I am new to this group and grateful to you for being here. Has anyone done studies of the history of specific ranchos? As part of my research into my grandfather's family (surname Angel, from Jesus Maria), I wonder if anything has been written about the families who lived on the ranchos of El Capulin de Chavez, Las Cruces, El Pandillo, and/or La Mesita de Ornelas? Who owned the ranchos, what did they produce, and who worked there?

You might be interested in these death records I found in La Yesca records.
If anyone is looking for the 1904 death certificates for Jesus Maria, Municipio del Nayar, Nayarit, you can find them under La Yesca civil registration (1889-1911). Pages 1500-1512.
Good luck!
Jesús María, JAL & Jesús María, NAY
Jesús María, Jalisco and Jesús María, Nayarit share the same name but are two distinct municipalities in neighboring states, and are easily confused for each other.
Records for Jesús María, Jalisco can be found here:

Welcome!
I also have Ángel from Jesús María in my family tree.
In the museum gift shop of the Museo Tlatelli Jesús María in Jesús María, Jalisco, I purchased the book listed below. It's not exactly what you're looking for, but it's close.

Dear Glenn,
Thanks for the lead. I've written to the museum to see if I can get a copy from them. I'll also try inter-library loan although it looks like it was self-published so it may not be easy.
Best,
Angelita
