Is there a way one can associate ranchos of yesteryear with ranchos of
today, in lieu of name changes to many towns/ranchos/and pueblos as a result of
the revolutionary war?
In particular, I am wondering if I can visit what used to be called Rancho
de Rana, Rancho de Aguajes, Rancho de Eno.

Rancho las Ranas

I read the questions you had regarding ranchos of yesteryear and there newer names. Rancho las Ranas near Atolinga is found in maps and now called Villahidalgo. My great-great grandparents were born there in the late 1700's and early 1800's. I visited there years ago and it is a beautiful countryside with many properties surrounded by stone fences. I've also read birth documents referring to this area as el monte de santa rosa. The relatives I found from there were Sandovals and Bugarins from nearby Atolinga.

I also looked at your file and came across the Guadalajara surname (actually I was looking for Bugarin's) you have a Marcelina Guadalajara married to Andres de Avila or Abila. I too have that line and I believe 3 additional children for the couple. Their daughter Claudia de Avila married Jossef Mateo Bugarin, they are my husband's great grandparents and Marcelina & Andres his gggrandparents. Take a look at my file under perezyolandabobby then go to the Guadalajara Document, I also have many Bugarin's, Bugarini's or Bugas as some of them refer to themselves.

Great picture of your grandfather, WOW... what a treat to have something so old. Please think about adding it to the ranchos photo collection. Speaking of photos, this is a story about my husband Baltazar Bugarini Perez (mother was Bugarini) and his trip to Tepic, Nayarit, and San Blas. It was a chance meeting of enormous coincidence, but while strolling down a main street in Tepic he heard someone singing and he took a look inside this small store and noticed that to the back was a jardin. There in the garden he saw a reunion of people and one gentleman was singing to none other than Lola Beltran. My husband was quite thrilled at the sight and the following day went back. Well, it seems that he had seen the name Bugarin somewhere in the store and decided to return to find out if there was a connection. The gentleman who had been singing the day before greeted Balta and Balta introduced himself with his credentials. The man immediately took him inside his home
offered him lunch and drinks and a conversation full of family history. Balta says that there were Oval Bubble Framed portraits of the Bugarin family members going way back hung ALL around the room just under the ceiling. The man knew exaclty who each one was and their lineage. Yes they definately made a family connection and I wish I had been there to take photos. You see, one never knows when there might be a connection. Maybe you and Balta's will turn out to be related??? Quien sabe...tal vez

Ranchos of yesteryear
Esperanza:
If you go into the links section of the Nuestros Ranchos site, you will see a link to the Diccionario Biografico y Geografico de Mexico by Antonio Garcia Cubas...
That dictionary has an amazing number of locality names with descriptions and locations, including very, very small ranchos. The book was published in the late 1800s so it has the names of the ranchos prior to the Mexican Revolution.
For example for Ranas it states:
Rancho del distrito y municipalidad de Puruandiro, Estado de Michoacan con 340 habitantes; Otro del estado de Nuevo Leon, municpalidad de Lampazos; Otro del de Zacatecas, partido de Tlaltenango, municipio de Atolinga con 228 habitantes.
Which one of these are you looking for? The one in Atolinga? If so, you might be able to find it on a modern map of Zacatecas:
