son hand me down of the surname but in reality the surname skips a generation and comes from a maternal side. It goes son to son to daughter, to son. I have documentation from a second source that confirms this added generation. The daughter actually uses a different surname but her father and son do share the same family surname. This added generation also is important because it leads to Irish ancestors. I had previously not found any confirmed Irish ancestors. Now we can toast to some Irish ancestors on St Patrick's day.
.
This added generation also explains the story attached to his family as to being a descendant of a certain office. Not every person that has an office becomes so attached to the office that it seems to become part of the surname. Titles of nobility often become part of the "name" but titles referring to an office are not always attached as if it were part of the name.

This line also connects our ancestors to a legend that has a basis of truth that comes from the struggle for rights in England. That is a Story left for another time.

Comment

Dear Steve,

Did you ever find the parents of Joseph de la Torre Ledesma and Isabel de Benavides? I have put aside all my other genealogy work for a few weeks and have only been working on the de la Torre Ledesma lines. The de la Torre Ledesma has become a big chapter in my book since it now connects to other ancestors of founding families in Spain. This coming Christmas vacation I hope to spend time in a few far off libraries gathering more information on the de la Torre Ledesma lines. My paternal grandmother is De La Torre.

Have a website that includes some of the older Reynoso y Renteria families from Moyahua and Juchipila parishes, and also some Reynoso families from Jalostotitlan, Mezquital, and Cuquio.

It is not inclusive of all Reynoso families, and it is still very early for research of these Reynoso y Renteria families. Link included below. My wife or I are not known to be directly related to these families, but when researching my spouse Lozano and Renteria families, found many of these Reynoso records; and decided to share, hopefully helping others.

Diego Reynoso and Maria Plasencia listed as grand-parents of Andrea de Luna,
who was the daughter of Jose Maria de Jesus de Luna and Gertrudis Reynoso.
Believe this is same Diego Reynoso, son of Christoval Reynoso and Ana
Maria Gonsales de Rubalcaba.

Diego Reynoso and Maria Plasencia listed as grand-parents of Maria Andrea Luna, born in Contitlan, Zacatecas (near Juchipila), Mexico.

Comment

Note: Believe this Diego Reynoso to be the son of Christoval Reynoso (born circa 1725)
in part based on age, and siblings likely to include Alejo, Francisca, Teresa, Gertrudis, Francisco and Ygnacio. All of these stated to be children of Diego Reynoso.

Contitlan, 29 years old (born circa 1812), and previously married to Jose Agaton
Lupercio, who had died 5 years prior, buried in Juchipila parish.
Pedro Flores (groom) and Pascuala Marin (bride) were commonly related through
Diego Reynoso, and two of his sons, Alejo Reynoso and Ygnacio Reynoso as
follows:
Diego Reynoso was the father of Alejo Reynoso, who was the father of Gertrudis
Reynoso, who was the mother of Candido Reynoso, who was the mother of

Pedro stated Antonio de Luna to be his vis-abuelo materno (maternal great grandfather)

Alejandro was consistently listed as the husband of Carmen de Luna in Moyahua
records, except for one entry where he was was listed as the husband of Xaviera
Plasencia. Believe this Xaviera Plasencia was actually the mother of Alejandro,
and cleric was in error. No evidence of a second marriage for Alejandro, as
he listed his wife as Carmen de Luna on death record.

Maria Lou,

In case you don't already have this, here is the carta de dote of Diego Martin Saldana, giving an account of what he received from Maria de Ruelas, at the time he married Teresa de Sotomayor. It includes an inventory. It's dated 19 Sep 1661 - years after the marriage, he says he didn't have a chance to do it, at the time he married, since he was always out in the fields.

Morisca-Gertrudis Escoto y Tovar

Hola Miembros , I was cruising through Baptismal Records in Jalostotitlan - 1698-1701 ,1701-1707,1694-1702 Image # 225 .

Comments

Comment

Hi Ronnie - I don't have anything to offer on the morisca issue. But, interestingly, I was just working yesterday on Francisca Gertrudis Escoto y Tovar who was married to Ysidro Villalobos. They had children in Aguascalientes between 1683 and 1694, so this is definitely not your Gertrudis. But since we are talking about the Escoto y Tovar family, does anyone have any information about Francisca Gertrudis? I can't find any records about her at all, other than records for her children. I am guessing that she died around 1694-1696, as Ysidro had 2 more children in 1697 and 1699 with Angela Dias de la Huerta.

Danny C. Alonso

Comment

In my experience, the "castas" system was not used based on the romanticized colonial charts (made mostly as propaganda rather than scientific research). In Mexico, from all the records I've seen, less than five per cent are true to these charts, Is obvious (to me a least) that the "race" designation was used as a physical description rather than genetic, and the words "mulato", "morisco", and "lobo" are often used simply to state that the kid is from a possible mix ancestry, and/or a times to state how they "look", similar to today's "tez morena" "tez clara". Thus if the kid look a bit dark-skin, they would likely use any of those "castas" to "describe" him/her, regardless of their parents been "Spanish". (and for the most part the parents, specially the mother, where not present during the baptism)

A pattern I've notice at times in some towns is that when Spanish people have kids of darker skin, the would use "morisco", but when the kid was from Spanish and Natives, they would likely use "mulato" or "lobo", still it was up to the priest to designate.

Also the "casta" was thought by many, to be part of their social status, at times those who descend from Wealthy and Influential Natives/Mestizos were called Spanish.

In your record, if you don't have any other than Spanish lines before the child, is likely that the "morisco" only refers to her skin tone. But never discard any possibility. Hope it helps a little.

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)).

Comments

Comment

Text goes like this:

-Don Juan del Muro introduce Lorenso Lopes Pichardo as witness.

-Lorenso said he knows the one who introduce him since He born. (note "conoce al que lo presenta" in this case "presenta" means "to introduce" not "her/she is present", here the witness is talking about Juan)

-That Juan was married with Doña Antonia de Abila.

-That they both Juan and Antonia had a son, among others named Br. Dn. Aparisio Benansio del Muro.

-That he (Lorenso) knew Juan's parents "Juan del Muro and Maria de Arismendis"

-That he (Lorenso) didn't knew Antonia's parent in person but that he knew by others that they were "Pedro del Muro and Maria de Chirriaga"

-That the marternal grandparents of Juan del Muro (son) are "Juan de Arismendi and Maria de la Candelaria Rios"

-That even when he (Lorenso) didn't knew Juan (son) paternal grandparents, he knows by other people that they were "Pedro de Salas and Juana de Bonilla. (this means according to the witness that "Salas" and "Del Muro" were the same Family.

After this, there is the customary declaration of "pureness of blood", it goes and says that all the named people are "old Christians" and have no "blood mixture" etc. There is no other information in this paragraph about the Grandparents or else.

If you take in account the margin of error during the writing of this documents plus the fact that the witness didn't really knew the grand parents, chances are that they names were not fully accurate.

Hope it helps a little.

Hi Alice,

Between the parents names, after don Nicolas Vocanegra, it says Alguasil mayor de Santo Oficio. The Alguacil Mayor, I think is normally like a Sheriff or Town Constable, but, this says Alguacil Mayor de Santo Oficio, which would be referring to The Holy Office, which is the nice name for the Inquisition, so he would most likely have been in charge of arresting people for crimes against the Church like heresy and stuff like that.

Here's my quick read on this (mistakes in reading are possible, abbreviations used):

En el pueblo de San Juo del Rio, en veinte y nueve de Nobe de setecientos y trece años ex lisentia parrochi baptize a Maria de San Diego hija lexma de Dn. Nicolas de Vocanegra Alguasil mayor de Sto Oficio, y de Da Maria Roxo fueron sus padrinos el Cappn D Juo [Juan] de Lovion y Dna Margarita Resends
[signatures]

I think the part you're wondering about is the wording after Nicolas de Vocanegra's name. It's in reference to his position, alguacil mayor. You can read more about that here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alguacil

Let me add the position is in reference to the Santo Oficio (the religious aspect of governance is my best way of describing it; others I'm sure are more knowledgeable about it).

