Hola todos,

From the moment I started researching the history of Aguascalientes, I realized that most of the large haciendas owned by our ancestors were land grants (mercedes de tierras) awarded by the Spanish crown to the early settlers and those who participated in que conquest of Mexico. Land grants were intended to promote agriculture, cattle breeding and mining in the area.

I’ve done some research of Alonso de Arevalo and Beatriz Lopez de Ayala who settled for a time in Colima. I've read several books referring to this couple.

It makes me sad that a lot of my ancestors from Tamazula came from Cotija and I can't find anymore information.

Could someone please transcribe the attached text after the entry of Manuel Sanchez and Juliana Sepulveda in this civel birth registration. Manuel and Juliana are the "grandparents"

thank you

This may be old news to some of you but for me and maybe others, I've
located a YouTube site that might be able to help the novice, such as myself,

Hi all,

Does anyone have any information regarding the surname Medrano in San Francísco Cerro Gordo, or Atontonilco?

Hola primas y primos,

Hola, Buenas Noches.

Queridos compañeros y paisanos. Alguien tendrá información acerca de Felipe Díaz de Lomas?

Hi, I'm Mayra and I've only recently (about a month or so) started doing genealogy research. I've found this fascinating and I've really enjoyed discovering my family's history.

Hello everyone,

Hi, I’m looking for a file of a census taken in 1861 to establish a new municipal of Degollado, Jalisco. A historian from Degollado wrote me this.

Hola Prim@s,

One of the brick walls on my family tree has been broken by this finding... hope you find it useful too

Lucas García de Alba e Isabel Martín del Campo
Información Matrimonial

Hi everyone,

Hi,

I have traced my La Riva line to Tomas Jaquez who married in San Juan Del RIo, Durango in 1689. The marriage record stated he was from Somberette, Zacatecas. I guess he was he was born about 1660. I can't find church records for that period in Somberette. I suspect the family was French. I am looking for any information for the early colonial Somberette. I would like the names of several books just on Somberette. I know about the mines but outside of the Toolosa and Ybarra familes I do not know about other families living there. I know by looking at some immigration records, some Jacquez came from Flanders. If anyone can give me any clues or suggestions I would most appreciate it.

    Within the last 2-3 months, someone posted a message which included the address of a Mexican governmental website that has online historical maps of various parts of Mexico.  I can't find that sit

.

Many of my husbands ancestors were born and most likely died in Calvillo. I doubt that I will be able to visit in my lifetime. Are there any records or information on all burials in the cemetery?

Hola Prim@s:

For those investigating DE URIBE, MARTIN DEL CAMPO, GARCIA DE ALBA families, hope you find this useful

Dispensa matrimonio Antonio Michel & Josefa Uribe / Ejutla

Hi,

Can someone please help me identify the name of the Ranch where he passed? It's hard to read and I'm thinking Rancho Altamiraro or Atlamirano?

Buenos días,

Hello everyone

I came across this information on the Informacion matrimonial of Tomas Castañeda con Josefa Orta (3.grandparents) as they were related... the record I'm referring to is:
https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:9392-K49X-5V?i=119&cc=18745…

Does this mean that there would have been a dispensa? or is the little piece of paper is the priest giving them the okay?

What are your thoughts?

Hi Everyone,
