Yes, I have found such varying descriptions of race in baptisms in my research. One family had several children, and I was amazed that each child was listed with a race different from his parents. In this family I found "espanol", "yndio", "mestizo", and "mulato". A rainbow family.

My ancestors have been traced to this area of Jalisco. So far I have Miguel Mora born in La Barca in 1882-1963. His father was Jose Miguel Mora born in 1855 in Jamay, Jalisco. His father was Jose Maria Mora born about 1831 in Ocotlan.

I am submitting the following for whatever input/help the group can offer. All from Jerez.

Hello Everyone,

I am looking for the parents or any info on Diego Diaz Montanez de Sandi and Juana Josepha Albares Tostado, who were married Jan 13, 1737 in Nochistlan.
I found in the LDS files a Juana Maria Alvares Tostado born 1721 Jalostotitlan, parents: Lucas Alvarez Tostado and Apolonia Fernandez Cordero. But I am not certain if it is the Juana I am looking for.

I am grateful for the information I have gotten from the group. Thanks to Member Sally for giving me info to carry my line forward. The following is provided for any comments, suggestions, corrections, leads etc.

My great-grandfather's grandfather Jose Lorenso Santoyo (born abt. 1775) was son of Joseph (Manuel?) Santoyo and Maria Josefa Diaz (de Leon?). I have not been able to find Jose Lorenso's birth certificate, but in his marriage (11 may 1808, San Jose de Ojuelos, Jal) to Maria Josefa Masias the parents of both are listed. In a search of Jose Lorenso's siblings I found the following individuals whom I believe, by the names of the parents, the timeline (1770-1802) and the places (all localities linked to Cienega de Mata & Ojuelos), to be siblings.

No, what I saw was film numbers for the church in Moyahua dating from 1814 to the 1600's.  If we could get a hold of those films we would be able to extend our lines.   I believe that is why we are not able to find records on Silverio Reynoso.  He and many other family members would be on those films.

Greetings!

Daniel,

I just checked FamilySearch.org and it is not updated. It has a new look, but I am not finding in the IGI what I am finding in the Pilot Site (see link below).

Hello All, the familysearch website the one we know

Hola Claudia ,how are you ? Well I hope . I descend from the Reynoso line of Jalisco. There were 2 brothers Francisco and Diego Reynoso whose parents were Francisco Reynoso (born In Peru ) and Mariana Padilla Davilla (Culiacan and related to all Padillas in the Area) . The 2 brothers married 2 sisters Josefa and Margarita Renteria. Francisco married Josefa (1659)in Guadalajara and Diego married Margarita in(1680) Juchipila ,Zacatecas. So in a nut shell Francisco stayed in Jalisco and Diego in Zacatecas.What are your thoughts ?

Hi Daniel and everyone,

Taking a moment to reply to Daniel concerning my maiden last name, de la O. This is my father's paternal last name and I have located an aunt who is doing research on the de la O Ortiz branch of the family. I'm extremely busy right now. My seven siblings and I are getting together in El Paso, Texas on August 1st to celebrate our Mom's 80th birthday. I was appointed the job of writing Mom's story and my husband is putting together a genealogical tree. We also collected as many pictures as possible to share with the family. As you can imagine this has become quite an undertaking. This project has taken over our lives for the past few months. Hopefully when we return from Texas in August, we'll to participate more fully in the information exchange for Nuestros Ranchos. We traveled to Mexico in April to meet aunts and uncles and they gave us so much valuable information that I definitely recommend that anyone doing genealogical research should travel to their

Hello everyone!!!

My grandfather's name is Mateo Quesada.? His parents were Emigdio Quezada and Micaela Ibarra.
Mateo Quesada was christened on 26 Sep 1881 @ Nuestra Senora de los Dolores, Teocaltiche, Jalisco, Mexico.

I found the following additional information on Maria Gabay:

"Gaspar Melchor y Maria Gabay se casaron el 24 de Julio de 1657" This looks like a second marriage for Maria Gabay.
