I hope I have done this correctly.This is to Leticia Reynoso ,Where do your Reynoso Lines originate from ? Are your Reynoso ancestors Francisco married to Josepha Renteria (jalisco)or Diego Reynoso married to Margarita Renteria and wed in zacatecas.
I am making the switch from a PC to a Mac... not as extreme as it may seem since the new Macs run Windows and Windows applications natively in addition to Mac operating system and software. But I would like to find some good genealogy software that I can use on the Macintosh side of the system.

Hi,
I have traced the ancestry of some of the Rivas of Coahuila and Nuevo Leon to Rivas or de la Riva of Durango and the Quinones of Durango. Antonio Manual and Julian Rivas of Galeana, NL were born in Durango to Pedro Rivas and Maria Quinones who were married in 1723 at San Francisco de Asis, San Juan Del Rio, Durango. The records there only go to the late 1670's. Records for Nazas go to 1690s.

That's a good story. I remember my dad (a white German) howling, too, when
the mariachis would sing and play at our church fiestas. He may have had a
beer or two, but he would let out that characteristic howl, can't put it
Hola Bill y Jorge:
Gusto en saludarlos, espero estén bien y les deseo lo mejor.
Yo también les doy gracias a los 2 por sus informaciones ya que
como también yo estudio mi genealogía en los altos de Jalisco, todos
I wanted to thank everyone for helping me with those translations. I
realize more and more how important it is to go beyond literal
translations. Learning the history not only brings into the equation the
I am aware that the Northern California (NorCal) group had a meeting in March, but don't remember seeing a follow-up report - did I miss it? where would I find it?
Are there any other regional meetings being planned this year ... just in case I might be in your area at the same time as a planned meeting - I'd like to join in, if possible. Just trying to plan ahead ; - )
My name is Paula Wakefield and I am searching for maternal ancestors---any help will be appreciated. Thank You

Victoriano,
I can think of various translations of the verb "velar."
1.- [common] To stay awake, not to sleep; even as when "working the 'third
shift.' "
2.- [religion] To keep vigil. As in Rosaries and accompanying the body
I had some difficulty translating a couple of phrases found in parish
marriage records. I discovered they are Latin phrases that seem to be
terms used in parish documents that have specific meaning. I found some of
Being new to this group, I am somewhat hesistant to post anything and, thereby, annoy the membership! However, it doesn't make any sense to join and then sit back and wait...Anyway, I can find no more info on my great-grandparents and thought someone here might have some suggestions on how to find something when the information is so sparse. So, here goes...
I have just uncovered an ancestor who was married prior to her 12th birthday in the early eighteen hundreds. My genealogy software keeps giving a warning on this record. It seems many women were married around 15 or 16 years old during this time. This is the first one that was so young, but I know that it happened in Appalacian Mountains even up to the 1900's. I have not ordered the films yet to check for the accuracy and whether this is the right family, but has anyone else run across marriages where the bride was so young?
Does anyone know anything about this Family in aguascalientes. I had a Diaz line in Jalisco which eventually made it self back to Aguascalientes into the compund surname diaz de tiscareno:
HEre is my information
Greetings All,
Does anyone have any of the above surnames in their genological tree in the Chalchihuites, Sombrerete, Zacatecas area? What I have so far is:
Jose Goitia married Dolores Zamora around 1865.
Joseph,
Do you have a Gregorio RObles somewhere in there circa 1670 +/- 20 years. I believe my Gregorio might have come from Tepetongo, Zac to Saltillo. He married a Maria Sanchez. I have no clue where he was from. I believe Jalisco or Sombrette are other possibilities.
The source I found was published so it must be somewhat true, At least that's what I believe.
This is what the book is called
Enciclopedia de Navarra. Tomo IV. pp. 403-404 ESPARZA
Here is a small part of it in transalation
My name is Paula and I am searching maternal grandparents and back two generations. I am looking for --Castorena/Macias-----Hernandez/ Castorena and Hernandez/Guerra.. The records I have ( all from Mormon Family History site ) show these families in Aguacalientes, Zacatecas and Jalisco. Do these names sound familiar to anyone ?
I just ran across this article, which I believe someone had mentioned previously by reference to an article that talked about it. I am a bit of a math nerd so reading the actual article and its modeling assumptions is quite interesting.
I have found some new names to add to my family tree on my mother's side. I
got them from the parish records for the Santuario de Nuestra Senora de
Guadalupe Catholic church in Guadalajara, Jalisco. Film number is 0038507
David,
Yes, the baseline for inquiry/research for (Toribio and Isabel) birth dates
is 1520 to 1530, and we need to recognize that, this was the very start of
the colonization of the Nueva Espana (Mexico). So, availability of records