I hope this helps!

I couldn't have done it without you, since I've never read the word alguasil before.
Thanks so much for your help.

Alguacil is the modern translation of the word "Sheriff". Such as the word sheriff means "shire reeve" in ancient Anglo-Saxon. Al-guacil is originally Arabic and means the "local law authority".

As "Alguacil Mayor del Santo Oficio [de la Inquisicion]" he would have been in charge of arresting people accused of heresy, witchcraft, jewish-converso practices, blasphemy, native Indian pagan worship, and subsequently bringing them before the "Regidores" the council members/judges who would interrogate you and ascertain your guilt or innocence.

[By the way....isn't Queretaro a treasure trove of Italian immigrants?? Just on this page you see two Italian family names...Spinola (Espinola/Espindola) and Bocanegra...plus others like Grimaldi (Grimaldo), Lomellini (Lomelin/Lomeli) and Fregoso are not uncommon in Queretaro and Puebla genealogy.]

It's not surprising that so many Spanish words have Arabic origins. I once read that most Spanish words that begin with "al" are of Arabic origin.
Even ojala comes from the Arabic for "God willing". I taught an English as a second language class of 50% Arabs and 50% Hispanics.
The Hispanic students were sharing a joke amongst themselves that mentioned "calzones". The Arabs snickered and said that
calzones and pantalones have the same meaning in Arabic.

About the Italian, I noticed that, too. However, I never knew my Vocanegra surname to be Italian. I've also been told that my Bravo surname is originally Sicilian.
At this point in time I can only say that as far as I have found (only to the 1700's) they both came from Spain. But, as we all know, genealogy is full of surprises!

Hello Alice,

Calzón comes from Latin.

Pantalón comes from Italian pantaloni through French pantalon.

Calzones and pantalones might be Latin in origin, but they're used in Arabic. So they got those words from the Spanish.

There are indeed many Spanish words from Arabic, including our names: Guadalupe, Omar, Fatima, Lilia and Medina are just a few that come to mind.

Hello Laura,

The point was that the word flow was not Arabic to Spanish since the
subject was about Arabic words in Spanish.

I was already aware of the Spanish words from Arabic since I was a teenager
and I wasn't inferring otherwise.

In reference to original baptismal entry...the father of the child was "Alguacil Bocanegra".

While the etymology of "alguacil" is well established as Arabic, the origin of the surname Bocanegra is indeed Italian...specifically Ligurian/Genoese.

I have been researching almost exclusively Italian and Portuguese genealogies recently and have discovered the origin of the Bocanegra surname in my Estrada-Bocanegra ancestry from Teocaltiche and Guadalajara.

The surname Boccanegra (Italian) or Bocanegra (Spanish) originated in northern Italy during the 13th century. The first Doge of Genova was named Simone Boccanegra. Go to =>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boccanegra

Interesting story about OUR last name...
In Italian [as in Spanish], bocca means "mouth and Ne(g)ra "black", so in English Boccanegra means "black mouth". Translation – Mouth Black, or in English Black Mouth.

During the 13th century the representation or depiction of evil was black (or Darkness) and the representation or depiction of speaking was the Mouth.

To say that one had a "black mouth" was to say that one was an "evil speaker" or one who "spoke of evil".

Although possessors of wisdom and knowledge that could aid mankind, the ancestors of this name were regarded as mystics, soothsayers, and alchemists, being branded by some as heretics, sorcerers, necromancers and warlocks. Despite this, they were the healers of their time, counsel to kings, and, ultimately, bringers of peace.

Simone Boccanegra (died 1363) was the first doge of Genoa, elected doge for life on September 24, 1339. His story was popularized by Antonio García Gutiérrez's 1843 play Simón Bocanegra and Giuseppe Verdi's 1857 opera Simon Boccanegra. Note the spellings in Spanish and Italian.

Hi Steven,
How very interesting. I probably would have been burnt at the stake in 13th century Italy
with Bocanegra family and the fact that I'm left-handed. As you probably know "left" in Italian is "sinistra".

Dear Steve,

Merry Christmas,

I wanted to add some information clarifying the Bocanegra stories

You stated:

Simone Boccanegra (died 1363) was the first doge of Genoa, elected doge for life on September 24, 1339. His story was popularized by Antonio García Gutiérrez's 1843 play Simón Bocanegra and Giuseppe Verdi's 1857 opera Simon Boccanegra. Note the spellings in Spanish and Italian.

My clarifications:
The truth is that Antonio Garcia Gutierrez's play was not exactly a true story. Simone Boccanegra was never a corsair, ever a sailor and he was not involved with a Fieshi. The author combined the stories of two brothers, Simon and Egidio, into one character.

He used Simone's name and position as doge of Genoa, combined with his brother egidios life as a sailor and corsair. Egidio was married to Maria Fieschi but it was not the dramatic story of the play I descend from Aegidio [Egidio] Boccanegra (aka Gil Barbanegra), a brother to the real Simone Boccanegra. Simon and Egidio are the sons of Giacomo Bocconegra and Genevra Saraceni. Egidio is named after his maternal grandfather. He and his son, Ambogio, had some great triumphs that have written in the history books.

The myth that the family picked up the name in the 13th century is not true as the family already has the surname in the twelfth century.

Although the play/opera is not a true story, they did use bits of true facts. Also This family has many interesting stories. Egidio's wife is a great niece to a Catholic Pope.

One interesting fact about this family is that their subjects had the choice of punishment for adultery. The traditional sentence of stoning would be waived if they agreed to become a slave.

After researching the origin of the word pantalón I found that it is from
the name of one of the most important principal characters found in La
*Commedia
dell'Arte* from the 16th century. It is very doubtful that it made it into
Arabic from Spanish in the 16th century or after especially since from what
I can find pantalon or bantalun or بنطلون isn't even used in Morocco or
the Maghreb. They use sarwel for pantalón.

I used to work with someone who had immigrated from Lebanon with his wife. One time, I walked into his office and he was on the phone with her, speaking in Arabic. At one point in the conversation, I was sure I heard the word "pantalones" distinctly. I thought it must be some other word that just had the same sound, as I don't speak Arabic. I asked him if he had been speaking to his wife about pants, and he said "Yes! You know Arabic?" I said no, the word for pants was the same in Spanish. We did a collective 'wow' and had a good laugh over that.

Last year, I went to the Middle East for a week for work. I wanted to learn a few words and phrases in order to get around, to ask directions, to shop, that kind of thing. I found that personally it was easier for me to learn Arabic words when I was using a Spanish-to-Arabic translator site. There are literally thousands of words that came into use in Castilian (typical Spanish) from the hundreds of years of Arabic rule of the Iberian peninsula. That and knowing that my family name seems to have deep roots in southern Spain (aka, Al Andalus) where the name Velez is spread throughout in names of towns, mountain ranges, and rivers, specifically names of places with towers (Ballis in Arabic) that had been established since the time of the Arabs, is what originally drove me to try and trace my family history. All very interesting stuff :)

Deciphering marriage certificate

I need some help in figuring out the bride's mother's name on the marriage certificate for Agustin Ursua and Bernardina Gutierres at https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-G5BH-B?mode=g&i=359&wc

Nicolas de Ursua married to Josepha Rodriguez Martin de Chabes (IM-1708 attached)

https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:939N-BL51

The parents of Nicolas de Ursua are listed as Augustin de Ursua and Bernarda Rodriguez and originally from Aguascalientes. The record you attached to deciper Ana de Chabes states an explanation of aguascalientes being his place of origin but the birth record states Jalisco. They seem to be the same person except for the timeframe of birth and IM date of birth. Of course, the priest could have made mistakes as in the case in several of my ancestors records.

