Thanks for the fast response. I have not tried the number 7 for 
office number. I will do soon. Also, I just need a copy for my 
records. How do I order that? And last, can you get birth certificate 
records of deceased family members (prior to 1900)?

Thank you, Guillermo.

Hi Josephine, I have a question.

I noticed you requested baptismal certificate of a family member in 
Mexico (Zacatecas) and was wondering if you could tell me how to go 
about requesting them from the Catholic church.

Thank you in advance for your attention to my message.

Guillermo Valdez.

Hi all, I just recently joined the group and I am researching for 
information on my mother's side ancestors. They are from Los Altos de 
Jalisco, some from ranchos and some from small towns.

The surnames I am researching are Hernández, Cervantes, Abarca and 
Valle (some other relatives are Placencia, Nuño, Nuñez and Sánchez). 
They are mostly from the area of San Jos de Gracia, Atotonilco el 
Alto, Ocotln, Arandas and the ranchos of Ortiguilla, Ojo de Agua de 
Latillas, La Muralla, Barranquilla and El Salvador.

My farthest I could get was to my great great grandfather Marcelino 
Valle, born in the mid-1800s and his 2 wives; Rita Hernández and 
Toribia Nuño (or Nuñez) (married again after Rita died). Also my 
great grandparents were Refugio Cervantes and Leonides Valle 
(Marcelino's daughter), and Bruno Hernández and Catalina (or 
Catarina?)Hernández; my grandparents were Félix Hernández (son of 
Bruno and Catalina) and Guadalupe Cervantes (daughter of Leonides).

Any help would be

Hi there. I checked this web site to order a certified copy of my 
Grandmother, but unfortunately you need to enter an office number, 
which I don't have a clue what this is. I couldn't go any further. 
Anyone knows how to bypass this?, since I have no information of 
any "office" that they are requesting. Any help would be greatly 
appreciated.

Hi

My name is Anita and I am researching family members from Zacatecas.
I will post a file in the database with their names. Currently, I am
researching the the Amaro and Santos families from Carillo or
Adjuntas Del Refugio, Zacatecas, Mexico.

It's very nice to find this group!

Here are some pages from a book written in 1894

Geografia Y Estadistica De La Republica Mexicana Zacatecas De Alfonso
Luis Velasco

that give a lot of details of the Pinos area.

Hello,

I am trying to find La Hacienda del Lobo in San Matias, Pinos,
Zacatecas. I have looked up the area map and cannot pinpoint where
this Hacienda could have been. Does anyone have an idea how to find
it? We tried using the Ranchos info Joseph Puentes has sent, but it
doesn't work.

can you be specific about this so I can look into it?

joseph

ps: do you think its possible that the Hacienda or Rancho could be
called Coyote or Coyotes rather than Lobos?

pps: this book covers all of Zacatecas. If anyone else wants some pages
of it put into the "files" area let me know and I'll eventually get to
it. . . .puede ser.

found by George Gause on the Scout Report.

Regarding your question about the hacienda - I recently learned while I was 
in Mexico digging up materials about the village from where my husband was 
born, that many haciendas/villages were given the opportunity to change their name 
after the Mexican revolution - and many did.  The rationale was that the 
"people" were empowered with their land, and so there was an effort to erase the 
autocracy which had existed under colonial rule and before the revolution. Some 
haciendas eventually became small villages, and retained a portion of their 
original name - 

On the other hand, as what happened to me in Monterrey, the hacienda's name 
actually became a "colonia" of the expanding city of Monterrey - I don't know 
how big Pinos, Zacatecas is......perhaps that can be explored....

I hope this helps....

 I believe there is a site that may have a list of some of those 
village/hacienda name changes, perhaps someone else on the board can recall....
