HACERCA DEL APELLIDO DE ALMEIDA

I'm resending because the whole message did not get sent.

Lupita, I have Almeida in one of my family lines. They are from Pinos, Zac. and Hidalgo del Parral in Chihuahua. I have noticed Almeida in Aguas and in San Felipe, Guanajuato. It seems to me that the Almeida's moved around a lot. I have a small collection of data on Almeida families which I don't think are related to me. But, you never know. Below I am sending you facts which might be related to your Almeida family.

Five children who are 'Baez Almeida':
Juan Nepomuseno Pasqual Baez Almeida, bp. 21 may 1774; Maria De Jesus Bais Almeida, bp. 22 feb 1777; and Jose Trenidad bais Almeida, bp. 9 jun 1779. All are in Batch J/K 603208, film: #279260 and have the parents 'Joachin Baez/s and Luisa De Almeida. Maria Catharina Bais Almeida, bp. 5 may 1783 and Josse Agustin Sesario Baes Almeida, bp. 6 sep 1785 are from Batch C603209, film #279261.
Parents are the same as the other three except for Josse the spellings are: Juachin and Luiza. All of the baptisms were in Nstra. Sra. de la Asuncion, Jalostotitlan, Jalisco. [from IGI]

Two children who are 'Almeida Lupersio':
Miguel Almeida Lupersio, bp. 10 jun 1700 and Agustin Almeida Lupersio, bp. 26 apr 1703 in the same church in Jalos. Both are in Batch C603201, film #279253. [from IGI]

Just in case you don't have the film info:
Luiza De Almeida married Augustin Dionicio Casillas 9 oct 1768, batch M603225, film #279296. Bride's parents: Augustin De Almeida, Josepha De Hermosillo, place born: Rio De La Laxa; groom's parents: Maria Antonia Gallegos, place born: Guadalaxara.
Juana De Almeida married Joseph Nicolas Albares Tostado 19 jan 1750, same batch and film as Luiza.
Bride's parents: same above; groom's parents: Juan Alvares Tostado, Maria Rodriges. I have the names and dates of baptism for six of their children. If you like I can send them to you later. They are in batch numbers: C603205, K603206, C603207. [from IGI] Let me know.

In the VRI I found many, many Almeida in D.F. Most of them are in the Asuncion church in Cuauhtemoc. For example: Melchora De Almeida y Seijas married Francisco Antonio Perez in 28 dec 1704, batch M619652, film #35271. The bride's parents: Agustin De Almeida y Seijas, Maria Fernandes Lupersio; groom's parents: Geronimo Perez, Maria Thereza Del Posso.

The VRI has two batch numbers for Jalos you might want to use: M603227 (1780-91), #279298 and C603203, (17212-35), #279255. I suggest that you go to the VRI and type in 'almeida' in surname field, region- Mexico, state- All, leave exact spelling off and see the list.

Also in the VRI I found: Francisco De Esquibel De Seijas bp. 10 nov 1683, batch C619191, #35174 Asuncion church, Cuauhtemoc, D.F.; parents: Manuel De Esquibel, Josepha De Seijas. There are two other baptisms in batch C619587, same film, same father's name and mother is Josepha De Almeida. I think this is a very strong hint that this family group might be related to the ones in Jalos.

I found an earlier 'Gonsales De Almeida' married in 1632 in Santa Veracruz church, in Cuauhtemoc, D.F. He is born in Isla las Canarias. She (almeida) is born in Mexico City. It's likely that some of the Almeida are very early arrivals in the capital.

You wrote in Spansh. I can re-write this all in Spanish if you like. Maybe you already have all of this information. I have some more stray facts which don't seem to apply to my family tree. If you would like to see it in Spanish, let me know. I would send it to your other email address as a Word attachment. I don't like the way this program of mine handles Spanish in emails.

Hopefully I have helped you at least a little. Good luck... this family drove me crazy over a year ago. Their names are impossible to predict. Often the children have almeida from the mother not the father, etcetera....
