I am chatting with another person from Huejuquilla El Alto. She is a distant cousin of mine and she lives there. She is educated and also likes geneology.
She has told me that at San Antonio De Padua there is an "old panteon."
"Yo te había platicado que antiguamente enterraban a los muertos en el atrio de las iglesias o terrenos adjuntos. Como en san Antonio de padua allí está el cementerio antiguo del pueblito"
I have to keep note of the comment that she said there is a panteon antiguo at San Antonio de Padua. It must be older than the panteon of the present in Huejuquilla.
The other panteon antiguo that was at Huejuquilla (which I have mentioned and shown with photos of that location), was removed.
The old panteon of San Antonio De Padua, I need to visit it.

Panteon Antiguo at San
I did a search on googles map satellite view, looking at San Antonio De Padua for the panteon and found this:

On googles Map the coordinates are: 22.564976, -103.847410

I am going to have to make a list of places to check where there are panteons to look for my ancestors
Now she tells me that the old panteon is:
"Está frente a la placita o presidencia"
"el arbol esta afuera de la iglesia y a la izquierda de la iglesia esta el panteon"
So I guess that I would look for the Church and then look towards the left. So those graves must be as old as the Hacienda itself. Since in the old days, the graves were put next to the church before they began going to the cemetaries away from the church