Are they the same person, perhaps I missed something. I just found this record of marriage yesterday as he is married to my 1st cousin 8x removed.

Comment

On 7 May 1708 in Lagos, Nicolas de Ursua provided information to marry Josefa Martinez, 'espanola' from Hacienda la Pendencia in Sierra de Pinos, daughter of Pascual Rodriguez and Matiana Martinez (deceased). In the IM he states that he is from Rio de Santa Maria in the 'parroquia' of Lagos, he is the legitimate son of Agustin de Ursua and Bernarda Gutierrez, 'espanoles'. He declares that he is 24 years old which is 7 years older than the age of the Nicolas baptized in Lagos on 30 Sept 1677. Perhaps he didn't know when he was born and therefore didn't know his true age (not uncommon) or maybe the Nicolas born in 1677 died young and this is a second Nicolas?

The IM is at: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-V1N9-C?i=110&wc=3J8Q-L2S%3…

Hi Austin - My line of descent is actually through the brother of Nicolas, Manuel. He was born in 1679 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-K9D1-P?mode=g&i=71&wc=3J86… and married Petra Ornelas in 1707. https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-K98W-N?mode=g&i=162&wc=3J8…

The marriage certificate also states that Manuel is from Rio de Santa Maria and that Petronila is from Hacienda de San Matias. But unfortunately it doesn't give parents' names. I can verify Manuel's from his death certificate, but I haven't been able to find Petra's.

I get really frustrated with trying to work with información matrimonial. Do you have any suggestions? Almost every time I have tried, I can get to a month before the marriage in question and then it skips to six months after. I am really interested in this particular marriage because I can't find any other information about Petra / Petronila Ornelas.

Thanks for all your help. I especially like your wiki pages.

Hi Daniel,

Regarding searching documents that are not in chronological order; I have no answer except to say that you need patience, lots of patience. The following link is to a spreadsheet that was shared by a Nuestros Ranchos member some time ago and which I've added to when I search the archives. The way it is setup is that each tab represents a parrish or other resource. The columns are the film numbers and the rows are the image numbers. Some of the films may not be correctly indexed due to LDS rearranging the image numbering.

Hello Daniel. My stepfather Anastacio Sanchez married my mother and they had five children. I had one of my half sisters take the dna test. The results were 60% Native American. I found one family member for Urzua that are identified as Indian. My step father's and all his siblings had blue, green or hazel eyes and white skin. My stepfather was born in 1914. His gggrandfather Onofre Sanchez Married Maria Jesus Gutierrez in 1847, Villa de Garcia, Nuevo Leon. Do you have these names in your family tree?

Comment

Thanks Austin

Two would make sense. The two Nicolas' are surely related, first they marry into the Chabes, and Rodriguez, as many of us know, families seem to marry into the same families.

What is a mystery are the differences in surnames of bernarda, it could mean two bernardas which was a name in fashion at the time and the "original de Aguascalientes" for Agustin. I will keep looking for answers and hope someone else has a piece to contribute.

Arizmendi (Jalisco/Zacatecas/Aguascalientes/San Luis Potosi)

Juan del Muro and his wife Maria de Arizmendi were married in Aguascalientes 8 January 1668. Many descendants of this couple spread throughout Aguascalientes, Jalisco, and Zacatecas.

Ruben,

There is a son of Juan Gonzalez de Hermosillo and Ana Gonzalez Florida that uses the name Pedro Gutierrez de HErmosillo. I'm not sure if it's the same as yours but it does tell you that there were descendants of the Gonzalez de Hermosillo's that use the name Pedro Gutierrez. I'm not sure when your Pedro was born but this Pedro Gutierrez de Hermosillo would have been born before 1666. you can find see him here:
