John,
I understand that children's surnames often do not match the patrilineal usage we employ today. However, often (but not always) those 'inconsistencies' have a 'logical' explanation. In the example of Gertrudis, Nava was her mother's surname. Other siblings took the Munoz from the mother side, while others the Gonzalez from the Paternal Grandfather in all sorts of combinations (with or without de Hermosillo). However, I wonder whether anyone knows of an Extracted Record that lists Ramirez de Hermosillo for members of that family. All the ones I've seen listed are Submitted Records. I wonder if all started with a transcription error (Ramirez instead of Gonzalez) with that error becoming perpetuated over time. By contrast, I do find Gonzalez Hermosillo as a surname asociated to Diego Alonso de Hermosillo's children. Just wondering.

Yes, it is good to hear your position on this, Joseph. I have been in other
forums for other groups and, one of my own postings I had no idea was
controversial, drew a very harsh attack from someone else in the group,

Hello Everyone,

My investigation has lead me to Lorenza Ruiz de Esparza and her father Lope Ruiz de Esparza with an anknown mother. Searching here in Nuestros Ranchos I found that her mother was Francisca Gabai Navarro de Moctezuma and Francisca's mother's name was Petronila Navarro and her father was Martin Navarro. Supposibly there is a Cortez/ Moctezuma connection threw Petronila.

Hello all, I would like to know if anyone has any tips about how to continue

I was up late last night searching the Family Search Labs pilot website,
too! It's great! Not only in the 1930 census have I found ancestors, but
in typing in names to do a search on, I found information I have been

This may be a question I should have asked at the beginning of my research, but someone told me there was a way to make a copy of records found on film at the FHC. I know how to get the film and look at it, but I wasn't sure if I could actually make a copy of the original document, especially when it's one of many on a page.

Hi John! To the rescue like always. :-) gracias!

The problem is that I have that info already... I'd like to see if anyone has the record itself to see which of the 2 Juan's in the family he is. Also, I'd like more info on his parents Francisco and Ana Quiteria if possible.

Hello to all!

I am sooo excited. I've been able to link my current Gomez line from Juchipila, Zac back 5 generations to a couple from Jalos. It was Juan Gomez and Ma de Jesus Carrillo, married on 1/27/1809 in Nuestra Senora de la Asuncion in Jalostotitlan, Jalisco. The problem is that Juan's parent's Francisco and Ana Quiteria Agredano had 2 sons named Juan, one Juan Januario and one Juan Eugenio. Which one of these married Ma de Jesus Carrillo in Jalos? Help!

I just wanted to let everyone know, that George & Peggy Ryskamp, just published a new book titled "Finding Your Mexican Ancestors, A Beginner's Guide". It is available through Ancestry at the moment. From what I have been able to read, it is a very good book, especially for beginners and for those of us, who have been researching for a while.

Good Evening All,
Would the group be so kind as to verify that no LDS film exists for Villa Garcia, Zacatecas births 1857/58?
I can't locate one, but I might have overlooked it. Thanks so much, Al
