Diaz Family - Tepatitlan De Morelos, Jalisco, also Luna - Mayahua De Estrada, Zacatecas

Thank you for the tip Sandra. You are right, even though I have listed Moyahua as my grandmother's place of origin, she was actually from Pueblo Viejo del Municipio de Juchipilia. Also, I should note that I listed her maiden name as Juanita Magallanes Luna when her actual given name was Juana Magallanez Luna (1-6-1904). Juana's mother was named Albina Magallanez who was born abt. 1867. According to some original vital records that my family maintains on my granadmother (Juna Luna) her father was a C. FLorencio Luna who was 36 years (1865) old at the time of my grandmothers birth. My family who never knew him, as he did not migrate to the U.S with his wife, Albina Magallanez, believe his name was Florencio Luna.

Looking through Familysearch.org there is a a Albina Magallanes that was married to a Florentino Luna in 1881 and it also lists Abina Magallanes's parents as - Mother - Ma. Trinidad Benavides - Father - Guillermo Magallanez & Florentino Luna's parents to be Domingo Luna & Julia Avila. I will be commiting more time to this in the near future. I really appreciate your help and hope to be discussing my family, or our family, together in the future.

Hi Reye,

My family is also partly from Moyahua. When you search, also look at Juchipila, Amoxochitl and Contitlan, Zac. I have a lot of Luna's in my tree from that entire area that are connected. The towns are very close to each other.

Also, a tip, anything can happen in a family tree... So don't walk away from the possibility of your other family also having a branch in Zac. My family went back and forth between Zac, Jal and Aguascalientes throughout the generations.

Suerte and welcome!

Hello, I am new to the group and in the process of researching my father's family (Diaz) which is from Tepatitlan De Morelos, Jalisco. I have included what I know so far. I am still awaiting some records from the Family History Center. I will also be researching the Luna line in Mayahua De Estrada, Zacatecas as my father's mother was a Luna. I just wanted to post this message in case anyone just happens to have some information and/or I can be of any help in the future. Also, If I should post this information somewhere else, let me know. I also have this information entered into ancestry.com. Thank you for your time.

Hey Tony, well I know my Granfather, Jose Maria Diaz was born around the same time as your grandfather, 1896 to be exact. However, my grandfather was born in Tepatitlan De Morelos, Jalisco, Mexico, not in the State of Zacatecas, were my grandmother, Juana Luna, was from. Also, as I have been briefly tracing my Diaz roots, it appears the Diaz familoy, for the most part, stayed in Tepatitlan, although my grandfather apparently deviated from that pattern. According to my long lost Cousin Daniel Mendez (look at the posts) he has advised me that the Diaz clan really never left Tepa. So, unless we can trace your grandfathers roots back to Tepatitlan, I'm not sure if he is going to link into my family line in Mexico. However, I will take a look at the information you gave me and also keep an eye out for any possible links.

Reye,

My name is Tony Diaz, wondering if our common surname may share an ancestor or two. My grandfather, Gerardo Diaz, was born in Momax, Zacatecas, ca. 1898. His parents were from Rancho de Contreras. I understand that Momax (close to Tlaltenango) is near the Jalisco border. Would Tepatitlan be in the vicinity? Have you had your DNA results posted with the Genographic project? Curious to know if we may be related, in spite of the commonality of our shared last name.

This is so exciting. My long lost cousin Daniel Mendez! I was hoping my post would generate a response. Didn;t know it would come so quick. I will definetly order the marriage records for Manuel. Now when you you are related to the same Aceves, do you mean Teresa De Asebes that was married to Nicolas Diaz Castellano?

I am also related to the same Aceves in Tepa. Were double cousins! I made a mistake your Manuel Dias should be a grandchild of my gggggf Pedro Diaz Castellano he only had one son and the rest were daughters. His name was Joseph Diaz Castellano. I would definetly order the marriage for your manuel! Your manuel should have been born ca. 1725 or so and a great grandson; my mistake. Manuel should be a son of Joseph. I will look into this.

Yea, I will have to order that marriage record for Manuel Diaz (Joseph Manuel Diaz), as I am not finding anything that links him to Joseph Dias and/or Pedro Diaz Castellano. I tried the dob of 1725 and cannot find any birth records for Manuel Dias or any of the other last names that could have been used by him. Also, in regards to Pedro Dias, I was able to find a Pedro Dias born in 1660 in De Atotonilco, Jalisco, who also married a Augustina Albares in 1680. However, I do not see this same Pedro Dias being born in Spain? He also has the son named Joseph Dias. Is this the same Pedro Dias Castellano you are referring to?
