Good day.
I hope everyone is well. I am interested in buying a set of Retoños de España en la Nueva Galicia.
Does anyone know where one can be found.
Best regards,

Good day.
I hope all are well. I am searching for a birth record for Francisco Antonio Gallaga Mandarte Villaseñor. Here is the link to his marriage record

Your help would be very much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Sandra
Estimados colegas,
Hoy de casualidad busqué en PARES información sobre Compostela de Indias, hoy Nayarit y ¡vaya si tuve suerte! Este documento nos ayuda a trazar varios hilos de la historia de Compostela de Indias, incluyendo a varios de los alcaldes del sigo XVII, que tan difícil ha sido de desentrañar.
Encontré la confirmación de oficio de D. Sebastián de Bracamonte y Ovalle como escribano público de la ciudad de Compostela en 1696-1697. El primer testigo fue el Cap. D. Diego Dávalos y Ulibarri, hermano del primer Conde de Miravalle (imagen 129); nos da la edad del testigo de 36 años y por lo tanto nacido alrededor de 1661.
There is a John Reyes who is not a member who wants to know who posted the genealogy of his family on the website. Does anyone want to take credit for posting the genealogy of "Geronimo M. Reyes"? I would like to put you and John together as you are probably cousins. But I can't seem to find a message with that title "Ancestors of Geronimo M. Reyes". Maybe its there and I just didn't find it yet so if anyone else with better tech savy would help that would be also welcome.

Does anyone have information on sisters Nicolasa Vásquez (d. c1735) and Melchora de los Reyes alias Vásquez (b. c1649), of Santa María de los Lagos?
According to the dispensa matrimonial de Marcos de Espitia, cited (but not transcribed) on his wikitree entry, Nicolasa Vásquez and Melchora de los Reyes alias Vásquez (8th gr-grandmother), of Santa María de los Lagos, were (half?) sisters:
Nicolasa Vásquez (d. bef1735) - Espanola -1- Melchora de los Reyes (b. bef1649) - Mestiza
m. Antonio de Quezada - Espanol m. Antonio Santoyo alias Pérez (b. c1635) - Mestizo
Anastacia de Quezada (b. c1715) - Espanola -2- Teodora Pérez (b. c1670)
m. Marcos de Espitia (b. c1710) - Castizo m. Andrés de Espitia (b. c1665)
Pedro Hernándes (d. bef. 1610) & María Rubio of Lagos are 11th gr-grandparents through son, Miguel.
Does anyone know much about the early (pre-1600) Hernández-Rubio Family in Lagos?
Thank you,
Travis
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.
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
