Help locating an ancestor
Do you have dates for birth or marriage?
If I were searching for this relative I would look at the following links.

There is also a book titled "Genealogía de Nochistlán antiguo reino de la Nueva Galicia en el siglo XVII según sus archivos parroquiales" by José Luis Vázquez y Rodríguez de Frías (2001). It has a ton of surnames for Nochistlan. Might try your local library to see if it is available.

Locating an ancestor
Juanita,
Thank you for this very helpful input of yours.After 2 intense hours of looking through these documents I did not find anything on the ancestor i'm searching for.Is there another way I can look at these documents rather than just flipping page after page.

Locating an ancestor
Abram,
It is a tedious job and I only wish there was an easier way to go through the pages, but unfortunately I don't know of any. On the other hand if you know the year that you believe your ancestor might have lived in the area you can guess estimate a place within the file for the year. For instance, let's say there 600 images for the years 1881-1889 entering 150 at the image number box would advance you a 150 images.
Good luck,
Juanita
