TEST SITE - DO NOT USE - Development only

It seems to me that we have discussed Tom a good bit. He is resting
peacefully (I hope) so maybe we can let him rest for awhile, what do you
think? But if someone finds a good baptism record or tantalizing piece
of factual information showing evidence to old Tom's Mexican roots well
please bring it on. Why don't we give him a bit of a rest for now or
possibly take it to private email. As always I'm not telling folks what
to do just thinking that this might be best for all.

Hemos hablado de Tomas un poco ya. El esta descansando (Ojala que si)
que piensan de que lo dejamos descansar por un rato? Pero si alguien
tiene un acto de baptismo o un acto deliciosio de informacion factual
ensenyando preva de Tomas' conexcion a Mejico bueno mandalo al grupo
para que todos pueden verlo. Porque no horita dejamos a Tomas un
descanso o si quieren lleva la conversacion a correo electronicos
privados. No estoy diciendo que tienen que hacer esto nomas que pienso
que es bueno para todos

Patricia, I couldn't open the website. Maybe it's due to the weather here? Anyway, I'll be home late on Tuesday and hope to see you soon after. I do have an appointment Wednesday at the Temple. I'll let you know how it goes.

See you soon. Esther

Dear Researches--

For those who can read English, a nice biography can be had of Thomas A. Edison
at http://www.thomasedison.com/biography.html.

His connection to San Diego, where I live, is that he put in the electrical
lighting at the famous Hotel Del Coronado, or so I have heard.

I suspect that Thomas Edison was such a wonderful scientist that we would all
like to claim him as one of our own countrymen. For myself, I would like to
say he was Canadian but that would not be true. However, there is another whom
I can claim. Henry Woodward, a medical student of Toronto, Ontario, Canada and
his friend Matthew Evans invented the light bulb and not Edison. You can read
more about it at

My maternal side is all from Guanajuato. I concur with the earlier replies. Looks like Augustin Gonzalez. I did a search for barrios, districts or localidades and the following site lists this area. http://mexico.pueblosamerica.com/guanajuato/san-miguel-de-allende/

Anita,

It looks like an abbreviation for Agustin Gonzalez. Which, according to
Google Maps, is an actual place in Guanajuato, Mexico.

There is a Rancho La Taberna near Union de Tula. The problem is that the files are not indexed. Nearly all of the people living there now have the last name of Perez. Good Luck

Hi Ani:

I think you're correct in the location of both places. My greatgrandfather was from La Huerta, Jalisco and people there commonly called it "La Huerta de Jesús María".
In my own experience, when you look back for records before the 1900's, it is very common to find the baptisms, marriages, etc. in Purificación or Autlán that are near from there.

Joseph,

The following is a transcription of your document. The question-marks
indicate words are that are hard to read on the microfilm. I corrected the
priest's misspellings like "beinte", "cepultura", "cegundas" etc.

"oriundo" means "originario de". A.E.A could be an abbreviation of

Hi Joseph:

Here's my 2 cents worth. I am sure somebody else will come up with the rest
of the information.

1- It says: " Oriundo de la villa de Aguascalientes" ( native of Ags.)

2-It looks like: :Uno de los Españoles ----- anteriormente vecino?" It is
posing a question.

3- If you look 4 lines above this line you'll see that it says:" vecino DE
esta Jurisdiccion" Therefore, the name I think is: "Maria de Flores DE ????

What to you looks like a "y" is actually the word: "de"

4- At the bottom of the document it says: " Para que conste lo firme con el
señor cura" If you look at the first letter of the word "señor" it has to
be an "s" and it looks very similiar to the first letter of her last name,
which I can't really make out what it is. Like you say , the last letter
could be an "r" or an "s" . to me it looks more like an "s"

I hope this will help.

John Gonzalez.

>> 1) What is the word right before this phrase: "De la Villa de
> Aguascalientes"?
>
> 2) What do ALL

1) The word before that phrase is "oriundo", meaning "from" or "born in"

3) Looks like Lisar (maybe short for Lisarde)

Hi,

I was hoping some could look at this record and give me your opinion of
a couple of things I don't understand:

1) What is the word right before this phrase: "De la Villa de
Aguascalientes"?

