Hi Everyone,
I recently got the results of my ancestry DNA and I wanted to share the findings.

Ethnicity Estimate:
Native American—North, Central, South 37%
Southern Zacatecas

Fellow “Ranchos” members:

Found an article in a newspaper from Encarnacion de Diaz dated 1973 written by Manuel J. Aguirre.

At what age did children do their confirmations?

Has anyone ever not found a baptism registration between 1845-1860 in Jalisco? I have been searching for one for my great great grandfather for about a year now and no luck.

Antonio de Mata y Rebollar is my Maternal (Martinez/Pena) 6th Great Grandfather. He was born about 1674. He married Rosa de Santos on 15 April 1695 in Aguascalientes, Aguascalientes, Mexico.

Does anyone know there surrounding parishes near Cotija. It appears there isnt any church records of Cotija for my grandmother in 1815. Please Help. Thanks.
