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.
Thanks,
AyalaRobles

Jaques
Esther,
Have you had any luck with the Jaques line?
Bernardo Menchaca
Parish in Sombrerete (Villa de Llerena)
Esther:
I am not sure when the secular parish was founded in Sombrerete, but initially (in 1567) the church in the town was actually a Franciscan convent. I know from trying to research the Franciscan convent records from Colotlan, Jalisco that they can often be dispersed... some records may have been left behind with the newly founded secular parish (and thus filmed with those records) while others may have been sent back to the Franciscan Order archives (probably in Santo Domingo in the City of Zacatecas--which probably means they are lost). However, there are some surviving Franciscan records in a number of dedicated Franciscan Order archives in Mexico.
Colonial Somberette and Jacqez family
Perhaps the reason you can't find the records is because the town is
spelled Sombrerete. Marge:)

You also want to look in certain archives for "villa de Llerena", which was
its old name.

Colonial Somberette and Jacqez family
Pardon my spelling and mistyping but the Mormon site is still not showing anything on San Juan Bautista (Sombrerete, Zacatecas) before 1678. I need birth and marriages records before 1670. I have run out of records.
I know it is very difficult in most areas of Mexico to research anything earlier that 1700s. I am hoping to benefit from the experiences of more experienced researchers,
Thanks,

San Juan Bautista
To make a note I remember learning this lesson! Once you reach the "end: of your years for a parish make sure to look around the surrounding parishes or even the huge ones! I have ancestors living in Fresnillo, Zac baptizing their children in Guadalajara! Quite far! 3-hour drive. People traveled a lot back in those days. -Hope this helps. -Daniel Mendez del Camino

Travelling from Fresnillo to Guadalajara: was-San Juan Bautista
I think traveling to major cities like from Fresnillo to Guadalajara
(about 175 miles) was a major adventure. At 20 miles per day (guess at
mileage per day) would mean about 1 week going, staying for a while and
coming back a week. Sure put a hole in a month. I would guess they
gathered ALL the children that needed to be baptized to do them all at
once.

Travelling Priest
This is only speculation... but I don't think that people traveled to distant cities to have their children baptized. More than likely, it was the priest who travelled to the smaller towns. So even though the priest was from Guadalajara and he recorded the baptizism in Guadalajara, he probably performed the baptizism locally.
Just my two centavos...
Angie
Travelling Priest
As far as I know. Only the Bishop travel to perform the "confirmaciones".
Sylvia H Corona
Travelling Priest
Angie,
I believe you are right.? with the Comfirmations they waited for the Bishop (or could it of been the cardinal?) to come to town, thats why when you look at comfirmations they are of all ages and the same date.....
just my 2 cents..

It was always the bishops who confirmed people in their pastoral visits to
all the parishes of their diócesis. There were no cardinals in Mexico until
the 20th century.

Travelling from Fresnillo to Guadalajara:was-San Juan Bautista
Hello all!
Joseph, you are right. My grandfather, Pedro Gomez Casillas born in 1893 in Juchipila, Zac, was an "arriero". He took merchandise and people between Juchipila and Aguascalientes, Guadalajara, etc by donkey or mule. My dad says it took them 3 days from Juchi to Guadalajara and close to a week to Zacatecas. Interesting how lazy we have gotten :-)
Another thing to remember about any record is that sometimes the godparents alone took the children to baptize... I've come across many mistakes due to that (wrong mom's last name is a major one for me, as well as some info on grandparents).
Saludos from San Antonio!!

Colonial Somberette and Jacqez family
Jaquez is a patronymic of Jacome or Jaime, it means the son of Jacome (an
old Spanish version of James) or of Jaime.

Asunto: Re: [Nuestros Ranchos] Colonial Somberette and Jacqez family
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.
Thanks,
AyalaRobles

Jaquez
Hi I was wondering if you had located anymore information on the Jaquez line? My great grandmother Maria Refugio Jaquez was from Sombrerete and I've traced back to the early 1700's so far.
