Hi,
I have been working on my tree for a while, but I got a little stuck with Barthola Flores de la Torre (married in aprox. 1711 to Pedro Bañuelos).
In their marriage dispense, it states that she is the daughter of an indigenous woman named Maria Magdalena and of Hernan Flores de la Torre... and that she is from Mesquituta (not sure if I got the right name... I believe there is a town in Zacatecas called like this but then thought it could be confused with mesquitic...)..
The document does not state her age (or at least that is what I think... it was a long document, repetitive and there are some parts I could not figured out). I figure out that if she married in 1711 maybe she was born around 1690..?
I cannot find any other document that can help me find out which Hernan Flores de la Torre is this, in order for me to continue generations up....
I saw that in some family search trees, they have added Hernan Flores de la Torre y Sandi as her father... could this be correct? and if so, how can I get some document to prove it?
I hope someone could help me find out a little more about this.
Thanks!

Hola,
He estado trabajando en mi árbol por un rato, pero me quede atorada con Barthola Flores de la Torre (casada aprox. 1711 con Pedro Bañuelos).
En su dispensa matrimonial dice que ella es hija de una mujer indígena llamada Maria Magdalena y de Hernan Flores de la Torre... y que es de Mesquituta (no estoy segura de haber obtenido el nombre correcto del pueblo... creo que hay un pueblo llamado así en Zacatecas pero después pensé que podría decir también Mesquitic ...)
El documento no dice su edad (o al menos eso creo... era un documento largo, repetitivo y algunas partes no las pude descifrar). Yo supongo que si se caso en 1711 ella pudo haber nacido alrededor de 1690..?
NO puedo encontrar ningún documento que me ayude a descifrar cuál Hernán Flores de la Torre es su padre,para continuar con generaciones arriba....
He visto que en algunos arboles en family search, han agregado a Hernán Flores de la Torre y Sandi como su papa... será esto correcto? y de ser así, como puedo conseguir algún documento para probarlo?
Espero que alguien me pueda ayudar a encontrar mas información al respecto o me guie para saber donde puedo encontrar los records.
Gracias!
Barthola Flores de la Torre
I think the document does say her age, if I recall correctly. I believe she was in her early 30s at the time. It never says which Hernan Flores de la Torre is the father, so all we can safely assume is that Hernan Flores de la Torre and Ana de Sandi are grandparents or great grandparents. There's Hernan Flores de la Torre y Sandi and another Hernan Flores de la Torre who is the son of Luis Flores de la Torre y Sandi (I don't have the name of Luis' wife. I've seen a Maria Delgadillo but no sources.) I really wish people wouldn't add parents without sources. I know linking sources is time consuming, but at least put a note giving us a clue!