2) What do ALL the abbreviations at the top left mean?

3) What is the second surname of Maria Ynes de Flores y ???Liras??? I'm
in doubt that this is an "L" since the "L" in Legitimo looks so
different. Also I'm thinking that the last letter really might be an "r"
instead of an "s" since it

It is my understanding that the LDS church has a ritual "Baptism of the Dead" which is why they gathered on microfilm all the documentation from as many countries as they could.

I once used a computer at my local Family Search Center where an LDS member had left it on with their password activated. When I entered my grandfather's name to search for his ancestors, I was astounded to see an unfamiliar form come up, one that "sealed" my grandfather and all his ancestors to the LDS, not once but several times from different locations that the LDS has. He and his had been baptized as a Mormons!

When I demanded an explanation, I was told about the ritual requirement of LDS members and "sealing". I explained that my grandfather and his ancestors had all been baptized Catholic for centuries, and that perhaps he was rolling in his grave. I was told my grandfather could "choose" to remain Catholic.

So, despite the revelation that my grandfather might not be too pleased, I, however

I Second that.

Subject: [Nuestros Ranchos] Some thoughts on Record Search changes

We have been told for some time that the Pilot Site would be going away eventually.

During that time changes have been made to Record Search, the availability of records has dramatically increased, but new records have not been added to Pilot, and the functionality has been improved. There were things with the Pilot Search feature that I thought were better, although I have recently noticed that the Record Search search feature has changed also. I’m not sure how the system works with accented letters, for example. I have found I cannot put in words with accents, but the results may have accents, depending on how the data was entered.

The advanced search works OK, but

Hi Maureen

I went to see the file you mentioned and I, as Angelina, didn’t see noting exceptional just the need of dispensation for the coupe because they were related in 3th grade. That means that they were may be cousins. You will more certain of their kinship when you´ll find their Guadalajara´s records. I transcribed the entire document 1 in Spanish (as you see my English in not handsome at all!) I hope this way it will be easier to understand.

In the second document the details are the same, but the date (16 and 30 sep) and the names of the couple. That´s odd more if you said they are father and son. Is it possible that they were brothers instead of father and son?

I attach here the document, good luck!

Hello Mytmo,

I took a look at the images you mentioned and I did not see anything that
was worth pulling out. It looks like they are just a confirmations that the
dispensations were granted in Guadalajara. I would look for the original
dispensa in Guadalajara for any details on these marriages.

I happened to have that in this spreadsheet

Thanks. I found a few also. While I was going through some of the early baptismal records I found a female that was baptised in 1650 and its noted that her parents were natives of the Haceinda de Villalpando.

Hola

Creo que es importante situarse en el período de tiempo en que las actas son escritas.

Mientras más antiguas son, logran especificar mejor cual es la "calidad" de la persona,es decir: español, mestizo, indio y todas sus mezclas mulato, lobo, coyote, etc. Y para eso eso son interesantes las diferencias que se especifican y se pueden encontrar en Wikipedia.

Pero conforme se van acercoando los registros al final del período Virreinal, que termina en 1821, es más difícil para los párrocos diferenciar entre las diferentes mezclas raciales distintas al "español" (término que no necesariamente equivalía a blanco, sino que la persona lo parecía o tenía más prestigio) Y por eso a principios del siglo XIX se ve un poco más comúnmente usado el término "casta" para lo que no es "español" sin detallar si la persona es mulata, mestiza, lobo, coyote, etc.

Por último, la palabra tresalbo, deriva de tres=3 y albo=blanco y se usaba para los caballos que tenían tres patas blancas y en el caso de

Lance Gonzalez on "nuestros ranchos" website under "albums" and then "Mestizaje de Mexico (Castas)" is a detailed list of castas.

Are you sure it is an A at the end of Cast? It's most likely an abbreviation
for casitzo which is the child of an español(a) and a mestizo(a) .
