Hello,

I hope I am understanding your request to send the following URL and family

Does anyone have a family line that taps into this one? I am afraid there is not mich info, which is why I came to this site. I hope to find others who have relatives in common and that we can share information. I am not even sure this is the place to post this, but here goes! This is my addition to the database:

Efrain,

The site is actually http://search.labs.familysearch.org (URL may change
someday) not www.familysearch.org It is a new site, which will host all the
digitally published collections of the Family History Dept./FamilySearch. The

I was hoping that no one would ask...lol.

A preliminary survey has been done by a colleague of mine, however, they feel
that before it's published (or let me publish it on my blog) they would like to

I need help researching a Tomas Xaques(Jaques, Jaquez). He was from Sombrerete , Zacatecas .
He married in 1679 in San Juan del Rio, Durango. So I estimate he was born about 1654.
The baptismal records there begin at 1679 and the matrimonies at 1695 so they are not much use.

I've done several genealogy presentations--one for our local genealogy society and two for our local library. I enjoyed doing them but the best part was showing people HOW to do their own. I had a computer set up and a big screen, then I went to the Familysearch.org.

Hello All,

I just had a quick question, for everyone. How many of us, here in the Ranchos group, teach research classes or give genealogy presentations?

And I will be the first to say that, I do (In fact I teach a weekly class, and will be presenting at 2 conferences in September).

The Etzatlan, Jalisco portion of the 1930 Mexican Census was lost. I'll try to
come up with a more inclusive list of places that were 'lost.'

Hello everybody,

Although I am 56 years old, I am the "Benjamin member" of Nuestros Ranchos
..com

I am searching the ancestry of my grandfather, Jose Michel Vazquez
(1897-1990), married to Luz Lopez Pelayo (1898-1984). I believe both were

Aida,

I too am descended from some Acevedos that used the parish church in Tepetongo that served the communities of Salitrillo, Tinaja, Estancia, Buenavista, Salitral, Vivoras, Sauces, and a few others. I had the film # 0445156 that I transcribed for the time period you stated, and there is a gap in the records from 1780 to 1787. I looked at the index of the batch number for that film, and I didn't find any De La Vega or Vega, Bega or any Toribio or Bernardo Acevedo, Asevedo, Asebedo. Perhaps the records for your ancestors are lost, as they are for many of my ancestors.

Yes, Aida,

The reason for suggesting looking at the brothers' original wedding
documents is that, failing to first find the birth records of someone,
marriage documents often include the names of the parents of the bride and

Aida,

May I suggest for possible connection/leads the marriage records of the
following ...

Jose Maria Asevedo with Maria Guadalupe Escovedo, 1799, Pinos, Zacatecas
(Family History Library Batch No. M606319)

Felipe...Arturo lives here!

..I couldn't resist a bit of humor and at the same time acknowledging your
commitment.

Daniel,

Padrinos could be anyone who was Catholic and who was deemed to be in good standing with the church, thus they could be siblings. Often times the padrinos were not married to each other but usually were in some way related to the parents of the child who was baptised.

I have a Sebastian de Luna married around 1680 to Josefa Lozano, from Aguascalientes. The only Sebastian de Luna I've found around that time and region is the son of Luis de Luna and Josefa de Haro, or Esquivelm christened in Tlaltenango on 10 February, 1659. Could anyone confirm if he is the one married to Josefa Lozano?

This has been a question to me for a while. Although we are Mormon we still carry the tradition of Padrinoship. for instance mine are my grandfather and his 2nd wife. I have a question. can Padrinos be a brother and sister? Im trying to connect my Angela de Oropesa.

is there a map that identifies all the ranchos in the Jalisco area here on file
