Simon RUIZ DE ESPARZA is my 13x great-grandfather. I just uploaded his descendant tree at http://www.nuestrosranchos.org/filemanager/active?fid=2996 . Would someone with knowledge of that line please take a look at it to see if we match data or for possible errors on my part?

I was present when someone, (an instructor) told a group of people that a family member had asked him for a copy of his genealogy and he responded by telling his relative that he was not going to give him anything because he had worked hard and had spent many years and a lot of money compiling his genealogy. This individual told the group that they should not share their genealogy either, "que les cueste a ellos también" were his words.

I just receieved notice that my films have arrived at the Family History Center. In the film section of this site, how does the indexing come up? Is it automatic or do I enter information that I have found? The center I went to said I could download the film if I bring my own memory device.

Bill,
In addition to Mathias Macias Valades, whom I found by accident in a list of confirmations, and the children (Thomas, Josefa and Ursula) that you mentioned in your last message (under the Luiza Esparza Lozano or Luisa Esparza Lizalde-forum topic), I also have Juan, my 7X grandfather. Here is his info and of his children and grandchildren:

Tengo algunos ancestros en Cuquío que me gustaría compartir para saber si ustedes tienen información sobre ellos. Yo desciendo del matrimonio de:

1.- Felipe Ortiz con Juana de la Barrera; padres de Francisca Ortiz de la Barrera casada con Juan Velásquez Sánchez en Cuquío el 07 de enero de 1721.

I was just wondering if anyone out there has these two films....the numbers are.
639969 and 639964.

Hola a todos. Aprovechando la discusión en torno del apellido Romo de Vivar, quiero exponer la inquietud que alguien me planteó acerca de que algunos ascendientes fueron caballeros templarios. En lo personal, desconozco que tan cierto sea esto o no.

For the last two years I have been working on putting together my mother's family history. It started out with an small idea and has grown into an extensive project. The printing of it became too expensive so I decided to go with a power point presentation format. This has allowed me to include many bells and whistles to the book and make copies for my family members. At first I wasn't sure of what to include so I did a "what to include list" and used that as my guide. Next, what did I have, need and what did I want to include... I wanted an interesting cover page for the book and then continued with a

Hello-

I have been reading the posts on these two names, Tello de Lomas and Sandi de Diaz Lines, and wanted to know if anyone has information on my below ancestors.

Stuart, Are you saying that the actual entry in the church book states Joseph instead of Jose? That is weird, because I thought it only happened in entries that were transcribed (indexed?) by someone who took liberties. And yes, ph is Greek--I just taught Antigone by Sophocles. ABB

Fellow Historians--

I have always been told that the fall from world power for Spain was in 1588 because of the Spanish Armada. Perhaps there are other opinions and perhaps it depends on which part of the world you got your history lessons from? Comments?

I would like to access copies of the Zacatecas records that you have compiled. I' m not sure if this is the correct procedure for communicating such requests. Thank you in advance, Raymond Medrano

Hi, Daniel:

I checked my family history center for films in the area you asked, Hidalgo
del Parral in the 1600's, but they are all from the 1800's after 1850.

Alguien tiene información de Ana de Lizarrarás, quien fue madre de Desiderio Martín Gallardo.

Ayer buscando información sobre el matrimonio de Desiderio Gallardo y Jerónima de Torres, en Aguascalientes alrededor del año 1680, encontré un contrato de compra venta de una esclava entre Desiderio Martín Gallardo y Juan Altamirano de Castilla. En mencionado contrato se menciona que Desiderio adquirió a la esclava de parte de su madre Ana de Lizarrarás.

I would appreciate any comments, corrections and / or additions to my following 'dead-ends',
Juan MARTINES-CALBILLO and his wife Josepha AGUILERA De Sandi, and their descendants.

Also, what is the connection, if any, between them and the following couple:

Yeah, I did the same thing. I first uploaded my Gonzalez file separate from
my other file. I just uploaded it again through my original genealogy
file. You go to your genealogy file where your other family trees are and

Hello everyone,

I'm a new member to this group, and I wanted to let you know I have uploaded my GEDCOM which includes over 6,000 names. A lot of this tree is from Zacatecas, Aguascalientes, and Jalisco.

I learned the following when consulting with a volunteer at my local FHC and am posting it in the hopes that it may be of use to others. If the Catholic marriage was of two people of different parishes, the banns would need to be posted in each church where each was then living.
