A great big WELCOME John,

I have been trying to connect Candelario Alvarado from Villa de Santiago in the state of Nuevo Leon to any of the Alvarados' from Zacatecas . What I have on him is this :

I have just found a 1906 Valle de Guadalupe baptism that lists my maternal grandfather-in-law and mother-in-law as sponsors and gives me some info about them, but I need a little help. The microfilm is poor and flowering script is almost driving me mad. Here is what I think it says .....padrinos Julian Alviso casada labrador de cuarenta an~os originario de San Miguel y su esposa Catarina Jauregui de veinte y ocho an~os de edad originaria del hijo de Ayaca y vecinos de Mexcala......

Are the Banauelos related tothe Trevinos way back in the 1500s? Some children of Diego Tevino and
Francisca Alcocer took Trevino and others Banuelos? I think Francisca Alcocer died in Guadalajara in mid 1500s. SOme of her sons moved to Zacatecas city. Diego Trevino, the son for one. Children of

Maureen,

I think that most every municipio had an Ojo de Agua and maybe even several Ojos de Agua so it may be a hard thing to pinpoint. Also don't put too much emphasis on Ojo de Agua because people moved around from one rancho to another. For my grandfather I have seen about 5 different names of different ranchos when his children were born. One would say originario del Caquiste another would say originario de La Noche Buena another El Salitre and another would say Rancho Las Pilas and so on. According to mom and my aunts and uncles he did not live in all of these and mostly lived in El Rancho del Caquiste and was born in El Salitre.

here is the begining of my search please check it out maybe some of these names are familiar, See at http//wwwnuestroranchos.com/node/15276

Figen and I are headed out of town for First Night: Williamsburg, VA.

I'll catch you in 2007 have a safe but joyful celebration.

Hi, My name is Raul Luna of Rialto, California. I have been working on my genealogy for several years now. My primary interest has been Juchipila, Zacatecas, where my father, David Hernandez Luna, was born at El Rancho de Vallecitos, in 1905. Most of his ancestors were born in Juchipila, and it is the location where I have found most of the family information. Moyahua, which is near by, is also another place where relatives have come from. My grandfather, Atanacio Robles Luna, died during the Revolution War of 1909 while assisting in burying their fellow dead soldiers. Atanacio contracted a disease while doing this, and was buried with his fellow soldiers. The location is not quite clear. The Luna family in Juchipila is very, very, large..all grandfathers came from large families. Recently, I found a gold mine of informatin on gggrandfather, Pedro Gonzales Robles. Surnames that I am searching for from Juchipila are: Luna, Estrada, Rodriquez, Lamas,Robles, Flores,Esparza, & Reinoso (Reynoso).

Welester,

If you are in Monterrey and know Israel Cavazos Garza, could you do me a favor? Israel lives in Ciudad de Guadalupe I believe? He wrote book on the ciudad. Israel devotes a chaper in the book to El Tierra Dura in San Rafael I bielieve. The property belonged to the Sepulveda family. Israel mentions the will of Vicente SEpulveda Garza made in 1818. Vicente Sepulveda is my great great great grandfather.My grandfather Arturo Ayala y Robles was the son of Yldefonso Ayala y Spulveda and Porfiria Robles y Rivas and was born in Saltillo in 1868. His cousin was Vito Alessio RObles. Yldefonso Ayala was the son of Ramon Ayala and Refugia Sepulveda y Garza and born 1837 in Monterrey. Refugia was the daughter of Vicente Sepulveda y Garza and his second wife Maria Josefa Garza y Yslas a nd born in 1804 in Guadalupe Vicente Sepulveda was baptized in 1745 in Salinas Victoria. I would dearly like to have a copy or translation of the will. COuld you talk to him about getting a copy of

Hi Alicia ,

I'm Welester and I am currently living in Monterrey , Mexico however I am American and was born and raised in Los Angeles , Calif. and up until I moved to Monterrey I lived in Marina del Rey , Ca.

I just wanted to say how happy I am for Esther and Welester to have
found each other after all these centuries. Imagine that, for a few
hundred years ago two families that lived with each other and knew each

this is exactly like I feel and thanks to Jonathan for expressing my
feeling. also thanks for the admonition to calm down I needed it.

thanks again Jonathan for the hard work you have done for many members

I'm not into poetry but every once in a while a poem comes along that
rocks me. Listen to "My Roots Run Deep" by Bobby LeFebre. Also listen to
the entire Tiahui Podkast #5 for other poetry especially a poem by Lil

I just arrived this morning from Los Angeles and finally have a moment to catch up on Nuestros Ranchos postings. I wanted to share a bit about my trip to Mexico this year. While I was down there for a wedding and therefore largely busy with family events, I did get some genealogy-related things done.

According to the book by Jesús Gómez Serrano "Los españoles en Aguascalientes durante la época colonial", in 1792 visiting dignitary José Menéndez Valdés compiled a population census of the district of Guadalajara, which underlines the importance that Aguascalientes had as a final destination for many spanish and portuguese immigrants. Along the same lines, the local "padrón de población" compiled by Félix Calleja in 1792, confirms the data gathered by Menéndez Valdés and includes the name, origin, age and occupation of european immigrants or "españoles" that lived in Aguascalientes.

Dear Ranchos Members;

I would like to take this opportunity to thank each and everyone of you for your contributions whether major or minor to this group. You know something is great when you cannot imagine life before you had it. It's like the microwave or the toaster, they just sit there on your counter and you may choose to use it or not but when you need it and it's not there you know you have to have it. All of you are like my microwave, or toaster, each a different brand, color, size and shape but useful and indispensable none the less. I can't imagine life without Nuestros Ranchos and that means "YOU"

this is already in the links page but thought I would re introduce it
since I just saw it again on the Scout Report:

Mexico DNA project. I hope your holidays are blessed and prosperous.

I would like to thank my recent found Cousin Linda from Everett. She has given my a great Christmas gift one I found a lost cousin I thought I would never find. My parents know her Gutierrez relatives very well but never met Linda.

How does this help one's genealogy? I heard you can see where you and someone else like Royal shared a common ancestor at one point. Can it extend your genealogy any further by doing this?
