I don't have any ancestors from Zacatecas (and my husband doesn't have any ancestors from Jalisco), that migrated to Guanajuato. I know very little about Guanajuato, except that many migrants to the US are from there. It had a very rich silver mine centuries ago, and many Indian tribes. I don't know when it became a state.

I am chasing a fleeting "Puente" from Guanjuato and imagining that this
Puente might be one of my Puente's but I have very very little to base
that on and just wanted to know if there was any kind of historical
relationship between the two areas. For example when I first started the
group it was only for Jalisco and Zacatecas since I didn't know the
strong historical association that Aguascalientes has to the these two
states and I was thinking well who knows that there might also be some
historical info about Guanajuato that I'm ignorant of that I should know
about.

It all started when over a 100 years of records that I need in
Zacatecas, Zacatecas turned up missing but there is a confirmation
record for the 1749 time period that I'm hoping will turn up my Justo
Rufino Puente GGGG grandfather. In that film there is this Agustin
Puente whose wife is Juana Rodriguez and there is this one record that
comes up on the www.familysearch.org site for this couple and they seem
to be from San Felipe, Guanajuato.

Anyway I don't have any other leeds and as slim as this one is I'm
dreaming that this might open a door or two. There does seem to be a lot
of Puente's in the state of Guanjuato. I wish I could do a massive Y-DNA
comparison with all the Puente's who have proven historical roots in
different parts of Mexico and find out where my GGGGG grandfather
Antonio Puente was from "IF" he was not from Zacatecas, Zacatecas.
