Does a Nicasio or Narciso Esparza ring a bell? Is Nicasio a name? (est. birth 1810) in Calvillo, Ags. Bill does do you have this person as a descendant of Lope Ruiz de Esparza? Any help is appreciated.

Daniel,

Although the name Nicasio is not common, it is definitely a proper hispanic
name. For example, a Nicasio Esparza married a Crespina Lopez in Calvillo
on 10 May 1835. Is this the Nicasio you're looking for? The only Nicasio
Ruiz de Esparza in my database was born 100 years earlier (1703) in the town
of Aguascalientes, not in Calvillo. I also have a Francisco Xavier Narciso
Ruiz de Esparza born in 1714. Both were baptized at the catholic church of
El Sagrario, in Aguascalientes. Sorry.

Bill

Hello Bill, I found a Nicasio as a father of Francisco Esparza but I'm not
sure if it's my Francisco. So I will order the film ASAP since practically
all of my lines go back to Calvillo which is good. Who are the latest
Esparzas that you have for Calvillo or Ags.?

Daniel,

The latest Esparza (from Calvillo) in my database is Juan Ruiz de Esparza, married 1752 to Ana Gertrudis Alonso de los Hinojos (another compounded surname). Juan was born in Calvillo, but was married in Aguascalientes. Unfortunately, none of my ancestors was from Calvillo, so I have not checked any church records there. The latest of my ancestors bearing the Ruiz de Esparza surname was my great grandmother Josefa Frías Ruiz de Esparza, born in Rincón de Romos in 1848. She was the daughter of Antonio Frías and Refugio Ruiz de Esparza. Josefa married Wilhelm Ludwig Strecker, a german engineer, in 1870. Wilhelm and Josepha were the parents of my grandfather Guillermo Strecker Frias (b. 1879 d. 1947).

I probably will not be able to help you much with your genealogy until you get into the early 1700's. I have done a pretty thorough research of the early settlers of Aguascalientes, so that will be relatively easier. The Esparzas started pouring in in the early 1700's.
