Let me suggest that you visit the "Mexico folder" link below, of a new Family Search (Research Wiki - Beta) page that contains all-around information about finding ancestors in Mexico.

It includes about 50 recent Articles (written this year by LDS family history experts), - - - with descriptive information, links and references with a high quantity of research sources, bibliographies, disertations, monographs, lessons, and other concepts relating to research about ancestries in Mexico.

I am a descendant of the Juan Caliz also. I descend throught the Arredondos who married Santos COy and the Yslas Palacios of the mining area of Villaldama, Nuevo Leon who also married Santos Coy.

THe dna testing the results posted out on Gary Felix's Genealogy of Mexico website suggest a semitic origin to the family.

I have attached a pdf file of what I have so far. I have used the books of Garemendia Leal and the archives of monterrey as sources for this information.

Here is how I found the batch numbers for my specific ranchos (but there
is no guarantee there will be batch numbers for your ranchos):

1) go to the IGI

2) Under the first name put either "Jose" or "Maria"

Does anyone know what "hijo de estado chico" means in a church document? We have in particular a marriage between Francisco Godoy and Maria Rosa Llamas, where it states that Francisco is "hijo de estado chico" de Nicolas Godoy y Brigida Ortiz...

Any information about Don GABRIEL ORDOÑEZ RIFARACHE Clérigo Presbítero. I
know that "Don Fray Juan de Valle y Arredondo (Obispo 1608-1617) le
presentó al oficio de Pánuco y villa de Aguascalientes y después al del

The familysearchindexing.com site has recently put up the Aguascalientes section of the 1930 Mexico census up as a project!

Given that most people in this group are computer saavy and that this state is smack in the heart of our area of research, we should try to get as many people involved in helping out with this indexing project. You can volunteer to index as little or as much as you want and you can do it anytime you want over the internet.

Raul, I don't know if you have this information but I do have some of your line from Los Haros, Jerez Zacetacs that shows it a couple of generations further back than you posted in your file on both the Santiago and Haro families. My records only have 3 children for Jose Maria Hurtado and Maria Matilde Santiago, they are Pascuala 1889, Fabiana 1900 and Benigno in 1903.

Hola Primos! (Note: the rest of this message will be in English)

Well - was cruising the WEB - just looking - when I came across this site:

that is exactly what I would have been!!! It has been said that food is one of

And then again many people would be resistant to the idea that during the conquest, the Mexicans(Aztecs) ate the españoles, their conquerors.

To anyone faint of heart, do not read beyond these words because I have quoted from Bernal Diaz del Castillo's History of the Conquest of Mexico.

Greetings,

As I am new to Nuestros Ranchos, please forgive me if I am not upto date. However, I have been reading about the person looking to understand what "Hijo de Estado Chico" means.

If I am not mistaken, in the old days one was described due to their economical status. Although "Estado" could mean or describe someone "status" lets not forget it also stands for "State" as in location. The word chico could mean "minor" meaning under age, but it could also stand for "small" as in someone from a small state/town. I think when they announce Estado Chico, it could mean someone from a small town/ranch, someone without large economical status or resources, maybe a humble person, etc......

Vivian, I have this record that seems to be from your family. I was tracking Mejia family trying to tie it into mine. Also, some records read Murillo and others read Morillo so you may want to check out both spellings.

I hope someone can help me since I can't seem to get into most of the files of the Nuestros Ranchos members. When I try to access the file it says error report, any idea what I'm doing wrong? I'd really like to see and read what's posted.

Not all microfilms have batch numbers. Only the microfilms that have been
extracted. I might also add that in order anyone to search those batches they
have to be in the IGI database (you may also want to search the Vital Records

Hello All,

There is a batch number listing on microfiche that is called "Parish and Vital Records List". The copy I have has the date July 1998.(I only copied a portion of the film I needed). I believe that is the last time the LDS church put it out before becoming computerized. Before computers the IGI was on Microfiche....and most family history centers keep on file the old fiche.

Hello! If I have a film number, how could I get the batch number, been the case I don´t have a name nor a surname?
per example, I have a film number for Silao, Gto., FHL INTL 291844 baptisms 1670-1717, what would be the batch number?

Hello everyone:

I've been a member for about two weeks. In going through some old pictures, I decided to get serious about charting out my family history, and through good ole Google, came across this Web site. In going through old pictures my late parents left me, I also found a typed family history of the paternal side of my family, which is from Ejutla, Jalisco.

I have on loan two films, one for Jesús María, Jal. baptisms 1908-1916, other one for Arandas, Jal. baptisms 1910-1913, I can do a look up glady.
