thanks to the several of you that replied to question. . .I am so
grateful for the help. thanks again.

This record is really an eye opener for me. I went through that film
record by record about 9 months ago when my research was only 3 months
old. I saw that record but at the time I had no idea who Manuel
Castaneda and Lugarda Diaz were. So this brings up a good point about
why certain films should be made permanent at your family history
center. As your knowledge grows you will definitely have different
insight when you look at certain records. If you look over a film
quickly and send it right back you will be surprised one day when you
need it but its not available without have to reorder it.

So if you are looking in the area where several of your families
generations lived consider making those films part of your (their)
permanent collection at your local family history center. Yes you might
have to be selective as it can get expensive but think how much it would

Dear Group (especially Joseph):



The burial record literally reads as follows:



"Manuel Castañeda Adulto del Salto de los Romeros, H.L. (Hijo Legítimo)

+ Limosna



En el Cementerio de esta Yglecia de Santa María a siete de Septiembre de mil ochocientos veinte y tres.  Yo el Bachiller Don Lorenso del Muro di licencia para que se enterrase de Limosna al Adulto Manuel Castañeda del Salto de los Romeros de estado Viudo de primeras nupcias de María Melchora Miramontes, de cosa de ochenta años de edad, hijo legítimo de José Castañeda y María Melchora (la espresada arriba es la madre del Muerto y su Muger fue M.a Lugarda Días) recibió los Sacramentos.  Murió de evacuación.  Y para que conste lo firmé con el Señor Cura.  . . . Lorenzo del Muro (rúbrica) . . . Ygnacio Suárez (rúbrica)."



The notary priest was about to make a mistake regarding Manuel Castañeda's ALREADY dead wife.  Notice he wrote that he was married to María Melchora Miramontes first, but then he later corrects himself and says

Hi Joseph,
here is my translation:   the 2nd word in parenthesis is "espresada"; 
meaning the "above named/referenced".  The word before viudo 
is "estado"; meaning "marital status".
Maria

Hello Roseholly,

**I am also researching the surnames of Gaeta and Huizar, along with 
the spelling variations (or spelling mistakes) which include, Gueta, 
Huisar, Guisar, Guizar.

**I am currently looking into two different Gaeta families and two 
different Huizar families.  The two different Gaeta families are 
probably related but I have not found the link yet, likewise for the 
two different Huizar families.

**I was looking over your genealogy file and found some names that I 
recognized.  The first was Martina Cardenas married to Angel Lopez.  
Martina is the sister of my great-great-grandmother.  Martina's 
paternal grandmother was Ana Maria Gaeta, one of the Gaeta Lines I am 
following.  I am not sure if Martina's family is one of the families 
you are following but just in case it was, I have included her 
christening information, marriage information, and the christening 
information for seven of her children.  See below:
